"​​Does most of the Bible have eastern thinking? If yes, how do you translate eastern thinking of the Bible into western thinking?" After thinking about the quotation. The key takeaway is that the Bible is about "shame cultures", something that is now missing in the "western thinking". In Shame cultures, shame and the complementary threat of ostracism is much more powerful. Most lived in small towns that made Shame cultures more powerful. Shame culture places high value on a person's dignity, honor, and reputation, thus it impacts one one family's honor. To understand the Bible better this needs to be understood.

"Roger Ramer​​Actually, there are about 20 different Star Wars spin offs." I think I was clear I was talking about the redemption of Darth Vader, not "Star Wars". It was 6 for the redemption of Darth Vader/Anakin.

Regarding what scriptures support NDE, I don’t know if this gets answered later in the Q & A, but the apostle Paul had a NDE probably when he was stoned and left for dead. Remember he said he didn’t know whether he was “in the body” or not, but he was taken up to the 3rd Heaven and that’s why he could say later that, “eye has not seen, nor ear heard what God has prepared for those who love Him.”

Incredible teaching by Dr Hugh Ross. Thank God for this man to exist.

Thank you.

🌹Wow! What an awesome program. Thank you Ross! It definitely boosts our hope, strengthens our faith, and helps us to love others more.🌹1 Corinthians 15: 55-57 “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.🌹

Blessings. What about visions in a dream vis a vis NDE? And, what about Lazarus’ experience?

Richard Housel​​Richard Housel, Long Island, NY. Abraham is almost a historical figure. He lived to be 175 years old. Have any skeletal remains been found of great longevity. No this too long ago. Only a body prepared like in Egypt lasts this long.

Josh Schlue​​When God says the creation days are “good” YEC often call that perfect. Is that word the same in the Hebrew? Or would another word be used to claim perfection in creation? "was good" טֹ֑וב (to·vv;) 2896a: means to be pleasant, agreeable, good. So no, not perfect.

David Jones​​QUESTION FOR DR. ROSS: Did Ussher's chronology majorly influence the 6000 year creation / young earth paradigm? Do you put any significance on 4000 BC in Bible chronology? Yes, but the current YEC model is more like the early teaching of SDA (Seventh-day Adventist), White and other at that time.

Roger Ramer​​Dr. Ross, How do you respond to those who insist that when a cardinal number is tied to the word "yom," it always means a 24-hour period? This is YEC claim, it is not in the Bible. In this video, Hugh tells how the Bible teaches clearly that day 7 is long and continues today. See Hebrews 4:9-11

Lennox's holds the framework view. Hugh does not hold the framework view. Framework view holds Gen. 1 presents a symbolic, rather than literal presentation of creation. With the correct frame of reference and looking at all creation text in the Bible, Gen. 1 can and is a literal presentation of creation.

"Tinny W​​The Apostle Paul talks about salvation by works alone, how do we reconcile this with Jesus's parables that seem to emphasize righteousness for salvation?" Where do you see Jesus' teaching works? The thief on the cross did no good works and Jesus said: 43 Jesus answered him, “What I’m about to tell you is true. Today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43 John 11:25-26 I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Matthew 20:1-16 NIV - The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard - “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his. More work did not matter. As it by grace. Matthew 23:23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices-mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law-justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. Matthew 9:12-13 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’[a] For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

"heterodox" not conforming with accepted or orthodox standards or beliefs." In the past, some in the church held that the Earth was flat, and some in the church claimed the Earth was the center of the solar system. They did this misreading the Bilbe. So orthodox standards or beliefs, should be about faith in Jesus not something about Earth. The age of the Earth is not an orthodox standards or beliefs. The Bible does not teach the Earth is 6,000 years old. So those that teach a 6,000 year Earth are not "orthodox standards or beliefs", they just claim it is, when it is not.

Chekideh چکیده​​Regarding bible genealogy, Genesis 5:3-32 locks one name after the other by numerical value. Adam to Shem and continues in Genesis 12:10-26 from Shem to Abraham. What do you think? There are about 25 genealogical lists in the Bible. The fact that they do not match shows these can not be used to date the origins of mankind. These genealogies show how God protected his covenant people through the centuries. Also that men and women with faith of any background can enter heaven.

Roger Ramer​​Dr. Ross, Would it be accurate to infer that the sea creatures would have survived said flood? Yes the flood did not change the sea. The Flood was in the Mesopotamia Valley before mankind moved out to other parts of the earth around 40,000 to 50,000 years ago.

Gen8:9 But the dove could find nowhere to perch because there was water over all the surface of the earth; so it returned to Noah in the ark. He reached out his hand and took the dove and brought it back to himself in the ark. This is told from the frame of reference of the Dove. The Dove could not see any land, thus came back to the ark. Doves are not high flyers, Dove could only see water. To the Dove the surface of the earth was covered.

Terrylb​​Dr Ross , according to YEC,if thorns didn’t grow till after Adam sinned . Should they have stopped growing in Genesis 8:21 when God says ,I will no longer curse the ground Gen 3:17 Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.” It is not clear if thorns and thistles started then or if there were just more in his crops. My guess is that there were just more in tis crops.

