Good question. The context gives a general, but not a specific, answer. Galatians 4:3-10 KJV — Even so we (I think this means "the Jews"), when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman...

Yeah, probably not the only one that's been introduced here.

@rstrats I'm not trying to avoid your question, but it's kind of like Paul told the Galatians. Galatians 4:9 KJV — But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

How do you know there aren't also annual bio-rhythms? Like hibernation?

Right, and I told you:

So, I think you are saying we have the earth that isn't really the earth, the heavens which is more than the heavens. Sound familiar? The "not quite spherical" is due to other bodies that can exert forces or other motion that can affect the shape. If the original earth-size lump has no other...

Ugh! Don't remind me!

Meaning that God controls the sinner's thoughts? That the most evil intentions of man's heart are God's intentions? That His will is already done on earth, and it includes murder, rape, adultery, witchcraft, sodomy, etc.? If so, then we already can't be assured of what the Bible tells us...

Yes, but I'm making a different point. The word "eretz" in Hebrew means either "land" or "whole world" from what I understand. Maybe I should have said "whole world" instead of "globe earth" there. The narrative seems to be introduced as the creation of "the heavens and the earth". I'm not sure...

I'm still not finished replying to your other recent posts, but here's a question for you while you're waiting. Are the following verses speaking of the heaven that is the crust of the earth or the firmament of the heavens (where stars are and on the surface of which birds fly)? Genesis 6:17...

I'm saying that the firmament is outer space. JR can speak for himself just fine, but I believe he's saying that the firmament called "Heaven" (not "the heavens") is really the crust of the earth.

First, I am merely offering an opinion here, because I don't know why Moses write like he wrote, or why the Holy Spirit inspired it like He did. But I think he's trying to show that it has structure. There's a firmament/expanse/places to put things. That there is a spatial limit to it (that's...

We're not necessarily talking about on the globe earth anymore, if the waters are separated by a "firmament" (something that will keep the waters apart). Space divides all kinds of things, like galaxies, that are made of the components of water. I don't think you can make that statement. If the...

This is where God first introduces the word "Heaven" (and it is always given in the plural: "Heavens"). Up until this time, the firmament was being formed (more from absence of material), and when He was done, He gave us the name for it. The same for the earth (dry), that was named when it...

I can understand not knowing how to spell avocado, but spelling it wrong in two different ways in the same meme?

Early Christians were called "atheists", because they didn't acknowledge the Greek/Roman pantheon, or the particular Caesars, as true gods.

. Since the bible defines soul in Gen 2:7 as comprising a body made from the dust plus God's breath, the soul can't be only made of material things.
