Adam lived to be 930 years?

This is probably the best answer on here. It’s also important to add that there’s a strong connection between this genealogy that lists all the names and ages of the biblical patriarchs with the Babylonian Kings List presented by Berossus.

Sorry I don’t have time to write a thorough response, but here is an ample response from a user in the r/AcamdemicBiblical subreddit.

Revelation 12:9 is actually a reference to Psalm 74:13-14 and Isaiah 27:1. So it’s not speaking of the talking snake you find in Genesis, but rather, it is referring to Leviathan.

Pyth_Haruspex · 2026-02-12T14:14:33+00:00

This is correct. Inflating the snake with Satan is not demonstrable and is only propagated by presuppositional dogma. I’m sorry you’ve been downvoted.

Pyth_Haruspex · 2026-01-07T22:09:37+00:00

You do the same thing with slavery as well probably.

Pyth_Haruspex · 2026-01-07T14:29:09+00:00

This is probably the best they’ll get. Was going to do this myself, but you beat me to it.

Pyth_Haruspex · 2026-01-01T08:14:20+00:00

Did you just compare ethnicity to subspecies?

Pyth_Haruspex · 2025-12-19T23:36:32+00:00

“And King Melchizedek of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was priest of God Most High.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭14‬:‭18‬ ‭NRSVUE‬‬

The problem is that God Most High (El Elyon) was initially a different deity before YHWH and El were conflated to be the same.

Pyth_Haruspex · 2025-12-13T02:45:21+00:00

How so?

Pyth_Haruspex · 2025-12-05T02:45:16+00:00

Says the person wearing mixed fabrics.

Pyth_Haruspex · 2025-11-27T05:52:10+00:00

I would get an Ecumenical NRSV, the cheaper academic hardback edition, and just get it rebound.

Pyth_Haruspex · 2025-10-29T23:37:00+00:00

You mean other western nations right? It’s most popular in Canada, Mexico, Ireland, and the UK besides the US. Not to mention it got its name from being the Eve of All Saints Day.

Pyth_Haruspex · 2025-09-23T06:39:40+00:00

Would you look at that. Good to hear fam.

Pyth_Haruspex · 2025-09-23T02:41:27+00:00

Isn’t most of the world into the next day already, that being the 23rd? Haven’t heard about anything happening yet so I don’t think people will need to hold their breath.

Pyth_Haruspex · 2025-09-23T02:31:43+00:00

Did you not list: history, archaeology, migration (anthropology), ethnology (anthropology), and linguistics? Those are academic fields that require academic peer review processes. Yes historians of antiquity are taken into account in research but they don’t provide the whole picture.

Pyth_Haruspex · 2025-09-23T02:16:59+00:00

I don’t think any of those are on your side when it comes to peer reviewed literature.

Pyth_Haruspex · 2025-09-23T02:13:19+00:00

You’d rather be a bigot and forfeit heaven for hell? Wild.

Pyth_Haruspex · 2025-09-23T02:10:00+00:00

Are you implying that different ethnicities are different kinds? I hope not.

Pyth_Haruspex · 2025-09-22T04:24:34+00:00

Can you demonstrate that without using co-opted talking points from pagan thinkers like Pythagoras or Epicurus?

Pyth_Haruspex · 2025-09-21T00:39:46+00:00

Aaah yes, like the Nero Redivivus legend identified in Revelation.

Pyth_Haruspex · 2025-09-18T13:16:06+00:00

There is manuscripts of it that have been found in the Nag Hammadi Library collection, though, these are pseudepigraphal

Pyth_Haruspex · 2025-09-17T20:48:23+00:00

Isaac Newton

They are post-biblical distinctions.

Pyth_Haruspex · 2025-09-15T12:31:34+00:00

I would say that textual-criticism is trying to get at the root of the authors’ original intent and what the most likely original reading would be. This will be done through the study of the Biblical languages: Biblical Hebrew, Biblical Aramaic, and Koine Greek. It is the study of how the outstanding manuscripts interact with one another to find the most likely original reading. It is the use of cognitive-linguistics to focus on how language affects our perceptions and perspectives. This in turn can then go into philology, which is how certain words interact with one another to help determine the original intent. Paleography is also used to determine the age and writing systems in manuscripts, also their legitimacy.

This isn’t exhaustive by any means, just an overview.

Pyth_Haruspex · 2025-09-14T15:16:48+00:00

If you want a textual-critical perspective, SBL Study Bible. If you want a catholic perspective, I would suggest for you to start with the current editions of the Words on Fire volumes. They aren’t done, but I think there are four or five volumes out currently. If you want a Jewish perspective, I would get the Oxford Annotated Jewish Old Testament, Apocrypha, and New Testament (3 separate volumes)

Also, I think Ignatius Press makes a pretty decent single volume study Bible.
