Genesis 5:22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
3 Genesis 5:25 And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech

Wouldn't it be weird if your father was over 800 years old when he pumped the seed into your momma? Over 100 makes it implausible.

Of course it would.

I would also have been weird if my mom had been beguiled by a snake

or

If dad listened to voices in a burning bush. We would have got him some help on that one.

Maybe the Alaskan hears voices in Bushes too.

Pretty good one, Munford, but not the way you spelled it. In the Authorized Version, it's "Methuselah". God knows what your spelling might mean.

Also, an alternative interpretation of the Hebrew is "man of the dart", which I don't much like the sound of.

Methuselah or Metushélach (Hebrew: מְתוּשֶׁלַח / מְתוּשָׁלַח, Standard Mətusélaḥ / Mətusálaḥ Tiberian Məṯûsélaḥ / Məṯûsālaḥ ; "Man of the dart", or alternatively "when he dies/died, it will be sent/has been sent") is the oldest person whose age is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. The name Methuselah has become a general synonym for any living creature of great age.

ARKBLOG your spelling is wrong.

Love the tone, Munford! Keep it up...

Meanwhile, amidst all the "clever" debates about how to spell fictitious Biblical characters, and how "hot" Gov. Palin of Alaska is or is not, is this article from Truthout that presents the facts about "How Republicans Win," by Robert Parry of Consortium News.

"Barack Obama made it across the tightrope of the Democratic National Convention, gaining solid endorsements from Bill and Hillary Clinton and giving a rousing speech before some 80,000 supporters at Invesco Field in Denver. But now comes the time when the Republicans win elections."

I read that the GOP convention may well turn into a humanitarian effort for the storm victims coming up along the coast in a couple of days. Will be interesting to watch.

GOP Convention? Humanitarian effort?
Cognitive dissonance ensues!

It sez in Marvel Comics #141 Deadly Foes of Spiderman that Spidey's earth father Milton was gassed by the Germans in the Argon Forest during WWI and it took many months for him to regain his health. I think that info is on page 17, but you'll have to look to be sure. It don't say jack about seed or old preggers women or turning to salt.

Norma....we cain't do nothing about dumbass. If the majority of the voting sheep fails to see the human misery of the last 8 years and wants a heap of the same, all we can do is stand there and shake our heads. I personally think Obama will win by a landslide if....I say IF we have an election in November.

What it means with the GOP convention on the horizon.....click on Cato

OK.....One finally question. Has Governor Sarah Palin ever seen a black man before?

.

Rec'd a fwd from a Denver delegate on Thurs. Seems the Theme at R convention will be PEACE.
I'm not making this up and the delegate was dead serious.

.

"By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion."

Also, an alternative interpretation of the Hebrew is "man of the dart", which I don't much like the sound of.

This might explain how McCain made his choice: by throwing a dart onto a map.

Via NYT (clicky)

The theme of the Republican convention, "Not Ready '08" (presumably directed at Obama), was established prior to McCain's erratic VP choice. Now that this theme is tinged with more than a little irony, it's no wonder the Republican operatives are scrambling to revise it:

Republican officials said that though they had time to collect surface-level material on Ms. Palin and her husband, they had done no examination of the rest of her family.

Beyond that, Republican organizers said the convention aides in charge of reviewing every speech delivered from the lectern are now on the watch for blunt attacks on Mr. Obama's readiness to lead, and reviewing how much to emphasize what had been the convention theme: "Not Ready '08." They are aware that such criticism in a high-profile setting would provide an opportunity for Democrats to make the same charge against Ms. Palin, who has almost no foreign policy experience and has been governor for just 20 months.

<<<<<

Changing the theme from "not ready '08" to "peace" because the republicans now have the least experienced VP candidate and the most failed experienced P candidate.... while they order police to bust down countless doors of peoples homes without warrants in advance of their own convention in the Twin Cities...They conduct snatch squads.. unmarked police cars snatching people off the streets and taking them to jail...also confiscating cameras and computers of everyone they see... and arresting people who have cardboard in their homes as a terrorist.

Possession of cardboard in your home is enough for Republican police to consider you a terrorist.. now who doesn't have cardboard in their home?

No matter what they call it.. the Republicans are stupid thugs, hell bent on fascism.

Miller wrote this,
God told Enoch to name the baby Methusaleh. And in the Hebrew 'Methusaleh' means, "when he is dead it shall come."

Munford Miller, do you know what came after he died?
The FLOOD, dummy! All but one family was wiped off the face of the earth.

Good post, stangelove.
NORMA those are not fictous names, well not, to anyone who believes in God.
Many of you on here are gonna be tormented in the flames of hell and sooner than you think.

Shouldn't you be out shopping since your holy president and his party told you it's the best way to win the war, chasv?

Is this like the flood that's fixin to hit New Orleans tonight? Will the storm continue up to St. Paul and smite the GOP there? Did God send this storm to wipe all the Republicans off the map? Crazy Christians worry me far more than the flames of hell. Maybe Miss Wasilla can call down an Alaskan polar bear to eat the storm. If she has the faith of a mustard seed it will happen!

dbi grow up you snotty nose liberal.

Chasv...."snotty nose liberal"...and you want him to grow up? You... you... poopy pants reactionary you! I'm gonna telllllllll and you are soooooo in dutch with Dad!
