Question 10 of 42

10. Question
According to Stephen in Acts 7:2-4, Abraham received his call in Ur before his father, Terah, died in Haran. But in Genesis, the order seems different at first sight.

- He says that Genesis does not pretend to relate things in chronological order.
- He says that Stephen made a mistake in his speech in Acts 7, but that this does not mean the Book of Acts is not inspired; sometimes the Bible quotes things that are not necessarily accurate.
- He says that Genesis 12: 1 represents a flashback, a regression in time, and should be translated the Lord had said.

Question 28 of 42

- Paul is making a somewhat inaccurate grammatical observation, but as an inspired writer, his conclusion is valid. It is not correct to say that seed refers to only one person, but it is valid to say that when Moses uses the word in Genesis 22:16-18, he is referring to Christ.
