Yes......and this leads to the questions/issues with the earth being only 6000-7000 years old, since God stated how long a "God Day" exists.

HM.........How can I believe this, and also believe that deano the dino roamed this great earth a few hundred million years ago.....

Geo I'm no bible scholar, but on dish network channel 256 there is a preacher named Arnold Murray, his church is called { Little Shepherd's Chapel ) he teaches chapter by chapter, verse by verse. he is a Bible scholar, he speaks three languages, English, Greek, and Hebrew, he teaches from the KJV Bible, and refers back to the Hebrew Bible when the KJV Bible don't go deep enough in detail, he teaches that there have been two earth ages, one before Eve and Adam and thats when the Dinosaurs roamed the earth, when God made Eve and Adam, that was the start of the second earth age, the one we live in now and when Jesus Christ comes back again, that will be the start of the third earth age. I had never heard that teached before, but it makes sense for the really old bones that are found, and the 6 and 7 thousand years go back to the start of Eve and Adam, I'm not smart enough to go into detail on what he teaches, but he has preached for over 50 years, he really gets deep into things in the Bible. what he says he backs up from the KJV and Hebrew Bibles, he sheds light on the arguments about the earth being younger than some say, and it being older than some say. he has been the pastor of that church so long, they have thousands of taped services he has done, from a much younger man until his hair is white as snow. if you have Dish network check him out, he teaches " Preaches " for about 45 minutes, then answers Bible questions sent in to him by folks all over the USA.

no, I haven't read anything about him, I've listen to him preach two or three times a week for the last 4 years. he seems ok to me, it shows what he is reading from the Bible as he does it, I really like to hear him answer the questions people write in and ask. like I said he gets deep into what happen, in the first earth age before Eve and Adam, and why eve sinned, and the reason for Cain killing his brother Abel. I have never heard another Preacher go this route, most just say she ate of the forbidden fruit, or " Apple " he seams to be a nice and kind person to me, I like hearing him. everyone has critics.

I would also caution anyone with regards to Shepherd's Chapel being a resource for sound doctrine. While he is very likable on screen and pleasing to listen to there is a lot out there for anyone wanting to learn more about his unorthodox interpretations in some areas that simply fall outside of the parameters of commonly recognized and accepted Christian theology.

If someone is looking for a good resource to learn more about the bible I would strongly recommend instead of Murray's Shepherd's Chapel they try something like Dr. J. Vernon McGee's "Through The Bible". You can listen online and over a span of five years you can listen to his commentary/exposition of the entire bible.

While degrees of course are not a prerequisite for anyone being a good bible teacher when there are already some red flags and questions marks as with Murray IMO it is simply wise to consider that he wasn't ordained from any recognized denomination accept his own church and there is no documentation of any of his training or schooling that he has ever made available.

In comparisons Dr. McGee was an ordained Presbyterian minister and has recognized degrees in theology. (B.D. from Columbia Theological Seminary;Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary)
