I'll buy that. Thank you very much for your post. As for Noah's age being 500, that's when he became a father. We can't be sure about the age that God spoke about the flood. So I'll stick to 120 years before the flood. I accept your theory about bacteria, and actually I had forgotten about the...

Hi Dan, first impressions many times are not reality. When I surveyed this Forum, It seemed to me that there were only a handful of folk posting. Some of the posts were in jest and not serious answers. Someone made a crude remark in their welcome of which was deleted later, which I saw as...

No it certainly is not a story book but a history book. The 120 years you spoke about was 120 years before the flood would come. It took 120 years for Noah to build the ark, all the while telling the people IMO, to believe or die in the flood. That must have blown their minds because there was...

As I study in the O.T. the thought comes up, what exactly is the reason that those Saints of old lived longer lives than we do. Is it sin with us? Genetics?

I like your post there Aspen, very well done, and very true.

Ha, Ha, quite right Tex, we're only dirt bags. ;)

Oh my, Walter. with every blessing, I have learned new ways to thank our Lord. With each falling, I have learned new ways how to get back up. With each chastisement, I have learned the lesson of repentance. With each sin, I have learned how to ask forgiveness.

Shakespeare? A translater? :rolleyes:

OK, Thank you very much for the info Guys. I appreciate it. Hey, it's good to see a fellow Calvinist on board :D .

How can I tell if anyone has answered my post? When I come on, I can't see a place where I can see where I posted and to see if anyone replied. Thank you in advance.

Ha Ha, yea, 90 degree heat with 80% humidity, beard goes!

The OP is an interesting subject to be sure. Luke 23:43 has those two interesting and controversial words "Today" and "Paridise". There are some people who think that paradise is somewhere in the earth because of the parable of the rich man and Lazaruth. Paul, in 2 Corinthians 12:4 says it's up...

According to the OP I would like to retire the doctrine of Baptist Churches that certain gifts of the Holy Spirit has ceased. Like not having a five fold ministry in our local assemblies.

The strange element in translations, is that the Greek language, as you probably already know, is a pictorial language. Therefore in order to make sense of a particular word so that the reader could understand it, the writers used many words to interpret that word. This is where I find a major...

Thank you Martin. At 74, I'm interested in serious Bible study and theological issues. I'd like to think that perhaps I can be a blessing in someone's life and add some relative discussion to some threads. Thanks old Buddy, I'll drop in once in a while.
