neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies

Do you mean Genesis with it's "endless genealogies"?

And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber: And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:

Not so. The genealogies are not endless, but end with "the last Adam", Jesus Christ the righteous. Get it?

How many wings did *he* have?

One of my favorite Biblical names, BTW.

Full Disclosure: There is also a more obscure Noah besides the one of Ark fame.

A daughter of Zelophehad, mentioned in several times in Numbers.

And the name Zelophehad reminds me of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (in which the BabelFish is used to disprove the existence of God.)

I'm sure you all remember that story. "It proves you exist and so therefore you don't."

HA! I bet you didn't think I could relate it all back to this thread.

Cheers!

There's nothing endless about them.

Not that truth is a virtue with the enemies of God's Word...
