Oh come the fukk on. Race has always been around. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out white people are not like you.

Race is a social construct. There is a wider genetic difference between a west and east African than there is between a white European and an Indian yet the former is viewed as the same race whilst the latter is not.

If I told you then you wouldn't believe me anyway. Have a nice day.

how do you know that?

If you don't believe that these things exist then you can continue to live your life in blissful ignorance. There's no need to be so patronising, it comes off as rather distasteful.

I don't see how I patronized you, I repeated what you stated in order to be clear on what you are saying to me

I'm not sure if there's a thread about this already and I'm not sure if this is even in the right section-could whoever is a mod move it to the right section if it is please?

The title is pretty much self explanatory; if you're having a really hard time understanding a certain verse/chapter in the Bible or if you really want to discuss a certain verse/chapter with other people then please feel free to post in here.

Also, do feel free to talk if you're having trouble with your faith in God right now .

It's too bad there isn't more activity in this thread.. Lately I've taken a break from reading about Abraham to examine some of the Psalms. Unrelated, but you got me thinking of the prophecy of seventy sevens in Daniel.

(Daniel 9:20-27) While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel and making my request to the Lord my God for his holy hill— while I was still in prayer, Gabriel, the man I had seen in the earlier vision, came to me in swift flight about the time of the evening sacrifice. He instructed me and said to me, “Daniel, I have now come to give you insight and understanding. As soon as you began to pray, a word went out, which I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed. Therefore, consider the word and understand the vision:

“Seventy ‘sevens are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.

“Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One, the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven. In the middle of the ‘seven he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him.

The passage is clearly pointing to the eventual coming of Jesus. The tricky part is figuring out the math and exactly what each "seven" stands for. Does each one stand for seven years? I'm gonna have to re-read Daniel sometime soon.

It might not be a year as we know it as we are currently following the Roman system, if I'm not mistaken. It could be referring to an age but how does one determine an age? All I know is that only God knows exactly when it'll happen but it is written that Judgement Day will be brought forward due to the amount of sin that is in this world right now. I cannot tell you everything I know but just be prepared for these next few months, as we are already at the beginning of the end.

Leviticus 25:8-10 KJV And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years. [9] Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. [10] And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.

Only in the Judeo-Christian worldview is there a provision to let people go free. If someone was an indentured servant for anywhere from forty nine years to one week they were to be freed.

No other worldview has this provision.

Serious question, did this only refer to the Israelites or did it include foreigners too? Thanks for keeping this on topic btw .

I've got a question too. Was indentured servitude only for those that broke the law?

No. This was for the Israelites but it applied to anyone who resided in the land. I.e. if an Assyrian became an indentured servant for three months to pay off a debt and the Jubilee happened in the second month he was to be freed.

There may have been others living in the land that didn't adhere but not enough information is given about them to fully say.

No. You could enter indentured servitude for a loan, seed money, better education, you want learn a trade or whatever.

I am really having a hard time with the end of the book where there are entire pages missing.

These pages include citations to Canaanite, Phoenician, Hittite, Greek, Sumerian, Kemetic-Kushyte, and many other religions at the time where the stories were based off of.

In modern days, that would be considered plagiarism.

Lol @ pages missing in the bible.

I've started to read from the book of Psalms again and I believe that Psalms chapter 1 is a good guide for Christians of a renewed faith.

Psalms 1:1-end

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
