| DaRev said: - On what day was light created? Now, on what day did god create sources of light? He created the light on the first day and named them thereafter. - Which was created first? Man, or animals? (look at Genesis 1 and 2) Not applicable!, cause Genesis 1 doesn’t talk about Man or Animals. - Where in the bible is Jesus called "Emmanuel", as it was prophesised? Everywhere, cause Immanuel literally means "God is with us." This is significant because Jesus is God in flesh. So God aka Jesus can to Earth and was with us. So prophets were saying that God would be with us, not necessarily that his name will be Immanuel. Plus names back them mean something, not like the crap names we have today like Bob or Kate. By the way what’s your name? - What were Jesus's last words on the cross before death? Depends on who was listening, as there were many people there at the time. So Jesus’ last words might depend on who was there and what they heard and more over who they repeated it to after his death. Chose a person and get back to me. - Who carried Jesus's cross before he was crucified? I have no idea. Ypou tell me possible I can learn something from you. - Where did Josiah die? I have no idea who is Josiah, please enlighten me. - Why did god refer to Abraham's "only son Isaac", after Ishmael had already been born? Not sure but I think it’s because the first was an ‘illegitimate’ child according to God’s plan. Just a few examples to think about. |
"Named them"? What do you mean? In Genesis 1, he created light on the first day. He created the sources of light - the "lights in the sky" - on the third day. But here's some more fun - it says that evening and morning occurred, and then it was the third day... and only then did lights get created in the sky. So how does evening and morning exist without a sun?
From Genesis 1: "Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."" - so man was made to rule over the creatures that move along the ground. This says that animals were already there, and god specifically made man to rule over them.
From Genesis 2: "Then the LORD God said, 'It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper as his partner.' So out of the ground the LORD God formed every animal of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name." - so man was made first, and then given animals after that. Note that sometimes the excuse is inserted that the correct phrasing is "God HAD formed every animal", making it past-tense... but it doesn't explain why man was alone first. But even if it wasn't true that animals were made later, it doesn't explain the inconsistency with regards to purpose. In Genesis 1, man is made with the specific purpose of ruling over animals. In Genesis 2, man is made separately, and then god decides that animals should help him. Whether you consider the creation order to be an issue or not, there's still an issue with god's purpose.
Jesus is not called Emmanuel or God With Us once in the bible. He is only ever called Jesus. Note that the prophecy wasn't that "He will be Emmanuel", but that "He will be called Emmanuel". Nobody called him that. Not once. By the way, "Immanuel" is a bad romanisation (actually, so is Jesus - Yeshua is a much more accurate way to write his name).
When I refer to Jesus's last words, I'm referring to the literal last words. Two accounts are given of the moment of his death. In both accounts, he dies immediately after saying the last words, so it wasn't just "who was there for each of the things he said". Luke and John both provide accounts. Have a look.
Mark, Matthew, and Luke all say that Simon of Cyrene carried the cross. John, on the other hand, says that Jesus himself carried his cross. They can't both be true.
Do you claim to be Christian? If you do, how can you not know your holy book, cover to cover? Now, I'm not a christian, and can't claim to know perfectly, but my understanding is that Josiah was a king of Assyria, killed by Pharoah Neco of Egypt. Two accounts are given - in 2 Kings, he was killed at Megiddo and his dead body was carried back to Jerusalem. In 2 Chronicles, he was merely mortally wounded at Megiddo, and commanded his servants to take him back to Jerusalem - he died in Jerusalem.
God didn't say "your only legitimate son Isaac", he said "your only son Isaac". I doubt that god is really so careless with his words that he would say something that is wrong, irrespective of whether he considers the other son "legitimate".
