    Observations Timeline of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

    The diagram does not show a year zero, but it does show a number line with a zero in the line. The diagram just shows simple number theory.

    Observations Timeline of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

    Yes, we do not know the exact day of His birth. My understanding is that Christ was born at the start of the third age of the existence of the Israelite people, i.e. at the start of the fifth age of mankind. I trust that the above diagram makes sense. Shalom

    Unreached People Groups

    Sorry, you are placing me in the wrong camp. I do not believe that the saints will be able to fulfil this directive until a further 1,040 or so years have past. In other words, Acts 1:18 has an end time conclusion and not a reached place criteria.

    Observations Timeline of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

    After a person has their birthday, they enter into the next year of their life. Your logic below does not make any sense with regards to the counting of years.

    Unreached People Groups

    It seems that you have not understood my post. The criteria is time and the end of this time period is the final judgement of all of the peoples of the earth. If we use place, then many people today believe that we have fulfilled this verse already. If we use the end time of criteria then we...

    Unreached People Groups

    I would suggest that that we are to witness the Gospel to the end with respect to time of the earth. If we use the requirement of place, then we have already completed this task, but if the requirement is with respect to time where the end point in time is the final Judgement, then we still...

    1948 NOT a Complete Fulfillment of Prophecy

    I have probably suggested this verse before; however, many believe that it is not associated with the 1948 AD return of some of Abraham's descendants to the land of Canaan. The verse is Gen 15:16 which states: - English Standard Version And they shall come back here in the fourth generation...

    I'm such a newb...

    I usually start with, "Hello/Howdy Lord, I am starting to pray to You, and I need help as to how I should pray." Just treat your prayer like having a conversation with a good friend, which requires us to both speak and to listen during the conversation otherwise the conversation breaks down.

    Observations Timeline of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ

    Yes, Christ had to have been born before "March 4BC" when Herod died while Jesus had been taken down towards Egypt. The question is how many days before Herod had all the babies in Bethlehem, under the age of 2 years old, killed, was Christ born. I would suggest that Christ was around 4 to 5...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    You are possibly right that Gal 3:7-9 has a bearing upon our understanding of Gen 12:3, however, what was the understanding some 2000 or so years before Gal 3:7-9 was written. When God spoke to Jacob on his way up to Haran to get a wife from his mother's family, God told Jacob that his...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Just because the various translations for Gen 12:3 are all consistent does not guarantee that all are not faulty with respect to this verse. Years of language studies and transmission of data precisely. Most of the time I agree with you that the ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS are adequate for our...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    But referencing faulty translations does not prove your point at all. I am not rewriting the Bible as you are suggesting, but what I am doing is attempting to improve the contextual accuracy of the English translations so that the context of the Hebrew Text is actually reflected in the...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    Why are you? If yes, then show how the English context that I presented is not the same as the original Hebrew Context, otherwise your response is a false argument and rebuttal. The context though is not the same. The context that I presented above, limits who the people are who will be...

    A bit of a mess in the White House.

    This verse as presented does not give the same context that is found in the Hebrew Text for this verse. After considering the Hebrew Text of Genesis 12:3, this is how I understand and express the same context as the Hebrew in English: - This context is much closer to the Hebrew text.

    The Date of the Lord delivering Israel.

    First off, even the Lunar calendar every few years adds an additional 30 day month to account for the solar year. There is a 19 or so year cycle during which a number of years have an additional month added. If you assume that the prophecy of 2,300 days and nights should be taken literally...

    The Date of the Lord delivering Israel.

    My diagram spans some 3,324 solar years from around 250 BC up to 3068 AD where the first 2,300 solar years has been given over to the Little Horn and the armies that he is given to trample God's Sanctuary and His earthly Hosts when the Judgement of the heavenly hosts and the kings of the earth...

    The Date of the Lord delivering Israel.

    This is what my Interlinear shows: - And this is the meaning of H:4940: - And this is the meaning of H:0127: - And this is how I understand that Genesis 12:3 should be paraphrased: - Genesis 12:3: - 3 I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And...

    The Date of the Lord delivering Israel.

    Thank you for being brave to show your dislike of the Israelites alive today. Gen 12:3 is applicable.

    Why the great chain?

    Oh, your usual put down of others. That speaks louder than you providing your understanding of the Parable of the Talents and the Minas. It just shows that you are the one with the lack of the reading comprehension skills. So, I will let you off the hook.

    Why the great chain?

    Then explain the parables of the Talents and Minas from the point of your understanding to clear up my supposed misunderstanding.
