are you even aware of Nehushtan, bro? Meaning could you explain Nehushtan to me without going and looking it up? Tell me some more about all you know of the people on the 180 degree other side of the planet lol
You do not know about Islam to know it is false nor christianity to know that Jesus is the Truth. So why should I look up something you pulled out of history to claim "rip off" by christianity? I would not doubt that there are some similarities, but so what?
There are a lot of other claims that christianity & parts of the Bible has been made up from and not just from Nehushtan. Funny how putting them altogether, we can pull out stuff that christianity had come from, but no cigar there, because Jesus has risen from the dead; and the O.T. had prophesied His coming, death, and resurrection. You cannot get reality from any such stories made up in history when there would be no christianity if Christ had not risen at all.
1 Corinthians 15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
The Book of Zechariah is in the Old Testament prophesying of the day when the rest of the Jews ( and not just the 144,000 Jewish witnesses for the great tribulation + the 2 witnesses in Jerusalem for they will know this before He comes ) will realize that they had crucified their Messiah when He returns with the pre raptured saints at the end of the great tribulation.
Zechariah 12:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and
they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Zechariah 14:1
Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3
Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. 4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. 5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and
the Lord my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
BTW Creation is not continuous. It has been set in motion from creation, but the actual act of creation ended the sixth day when God rested the seventh day. Stars being born and so forth are what God had set in motion to be created, thus not creation itself.
Punctuated Equilibrum or "Rapid Macroevolution" was proposed by Stephen Jay Gould because there was a huge gap of transitional fossils in the fossil records for gradual macroevolution to be true. He surmised that around the pre-Cambrian or Cambrian period was a time of a global flood as this was the cause for the explosion in the fossil records.
The only problem is... they can't prove anything passed human history by their dating method, but the Bible can confirm the findings in Genesis of Noah's ark and the global flood which is why they are finding mass graves of fossilizied whale bones with other fossilized marine life on mountaintops WITH fossilized land animal bones at various places over the world; starting at the Andes mountains.
So macro evolution which is really what the evolution theory is about... is false. Micro evolution will always produce micro evolution. It is just a borrowed term from the Law of Biogenesis to make macro evolution believable and Punctuaded Equilibrium has already been proposed to disprove gradual macroevolution of its way of micorevolution spread out over hundreds of millions of years.
If stands to reason that spontaneous generation is false within view of human history, then it is equally false as not seen beyond human history but that is what the evolution theory is spinning that fairy tale about.
But I digress...
