Subject: Intricate: Just as God's Word is. Author: Hillbilly [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:58:46 09/27/10 Mon In reply to: Hillbilly 's message, "Dan Chap 9 vss 20-27 Continued Post 48" on 15:12:57 09/26/10 Sun As noted in Larkin's work the Hebrew calendar had 360 days and not 365 with a leap year ever 4 years as we have today. Where he gets the 360 day year as the prophetic year is from Genesis with the appropriate verses below. From the scriptures one would deduce the year was actually 5 days shorter than the solar year we go by today Genesis 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. Genesis 8:3-4 And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated. 4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. Genesis 8:4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. 17th day of the 2nd month until the 17 day of the 7th month is 5 months exactly and the scriptures are plain the length in days was 150 days. 150 divided by 5 = 30 days for each month. 30 times 12 = 360. Time as God created it. Sometime during the early years after the flood God caused a cataclysmic event to take place that changed the earth's rotation by slowing it down. It may have also changed the tilt so that what was once verdant and warm (Antarctica) would now be for ages and ages cold and frozen. It is interesting at the evidence that has been found to support a warm Antarctica. Fossils of animals that could only live in warm climates. This "rift" in the earth could also explain the similar animals in dissimilar places. Also the isolated animals found only in places like Australia and the Galapagos. Whatever the facts the truth can be found in God's word just as the prophecy of the 483 years came to pass on the exact day if you use the original formula for a year.

[> [> Subject: I agree, Connie Author: dori [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:06:51 09/29/10 Wed Hillbilly brings scripture to life in his studies. I would one day love to meet him and I know I would see the countenance of the Lord on his face. He is truly blessed. I loved the part about the change in the earth's tilt causing all kinds of climate change and animal species displacement. It makes one wonder if the ever approaching sun to our planet is a symbol of the ever approaching Son to our planet, doesn't it?

[> [> [> Subject: Dori Author: Connie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:07:02 09/29/10 Wed I'm sure you remember Basil. Well, he doesn't believe in the Bible and he bases his disbelief on the fact he claims that there never was a flood because of the evidence in the different layers of the earth (forget what that's called but I'm sure you and Hillbilly know what I'm talking about).

[> [> [> [> Subject: Basil wouldn't believe if..... Author: dori [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 00:22:47 09/30/10 Thu Jesus came right up to him with a geologist's report on it. He is a "thinker" who is so smart he outsmarts himself. A sad man, too. What peace Jesus could bring to him if he'd let him in. 8-(

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Dori Author: Connie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:59:13 09/30/10 Thu The really sad part is that he has two daughters who will be influenced by his ideas re God, Jesus and the Bible.

[> [> [> [> Subject: Connie and Dori Author: Hillbilly [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:55:43 09/30/10 Thu I have seen where you mentioned this Basil in the past and from what I gather from both of you he is reprobate. The fossil record is a complicated study but it can be understood simply. First the fossils in different strata. Sedimentary rock layers are a world wide fact. The very word sediment invokes the idea of a settling of solids suspended in a liquid. Heavier sediment sinks fastest as will objects that are not dissolved in water. Heavier boned animals would sink fastest and would be found more in the deepest of the sediments as they would hit the bottom first and be covered the deepest. How much hair an animal had would also factor as the more hair the more buoyant. Feathered birds would probably sink last. This would be interpreted by many scientists, who believe these layers are evidence of ages, as showing an evolutionary process. However, in order to preserve the entire animal and allow fossilization the process would of necessity have to happen quickly. Animals decompose and also are eaten by scavengers. To find an entire fossilized animal, whether large or small, would require that animal to be buried in the layer very quickly. All this proves the probability of a catastrophic flood rather than ages of slow building of the layer. Something also that cannot be explained other than an event like the flood is when you find a treasure trove of fossils at high altitude in mountainous areas. In some of these locations you will find all sorts of fossils of carnivore as well as herbivore animals. Only something more frightening than being eaten would cause these various animals to be in the same location at the same time to be buried together and fossilized in the same strata. Only a flood answers the riddle of what would have produced this. I'm sure you Basil already has had these facts thrown at him many times and I'm just as sure that he ignores the evidence just as he ignores the fact of ancient lore from all over the world testifying of a great flood in the distant past. Indigenous peoples the world over have these legends woven into their historical past. The evidence of the flood is too great to ignore.

[> [> [> [> [> Subject: Boy, Hillbilly... Author: dori [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:46:34 09/30/10 Thu You sure have Basil pegged... grin. That's him to a tee. As Connie said, it is sad that he is raising his two daughters to be atheist--having said he wants his children to think with their brains and not get caught up in a bunch of fairy tales. Sad, huh?

[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Hillbilly Author: Connie [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 09:34:10 10/01/10 Fri As Dori said you have Basil pegged to a tee.I guess we mention him because we've known him (in another forum) for along time and remember when both his children were born and how proud he was of them (and still is I'm sure). They are teen-agers now. He is an engineer (and I'm sure a very good one) and I believe engineers, as well as scientists, are the ones who have the most trouble accepting the Bible as the inerrant Word of God. Also although I'm not sure I believe he was a Roman Catholic in his younger years and apparently something happened to cause him to reject everything spiritual and only accept what he can see, feel or touch and for which there is a "earthly" explanation.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Hillbilly Author: Sandy [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:19:21 10/05/10 Tue I believe that what is written in 1st Cor. 1:23-31 as well as chapter 2 explains why those your describing cannot seem to come to the knowledge of the truth sometimes. Meaning they think to much, only believing what is logical to their minds I guess. :-) Not choosing to believe what they do not understand within their own minds in faith. There are many people like that it seems, choosing to only believe what is reasonable to them. And you cannot be like that in order to follow the Lord. Another scripture that says the same thing is written in Is. 55:8-11. As well as what God finally told Job also beginning in Job 38-41. I believe chapter 41 telling us who these people are following, as well as whose child they also belong to as well, unfortunately.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Sandy, Author: Hillbilly [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:21:57 10/06/10 Wed I also think often they can't or won't come to the knowledge of the truth because they want a god they can control. As you cited God's ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. Thanks for you input and it is good to see you here again God bless.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Yes, it's nice to see you again, Sandy. 8-) Author: dori [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:39:08 10/08/10 Fri And it seems I am behind in a study. Been having some health issues, but all is improving. Will 'splain more later. Gots a toothache and am going to bed. xoxo
