Inerrant Lie #14

Another lie from "God's ineffable, inerrant word":

In Acts chapter 7, Stephen ["a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost" -Acts 6:5] says of Abraham: "Then came he out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell [Acts 7:4]." This does not agree with Moses' account, recorded in Genesis.

Genesis 11:26 says, "Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram [a.k.a. Abraham], Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot." Accordingly, it is 'understood' that Abram was Terah's firstborn, inasmuch as Abram is first mentioned.

Verse 32 of Genesis 11 says, "the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran [a.k.a. "Charran," above]." Genesis 12:4 goes on to say, "Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran."

It's simple math: Terah begat Abram when he was seventy years old; Abram left his father Terah's household at the not- so- tender age of seventy- five years. Seventy plus seventy- five makes Terah one- hundred forty- five years old at Abe's departure for Canaan: sixty years shy of Terah's passing at two- hundred five years of age. Like it or not, either Moses or Stephen lied about what time of Abraham's life he finally left his father Terah’s household… if they both didn't.
