Jude 1:14-25

14 Now Enoch, who lived seven generations after Adam, prophesied about these people. He said,

Gen.5:3-18

Adam-->Seth--> Enos--> Cainan---> Mahalaleel---> Jared--> Enoch.

Luke

3:37

..which was the son of Enoch, which was the son of Jared, which was the son of Maleleel, which was the son of Cainan,

3:38

Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

Hey, I count only 6 generations after Adam not 7. Which is it??

>This leaves little doubt that Jesus' half-brother Jude believed Adam was a real person.<

It also leaves little doubt that Jude wasn't an authority on the subject.

"Look, the Lord is coming with thousands of his holy ones.

Or the KJV

"Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,"

So which is it, 1000s or 10000s? Holy ones or saints?

Not that it matters since Jude doesn't even know the difference between 6 and 7 I'm sure he doesn't know what 1000s are

A PhD. had a flat tire. When he removed the flat he placed the lug nuts in the hub cap. While leveraging the spare into place he bumped the hub cap and spilled the 4 lug nuts down a storm drain. He could not reach the fallen lugs down the deep drain. As the PhD. was sitting with head in hands, trying to come up with contingencies for retrieving the lugs, a Christian happened by. Seeing the sadness of the Prof he questioned him about his dilemma.

Looking at the drain and seeing that there was no manhole cover nearby, the Christian quickly reasoned that the best course of action was to remove a single lug nut from the other three tires to use with the spare. Then drive to an auto-supply store to replace the four missing lugs.

1 Adam-->2 Seth-->3 Enos-->4 Cainan--->5 Mahalaleel--->6 Jared-->7 Enoch.

Adam is the first generation. Enoch is the seventh generation after Adam's.

Hope this helps.

hey, newsflash! as stated before, the geneology list is NOT exhaustive!

also, the same translation error can occur here as well as "days= period of time"

1000 or 10,000, the idea is "large number"

and a "saint" is one who is deemed holy, so where your discrepancy there is, im lost.

also, to balrog (the irreverant)

evolutionists state we all came from one cell that split. these means we are all related either way. deal with it.
