Bible Riddle...

[Edward]

I have one for you all.

Who is the oldest person in the Bible?

Hint. Don't answer too fast. I threw you a curve.

 

[jasoncran]

not counting melchezidek, I would say methusalah

 

[Edward]

I said don't answer too fast! Methuselah is wrong!

I did throw you a curve ball. Think hard. You are on the right track.

 

[jasoncran]

melchizedek would have to be unless ones want to say the person of Christ which is a philosophical term. the current state of Christ isn't the hyper-static union. but of the eternal that he was before he came to the earth.

 

[Edward]

Melchizedek is wrong. Christ is an incorrect answer to the question I asked also. I threw a curve, but not that big. You're getting colder now and was closer before. There. That should give it away.

 

[jasoncran]

the word?

 

[Edward]

Nope.

A man born a man and not a deity.

 

[jasoncran]

enoch, but well that is debatable.i have done some glancing at the words used for translation in Hebrew. but that is another topic.

 

[Edward]

Is that your final answer? Shall I lock it in?

 

[jasoncran]

of course, enoch was not, for god took him. he didn't die like men do.

 

[Edward]

Enoch was indeed the answer I was looking for. He was born a man had a son, Methuselah, which died before his Dad did.

Irrelevant how Enoch left the earth!

Very good.
