Just a note that I’m back after a week of conferences. Among the organizations holding meetings this past week were the Society of Biblical Literature (SBL), the Near East Archaeological Society (NEAS), the American Schools of Oriental Research (ASOR), the Institute for Biblical Research (IBR), and the Evangelical Theological Society (ETS). Then Thanksgiving was upon us (hope you all enjoyed the day). I’ll soon get back to blogging.
Back from the Annual Conferences, Soon Back to Normal
just watched..genesis and creation 1:1…don’t really know what to say.
1,what bible should i have?
2,may i ask are you jewish?
3,any plans to debate young earth creationist…would make good veiwing?…
4,is genesis 1-11 a reason why jewish folks refuse christ?
in order:
1 – http://michaelsheiser.com/TheNakedBible/bible-versions/
2 – No; just love the Hebrew Bible
3 – no; a waste of time; they marry their view of this to their entire faith and even the existence of God, so nothing you say will matter.
4 – don’t follow – ??
to, msh
q4,genesis 1 is it theological and poetic?
would this then indicate why the jewish people do not see jesus as GOD.because jesus would not be the GOD of the old testament if genesis is pure theological/poetical.?…..
i dont wanna get to bogged down trying to explain as i am no scolar ok.
it is just how i am trying to understand how you interperated genesis 1.
Gen 1 is about theological messaging. On the other, you need to start becoming acquainted with the OT evidence for a binitarian godhead (the subject of my dissertation). See http://www.twopowersinheaven.com.
