True, but that is not the problem with the belief of JW. Jw rejects the sciences of evolution based on their interpretation of Genesis,

ERROR, ERROR, ERROR, get that Greek mythology out of your head, Listen and Learn. Genesis 6:4 "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old...
Hello, nice to chat with you again. :)
Wow. So we went straight from friendly greetings to questioning my integrity. :rolleyes: I didn't say that Jehovah was an accurate pronunciation. I said it was more accurate than Yahweh. And my reason for that is precisely because I am accustomed to...
The difficulty with not accepting the characters of the Bible as historical is that the origins to 'actual' history are removed.
Christianity is rooted in the history of Israel. The history of lsrael is found littered everywhere in documentary and archaeological evidence. Take, for example...
Here is an extended explanation that takes account of Mary and Jeconiah. Note particularly points 5 and 7.
1. The genealogy given in Matthew is the genealogy of Joseph, the reputed father of Jesus, his father in the eyes of the law. The genealogy given in Luke is the genealogy of Mary, the...
No society of the time cared anything about women in lineages. Any lineage that includes Mary is obvious fiction.
Davidic line - Wikipedia
Because Jews have historically believed that the Messiah will be a male-line descendant of David, the lineage of Jesus is sometimes cited as a reason why...
My question was to your extrapolation about the reality of Adam as a foundation of Christianity. As if an allegorical Adam would somehow undermine the existence of Christ.
I know what people believed and believe. Creating man upon the Earth does not mean that a particular method was the one...
Getting it at Luke 3:38 because that ancestry list would have come from the public Jewish temple records.
No one disputed the temple records which ancestry starts at 1Chronicles1:1 through to chapter 9.
The Jews believed according to Deuteronomy 4:32 that God created man upon the earth.
Not all of the Bible is literal as we can read at Revelation 1:1
In Scripture, Adam was related to Jesus thus making Jesus also a real person - Luke 3:38 B
Luke could have gotten his genealogical account, or Jewish ancestral list, from the public temple records.
Public records starting at 1...
Any so-called contradictions are either in translation (Hebrew to English for example) or one's own understanding.
The scriptures are words that have been purified 7 times (Ps 12:6), hardly a recipe for contradictions. God's Word is the only perfect thing in this imperfect world. It fits like a...
actually Bible teaches that Abraham left Canaan at another occasion, too: Genesis 21:34.
So this is what Stephen might have referred to.
There is no need to conjure up "contradictions" in the Bible. It leads to nowhere, I think.

1Chronicles1 is about blood line as is Genesis 11.
No...
Thomas t wrote ….. whenever there is a discrepancy in the genealogies, the real father (as shown in Luke) was not the father according to the blood line in Genesis. So, whenever you find a discrepancy, the real father is different from the biological father.
Nice try by Thomas t, But the...
in my opinion, there are no contradictions here.
The one genealogy refers to the blood line, the other to "real " fathers.
I close relative of mine saw her father (blood line) once in her life.
She said that's not her father. Right.
Book of Jubilees is not Bible.
Which bible are you referring to? The Hebrew bible which states in Genesis 11:12, and 1Chronicles1: 18, that Arpachshad is the father of Shelah, or the Latin Vulgate which is a translation by Jerome, of a Hebrew text that still existed in his day, which says the same, concerning Arpachshad...
First of all, I’m glad to see that you have rejected the Masoretic text which states in Exodus 12: 40, that the Israelites were in the land of Egypt for 430 years to the day, and claim that it cannot be trusted, as the Christian OT translated from Jerome’s Latin Vulgate cannot be trusted also...
@LightofTruth, who is not a JW, asked a simple question of JW's regarding Jesus:
@Deeje, a JW, acknowledged and confirmed it:
@Hockeycowboy, a JW, seems to contradict @Deeje's understanding of Christ:
Deeje seems to contradict @LightofTruth and her fellow JW, HockeyCowboy...
Because the Bible speaks of supernatural events and there are no such experiences in today's world.
I have never met a person who could live 800 years.
The average person cannot corroborate the sensational account of a world wide flood with what is seen in the world today. And having all...
We have a record osgart. Why does the Bible not count as a record, in your opinion? They said we didn't have a record of scores of people they now have to admit existed.
So why do you dismiss the record of Adam and Eve, for which Biblical chronology refers to?
(Genesis 5:1-5) 1 This is the book...
First of all, the Bible spoke of Adam dying only if he ate from the forbidden tree. What would that mean? That he would not die, if he ate not from the forbidden tree.
Second, the Bible there, said nothing about immortality. Rather. it spoke of living for ever.
(Genesis 3:22) . . .in order that...
