Quote In other words, this passage is to be thrown out because there is too much contention. If God had truly inspired it, it would be without doubt. It doesn't take a genius or someone with understanding to doubt. Even a fool can doubt.

Quote In other words, we choose what suits our desires. You have no valid case to prove the reality of scripture, I have no proof of the fallacy of scripture. Stalemate.But a stalemate hurts your case much more than mine. Think hard and long about that.Not really. It hurts your case. YOU chose these things to discuss because you thought they…[Read more]

What scripture says God always uses his ability to know the future? Again, your assumptions. You can fast forward to the end of a movie and see how things are going to end. You have that ability.…[Read more]

Quote But in return, can I not say the same about yours? Either way uses the “argument from silence” which allows interpretation either way.

But in reality there is no fault, or at least, nothing that can be…[Read more]

God commanded his ancient people, the Israelites, to avoid all occult practices. “Everybody doing these things is something detestable to Jehovah,” warns Deuteronomy 18:10-12. Christians were likewise warned that “those practicing spiritism” would meet destruction at God’s hand. (Revelation 21:8) Consider what happened in the first-cen…[Read more]

Quote ROMANS 16:27“to God, wise alone, be the glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.”–NW“To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever.

Quote That's another problem with the bible. You're left to assume so much to make it feasible. So while you surmise they did, I can also say they didn't. Since it is not “written” its all up in the air.EXACTLY KEJONN. SO, “YOUR” assumptions mean nothing. And THEREFORE, this apparent contradiction is based on your assumptions and is…[Read more]

Quote If you define them to mean exactly one year or exactly two weeks, or goodness me, ‘one day’ then they do not match science. Since you can redefine Genesis in the way you want then it means nothing at all. No stu, I define it as dictionies define it: “epoch.” “Epoch” agrees with science, stu.And I am not redefining Genesis in the way I wan…[Read more]

Quote They were told they would die if they ate of the tree yet they had not seen death so they did not know what it was. How do you know they had not seen death?

Over and over again in history,…[Read more]

Quote This has made me question blind faith in Christianity. When I ask questions and I am only told to not ask questions, that makes me wonder? Mandy, I too have often stated the same.

Quote I do remember your olympian feats of apology in attempting to bring Genesis into line with reality. I also remember the message of that book being distorted out of shape in the process. Isn't this current pleading of your just a tiny bit hypocritical?You my friend are delusional. At least, when it comes to what genesis actually says, as…[Read more]

Quote Hi Nick,Where does it say in the Bible that celebrating birthdays are the whore's imitation of the Jewish feasts? I can't find it.Ya, I couldn't find that in the Bible either.
