How could he study and teach the Bible clearly without being familiar with a thing that was so influential in the New Testament church? And then how can the congregation hope to understand these things and be in a position to interpret their Bible well, if they are not told? So, how can a 40 year minister & worker in the Gospel, not know and understand about a thing that possibly 1/2 the books of the New Testament refer to? I continued to describe that in the case of that particular verse, it was not speaking to examining Scripture but to the false teaching and school of thought of Gnosticism, but he would not accept it. Some time ago, I was speaking on the life, resurrection, burial and death of Jesus Christ, and a retired pastor and powerful preacher of the Gospel, who had been in the ministry for 40 years, came to me and reproved me smartly over some fascinating points I made and he mentioned 1Ti 1:4'Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.' I humbly asked him if I was saying anything of a heretical nature in any way, to which he answered"No". In reality, the more relevant we become to our world, the less relevant we're to our world. Too bad it seems, if God's men and women are falling through the cracks'for a lack of knowledge' as long as we're positive and loving to all. Preachers love to give us'moral essays' and'warming affirmations' because supposedly, if we really love people this is what we'll do. Regrettably, a large number of Pastors and teachers in our churches continue to preach superficial, flimsy, light weight, shallow sermons and their congregation scarcely grow in biblical knowledge and understanding. I have since then compiled a Bible timeline chart and shown more visually the dating of men and women and occasions.
Moses existed about five hundred years after Abraham and so it is an impossibility.
In our Bible study years ago, a friend who had been a Christian and worked in the local Church for many years, made this statement,"Yes, but Abraham had the Law and so he understood about." (they weren't referring to the pre-mosaic law) I wonder how many Christians would actually pick up the inaccuracy in this statement.