Theia collided with the early Earth around 4.5 billion years ago. This is too early for any life forms. The origin of life on Earth was about 4.3 billion years ago. This was as soon as Earth was cool enough for life.

Ps 104:5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. God laid the foundations of the earth. Opens with Lord my God, you are very great; you are clothed with splendor and majesty. God is the creator of all.

Frank McInnis ​​of sub-Saharan Africa?Wouldn’t this suggest that humans originated in Africa and not the Middle East? Could the flood have taken place in Africa? There is a major error in this claim. You can not use today's map to talk about an event about 100,000 years ago. Mankind shows up during the ice age. At this time there was no water between Africa and the Middle East. The seas were over 300 lower. So this Africa - Middle East claim is not correct.

Tinny W ​​Hi Dr. Ross, in 'Beyond the Cosmos' you reconcile free will with predestination with 2 dimensional time. I had trouble understanding it, could you break down how you reconcile the two? Free will and predestination is Paradoxes. On the reason the class is called Paradoxes. Paradoxes looks like a self-contradictory. But by looking at the problem from a different view or with more info, it is not contradictory. If you understand that God is extra-dimensional, that is He has more dimensions of time and space than we have. We have three space and one time dimension. With extra space and time dimensional Free will and predestination can both be true and are not a contradiction.

Richard Housel ​​Richard Housel, Long Island, NY. How do we explain the longevity of the antedeluvians? When did it happen as per the RTB model? Any possibility of finding fossil humans showing great longevity? Finding a fossil this old as not happen, as the population was very low at this time and the fossil would be turned back into soil due to the long time span. Hugh- RTB has a few models for long lifespan pre-flood: mutations, diet, change in Telomerase, Vela Supernovam. Could be one or all of these or none. Exactly how God altered human life spans no one knows. (Note we have found whales that live 200 years, and a clam that was 600 years old. so long life spans are still on Earth.)

Side note, I love how Wokipedia has to put a note on CC here. I'm both chucking & rubbing my forehead.

I’d love to join days of prayer and fasting on zoom. Is this still available? If so please let me know how / where to join in.

I wonder what his theory on the flood is about?

Dr Ross @ 1 hour. There are now TH-cam channels that rally those together that have been offended by Christians. Their pain brings them together. Knowing the Bible and knowing the people were at fault they blame Christ anyway! Almost like an apostate church. They don't appear to be for anything. Only against Christ, Christians and church. I found listening to them quite sad. I didn't have any words for them. There were so many, I'm literally not equipped. I don't even know what compels me to write this. Thanks for sharing all your thoughts Dr

Thank you.

This gentleman is a Christian. Not because he says he is. But because the presence of Jesus is with him. _You can see it._ How often does one say "I am a Christian", yet Christ is not with them. Look with your eye of light. I see this frequently with Catholic priests. They are like the Pharisees, concerned with the outer appearance of the cup; but the inside is filthy. The true church is in your heart -- the alter is within. When one has a real relationship with Christ, it is visible in their energy field. Gnostic Christians referred to this as the _Robe of Light._ 29:55 God did not put you into a world of sin. You put yourself there. The Holy Spirit rescues you, and returns you to your rightful place in Heaven. If God put his Son into a world of sin, he would be evil. God is not evil, and he didn't put us in this world. Why else do we say, "Lord YOUR will not mine"? These important distinctions are given in A Course In Miracles, the book Jesus Christ wrote through a scribe, published in 1975. "I have much to say to you all, but you cannot bear it now. But a time is coming when I will speak plainly to you." -- Gospel of John. See The Ra Material for a greater understanding of what is occurring at this time, namely, the Harvest. The Harvest that Jesus spoke about so often. Can you say you explicitly understand what it is? I understand many of you are not willing to turn away from the Bible towards any other texts. Just trying to offer some context, so you can understand better. _Adonai_

That was one of the best lectures I've ever listened to on the flood of Noah. 👏👏👏👏

At 35:21 or so, did I hear Dr. Ross say that everyone agrees that Noah lived more than 800,000 years ago?

I asked a question on California's duck curve during your 05/19/2024 class [52 minutes and 52 seconds] and the person answering the question did not know what California's duck curve is. The US EIA [Energy Information Administration] published an article call, "As solar capacity grows, duck curves are getting deeper in California", on June 21, 2023. You can lookup the article in your favorite search engine. From your personal experience, how has the duck curve affected the reliability of California's electricity in your area? Since you brought up the issue of out of state electrical generation for southern California, what is the real carbon intensity of California's electrical grid when out of state electricity is added in? Electricity Maps website has CAISO [California] carbon intensity as 326 grams of CO2(eq)/kWh. At the same time, France has a carbon intensity of 18 grams of CO2/kWh as of 4:39 AM CT 07/25/2024.

Men should not rebuked women or vice versa, there despite or worships you and God don't want you doing that

Thank you.

Luke 24:39 Look at My hands and My feet. It is I Myself. Touch Me and see-for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.” Since our resurrected bodies will be like that of Jesus, will our bodies be without blood?

Flat earth!? What century are we living in ! wow!!!

Hugh, does your new book on the flood address Richard Fischer's book, "Historical Genesis: from Adam to Abraham"?

Hi Dr. Ross! Happy Sunday from BC.

Thank you.

Is this 11:00 EST?
