For the ancient Hebrews, 40 days was just a catch-phrase meaning a period of some indeterminate time. Thus, in Noah's day it rained for 40 days and 40 nights, for example. Today's Christians still hold on to this old tradition by observing the period prior to Easter -- called Lent -- for 40 days.

When he gets there, he knows, if the shops are all closed, with a word, he can get what he came for . . .

The Bible must have a rather wacky sense of time. Didn't some of those guys live for hundreds and hundreds of years? Then they consider 40 days a long time?

Surely God could develop some cooler heavenly transport.

I think he yanked Jesus up by his long pony tail like those Harry Khrishners believe he does.

Quote:
ESCALATOR TO HEAVEN

She said "St. Peter must've made a mistake." She's boltin' on down from the Pearly Gates. She's goin' down the up escalator to heaven. Well, she's not content to rest in peace. Headin' south and movin' fast. Pushin' by the recently deceased. Heads all snapped as she flew past. The elevator's broken and the stairway too. What's a little runaway angel to do? She's goin' down the up escalator to heaven. Well, she don't have no time to kill or wait for clerical correction. She's goin' for the gold in the downhill undead slalom resurrection. She made it to the bottom but she tripped & fell. Put her head on the pavement. Now she's goin' down to hell. She gets down on her knees and begs, puts that handrail between her legs. She's goin' down the up escalator to heaven.

So. If they say that after the resurrection that Jesus lived for 40 days before ascending to Heaven then they could really mean that he was around for longer than that.

And if Sarah started having kids when she was 300 years old she really could have been like 1,000 or something.

Shall we assume that the 7 day creation story is a guestimate as well?

How do people reconcile these times when they interpret the Bible literally?

Is it just a matter of faith?

<singing while reading>

Everyone is trying to get to the bar.
The name of the bar, the bar is called heaven.
The band in heaven plays my favorite song.
They play it once again, they play it all night long.
Heaven is a place where nothing ever happens.

Jesus has every reason to be pissed.

Still, I think he shoud take a cue from Nixon:

Jesus II: He's tan, rested and ready.

Oh my goodness, you truly are uninformed . . . no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

They got this down to a science (so to speak). Bishop Ussher[/b] alreay figured out that creation took place on Sunday, October 23, 4004 B.C. (late morning, i think) . . .

Yes indeed, I am uninformed and I shall attempt to read that link if I can ever get past the "Primate of all Ireland" bit without getting too bewildered and snickering like some idiot pot head (which I am not) thinking "if they gave a hundred monkeys a hundred typewriters...."
