    "AS OLD AS METBUSELAH." 449 league with Satan. They said, " He casts out devils by Beelzebub." 1 He is but an embodied falsehood, speaking lies, working a lie, professing to cast out Satan, that He may the better serve him. But the charge was as unwise as unveracious. The answer was easy : " If Satan cast out Satan, how shall his kingdom stand ? If he work against himself, how can his works serve him ? Then, if I cast out devils by Beelzebub, by whom do your disciples cast them out ? By Beelzebub, too ? Let them be your judges."1 The cycle was completed ; fanatical resistance to the light had become fanatical denial of its existence. It was little wonder that Jesus met the deputation from Jerusalem with the question, "Why do ye transgress the commandment of God by your tradition ? • .

  • The Generations of Adam
    The Generations of Adam hat is the purpose of Bible chronology? According to Philip Mauro, in Wonders of Bible Chronology, “its basis is the Bible itself; its plan is the genealogical or life line that Wstretches from the first Adam to the last Adam ... and its purpose is to bring those who follow its progress to revelations of vital truth pertaining to God’s mighty work of redemption.” Genesis 5 reveals the time span between Adam and the worldwide flood of Noah’s time. The following table summarizes this time line: Age at: Anno Hominis Adam created 0 Adam's birth of Seth (130) 130 Seth's birth of Enosh (105) 235 Enosh's birth of Kenan (90) 325 Kenan's birth of Mahalalel (70) 395 Mahalalel's birth of Jared (65) 460 Jared's birth of Enoch (162) 622 Enoch's birth of Methuselah (65) 687 Methuselah's birth of Lamech (187) 874 Lamech's birth of Noah (182) 1056 time of worldwide flood Noah's 1656 (600) Before we analyze Genesis 5 further, a few general points must be made. First, the Bible is the only reliable source book that gives history with an exact chronology for the first 4000 years of the human race. It has been about 6000 years since the creation of man. For the first 3/5ths of this period, there is no chronological information whatever except in the Bible. The histories of other peoples give an account of their beginning vaguely and in the context of myths and fables. In contrast, the Bible is a very accurate historical document.

  • The Christian Comforter
    The Christian Comforter Enoch the seventh from Adam In the book of Genesis, there are two Enoch’s; one from the line of Cain, in Genesis 4:17, and one from the line of Seth, who is the Enoch that we are concerned with here. The lineage is Adam — Seth — Enos — Cainan — Mahalaleel — Jared — Enoch. Enoch walked with God, and after 365 years God took him — he did not die. Genesis 5:23-24 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. This fact is expanded upon in Hebrews chapter 11 — among those who walked in faith. Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. Enoch is also found in the genealogy of Jesus. Luke 3:37 Which was the son of Mathusala, which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan. Note; above the names are spelt differently in the New Testament which was originally written in Greek. In the time of the early church fathers, the book of Enoch was widely accepted as inspired scripture by Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Athenagoras, Tertullian, Origen and Lactantius. They all referenced Enoch in their own writings, probably because of Jude’s reference that it was a prophetic text. Jude 1:14-15 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

  • Chapter 8: Adam and Eve and Human Origins
    CHAPTER 7. ADAM AND EVE AND HUMAN ORIGINS Genesis 3:20. And Adam called his wife’s name Eve because she was the mother of all living. The subject of Adam and Eve and human origins is the most difficult to explain of the many science-Bible issues, and the hardest to reconcile theologically. The church’s position on this issue appears “set” and not about to change: Adam and Eve are the father and mother of the whole human race. This has been the traditional view of the church for centuries, and many church “professions of faith” have this statement in them. Furthermore, the church has not, in general, had this traditional view challenged by science because it has only been in the last 50 years or so, and especially in the last ten, that the preponderance of scientific evidence has mounted against it. It has been my experience that Christians exhibit one of the following attitudes on the subject of human origins, and I personally know Christians that fall into each of these categories: Ignorance. People who don’t know. Many Christians, and perhaps the majority, fall into this category. The scientific evidence is relatively recent and still in a state of flux, so this subject has not been prominently featured on television, nor has it been designated by the Christian community as a subject to be contended – in contrast to the subject of evolution, which has been contentious for almost 150 years. Therefore most Christians are unfamiliar with this subject as a science-Bible issue. Apathy. People who don’t care.

  • 71. Genesis Unleashed
    October 10, 2020 Genesis Proclaimed Association www.genesisproclaimed.org Email: [email protected] Genesis Unleashed Dick Fischer Enough archaeological artifacts and pieces of literature have been recovered from the ancient Near East in recent years touching on Genesis characters and events to highlight the need for making necessary English translation adjustments to the sacred text. Rooted in the 1611 King James Version, Genesis has blossomed into puzzling modern versions to keep us perplexed even today. Just a cursory reading of the Genesis 2-11 narrative places early patriarchal history within the context of the Neolithic Period in southern Mesopotamia, present-day Iraq, beginning no earlier than 7,000 years ago, whereas our species has occupied earthly domains for hundreds of thousands of years. Old Testament commentators have shown some awareness of ancient Near East literature in recent years, but typically do not dig deep enough to recognize its value. If these much-maligned chapters of Genesis are translated and understood as Adamic/Semitic history, not as human history, they make perfectly good sense. Only the King James Version is examined here, but the principles apply to all translations. Keywords: Genesis, Adam, Adam and Eve, Seth, Cain, Enoch, Noah, Flood, Sumerians, Akkadians, Eridu, Mesopotamia, Near East, Tigris, Euphrates, Ziusudra, Gilgamesh, Sumerian King List, Adapa. Where Did We Go Wrong? Interpretational mistakes with major long-term consequences began with the early Christian Church. When the Apostle Paul set out on missionary trips he visited synagogues seeking out Jews who would listen to the good news the Messiah had come. Considering Jesus to be God in human form was considered blasphemous to many of his Jewish listeners, yet Paul found a few who took his message to heart.

  • The Life of Adam
    The Golden Legend or Lives Of The Saints Compiled by Jacobus de Voragine, Archbishop of Genoa, 1275 Englished by William Caxton, First Edition 1483 From the Temple Classics Edited by F.S. Ellis THE LIFE OF ADAM Caxton added this life to his edition of the Golden Legend, but it was not a part of Voragine’s original. The Sunday of Septuagesima (i.e., the third Sunday before Lent) beginneth the story of the Bible, in which is read the legend and story of Adam which followeth. THE CREATION n the beginning God made and created heaven and earth. The earth was idle and void and covered with darkness. And the spirit of God was borne on the waters, and God said: Be made light, and anon light was made. And God saw that light was good, and divided the Ilight from darkness, and called the light day and darkness night. And thus was made light with heaven and earth first, and even and morning was made one day. The second day he made the firmament, and divided the waters that were under the firmament from them that were above, and called the firmament heaven. The third day were made on the earth herbs and fruits in their kind. The fourth day God made the sun and moon and stars, etc. The fifth day he made the fishes in the water and birds in the air. The sixth day God made the beasts on the earth, every one in his kind and gender. And God saw that all these works were good and said: Faciamus hominem, etc.
