Question

Praise be to Allah.

When were the chronicles (1&2) writen?
http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/47877
So, it's written between 450-400 B.C.

When were 1 & 2 kings written?
http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/47873
So, it's written between 620-561 B.C.

Fine, there was at least 100 hundred years between the 2 Chronicles (the first written) and the 2 kings.

Then how would you explaine that in many site the chronicles refere to the book which was not yet being written?

2 Chronicles 27:
7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

2 chronicles 36:
8 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and his abominations which he did, and that which was found in him, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah: and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.

I'm sorry guys for my misunderstanding;

Here are some passages where 1 kings refer to the chronicles:

1 Kings 15:
7 Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

1 Kings 16:
5 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.

Then how could 2 different books refer to eachother although there's at least 100 years between them?

Answer 1

Hate to tell you this, but 450-400 BC came after 620-561 BC....
2000BC___1000BC____0___1000AD____2000AD

Answer 2

The answer is in your question. You state that both Kings were written between 620 and 561 years before the time of Christ. That's what BC means. Then the Chronicles were written much later, 450 to 400 years before the time of Christ.

Therefore, Kings were written a long time before Chronicles. That's why the author of Chronicles can refer to Kings. He'd read it.

Answer 3

Chronicles is referring to Kings, which was written before Chronicles. I think it is obvious that the book had already been written in this reference. You are looking at BC wrong.

BC counts down, not up.

Answer 4

You don't understand. These were all oral tales, repeated generation after generation. There is no rhyme or reason as to when they were written down. The correct chonology is shown because BC dates are smaller as they come closer to the present time.

It doesn't matter anyway; these books are extremely poor guides to living in the 21st century, as is the koran and other stuff passed around by people in civilizations that are long gone.

Why not learn modern negotiation techniques? Why not prepare yourself to deal with the world as it is, instead of pining for a storybook world of so many thousands of years ago?

You get only one life. Don't waste it on drivel.

Answer 5

That's a good question. Remember that some books were written a certain amount of years apart from the event. Some of the books were lost but the books that the Lord Almighty, included the books He wanted in His powerful, living Word.

Answer 6

There is no religion that can stand up under even mild scrutiny.
You have to take whatever belief you're following at face value. Don't ask questions, or look for any evidence or proof, there isn't any, except what some superstitious guys scribbled two thousand years ago.
Of course, that doesn't apply to the koran. It came right down from the heavens, hand delivered by Angel Gabriel himself. Talk about wild stories.
Our scientists can see trillions of miles into space, no paradise yet - - you have to keep going. This Gabriel freak ( part human and part bird ) "flew" down with the koran. Now there's one that you can believe, if you make your home in the coo-coo's nest.
Allahu akbar - - pisse be onto him

Answer 7

Good question
To mikelf77: Jesus says the poor will always be with you...sounds like an opportunity to get off your soapbox and feed them yourself
Since I'm neitherr Muslim or Christian, I do want to say, there are plenty of contradictions in the Bible :-)

Answer 8

Not to be a jerk but who cares. Its all bs in my humble opinion and Jesus is not a lord a Savior why don't you worry about the 3 billion people who are living in poverty. Yes half the world its true.

Answer 9

So debunking Christianity makes your religion TRUER?

All religions, Islam, Christianity and Judaism are but a crock of horseshit.
