An Interview with Logos CEO, Bill McCarthy & Genesis

https://www.logos.com/grow/interview-logos-ceo-bill-mccarthy/

Saw this yesterday on the interview and never heard of it before... I'm half hermeneutically suspect and half "there are no coincidences"

Anyone else hear of this before? I did some of my best Google Fu and found this article so I believe this is what he was referring to: https://www.khouse.org/personal_update/articles/1996/gospel-genesis

Hebrew	English
Adam	Man
Seth	Appointed
Enosh	Mortal
Kenan	Sorrow;
Mahalalel	The Blessed God
Jared	Shall come down
Enoch	Teaching
Methuselah	His death shall bring
Lamech	The Despairing
Noah	Rest, or comfort.

Man (is) appointed mortal sorrow; (but) the Blessed God shall come down teaching (that) His death shall bring (the) despairing rest.

Here’s the Gospel hidden within a genealogy in Genesis!

I've read of hidden treasures such as this in the Bible but had not seen Genesis 5 laid out like that before. I believe that the Bible is God breathed, and I also believe in the sovereignty of God in every area of His creation. If He chose to weave more into His inspired word than meets the eye, He most surely could. I haven't gone back and studied the root words yet (I plan to), but if it's as they laid it out in that article, that's no coincidence in my opinion.

Thanks for posting that, it's very interesting. I'll be sure to pass it along.

but if it's as they laid it out in that article,

Well, erh, I thought Adam meant earth ...[;)] My personal hermeneutics for things like this is that the is great value in the study put forth to discover this pattern ... less value in having it handed to you on a silver platter. But, then, I highly value anything that forces you to have a close reading of the text.

if something sounds too good to be true be a Berean and check it out.

this was addressed in a forum years ago and basically calls it into serious doubt. The translation of the individual words in the way suggested requires a lot of latitude [^o)]

Always good to see my Hebrew Prof engaging questionable approaches to the Biblical Languages!!

Not endorsing this book but just responding,

Yep... the bible sheds a lot of light on many a man's thinking. [8-|]
