Family of God: Re: [FamilyofGod] General Quiz/We have a Winner-amt1968

Genesis 13: 10-11
Lot took a long look at the fertile plains of the Jordan Valley in the direction of Zoar. The whole area was well watered everywhere, like the garden of the Lord or the beautiful land of Egypt. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) Lot chose for himself the whole Jordan Valley to the east of them. He went there with his flocks and servants and parted company with his uncle Abram.

Well looks like we have a winner. The answer to the first question cannot be denied. Because it is near Kuwait.

"1.Possible Locations:- Jackson County Missouri , Mointeach Barbhais

( Scotland ), Jerusalem , Iran , Persian Gulf , Bahrain , Southern Mesopotamia and the Persian Gulf , Japan. The strongest evidences lead to the conclusion that it is the fertile land between Euphrates and Tigris rivers, in present day Iraq .

The only thing the Bible tells us concerning the Garden of Eden's location is found in Genesis 2:10-14, "A river watering the garden flowed from Eden ; from there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah , where there is gold…The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush . The name of the third river is the Tigris ; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates ." The exact identities of the Pishon and Havilah rivers is unknown, but the Tigris and Euphrates rivers are well known.

If the Tigris and Euphrates mentioned are the same rivers by those names today, that would put the Garden of Eden somewhere in the Middle East , likely in Iraq . It cannot be mere coincidence that the Middle East region is where the planet was most lush—the place where the Garden of Eden was placed. If oil is, as most scientists believe, primarily decayed vegetation and animal matter that has decomposed, then this is the area where we might expect the greatest deposits of the substance we call oil. Since the Garden was the epitome of perfection, it stands to reason that the decomposition of the earth's most perfect and lush organic materials would produce vast stores of the earth's best oil."

Therefore the most probable place is the fertile land between the rivers Euphrates and Tigris, which is today's Iraq.Mesopotamia is the cradle of civilization as we know it now.. Well now Congratulations. We will wait for George to come back for the award ceremony. Praise God.

Molly.

What does Bible say about eating meat "rare"?In Leviticus 17:10-11, God commanded the Israelites not to eat the blood of any animal, because "the life of the flesh is in the blood" (vs.. 11). Many have wondered if this command includes reddish juices in a "rare" steak, or similar piece of meat. It does not. God only requires that the slain animal be properly bled—that no blood remains. Any leftover juices need not worry us. We can safely consume them without fear of reprisal

In which verse in the Bible does Jesus ask us to come to Him for rest? Matthew 11:28

Those who matter, will not judge you, those who judge you, don't matter.
