What is wrong with you? How is it that you think making up your own version of the scripture proves anything? How on earth did you get the words you tried to stuff into the mouth of Luke by way of the words of Stephen? And that you do just so you can then turn around and call Stephen a liar? Where does Stephen say that "after Abraham died", "God commanded Abraham to move into the land of Canaan", as YOU say?
Acts 7:1-8 ASV
1 And the high priest said, Are these things so?
2 And he said, Brethren and fathers, hearken: The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,
3 and said unto him, Get thee out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee.
4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldæans, and dwelt in Haran: and from thence, when his father was dead, God removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell:
5 and he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: and he promised that he would give it to him in possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child.
6 And God spake on this wise, that his seed should sojourn in a strange land, and that they should bring them into bondage, and treat them ill, four hundred years.
7 And the nation to which they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place.
8 And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob, and Jacob the twelve patriarchs.
The author is clearly not saying what you have said because he goes on to speak of the promise given to Abraham, and the circumcision, and then the birth of Isaac, which all came later in the life of Abraham. What you have shown is nothing more than your own misunderstanding of chronologies and timekeeping. So Stephen is a liar because you extrapolated that out of the passage and because of an already well known issue surrounding the chronology that is relevant to this passage? Do you suppose I have never heard about this issue? It simply is not worth the time when you jump immediately to accusing Stephen as being a liar. No, it is you who is the liar, showing no fear of Elohim and His Word whatsoever, and willing to speak blasphemously about things you know nothing about because, as I said, you walk according to the flesh, thinking yourself to be like some great historian-chronologist-astronomer. :rotfl:

S-word Responds........You and everyone else who have followed this thread, know full well that was a simple typo on my part, as in every other post on this subject, I have said that Stephen was untruthful in saying that after Abraham’s father died, God made him move to this land (Of Canaan.)
Dagg Wrote........Acts 7:1-8 ASV 1 And the high priest said, Are these things so? 2 And he said, Brethren and fathers, hearken: The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran, 3 and said unto him, Get thee out of thy land, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee. 4 Then came he out of the land of the Chald忙ans, and dwelt in Haran: and from thence, when his father was dead, God removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell:
S-word........Correct! And all who have read the OT, know that Abraham was born after Terah turned 70, and that God made Abraham move to the land of Canaan, when he was 75, and that his father died at the age of 205, which was 60 years after Abraham had left his father in Haran with his younger brother Nahor. Proving beyond all doubt that Stephens statement in Acts 7: 4; “when his father was dead, God removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell,”is contradictory to the Holy Scripture and is therefore, a lie.

S-word.........On the contrary, the author of the book of Acts, is clearly saying, that Stephen erroneously believed that Abraham did not move into the land of Canaan until after his father ‘Terah’ had died, and all who have studied the Old Testament, know that Stephens words were untrue.

S-word.........It is not blasphemy to speak the truth and to point out the fact that Stephen was untruthful in stating that Abraham did not move into the land of Canaan until after his father ‘Terah’ had died.
Would you have the people on this forum believing that Abraham was 145 when God made him move into the land of Canaan? Because that is how old he would have been if one believes Stephens false statement, that it was after his father died at the age of 205, that Abraham, who was born when his Father was 70, moved into the land of Canaan. I certainly don’t want people to believe such an untruth.
But apparently, you are not concerned that People may also believe the falsehood spoken of by Stephen, that the bodies of Jacob and all his sons were buried in Shechem, But I will do all in my power to make sure that they are led away from those false statements and into the light of God’s truths.
And I suppose it does not worry you, that people who mainly study only the New Testament, might be deceived into believing Stephens false statement, that Abraham bought his family Grave site from Hamor the father of Shechem, when any true student of the scriptures, know, that is just another untruth told by Stephen, as All who have studied the OT, know that Abraham bought his family grave site from Ephron the Hittite at Machletah, which is east of Mamre, way, way south of Shechem, where only the bones of Joseph were buried.
