........shows weak astro knowledge consistent with thelimitations of that era:

According to the Genesis creation account, the Earth was formed before the Sun. Aside from bio-mechanical problems, this flatly contradicts the nebular hypothesis of stellar formation, in which planets form in the accretion disk created by a young star.

When the Sun, moon, and stars are introduced in Genesis 1:16, they are said to be "made", which, in the original Hebrew language, is different from the word "create" used in Genesis 1:1. If this is the case, then it could be argued that the Sun and moon were created in 1:1 as part of the collective "heavens" (compare, for example, the summary given in Genesis 2:4), and only in Genesis 1:16 (day 4 in the creative period) are they fully visible from Earth's surface.

The creation of the sun, moon, and stars on day four ......

Psalm 19:7-14 King James Version (KJV)

7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.

10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

12 Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults.

13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

Daniel's account of Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar is historically inaccurate; Nebuchadnezzar was never mad. Belshazzar, whom he says was king, was never king, but only regent. Belshazzar was not the son of Nebuchadnezzar, but of Nabo-nidus. Babylon was not conquered by Darius the Mede, but by Cyrus the Great, in 539 BC (Dan 5:31). Darius the Mede is unknown to history.

Wonderful Grace of Jesus
Cathedral Quartet

Wonderful Grace of Jesus, greater than all my sin;
How shall my tongue describe it,
Where shall its praise begin?
Taking away my burden, setting my spirit free;
O the Wonderful Grace of Jesus reaches me!

Wonderful the matchless Grace of Jesus,
the matchless Grace of Jesus,
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea;

Wonderful Grace, all sufficient for me, for even
Higher than the mountain, sparkling like a fountain,
All sufficient Grace for even me.
Broader than the scope of my transgressions,

Greater far than all my sin and shame
my sin and shame,

PRAISE HIS NAME!
Wonderful Grace of Jesus, reaching to all the lost;

. Seed must "die" before it grows (John 12:24, 1 Cor 15:36).

CORRECT

VERILY VERILY I SAY UNTO THEE

EXCEPT A CORN OF WHEAT FALL INTO THE GROUND AND DIE IT ABIDES ALONE

BUT IF IT DIES IT BRINGS FORTH MUCH FRUIT

A SEED ON ITS OWN REMAINS A SEED

A SEED THAT FALLS INTO THE EARTH AND DIE (BURIED) AND GERMINATES

THEN ONLY NEW LIFE CAN SPRING UP

THIS IS A TYPE OF JESUS CHRIST

JESUS IS THE SEED THAT FALLS INTO THE GROUND AND DIED ON GOOD FRIDAY

HE WAS BURIED FOR 3 DAYS TILL EASTER

ON EASTER DAY JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD AND ASCEND TO HEAVEN

STAGE ONE = SEED FALLS INTO THE GROUND

STAGE TWO = SEED WAS BURIED

STAGE THREE = SEED SPRINGS INTO NEW SHOOT OF LIFE AS TYPIFIED BY THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST FROM THE DEAD

STAGE FOUR = THE PLANT GROWS UPWARDS (ASCENDSION OF JESUS TO HEAVEN)

STAGE FIVE = FINALLY THE NEW PLANT BEARS SEEDS AND BENDING DOWN LIKE FULL RICE GRAIN FOR HARVEST

SO ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST 3 THOUSAND JEWS WERE CONVERTED IN JERUSALEM TO FORM THE 1ST CHRISTIAN CHURCH

in my humble opinion, the apparent factual mistakes in certain statements,recorded could be due to :
1) human issues, as man's understanding & knowledge then is different in the past
2 does not detract from the fact that GOD was with man in history,as recorded in the various Holy Books
3) God is the divinr creator n sustainer of all life
4) Science itself has made changes thru time, as more new evidence come to light, eg is light a wave or a photon ?
5) what is key is GOD is real and HE has spoken/reveal himself to man thru out history

Between about 4,000 to 15,000 years ago, numerous radical transitions occurred in many populations. Humans started to domesticate plants and animals. They developed, along with agriculture, substantial food storage capacities and technologies. Concepts of property and inequality emerged. Towns and, eventually, cities grew. All of this led to the formation of multi-community settlements with stratified political and economic structures. This restructuring profoundly shaped, and was shaped by, belief systems. Toward the end of this period—by 4,000 to 8,000 years ago—we see clear evidence of formal religious institutions: monuments, gathering places, sanctuaries, and altars.
