Good stuff, thanks for sharing.

Romans 3:20-8:39 - the very heart of the doctrine and faith of our fellowship in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, grace being the essence of God's work and our blessing.

Hey, just a goofy trivia thing... According to my calculations Noah, Abraham's great to-the-nth-power grandfather, Noah, was still alive and died in the first part of Abraham’s life. Hundreds of years after the great flood, Abraham could talk to Noah about it. Fascinating.

The non-biblical Book of Jasher records that Abram knew Adonai at a young age. He was born into a country of idolatry, his father was one, but Abram tried to change his fathers views, breaking the family idols with a hammer. Jasher, mentioned twice by the Bible, claims Abram lived for many years in the house of Noah and Shem. Shem was the person living longer than anyone else after the flood. Shem was on the earth with Abram, Issac and Joseph. My bet is that he knew them (tabernacled with them), being their blood great-great-great-great...grandfather.

Note, that most timelines would have Noah dead a score or more years before Abram, but I’m not so sure that the Upright Record isn’t right...

FYI
