23 And he made the Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.

1 Kings 7:23 (New King James Version)

I don't think I can do this cause of pi being 3.14.

I think my Bible might be broke cause if God wants me to build his temple I can't use the literal interpretation here of how to build a building using pi as 3 cause it isn't.

Heh, whats that Bible say about evolution vs creationism, is it possible that too is a metaphor!?!?

Oh I did not know that God said pi equals 3. That is science and science and the Bible have not ever gotten along. Science works to undo the words of God not support it. According to my Bible 20 cubits is about 30 feet. I do not know of anypalce that God discusses evolution. He talks only of all the creations He created and sicne He created everything why would He even mention evolution. If you have a broken Bible may I suggest you go to minister to get it fixed.

i believe in God yet i do no longer think of technology is misguided. i think of they have made errors, yet with each and every thing - you're making errors. remember whilst wellbeing care expert's theory smoking cigarettes exchange into stable to your wellbeing? i believe that the massive bang could have surpassed off and the scientists at the instant are attempting to recreate the massive bang. Google seek CERN large Hadron Collider. All we are able to do is seek for solutions and discover information... that takes time and attempt. Even the Bible says "God created Adam (or guy) from the dirt of the floor". and that i believe that the scientific learn performed with the aid of the years have shown some robust sturdy information. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, I do believe in God, that none of this could be devoid of the hand of a greater physically powerful ability. I requested a question on right here the day in the previous immediately i think of it exchange into and somebody reported "i'm no longer able to image and all effectual God sitting around twiddling his thumbs and then come to a decision to create us"... My opinion... we are able to't be so conceited to think of we are the only ones... i think of God has created many different places, galaxies, universes. The Bible says we've become a spectical... a spectical to whom? We have been those created in His image, we've been very particular, yet we screwed up. that's my opinion. technology isn't incorrect... i think of that's the way God made it ensue.

Weeeeelll, since a cubit is measured from the elbow to the fingertip, and since that distance changes from moment to moment depending on muscle tone, temperature, blood pressure, etc, I'm not certain that 0.14 cubits really means much. Especially if that 'sea' had a few indents in it.

You really have no clue what 'inspired' means, do you?

Just like Pi does not equal to 3, I have a great deal of problem dealing with the fact that God only created Adam and Eve. So how did we get here?....perhaps the children of Adam and Eve produce the off springs? Then the entire human race became the product of perpetual incest.......God forbid. The Pope has got to do a better job of explaining this. Until then.....Darwin, where are you?

I don't know. But I am sure you are a religious bigot.
I guess you enjoy trying to show the metaphorical portions of the bible, as if only you ever had this original thought in your head and we Christians are too child like to understand. Have you ever thought that you may be wrong or is your head to big for examining yourself?

When it was describing how the temple should be built was for Solomon to build. For those of today's world it gives us a bigger pictures of how awesome the temple looked, and another way to show us that with so much detail it can't be just a made up story.

Oh shut up. Mathematics was different at those times compared to our modern times. Even the Math that Romans use isn't exactly the same as today. Math evolves to you know. Some things we adapt, others change.

Modern mathematicians "improved" it and made it more complicated, and change the name and theorems of certain numbers and operations.

Okay, if you've "Dabbled" in with "Scientology" than , you'll most likely, be a "Skeptic" no matter, what we, "Christians" have to say.. Okay, regarding your questions, if you ask Our Heavenly Father, to fill you with his "Holy-Spirit" , then the Holy-Spirit, will then interpet, what the bible, really is all about, and then you will understand it better........The bible also says, for us to be "Specific" in our prayers.......So, you would then say: Our Heavenly Father, Thank-You for this bible, (He loves praise & Thank-you's) but, Father I have a problem, understanding it...Please open my heart & mind, to better understand, everthing I'm reading, and if you can interpet, it all too my heart, for it to all take on, new meaning within my heart.......Or say, what your heart is guiding you too say..........Also, you have to take into consideration, that this book was written a Thousand, or two years ago, and their definition, of measurements, may have been very different than, "Our measurements" today, you know ........ And, besides, all that we're talking about men, who wrote the Good Book , writing it while residing in the Middle East........So, their whole concept of measurements, have to be a bit different than ours, they lived in the Middle East, and probably did things differently than, we, did in those days........I dont think God wants you to follow Old School ways to build a "Temple" but to allow the Holy-Spirit, to guide your Steps, the bible says, for us to do......God knows times are much more Modern now, and He's not going to hold it against you, should you do things the "Modern-Way" dont be so hard on yourself..... Or the bible for that reason.....If this is all so frustrating , for you, you definately need to get filled-with the Holy spirit, so He can interpet, everything to you, better!!! I was Just like you, when I first got "Saved", I'd read the bible, and none of it, seemed to make any sense, to me........Until, a fellow-Christian, friend of mine, said tell God, what your feeling.......And be specific, and ask him to fill, you with the Holy-Spirit, first, then tell him, how "Frustrated" His Word, is making you, and how you want Better Understanding of His word.......And when I did that, it was like a whole "New World" had Opened up, to me, I just cannot describe how, much that bible took on New-Meaning , for me.........I couldn't set it down, after I prayed that prayer, it just literally fascinated, me, after that point, to where, I was just literally hungry for Gods word !!! It just became, this Awesome Book , from that point on........And I felt as though I went with alot of those people, through, their experiences, with them, it was so "Awesome" from that day, on.......God Help This Man, To Better Understand, your word, and To Better know you, open up HIs heart & mind, to all the Real meaning behind this book.........In Jesus Name I Pray, Amen,........ God-Speed, to you, friend........
