Where did the Egyptians come from ?

You said I said the following three things:#1 Verses in the Bible support ES
#2 Verses in the Bible contradict #1
#3 No verses in the Bible contradictObviously those three statements contradict each other, but I never said #2. So yes, you are definitely misreading.

uhhh.... you mean like the notes of the people who actually did the editing? We have those, in some cases.

Pay attention to word choice. If you're going to say the Bible has overwhelming evidence of extensive editing: Define your Terms and show Evidence; not generalizations. "We have notes in some cases," is very obscure and could mean anything.David

OK.Back in post #96 you stated:

All verses fit with Eternal Security. Many verses do not fit with maintaining or losing salvation.

I responded with: [quote] Many verses do not fit with maintaining one's salvation. This implies that some verses DO NOT FIT, but are nonetheless present?[/b][/quote]To which I got no denial, so I assumed that the statement was acceptable. Hence, a contradiction. So the fair question becomes, are there any verses which support an alternate interpretation?

You are right. I have been working long hours and have not been citing sources as I should.A very interesting source concerning the KJV is this: Tegart.com is available at DomainMarket.com. Call 888-694-6735You'll note such things as "Many times, the KJV-translators translated from the 'qere' (the marginal note in the Masoretic text) rather than the 'ketic' (the actual text itself).Also note that the site is a Christian site, the author arguing not that the Bible is false but that it has been sloppily translated.Another one concerning the KJV: No webpage found at provided URL: http://www.bible.ca/b-kjv-only.htmOr this on the Masoretic text: No webpage found at provided URL: http://www.geocities.com/jim_bowery/elohim.html------------------

This is not exactly about where the Egyptians came from, but it is associated because it calls into question the 4004 BCE date. I am wondering if a creationist can come up with an explanation of how animals came to be domesticated since the physical evidence says that happened before the Egyptians built the pyramids and before 4004 BCE. Nothing about how goats, for example, were domesticated is mentioned in the Bible. There are many references to obtaining their blood for various purposes, burning them in sacrifice, eating them, trading them for wives, etc., but nothing about how men came to be goat herders or goats became domesticated.
http://etext.virginia.edu/etcbin/kjv2www?specfile=/texts/...So, according to the bible, goats came into being already domesticated and people came into being already knowing how to use goats. How does the mystical approach explain this?

I'm not a creationist, but I think in the Bible God
created the domesticated animals for Adam, and sent them
to Eden for naming.One can only presume that he also supplied technical manuals

Thanks. I hope your response gave others a hearty laugh, too![This message has been edited by axial soliton, 09-05-2002]
