TouchéNothing is impossible for God - Therefore every thing must be the truth, even F/E![]()
Good evening John.Genesis just talks about Adam and Eve facing death as a punishment for their sin. I was wondering what would have happened after that? Would they be resurrected and judged by Jesus? If they are saved I wonder what about Cain? Thanks.
Individuals who have responded in this thread do not operate at your limited intellectual and educational levels, so stop projecting.But its a justified one. Unlike the testers I am linking the peer review or they provide detailed tests and analysis with sections laying out methodology, testing and results with calculations in a formal format and not on an informal social media thread.
You may have qualifications and so do most of the researchers. You challenge on precision tooling and engineering and I give you two experts with over 50 years experience. I give you Petrie one of the worlds greatest archeologists.
If we are playing teh game of ad hominems then I win lol. I don't think you have better qualifications. At the very least they are as good that their opinion should be taken with as much credibility as you.
This is silly. I know some random individuals have on sites like these devalued experts according to their less knowledgable claims. Are we going to have a qualification of everyone who speaks. Or is it that if anyone says something that aligns with the skeptics is an expert and those who don't are not.
Let me ask you do you think there is bias and some without the knowledge or expertise are making claims beyond what they can know. That is motivated by personal beliefs and assumptions rather than fact or truth. Can you assure than none of that is happening. I already know your answer.
Here it is again. You have qualified the suggestion that stones were molded or softened as idiotic obsession before we have properly investigated it. I know there are at least scientific articles that support stone softening or molding. So already you have shown the bias and taring everything said as stupid and idiotic.
By the way regardless of who is right or wrong on the facts when people use such emotive and moral language over what is just a factual matter shows they are the ones injecting personal feelings and beliefs into the equation. That in itself is usually an immediate disqualifer as its a signifier that the person is more supceptible to being influenced by their feelings.
Well let me put my forensic scientist cap on, I have had to analyse SEM results and have sometimes been led astray as SEMs are very good at detecting contamination.Ok I must have missed that one as well.
Then how do you explain this. Do these scientists also have an idiotic obsession with moulded limestone.
After extensive scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations and other testing, they found that the tiniest structures within the inner and outer casing stones were indeed consistent with a reconstituted limestone. The cement binding the limestone aggregate was either silicon dioxide (the building block of quartz) or a calcium and magnesium-rich silicate mineral.
The stones also had a high water content--unusual for the normally dry, natural limestone found on the Giza plateau--and the cementing phases, in both the inner and outer casing stones, were amorphous, in other words, their atoms were not arranged in a regular and periodic array. Sedimentary rocks such as limestone are seldom, if ever, amorphous.
The sample chemistries the researchers found do not exist anywhere in nature. "Therefore," says Barsoum, "it's very improbable that the outer and inner casing stones that we examined were chiseled from a natural limestone block."
More startlingly, the presence of silicon dioxide nanoscale spheres (with diameters only billionths of a meter across) in one of the samples. This discovery further confirms that these blocks are not natural limestone.

Real evidence trumps confirmation bias and pareidolia.To claim its beyond doubt is an absolute claim that theres no chance thats its possible. I think thats a bit unreal and flies in the face of the evidence above.
Once again only someone as deluded as you, completely paralysed by pareidolia can see evidence of stone softening or moulding in the images.Who knows. Whats your point. It may have been for many reasons.
Ok well your the one making absolute claims in spite of the counter evidence. I would not be so quick to claim anything at the moment. Further tests are needed. But so far from the evidence above they were moulded.
Not just that. Do you not see with your own eyes that the signatures clearly show stone softening or moulding. Why is it so bad that these ancients were smart enough to create artificial stones. They worked with it everyday for 1,000s of years. Of course they got to know natural minierals and chemicals and how they worked.
Your not giving them enough credit.
Let me ask. Do you think the obvious signatures that look like softened stone only look like that and are actually pounded or ground into those shapes that happen to look like they were soft or melted.
OK, notedIt addresses your comment about wondering how many would be fooled. I said likely very few would change their opinion for the better or worse. They will just take the money and go along as usual.
