Bible Discussion Thread

 
  • Mishael on Matthew 24:38 - 5 years ago
    I've been looking at the Dakes bible tonight. Found a lot of comment about pre-Adamic world. Gotta go get a page enlarger so I can read!

    Saw a lot of comment on Antichrist; with scripture. Will be tedious to read all that.

    Where is exactly the boundaries of Moab?

    I only read the comments with scriptures. What do you think about the Dakes?

    Can't say that I know much about the Dakes Bible (by Finis Dake), though I used to sell it when giving some help in a Christian bookstore in the '80s. Many, particularly pastors, seemed to want it for its many references, though others expressed some concern. Dake was an evangelical Pentecostal minister, though had a chequered history in his earlier years. I actually use Charles C. Ryrie's Study Bible (Dallas Theo. Seminary), which has been a great blessing over my 41 yrs as a believer.

    I had to research "Moab". Wikipedia gives a good account of it if for nothing else, to get you started into further research.

    Thanks for the info. I had heard things about the Dakes, but like you said the lists are helpful. When you search historical events, are there reliable websites to go to?

    Of course, like anything published on the Web, even from books I suppose, one needs to examine & accept the information given prudently. Thus my suggestion to do other research besides Wikipedia. Though, as you may have found out, that Wikipedia does give quite a good narrative on Moab's history which I couldn't easily fault.
