If you're a scientist, engineer or\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etechnician and you've found it impossible to take the Bible\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eseriously, now you can.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust as we were unable to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003erecognize this calendar as a calendar, the science of the Bible has\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003enot been recognized as science because its' authors spoke in parables\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand riddles. This was a part of the Biblical culture. The book of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProverbs says that it will teach the reader how to understand the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"words of the wise\" which consist of proverbs, riddles and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efigures (puzzles).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand arranging proverbs with great care.\" (Ecc 12:9 RSV)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"My mouth shall\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003espeak wisdom; the meditation of my heart shall be understanding.

(Psa 49:3-4 RSV)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo when Jesus taught\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eusing parables and riddles he was following a tradition that was\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eancient when Solomon was king.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kind of riddle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eextends far beyond the genealogy of Genesis 5. Genesis 1 to 11\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econtains a collection of riddles woven into a single fabric. The\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eriddles continue through the book of Revelation. Once we understand\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethese riddles we discover that the Bible actually contains a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econsistent, workable philosophy that can actually explain the way the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eworld works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sliding Stories, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47024023798000,"sku":"9780983383116","price":41.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780983383116_p0.jpg?v=1763886119","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780983383116","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
