Re: Dates in the reference panel

It is the dating of Abraham and some stuff that is beyond me. Books in the 1960's and 1970's called it long vs short dating and often included both sets of dates for Abraham and Moses. It did not mean young earth vs old earth dating!!!! Because the long dating is often used with a total lack of precise early dates, they have become linked in the minds of most people. I only know enough to know how much I do not know, and how much the experts also do not know. Because a book is more expensive and the author is more highly regarded, does not mean their chronology is the most accurate. And we now have far more systems than the long and short of the mid 1900s.
The World Video Bible School created a chronology that is more centered upon itself and not as synced to OUR time system. OUR time system is the most unstable thing of all.
The following is long after Columbus. When did Columbus "discover" America?

Between 1582 and 1752, not only were two calendars in use in Europe (and in European colonies), but two different starts of the year were in use in England. ... In the Public Records of the Colony of Connecticut, "A Corte at New Towne [Hartford] 27 Decr. 1636" is immediately followed by a court held "21 Febr. 1636," which is followed, in turn, by "A Cort att Hartford, Mrch 28th, 1637". Although it may first appear that the February session was entered out of sequence, the arrangement is actually correct. Under the "Old Style" calendar and legal new year, 1636 began on March 25. December 1636 was followed by January 1636 and February 1636, and 1636 continued through March 24.
The best business move is to not include dates at all, or to quote an authority. As a non-profit educator, I need a FINISHED list that I can legally and freely share with students. I am going to continue to tweak the list that I have started. I found another Christian school that did the same, and their dates are no more than 2 years different from mine. https://basicsofthebible.org/files/Inte ... istory.pdf
With cookbooks, lists are not copyrighted, but phrases are. I am assuming the biblehub chapter/event headings are copyrighted, but not the dates attached to the verse numbers.
There are times the Bible is precise about dates and times that it is not. The Bible is not always in Chronological order. Chronology is only ONE way to organize a piece of writing. God is not bound by time at all: he is omnipresent.
This is good enough for MY purposes. As a business move, I would need to pray about this. I would probably offer multiple timelines as modules, distancing myself from judgement on them. Or pay someone to lift the dates from Bullinger's OT and I. N. Jones Reference Passage Bible for the NT, and then have to recoup my loss by charging for it. I'd maybe pursue adding the Reece Bible as a module. I'd have to pray.
But if no one minds, I will continue to post what I am doing to with the BibleHub work that is older and wider than Biblehub, but is being increasingly adopted because Biblehub turned the dates into text.