That's still quite a bit different from your original claim:If you notice in those articles, that power is pretty broad... to use a SQL analogy.
It may not be as broad as
SELECT *
FROM Accounts
But it's as broad as
SELECT *
FROM Accounts a
JOIN TransactionHistory th on a.AccountNumber = th.AccountNumber
WHERE th.TransferTarget = 'Bank XYZ'
--which is still very broad. When they leveraged a John Doe Summons to go after people making coinbase transactions, their criteria was broad enough that it ended up handing over the bank account information for nearly 20,000 people on one fell swoop.
In the late 2010's they leveraged the same types of "broad criteria search" aimed at people who transferred money to Swiss banks, and people who transferred money to financial institutions in the Caribbean.
...which is still in the same realm/mindset of the "patterns based on historical behavior & incidents would dictate that people who do X & Y are more likely than others to be committing infraction Z -- so just give me all of the people who are X & Y and we're bound to turn up some Z's"
And per the kiplinger article, their powers extend to family members and the vaguely defined "associates". Which means if they feel they have reason to believe that one of my relatives or perhaps a co-worker or neighbor has been getting into some tax shenanigans, they can grab my info when they grab theirs.
As it currently stands, they go to my bank, demand all transactions and account balances for every bank customer, and then start sifting through looking for things to use against people without a warrant and with consent
What facts?
Yes, and he's a convicted felon, too.Anyone else smell a rat here?
Prices are only rising if you're overly obsessed with money like a Communist.It's hard to reconcile 2% inflation with consumer prices dropping.
Yes, it's 18, sorry.It's actually #18, I automatically used 19 because you did. Anyway #18, you say this.
"That is the key. Being able to examine the scriptures, and know the ring of truth, because of seeing it."
That's is subjective.
And 1. John 3:22. and 23 witten to thwb. BODY. of CHRIST and ONLY PAUL. , the Apostles to GENTILES has written
to. the BODY. and Peter says that. Paul writes things that are HARD to. be understood and Peter is not our Apostle
Christ is God. Are we Gods? Will we sit at the right hand of the Father?And we were CHOSEN. // ELECTED before the OVER THREW. OF THE WORLD in Eph 1:4. !!
And we were PLACED INTO CHRIST. in 1 COR. 12:13. !!
AND IN. 1 Cor. 12:15-17 we. are CHRISTS FEET , HIS HANDS , WE ARE HIS EYES , ARE HIS EARS , His SENSE OF HEARING
and his SENSE OF SENSE ''
It mes we are CHRIST !!
The word of God has been my teacher. I do not hold to your doctrine that the only apostle that I am to be taught by is Paul. So, you say that gentile believers do not need to obey 1John 3:22-23?AND 1 JOHN 3:22 and 23 IS NOT THE BODY OF CHRIST as 1 John is. WRITTEN to ISRAEL. and not to the
BODY OF CHRIST. and I will say you. are following , what yet in. the FUTURE , like the GREAT. TRIUBATION !!
Just wondering , just. who. taught you about. 1 John 3:22 and 23 , just. asking. ??
And will quote on only on. Rom 1:1 Paul a called. apostle having SEPARATED. //. APHORIZO. and this GREEK word'John addresses the book to the world, then a division is also made, because the world dd not know Him, and He came to His own, (according to the flesh. Romans 1:3.) and His own received Him not.
But as many as received Him, (which is when the Spirit was given, after that Jesus was glorified.) to THEM HE GAVE POWER TO BECOME THE SONS OF GOD, EVEN TO THEM WHICH BELIEVE ON HIS NAME, not born of flesh and blood, not born by that will, of man, BUT OF GOD.
John Baptist testifies how we ALL RECEIVED OF HIS FULNESS, and grace for grace. The law given by Moses is not the fulness, grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
As no man which includes Moses, ( Exodus 33:20.) has seen God at any time, the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, which is IN THE BOSOM of the Father, He has DECLARED Him. (THIS IS THE RECORD OF JOHN, when the JEWS SENT PRIESTS AND LEVITES FROM JERUSALEM TO ASK HIM, WHO HE WAS.)
