I'll let your first paragraph go because I agree about the inspiration part but..... No, I'm sorry. The book of Enoch, at least 1 Enoch antedated Jude. I understand spurious writings and authors who are not who they say they are. But yes, people did know about and call Enoch the seventh from...

Well, you really ought to give better sources that what you call assumption is assumption, but my point already considered the possibility that Jude quoted it unknowingly (I agree God would have allowed that). A quote is a quote, even if by accident. My main point is that what Jude said was...

I believe he did, and there's no shortage of opinions that believe that, but even if he did not, I still offered something. The same prophecy in Enoch is stated virtually verbatim by Jude and the nomenclature "seventh from Adam" is what the proposed author called his grandfather Enoch. In...

You are correct. I did not offer anything except that Jude quoted Enoch, so the seventh from Adam was stated long before Jude said it was my point. And I'm good with God counting this way because otherwise Firstfruits until Pentecost is a larger problem and so are the Jubilee years. First...

Well, the 'seven from Adam' is what Enoch was called. Jude did not actually originate this phrase as if that's the name he gave to Enoch. He's quoting (whether intentionally or not) the book of Enoch. So we can't blame Jude for I don't know what he believed. I would not say by this passage alone...

I only made one contribution to this thread claiming that we should get to the context of this and you are claiming I'm having fun with my imagination? I only raised questions and made no claims yet. Ya know you really have to watch how you judge people beforehand lest people see that you are...

Two points I see in your argument: 1) The definition of "from": have you looked it up in Strong's? 2) Although the word genealogy is not mentioned, how do you know Jude is not talking about a specific lineage in a genealogy by implication? OK, Enoch was the 7th. The 7th what? Since it is...

Did I hear Pyramid? :D Being into math and stars there was a time I researched that as well. Except for the Christ triangle inside of it (showing he lived 12240 days and can be deduced by the bible) I'm not so sure that the absolute dates are correct not because of pyramid troubles, but...

Naomi; the Lord established the feasts as "shadows of things to come". They were prophetic indicators of God's plan of redemption for all of mankind. Paul asserted this. There is plenty of biblical proof and not some dream of our friend here. As a matter of fact, the whole biblical story is...

I've been trying to figure this for years (and finally came upon a site that sorts this out a different way). But if we revisit the 483 prophetic years from the Nehemiah decree until the crucifixion, it is as you stated of a sun total of 173880 days. From this knowledge, I calculated without...

From the way I understand what you are saying, I think we are saying the same thing. Of course I don't advocate following the Law legalistically or for righteousness. But if we are righteous following Him we will tend to emulate that same Law. For new comers to the faith, the Law gives one a...

But righteousness is defined by His Law, so you can't talk of repentance or keeping from sins unless you have a benchmark as to what sin is, i.e. His law.

Right! If we are to be justified by the Law, then we indeed fail. But that does not mean the standards of the LAW are done away with. We keep those standards, e.g the Sabbath, not because they save us, but because they are the righteous standards of God and it pleases Him. Don't confuse the...

To make things clear. We are not "under" the law, ie. the CURSE the Law. Jesus died to save us from the curse of the law. This does not mean that the STANDARDS of the law are done away with. If we are in him, then we want to obey the standards of the Law, which is a list of God's...

Or for that matter some that advocate eating unclean meats as well while condemning pot. The bible at least clearly specifies the meats while nothing is really stated (clearly) about cannabis, and alcohol is not unclean but had its restrictions (such as priests being under its influence for...

You want to rephrase your question, please? I'm not sure what you are asking.

Thanks regarding my reflection. But as for the direction to Jerusalem, you must be thinking of a Mercator map with a constant bearing. Yes, Jerusalem is a more southern latitude than I am, but that does not necessarily indicate the direction. Such a path with a constant SE bearing will get you...

Here's scripture I gathered relating to the ark which explains its fashion and purpose: And they shall make an ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof. 11And thou shalt overlay...

By mundane, I just mean physical manifestations such as what I mentioned that relate to things in the scripture. To briefly revisit each item, mention #1 is merely a measurement that relates to the same numbers pertaining to the ark. OK, perhaps nothing big in and of itself but, #3 towards the...

I have at the east end of my property a curious stone out here in the fields which I call the Christ Stone. Why? Like the Stone of destiny, it represents Christ to me. I don’t worship it, although it has some interesting reminder properties: Like the 1) ark of the covenant (which foreshadowed...
