Like me, you are probably tired of reading silly bible questions. Here's a hint on how to answer them. Use basic and cardinal rules in interpreting serious documents--the ones used by lawyers and judges. Here are two principles:

# 1 KNOW INTENTION OF THE AUTHOR. Jesus exposed the ignorance of the religious leaders by not knowing the intention behind the law of the Sabbath. (Mark 2:27)

#2 Ordinary words are given ordinary meaning--UNLESS the resulting interpretation is absurd. For example it would be ridiculous to literally interpret Jesus' words to cut-off your arms, or gouge your eyes if these make you sin.

Given the above guides, how do you answer the following silly biblical questions:

Q#1 Why were dinosaurs,e.g. Tyrannosaurus Rex, not mentioned in the bible?

Q# 2 Did Noah also bring bacteria and lichen on the arc; what about fishes?

Q# 3 Did God literally create the earth in 6 days?
Six answers:

You will find that most people asking these questions don't want an answer. Trolls just love the absurd.

1. Leviathan is written, though, The Dragon.



2. God causes species to flourish/decline and is a God of Order.



3. 4,540,000,000 / {6,000 x 6,000} = 126.11111... = 120 given to Noah and Moses + 6 days for years.



360 x 100 Abraham x 1,000 Years.

The 6th to 7th day was July 27, 4004BC to July 28th, 4004BC. The 5th to the 6th day was 1000 years from that 5004BC. The 4th to 5th was 1,000,000 years from that. The 3rd to 4th day was 1,000,000,000 years from 4004BC. The 2nd day to 3rd day was 1 trillion years from that and the 1st day to 2nd day was 1000 trillion years from 4004BC.

"however the hot testomony is amazingly specific bearing directly to the incontrovertible fact that Jesus fairly did no longer come from Joseph's or the different guy's stump" <-- that replaced into exceptionally humorous. :) right this is the respond... Luke 3:23-24 references Joseph as being the son of Heli, at the same time as Matthew a million:sixteen says he's the son of Jacob. Joseph can't be the son of the two Jacob and Heli. So, is this a contradiction? No. In Biblical situations there replaced into no word for significant different's father, in basic terms as there replaced into no word for grandfather. Heli replaced into truthfully Mary's father, making him Joseph's significant different's father. the reason the two genealogies are distinctive is that Joseph replaced into descended from Solomon at the same time as Mary replaced right into a descendant of Solomon's brother Nathan (considered one of David's different sons). So, Joseph and Mary have been truthfully cousins besides the incontrovertible fact that many situations got rid of. considering Heli had no sons, Mary had to discover a husband from the tribe of Judah like herself to guard her father's assets (See Numbers 36). She additionally mandatory an on the spot descendant of Solomon to suitable her son's declare to the throne of David, considering Nathan's descendants weren't of the Royal line. Joseph extra healthful the invoice on the two money owed, yet like another descendant of Solomon's, he carried a blood curse, disqualifying any organic and organic son of his from ever being King of Israel (Jeremiah 22:28-30). considering Joseph replaced into no longer Jesus' organic and organic father, he would desire to undertake Him, which qualified Him to be King without passing Him the curse. considering Jesus replaced into born into Joseph's family contributors, He replaced right into a criminal inheritor. And, by using Joseph, Jesus won a rightful and criminal declare to the throne of David. subsequently, through virgin delivery, Jesus grew to grow to be the only one in Israel qualified to take a seat down on David's throne, and continues to be with the intention to this present day.

the bible is too ridiculous to take seriously in the first place so it is not even worth asking questions to highlight all the lunacy contained in it