John 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 1:16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Exodus 33:20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
Now Nicodemus a ruler of the Jews comes to Jesus by night calling Jesus Rabbi, and that they know through the miracles Jesus did, that He was A TEACHER, come from God, and that God was with Him. ( which is not faith)
Jesus immediately answering tells Nicodemus that unless a man is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. ( which is faith)
Jesus speaks the words of the Father (which is in Him) that a man has to be born of water and of the Spirit, to enter the kingdom of God.
Jesus, ( according to what was already told in John 1:12-13.) separates being born of the flesh, from being born of the Spirit.
(By faith) so is every one that is born of the Spirit, as we ALL hear the sound of the wind ( as we ALL received of His fulness/heard the words. John 1:16-17. Romans 10:18.) but cannot tell ( cannot believe) where it comes, and where it goes.
Nicodemus cannot HEAR the words of faith, and Jesus, TRULY, TRULY, said unto him, that they SPEAK THAT THEY DO KNOW, and TESTIFY WHAT THEY HAVE SEEN, and they RECEIVE NOT THEIR WITNESS. ( He came unto HIs own, and His own RECEIVED HIM NOT. John 1:11. But as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE ON HIS NAME, which were not born of the flesh, but of God. John 1:12-13.)
Jesus testifies that Nicodemus DID NOT BELIEVE, (of the earthly testimony) and then how shall they BELIEVE if He tells them the HEAVENLY TESTIMONY.
No man has ascended up to heaven, BUT HE WHICH CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, EVEN THE SON OF MAN, which IS IN HEAVEN.
And as Moses LIFTED UP the serpent in the wilderness, EVEN SO MUST THE SON OF MAN BE LIFTED UP, that WHOSOEVER BELIEVES ON HIM, should not perish, but have eternal life.
John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
John 3:9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
John 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Peter and the apostles speak to Israel, and tell them how they are ALL WITNESSES, and they speak freely to them of the patriarch David, BOTH DEAD AND BURIED.
David knew that God had sworn to him with an OATH, that of the fruit of his loins ( ACCORDING TO THE FLESH) He would RAISE UP Christ to sit on his throne.
David SAW THIS BEFORE, speaking of the RESURRECTION of Christ, for his sou not to be left in hell, neither his FLESH TO SEE CORRUPTION.
Peter and the apostles being witnesses of the RESURRECTION of Jesus by God, testify how He being by the right hand of God exalted, ( ASCENDED ON HIGH. Psalm 68:18.) RECEIVED OF THE FATHER THE PROMISE OF THE HOLY GHOST.)
For David IS NOT ASCENDED INTO THE EHAVENS, ( no man has ascended up to heaven, but He which came down from heaven, even the SON OF MAN WHICH IS N HEAVEN. John 3:13.) but said, THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, SIT YOU ON MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES YOUR FOOTSTOOL.
THEREFORE, let ALL THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL KNOW ASSUREDLY, that Go has MADE the same Jesus, WHO THEY CRUCIFIED, both LORD AND CHRIST. ( the Lord saying to my Lord/BOTH LORD AND CHRIST.)
Wherefore He said, When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive, and GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN. (NOW, THAT HE ASCENDED, what is it but that He ALSO DESCENDED FIRST INTO THE LOWER PARTS OF THE EARTH?)
(HE THAT DESCENDED IS THE SAME ALSO THAT ASCENDED UP FAR ABOVE ALL HEAVENS, THAT HE MIGHT FILL ALL THINGS.)
Acts 2:29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Psalm 68:18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: THOU HAST RECEIVED GIFTS FOR MEN; yea, for the rebellious also, THAT THE LORD MIGHT DWELL AMONG THEM.
Ephesians 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Jesus in the last day, that great day of the FEAST, stood and CRIED, IF ANY MAN THIRST, LET HIM COME UNTO ME AND DRINK, he that BELIEVES ON ME, as the scripture HAS SAID, out of HIs belly shall flow RIVERS OF LIVING WATER. ( this He spoke of the Spirit, which they that BELIEVE ON HIM SHOULD RECEIVE, for the Holy Ghost was given when Jesus was glorified.)
