Once again, the reason I stated the lunar calendar is because that's the calendar the nation of Israel used. The use of a lunar calendar is why the scriptures say "and there was evening and there was morning" to describe a 24 hour day. Moses was raised as an Egyptian and the Egyptians had a calendar before Moses was born, so yes Moses knew good and well what a calendar was. As far as the long lived men of scripture, I believe that to be true, using the Jewish lunar calendar and counting back the years, their ages fit. Your problem is that you do not think God can communicate with Moses, again your lack of acknowledging God's omnipotence. My God is the God of scripture, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, this is the only God, none other exist. I am neither infallible nor all knowing, on the contrary, I'm exactly as God says one of His fallen creatures who needs His grace every day. I do not try to make God fit into any kind of mold, He is who HE says He is in scripture. There is no other way I can know Him except by His revelation through scriptures. I do not need to shout at you and I haven't and as far as making God into something He is not you've tried to by saying God is Hindu, Buddhist and ect. Also I'm not mad at you, but as far as a slight difference in interpretation you are way off base as far as I see it.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
