[QUOTE="mark4091"]

[QUOTE="MFaraz_Hayat"]The Biblical description of the flood in Genesis chapter 6, 7 and 8 indicates that the deluge was universal and it destroyed every living thing on earth, except those present with Noah (pbuh) in the ark. The description suggests that the event took place 1656 years after the creation of Adam (pbuh) or 292 years before the birth of Abraham, at a time when Noah (pbuh) was 600 years old. Thus the flood may have occurred in the 21st or 22nd Century B.C. This story of the flood, as given in the Bible, contradicts scientific evidence from archaelogical sources which indicate that the eleventh dynasty in Egypt and the third dynasty in Babylonia were in existence without any break in civilisation and in a manner totally unaffected by any major calamity which may have occurred in the 21st century B.C. This contradicts the Biblical story that the whole world had been immersed in the flood water .Silver_Dragon17

read this one.

The years he mentions are estimates, it is unknown exactly when the Flood occured. Also, the Flood is mentioned in other societies, like the Syrians for example. It is also still not a contradiction in the Bible, but a contradiction between what the Bible says and what MIGHT be history.

So what is the point in arguing? I mean whatever points are presented, no matter how logical, well, those who want to agree will do so. While those who whole-heartedly support Bible would not, no matter what.

Old Testament usage of the term Son of God

It is used of Israel as a nation through the Exodus. Hosea 11:1 says, "When Israel was a youth I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son." It is also used in reference to angels. Job 1:6 says, "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them." Also, in Job 38:7 it says, "When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" These are in reference to angels who are created beings and in no way implies literal dependency from God.

 

How about this? Are they all sons of God.

. . . . . .yes.:|

Isreal is often referred to as God's son/daughter/wife/city/etc.

Angels and humans are also called sons of God, because He is our Heavenly Father.

Jesus is special because He is God in the human flesh.

I'm better with remembering verses meanings; not the verses themselves. I think it's in the book of Matthew.

Notice also how Jesus said "our God", which included him to be under GOD Almighty's creation and Divine Authority, and not someone or an entity that is equal to GOD Almighty

Jesus is both equal and not equal to God. I read about this exact thing, let me go eat and I'll respond.

Legally, I am Christian, but I don't go to church, nor do I pray to God, nor do I do anything religious. I'm not against God or anything, I believe he's there (or some supreme being), but I could care less about it...