When they came to Jesus and SAW THAT HE WAS DEAD ALREADY, they BROKE NOT HIS LEGS, but one of the soldiers with a spear PIERCED HIS SIDE, and right away there CAME OUT BLOOD AND WATER. (THESE THINGS WERE DONE, THAT YOU MIGHT BELIEVE, THAT THE SCRIPTURE SHOULD BE FULFILLED, A BONE OF HIM SHALL NOT BE BROKEN, AND AGAIN, THEY SHALL LOOK ON HIM WHO THEY PIERCED.
Psalm 34:20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
Isaiah 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Zechariah 14:8 And it shall be IN THAT DAY, that living waters shall GO OUT FROM JERUSALEM; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
John 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
John 19:33 But when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:
34 But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.
35 And he that saw it bare record, and his record is true: and he knoweth that he saith true, that ye might believe.
36 For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.
37 And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced.
Luke 24:26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
Apostle Paul likewise addresses the faith AMONG ALL NATIONS, of God, concerning HIs Son Jesus Christ OUR LORD, made of the seed of David according to the flesh, and DECLARED TO BE THE SON OF GOD WITH POWER. ( GAVE POWER TO THOSE WHO RECEIVED HIM TO BECCOME THE SONS OF GOD, EVEN TO THEM WHICH BELIEVE ON IS NAME.) whom they RECEIVED GRACE ( GRACE FOR GRACE) and apostteship for OBEDIENCE TO THE FAITH AMONG ALL NATINS FOR HIS NAME.
Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
In the Sabbath commandment there was always a provision for everyone (stranger within your gate) Exo20:8-11 The Scriptures recorded as being given directly from God said that the Sabbath was made for humanity (including Gentiles) Mark2:27 Isa56:6-7 which we see the fulfillment in the NC with both Jews and Gentiles coming together every Sabbath, as Jesus said His house is for all nations- those who keep His covenant Isa 56:6 and we see this clearly in the NC almost all cities coming together hear the word of God Acts 13:42 Acts 13:44 Acts 18:4Why is it that God didn't reveal the seventh-day Sabbath command to any other nation? There is no historical indication that the Aztecs, the Aborigines, the Asians, the Celts, and all others were ever instructed to observe rituals given to Israel. Could it be that the seventh-day Sabbath was only for Israel???? I believe we have scriptural evidence that it was only for Old Covenant Israel.
I believe FDR was the reason that the people of the USA decided to restrict the number of times a person could run. He was in office at the time, and therefore the two term limit did not apply.FDR (who was tied to weird Jewish beliefs by buddy Stephen Wise**) did four terms.
It is difficult to study this man without wanting to strangle him.
Yes, there are some that have some kind of spiritual base and it is not jesus. There are some Christian Chiropractors though and I think the school and personal beliefs may be different for some? Studies have shown that lower back pain is significantly helped by chiropractors. Since a Few D.O.'s treat patients similarily with adjustments, I doubt they have the mystical notions as they study as much as a M.D.Chiropractic is based on the idea that mystical energy called Vital Intelligence is guided by the manipulation of the spine as the practitioner directs this energy with twists and cracking motions.
The actual supernatural entity chiropractic appeals to is never disclosed.
Sounds good! Now... Is it an instruction in the New Covenant? Or more like a suggestion, as it looks to you?Leviticus 23 is about the appointed feast to Israel. Involvement requires being made ritually clean, and for some things in it being circumcised in the covenant with Yahweh is needed.
The seventh day is a day of complete rest, so I see that is to be encouraged. Some gather and that Sabbath day is good for it, including the end of Friday at evening. However with being vulnerable as I am, I only go online to watch and hear biblical teaching being done then.
I think it is a terrible idea both biblically and practically. The borrower is slave to the lender. So a 50 year mortgage institutionalizes this even further. Longer duration mortgages command HIGHER interest rates. A 15 year mortgage is cheaper than a 30 years by a half percent. By extending the mortgage to 50 years, it will qualify more buyers at current prices. However, sellers will raise prices. so they will likely pay more for the house.Podcast weighs pros, cons of reported Trump administration plan
Is a half-century investment in owning your home worth it?
Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte announced this week that the Trump administration is working on a novel approach to the home affordability crisis: a 50-year mortgage.
The still-unofficial proposal builds off of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s introduction of the 30-year mortgage under the New Deal and could offer more homebuyers the opportunity to qualify for financing.
Still, critics point out that given the average U.S. life expectancy of 78.4 years, the average 32-year-old homebuyer is more likely to leave the mortgage for their children to pay off than to leave them a home free and clear.
Pastor Mark Driscoll, senior pastor of Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Arizona, took on the topic in a Nov. 11 episode of his podcast titled “Trump 50-Year Mortgage is a GREAT Idea,” in which Driscoll and Landon Chase, real estate agent and CEO of Driscoll’s Real Faith Ministries, talked about the merits of such a proposal.
Continued below.
i'm not sure its foolishness at all.
yes, there will be unforeseen consequences. being born on this earth is bad enough, but being born and finding out at say, 20-40 years of age that you're sterile because your parents did some genetic experimentation on you to make you smarter, well, you're going to have to go take anger management classes...
I'm actually surprised I didn't get totally banned for a mild but interesting argument with an old man on reddit who felt personally offended in a thread where I predicted that the ever increasing number of vaccines are going to cause significant unforeseen consequences on the order of 100 to 200 years from now.
I've never observed nuclear fusion in the lab, either. But like macroevolution, scientists have observed it.So you have not observed a speciation event but now claim others have.
"Macroevolution" means the evolution of new species. If that seems meaningless to you, we've located the problem.Certainly words mean things. But words that tell us nothing new are meaningless tautologies.
What is the difference between these two groups? I've been in churches, and had elders trying to instruct me, and they claim to be Evangelical, but I think they are closer to Fundamentalist.
Here a couple of things that makes me think they are fundamentalist, they seemed to not agree with and tried to steer me away from modern paraphrases like JB Phillip's Letters to Young Churches. They try to steer me away from pop/rock music, and some CCM. In their favor I suppose I could score them for showing an interest to get me on the what they believe to be the right path as it were. But its their claim to be evangelical? Maybe they are and maybe JB Phillips is questionable for some in the evangelical community? But I get the feeling a lot of stuff is going to be off limits for me if I submit to these churches. I like to know where they are coming from, what in their view can and can't do, listen to, read etc. as some groups can be extreme in what they regard as worldly.
Is there anything in particular that distinguishes Evangelicals from Fundamentalists?
That makes some sense. The literary structure of Genesis 1-3 is polemic. It's an overt rejection of a bits-and-pieces creation by various deities, instead acknowledging one Creator.Mytho-history is a theory that claims Genesis should not be understood literallt (or at least not literally in the modern sense.) instead, it is largely a figurative account that expresses important theological truths and to establish Yahweh as the one true God vs the pagan religions of the Ancient World.
Do you want to bypass Genesis 1, and 2?And what are your thoughts on how the teledoths noted above do not give history, but continue the story? Such as with Noah's children being born, followed by the story of Noah's ark?
Genesis 5:30-32 ESV
[30] Lamech lived after he fathered Noah 595 years and had other sons and daughters. [31] Thus all the days of Lamech were 777 years, and he died. [32] After Noah was 500 years old, Noah fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
So we see the historical geneologies leading up to Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japeth.
Genesis 6:5-8 ESV
[5] The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. [6] And the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. [7] So the Lord said, “I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, man and animals and creeping things and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.” [8] But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
Then we see the flood story introduced by wickedness of the world.
Genesis 6:9-14 ESV
[9] These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation. Noah walked with God. [10] And Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
We have our teledoth. And reference to the birth of Noah's sons as in the end of chapter 5.
[11] Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence. [12] And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth. [13] And God said to Noah, “I have determined to make an end of all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth. [14] Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch.
Then the story continues into the future. After the sons were born.
So chapter 6 begins where chapter 5 ends. And chapter 6 is a continuation into the future.
