Yes, the flood does say on the face of the whole earth and all flesh. So how did a pair of kiwis, moas, and tuataras make it onto the ark?

The Great Deluge may have confused the record as there were fountains from beneath as well as rains.  Continental drift may have occurred though it would have to be a faster than currently happens.  There a…[Read more]

To whomever it may concern,

When the only fruits you manifest are those of the Spirit you have found God’s righteousness and his kingdom.

Galatians 5:22-23Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

The found papyrus is naturally disintegrated because of it’s age and the way it was stored, etc..(I think it was found in a trash heap). Experts have concluded that this papyrus is the part of Revelation which contains 13:18. This ancient papyrus has written on it that the number of the beast is “616”.

If the source is found in a trash heap…[Read more]

Genesis 16:12
…The angel of the LORD said to her further, “Behold, you are with child, And you will bear a son; And you shall call his name Ishmael, Because the LORD has given heed to your affliction. “He will be a wild donkey of a man, His hand will be against everyone, And everyone’s hand will be against him; And he will live to the east of…

Daniel 11:38 is vague but the words “ but will exalt himself above them all” from verse 37 makes it sounds like he exalts himself above all gods.   That includes Allah and any other literal god you care to name.

So it seems that even the “god” part in verse 38 is figurative unless he honors with mouth but his heart is far from him.  I in…[Read more]

@t8,

Aine is the Irish goddess of love.  Love is he sphere of influence.

Allah is not in a like manner a god of fortresses or even forces.  His domain is all things just like Yawheh.

That is literal.

So it follows you claiming Allah is a god of force/fortresses in a figurative sense.

To whomever may be concerned;

1) Climate change is a given.  The idea that world has a static climate is disproved by the fact the climate is always changing.

2) Man effects climate: Cities are warmer that the surrounding territory.

As far as I can see the change is only in a local area.

1) Media argues that global warming is real because the…[Read more]

Grasshopper,

Not only do people of the Christian faith celebrate Christmas, but so do Jews and atheists! I can guess there are wiccans that celebrate, as well

Are Jews and Atheists revealing their faith in Jesus Christ by celebrating Christmas.  They clearly do not think so.  It is clear Christmas is what you make of it.  If you celebrate it by th…[Read more]

@t8,

I believe it is speaking of the whole land.  It is rather vague so it could mean any amount of land.  I do not even know if any of the languages had a word that means the same as world.  Translators try to determine what it means by the context.

Even in space you cannot see the whole world unless you sit there and allow it to spin and ye…[Read more]

Cam,

I hope you had a Merry Christmas.

In short kerwin, Islam is a stronghold.

Wouldn’t any ” set of beliefs concerning the cause, nature, and purpose of the universe” would fit that definition.

Note: quote is a definition of religion minus the “especially” statement as dictionary.com

@t8,

Then it seems you are not saying Allah is literally a god of fortresses?

Given that is correct the verse is not evidence to prove your case the Anti Christ is not a secularist.

@T8,

The book of Jubilees claims Arabs are decedents of Ismael and Muhammad agreed.  Sounds more like heretics than pagans.

Source: Wikipedia article on Ismael and another on Muhammad.

38 “But instead he will honor a god of fortresses, a god whom his fathers did not know;

Fortresses are defense works not for offense.

I know of no god of fortresses so it sounds more symbolic.

Allah is an Arab word meaning “the God”.   It was used by certain pagan Arabs to speak of a creator God.  The pagans were polytheists and there is n…[Read more]

Nick,

I celebrate because it is a social activity.  An activity that helps to tie the household together.  It serves to remind me of Jesus’ birth which was a sign and evidence of the power of God.  We do not celebrate his immersion in the Jordan.

Spock,

Heresy is a teaching that is not in tune with the true gospel of Christ.  You cannot receive the Spirit by adhering to heresy. If you desire to be righteous as God is righteous that you want the Spirit.

The trinity is based heavily on John’s words and shows ignorance of the type of Jews John was speaking to.  There is also passages that a…[Read more]

I am discussion one Scripture,  Deuteronomy 17.  I am taking about the context, them meaning of words, and basically the language used in that passage.  I have use a source to reveal the language use in Scripture.   The last is the third post down on this page, page 3.  You can see for yourself that experts agree that elohim is used to mean…[Read more]
