didn't noah's friends and neighbors make fun of him for building a boat? if he was building a pyramid i'd imagine everyone would've been involved. but who knows, it should've taken more than one person to build that big boat too.

i don't think you need to bible to back up your theory about the pyramids being functional in some type of cataclysmic event.

It was made of teak wood.

When you want the real story, go to the source. I mean, this isn't really hard to understand.

I have never known anyone able to interpret scripture the way you do.

When I read your ideas it provokes much thought.

I have always liked alternative views such as yours because of the implication of the verse "Those who have eyes to see and ears to hear" this statement tells me that the words and truths being conveyed need expanded means of understanding, rather than the typical way of thinking.

I also like the part that says when you read scripture it becomes "Alive"

Facinating.

Ok...could you list it? The "source" that is, could you let us in? Hank, did you see the article on the material being in question? I've posted it twice now?

Maybe check that out in the op or above, I think.

If you don't mind them inserting things because they can't render a word, thus making the building material a guess at best by the translators who needed to fill in a space, be my guest...they are not worried...they got paid.

I don't know your religious affiliate, but I am as honest as I can be and hope not to offend you.

I get statements like, "It's really quite simple"...all the time, but it really is not quite simple.

You have to understand, the words are not directly translated. They picked words they believed formed the best story. The bible is sold friend. It's not passed out for free with out someone paying. Matter of fact they got tailored bibles, study bibles, gold leafed bibles, Denim bibles, Bibles with day timers, One year study bibles, Devotional bibles, Commentary bibles, Red Letter edition bibles, Big bibles, small bibles, electronic bibles, Neon glowing bibles, Talking bibles....you get my point.

It's not what it was, and if people are willing to look that over, so be it.

Peace

You always bless me so much. Your words always humble me...thank you
