RE: Fun Bible Facts
Because sin entered the world and death followed

That happened almost at the beginning of time with Adam & Eve... did it not?

RE: Fun Bible Facts
They never did FTR. Calendars where not invented at that particular time and were subject to local superstitions. I could be wrong but I think Min commented elsewhere that the use of moon cycles and seasons played havoc with accurate calendars until the Romans. So the childish nonsense that people lived for a long time is only tantamount to the childish perspective of the writers of the Pentateuch.

Yep ..it was all made up stories form other pagan religions that had nothing to do with xtianity...praise your lawd!

I guess people were more right with the Lord back then.

Now, why people lived longer before the flood I don't know because the Bible doesn't say (I can't think without it). The Bible doesn't tell us why so it must not be important.

Let's do this exercise together shall we? Can you please use your Bible and tell me what Romans 5:12 says?

I was pretty tight with the Lord! Very shy though. It always seemed like I was talking to myself Undecided

I admit it is kind of strange that the same Lord that spoke with people casually without even the pyrotechnic display of a burning bush:

Quote:Exodus 33:11 Yahweh used to talk to Moses face to face, as a man talks to a friend.

He even once gave a speech to the entire nation of Judea

Quote:Judges 1:1-2 Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the LORD, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?
And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.

But has gotten really quiet lately.

I'm going to have to pray on that...

Maybe He's always been busy when I wanted to talk to him? I'll send him a text!

You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
