Quote Then what were his motives? Reread the above. Many times Yahweh says he would harden Pharaoh's heart. What choice then did Pharaoh have? He was just a pawn according to the bible. Because of it, many innocent babes and children died in Egypt. –kejonnFirst, kejonn, you don't believe any of this. You don't believe in Yahweh or that he did…[Read more]

“And I will cause my two witnesses to prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days dressed in sackcloth.”I'm just wondering who those who see Ron as one of the “two witnesses” think the other witness is. Has Ron began to prophecy? Then it seems the other “witness” would be prophecying too, for this 1260 day period. Whoever these “two…[Read more]

Quote The two witnesses are most definitely men I actually disagree with this, that they are two men. I believe the “two witnesses” symbolize something other than two individual men. I believe they represent a group of people.

Quote What are you thinking of dating by radiocarbon methods? –stuYes, since my post repeatedly mentioned “The Carbon 14 Method” and “radio carbon 14” I would have thought it obvious, but yes.It is one of the techniques of 'radiometric dating' that you endorse considered in the evolution thread:Quote How can something be ‘already so many b…[Read more]

I'm not sure who is saying “angels are demons.” I think we are saying that demons are a name given to the angels that rebelled.Perhaps what you meant was “demons are not angels.”

For a wrong purpose, “the sons of the true God began to notice the daughters of men, that they were good-looking,” states the Bible, “and they went taking wives for themselves, namely, all whom they chose.” These unions were unnatural, and they produced hybrid offspring known as Nephilim. (Genesis 6:2-4) The spirit creatures who thus disobey…[Read more]

Good question. Where did the demons come from? It makes sense if they were angels who decided to follow satan, who was also an angel. But it doesn't make sense for God to have created bad spirit creatures just for the sake of having bad spirit creatures. The angel that sinned and rebelled against God (and later became known as “resister” and…[Read more]

Quote I think Stu's point is that many of our modern discoveries about hygiene should have already been discovered by the Jews if God truly spoke to them. Yes, while the jews were burying their feces, the egyptians were rubbing it on their faces and using it as medicine.

Quote Nick are you asking to annoy people or do you really don't know.–SEEK.Seek, he really doesn't know.And until you find a scrpture that says: “The angels that sinned became known as demons” he won't know.

Quote You’re right, your questions are hysterically hypothetical! What are you thinking of dating by radiocarbon methods? I guess I'll take your inability to answer the questions as a “yes.”But, if it wasn't radio carbon dating, what type of dating was used in that instance? We're speaking of 40,000 years if I remember. Since this is a very s…[Read more]

Quote Does the whole veracity of Genesis hinge on the meaning of one word? If it represented literal truth would it not be a bit more convincing?For the 73d time, one literal defintion of 'day' is: “a period of influence.”I think we're confused about the word “literal” now.

Even today, not too long after houdini, a child asked: “Was houdini real?” When someone is so popular, and has such stories about him, it's easier to be confused.(when someone asks if you're real, this pretty much means you've made it, as far as being famous goes.)Things were written about houdini while he was alive, after he was alive, and are…[Read more]

Quote (2) No one has met either in real lifeIf someone today (a few years after potter) said he was real, people would ask: Who has seen him? Where were the witnesses?In Jesus day, although some accused him of being a magician, or using demons, or of subverting the nation, or being all sorts of things, I'm uncertain that anyone accused him of…[Read more]

Quote There are remains of Australian Aboriginals to be found there from at least 40,000BCE to 2300BCE, and from 2300BCE to the present. How did Noah's progeny repopulate Australia with exactly the same race of people, as if nothing had happened at all?I have a hypothetical question for you stu.”If” there was a flood as described in the Bible in…[Read more]

Quote The day of creation is comprised of six individual, literal days in sequence. You keep saying “literal” days as if any other meaning were symbolic.There are more than one meaning of the word day (whether in hebrew or english.)

Quote How are you getting on with the Kiwi explanation?Not from aukland. First, I had to find out where that was.I think I do remember answering this before, or at least attempting to. You couldn't find where you originally asked it could you?It's 1:15 here, and I need sleep.

Quote chinese whispers starting with a common local flood event. So you're suggesting there was a “common local flood event” and this event became a legend in cultures all over the world. Was this a pretty big flood?

Quote I have already explained that this happened in the same way that people get to believing in gods.I failed to see any explanation. Where is it?
