Undisclosed - ChristianWhy is there no mention of time travel in biblical times?
Almost all sci-fi and philosophic concepts are chronicled or at least hinted at, but I've never heard about any time travel (seeing the future, not withstanding).
How about then mention of other planets or the moon as "places" instead of things in the sky?

er what's your point? The bible doesn't mention jet airplanes, vampires, werewolves, ipods, or plate tectonics either.

Sure, the Bible mentions time travel. If I'm not mistaken, the great prophets traveled through time at the speed of 1 second per second.

Then Morgoth turned upon Húrin, and he said: 'Fool, little among Men, and they are the least of all that speak! Have you seen the Valar, or measured the power of Manwë and Varda?
Do you know the reach of their thought? Or do you think, perhaps, that their thought is upon you, and that they may shield you from afar?'
'I know not,' said Húrin. 'Yet so it might be, if they willed. For the Elder King shall not be dethroned while Arda endures.'

Are there any non-idiots that would like to respond? The bible is full of unusual miracles. Everything from walking on water to talking bushes on fire to the dead being brought back to life. So, if you don't know the answer to my question, feel free to go be stupid someplace else.

It's your question that is stupid. Why would it mention time travel? since when is the bible a repository of sci-fi themes? Originally posted by Maalik

Yea, I know, right? Like, why wouldn't it mention Hobbits and Battlestar Galactica? If Jesus could walk on water, I expect to read about Starbuck punching Colonel Tigh in the nose. Originally posted by Maalik

The bible is incomplete!!! It doesn't mention anything about parallel worlds like in Sliders either! It doesn't even mention ordinary things like coffee or coca-cola or telephones! Originally posted by Manwë Súlimo

Is it just me . . . I thought this was a rather insightful question. Maybe the concept of time travel was so obvious to those living in the culture that it was too obvious to mention. Hey . . . now I sound like a Evolutionist making up reasons that Evolution "could" work! Originally posted by Maalik
I mean . . . Chariot of the Gods, eh. Every one knows that the Egyptians didn't pull those huge square blocks of stone from the quarries to the Pyramids. The had Alien help in the form of Anti-Gravity machines.
Ya . . . so why aren't anti-gravity machines mentioned in the Bible, eh. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

You're not a troll magnet, you're a troll. There are no stupid questions, just stupid trolls.
Below are other related posts I found here on TW. All of your snarky remarks are based on the bible copying modern day sci-fi; I guess you're too stupid to understand that events in the bible happened "before" sci-fi. Giants may have been very large people, freaks. Or they may have been something else. Some say they are the children of angels: Nephilim.
I could talk about the linguistics of ancient peoples and how they would be likely to describe and name alien, out of time objects, however I think I have fed the trolls enough for now. Like I said, go be stupid someplace else.

My question is... why does it need to mention time travel and the names of the planets as places? Of what Theological/Practical relevance would such things be to all the parties who read it? Originally posted by Maalik
