At HEBREWS 1:6, the angels are instructed to “worship” Jesus, according to the rendering of RS, TEV, KJ, JB, and NAB, and others.New World Translation (NW) says: “do obeisance to.”Young's Literal Translation (YLT) says: “le…[Read more]

Quote I think you might have forgotten that actual evidence has been given that disproves the biblical account on each of these points–stuSorry, must of missed that somehow. Could you name one of them?What you have done is explain that we can't explain some things in the Bible, just as science can't explain many things today, just as science…[Read more]

Quote So we see here the Father says the Angels are to “Proskuneo” him.Sure, and the primary meaning of proskuneo is to “bow down” or as you say to “to fall upon the knees and touch the ground.” Essentially, it means to bow down.Think of when those mocking Jesus with his stake bowed down before Jesus in a mocking way. The word proskyneo was…[Read more]

Quote That is a pretty arrogant spin. I want biblical literalists to explain the claims in the bible. What does that have to do with what I can’t explain?Only this: It makes clear that this all means very little.

stuart.Quote Stu: That is not relevant. I don’t care who did it, I want an explanation of how it happened. You haven’t given one.So is ignorance a reason to say the bible is right?No, and NOR IS IT A REASON TO SAY THE BIBLE IS WRONG. That's my point. Find something that actually contradicts something we absolutely know to be true. Any…[Read more]

Quote OK. So you can’t explain it then. Fine. And neither can I explain most of the things scientists are doing with genes these days–things considered miracles or impossible just 10 years ago.Quote So now you want to claim that there is a causal relationship, yet it is not explainable, and that is the explanation. I haven't changed what I…[Read more]

Question: Why do Cato and Kejonn keep calling them “anonymous” authors?

Quote You know KJ. I am faced with a very tough decision. I don't know who to believe now, you or God.94, based on past experience, God never being wrong, kejonn being wrong hundreds of times (just on this forum) I'd go with God.

Quote (kejonn @ April 26 2008,13:33)Regardless of any explanation, please show me a single parable that uses totally false circumstances. That is, while they may be “stories”, all elements of them are possible. Extend that to the “Rich man and Lazarus”. What part becomes impossible?Did you read any of my post? Or, did you even read the actual parable?

Quote It is his earth, and he has every right to decide who lives on it.That he has chosen not to make us like robots, I think is a good thing.That he will remove those who are foolish enough to disregard their very maker is also the only just thing that can be done–for those who actually love God.–davidQuote That's outrageous. IF God is so…[Read more]

Quote Would you like to elaborate on exactly the size of effect you would expect from a difference in the environment of a matter of some tens of days on the abundance or rate of decay of buried C14?10 days? Is that how long the water canopy, or extra water was in the sky (“firmament” for you).

Quote When NASA failed to bend a rocket nose-cone on a solid firmament, did anyone correct Genesis in their bible? I don't remember ever seeing “solid firmament” in the Bible. One meaning of firmament is “sky” remember?I think you somehow connect sky to something symbolic, obviously symoblic in Revelation and bent everything in sad and obvious…[Read more]
