@levitate what if days in the Bible could stand for millions or billions of years? Like in Genesis 7 days could mean billions of years. It could be a mistranslation.

Because Yîsra'él is still in exile.in present day, why are the jews scattered?@Koichos
The second group of 14 omits the names of four Y'hûdi kings: Ahaz'yahu (#7), Yo'ash (#8) and Amatz'yahu (#9) between No. 6 & No. 7, because 'Jehoram' is 'Uzziah's great-great-grandfather, not father; and Y'hoyakîm (#17) between No. 13 & No. 14, because 'Josiah' (which ought to read #16) is 'Jeconiah's (#18) grandfather, not father.I was always confused as to why in the genealogy of Jesus there are two Jacobs and one Joseph
It appears to me that the reason for Matthew's trumped-up genealogy is that, in Hebrew esoteric tradition, God performed the Works of Creation by means of His שם בן מ״ב אותיות (His mystical 'forty-two-lettered Name'), and I suspect this motivated the author to pretend that Yushkeh was the 42nd 'generation' from Avraham Avînu.

As far as the flood thing, every group has a flood myth as well as a creation myth. As it pertains to Judeo-christians, the capricious nature of the Tigris and Eurphrates rivers as well as the Black sea led to the Noah story.
now that is fascinating
you know not to pull a @DoubleClutch but why are the "longer" names of God considered more significant than his established name given to Moses at Sinai?
when you say Israel is in exile, are you not counting the creation of the Israeli nation-state in the middle east?
@Marks @010101 I gave Jahangirs shield "exile" to another character recently. Instead, he has "Alma Negra"Von Neumann universe - Wikipedia

nah I havent watched those videos and don't intend to anytime soon. I believe Jesus was a real man
what exactly do I need to convince myself of?
Jesus was a hindu brownman
Jesus was born of the Holy Spirit and the virgin mary. Take mary out of the equation for a second
the holy spirit had a son. Now please dispute the divinity so I can understand what the debate is.
He was raised from the dead
and buried in a place where no man had laid.
He exists with zero documentation about him till hundreds of years later
Where do you get that idea? Letters of Paul making mention of Jesus are dated to 25 years after Jesus's death, the gospels and several other New Testament letters are dated to 30-60 years after Jesus's death, the Jewish historian Josephus wrote about Jesus 60 years after his death, the Roman historian Tacitus wrote about him 85 years after his death, etc.
Sources for the historicity of Jesus - Wikipedia
If you study ancient history, you'll realize those are extremely timely sources compared to what you can find for most historical figures outside of Rome or Athens itself. Do you know of a particular historian writing about Jews in Galilee in the early 1st century who should have mentioned Jesus and didn't?
