Forgive me, Nang.
I, Patman, have failed the S.V.er's of this thread.
I did not feel the necessity to read AMR's links because I felt if he didn't want to just quote the highlights with links directly on the post, it wasn't worth my time to read.
After all, I just spent hours and hours making the time line, making sure the numbers align, making sure the scriptures agreed. I saw everything work out, and align, I did extra research to make sure I was right. The word "here" just didn't compel me to read it.
But I did, and I let you guys down. I didn't realize I wasn't twisting scripture, the word of God, to your liking.
I should have realized when God said "years", he didn't realllllllly mean years.
I didn't realize that we should drop the words "serve" and "afflict" from the 400 year prophecy.
I should have know that we should uphold the verse about the fourth generation higher than the 400 years, and forget all about the service thing.
I should have ignored Isaac lived in the promise land when I counted, and not counted from Jacob, and I shouldn't have counted right (after all, he did die in Kiryat Arba, thats in Judah, but who am I).
I should have known.
Sorry for being one of those silly christians who takes 400 years to be years and not generations... after all that should have been absurd. I can't believe I was one of the fools to think when God spoke something, that he meant what he said.
This concludes my apology....
afterthought: hmmmm, maybe I misunderstood the term "apologist?"
