True, Yet an ounce of prevention is often worth a # of
some cure therein
The inconvenience of dealing with a potential
catastrophe by maybe well invested in knowing and
responding even if it is inconvenient at the time
Yes no one likes to know it, but isn't it ok to know??

i am reading about Noah grandfather, Methusalah, who was about 360 yo when his grandson Noah was born ( from Lamech who was about 185 yo )
Methusalah and Enoch shared 300 years ,
Methusalah and Noah shared about 500 years of humanity, as Noah was 500 years old when Methusalah died,
And...

Just checking if my math was kosher, lol actually Noah started building the ark when he was about 480 yo. , and it took about 120 years to build. And that means Noah was about 600 years old , and thus shared a good portion of those years in the company of Methusalah. What is interesting about that is Methusalah lived in the times of the last days of Adam (&Eve) Methusalah was born when his father Enoch was Only 35 years old!!! Whether or not people like to read or believe these people did actually live, the truth is their lives are quite real, especially if we understand the fact we did have a deluge in the days of Noah. . (and.......). And , So what you say?? It’s interesting, and very much of a challenge to see things in the perspective of those peoples, hmmm. if this bores any. just ignore this thread, lol |

now , as there is other historical books about Enoch
all we need is a calculator and a thought extraction. lol
Methusalah was about 369- yo when Noah was born(Lamech was about 184 yo)
Hard for me to keep these in line? Hmmm.

Enoch was 35 when Methusalah was born , that would have
made Methusalah about 330 years old when his father Enoch
was translated?
Even If there is a variance of a few years either way , things get
Interesting, as Enoch may have witnessed the birth
of his great grandson Noah. ( or just missed by a few years..)
That makes Enoch naming of Methusalah , have extra
meaning, as the name Methusalah means “ his death shall bring
judgement “ (year of the deluge)
in history we read that Adam annointed Enoch as
Priest (Melchizedek) ( ::which means King of righteousness )
Noah was called a preacher of righteousness, and was
a shadow or type of salvation from the world , via constructing the ark, and
getting in with family, before it was too late.... hmmm

[ But several Geology doctorates believe the evidence Is pointing to a world wide deluge that redistributed the upper crust of the geologic layers in a matter of ~~ 13 months. That is the proper interpretation of the evidence, in our opinion. |

Well it sounds like those 'several Geology doctorates' need to get back to their books. It's not possible for there to be a world wide flood and several disciplines agree. If you need more areas that also refute the possibility of a world wide flood just let me know and I'll get you the information.

So you do have the vast majority of the scoffers on your side. wonder what they said when the door was closed on the ark?? 🌈🌈 |

And, do you really think that there were no other boats for their regional flood? There are a lot of people that lived through that regional flood and never even knew it happened. How do you explain that? |

the Bible is quite clear , imo, about God/god/gods
it’s simply a matter of priorities. where so ever your
hearts affection(s) reside, there lies your God/gods.., etc
The distinction of the capital G , distinguishes, the god of gods ,
as the Supreme God, above all other gods, according to
Hebraic teachings. (Bible)

lig comes from Latin root word, which means “to tie, to bind”.
In other words , as we define a word, we bind/tie these
Constructs. (word ties to definition)
what do we “lig” our personal “ life” to?
we define “life” by what it means to us personally,
Not by what some biologist tells us to bind it to??
Good ...

lig is actually tied to “relativity” ,
As in assessing distinct relationships, between objects
Or words or a series of words, as that form a sentence.
As we learn to read and comprehend what we read,
we bind the words to gether, and we try to understand
what the sence of the sentence is. Binding words/thoughts.
And....we find out how these words “relate” to the whole, it’s own
relativity to the meaning of the whole (word or sentence)

I like to think of “lig” in respect to (to bind)Or (to be bound).
That which we are committed to (bound). As in , I am bound
determined to go to fellowship .
Yes, others may be bound to other sundry duties, as each
Citizen has a unique duty they are paid to do (like their job, employment,
Or just bound to go 🎣 fishing 🎣 !

i did a search for an Old Testament (ancient Hebrew)
word that would be like the modern/English word, “religion”
since “religion” is a contentious word as it is, in current usage.
Hebrew word is the same as our “worship”. And
Certainly is a great synonym.
We worship what we are bonded to (ie: affectionate with)
Hmmmm.. it makes sense to me .

Biblical warning: (sic)
do not fear those that try to take your life,
rather we should fear who will torment in eternity, for
eternity.
Choose whom you wish to fear,
certainly it is best that we fear
displeasing our Creator , and learn to do well, in
Eternal values, virtues , living and loving like we are
sentenced to die tomorrow?!?
sobering thoughts , yet they resonate eternal Hope, faith,
and Joy and peace and Charity

subconsciously, we love many things, people, concepts, etc.
perhaps this is understood by how much we enjoy
such and such, and spend time with what we enjoy
the things, people, concepts that we love “most”, are considered those of
“worthy-ship” ( from where we conceive worship)
Of course just as love has varying degrees , so too the
Objects of our personal reverencing??
