Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
This website concerns the June 2008 discovery of the large wooden structure on mount Ararat in eastern Turkey and the 2010 press release about this discovery.
Paul, after reasoning about idolatry in Athens, states:
Therefore, although God has overlooked such times of ignorance, he now
commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has set a day on
which he is going to judge the world in righteousness, by a man whom
he designated, having provided proof to everyone by raising him from
the dead.” (Acts 17:30,31 NET)
I think it is safe to say that God overlooking “such times of ignorance” means God overlooked the ignorance of the people of those times.
How did Paul understand God to have “overlooked” the ignorance of those people?
It does not seem that “overlooked” merely means that God did not call them to account while alive, sparing them certain temporal judgments. Rather, in light of verse 31, it seems to imply that they will somehow be found less culpable in the final judgment.
According to most orthodox Christian theology, these pagans who died without Christ are forever condemned and without hope. If that is the case, it doesn’t sound like God “overlooked” their ignorance to me.
Question: What does it mean for those people who lived in times when ignorance was overlooked by God?

Actually very true.
But just how did you know?

I usually follow only the original poster not all of them that decided to copy paste from him years later not even knowing the technology
Casius Leonidas
Ron Wyatt discovered the Ark in Turkey, way back in the 80’s.
The government of Turkey did their own study of the site and agreed with him…they even built a visitors center which overlooks the area.
Varnel Watson
and you are correct Philip Williams

Troy Day
Ron Wyatt discovered a mud hole that is contrary to the Bible’s description of the landing place of Noah’s Ark. I have been to that mud hole and similar formations just up the road, created by the same 1948 earthquake.
Yes, the Government did help build a museum there. It’s on the road behind Parasut’s Noah’s Ark Research Center and museum. In just a few months, I doubt that anyone will ever again be interested in that foolish site.
Casius Leonidas
Troy Day so nothing indicating a man made structure exists on that site?
Casius Leonidas
Philip Williams so are saying nothing man made exists at that site?
Varnel Watson
Casius Leonidas I think I have to but dont really need to with any man made doctrine at hand or otherwise
Philip Williams
Casius Leonidas
It is well known that site was created in an earthquake and rainstorm in 1948, and not unlike similar formations just up the road. Nothing manmade exists there unless someone has dropped or buried it. I have visited this site and the museum there. It’s a pure promotion. The astronaut James Irwin who knew Ron Wyatt had no interest in it. I saw the foolishness of that site when some devoted Wyatt fans gave me his nonsense book on this site.
Astonishing that Christians are interested in this mud hole but not the ship on the mountain that interests the world’s foremost archaeologists. I suppose we could chalk this up as a measure of religious television.

what God covered let no man uncover
Philip Williams
What does it say about the intelligence of someone so interested in a mud hole in a valley but skeptical of an ancient ship looking just like Noah’s Ark sitting on top of the extremely high treeless mountain where the Bible says that Noah’s Ark landed?
And what does this say about the spiritual condition of today’s Pentecostal clergy?
Varnel Watson
have to agree with Casius Leonidas on this one
Varnel Watson
NOt implementing G5 technology all these years is a great mistake in the research
