Yes, Jan, that is exactly what it states. The Bible makes a "big fuss"
about the arrival of Israel and his sons in Egypt. I am in full
agreement with you here.
>but I must say, that your reading of the Bible is strange.
This needed to be said.
Mike is largely correct with his Bible chronology.
He writes, among other things
>You better red Gal. 3:17 again.
Mike, you need to do a much better job of taking context into
consideration. 3 out of 3 (haven't checked my fourth yet) Bible
commentaries have backed the 430 years being time in Egypt.
A recent post mentioned how silly Bible inerrancy can be if we
are just going to butcher interpretation.
Stick with Bible chronology disproving YEC. Leave the "numbers
games" to the lottery people. While I'm writing, Bible chronology
also disproves any creation theories placing Adam before 5,000-4,000 BC.
How about using your considerable skills and intellect to push
non-Biblical interpretations off the cliff (or into outer space) where
they belong?
