Colter,I am aware of the reported floods of Mesopotamia.  Such floods are rather common.  The Nial, the Yangtzee also flood and these are not attached to the Great Flood, nor do they account for the reports of the Great flood from nations and peoples all over the world.  The people of Mesopotamia, like Egypt, relied on such floods for the fe…[Read more]

Quote (Lightenup @ Mar. 14 2013,07:09)jb2u, You are welcome.There are two mentioned as 'God' in John 1:1…a child can count that. How blind can anyone be to deny this???LU,John 1:1 is a nice poetic verse. John seems to express things poetically in many cases. For some reason this seems to confuse people. He is not speaking of two God's. He is…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Mar. 14 2013,02:47)Quote (Colter @ Mar. 14 2013,03:57)Noah's flood story was the adaptation of a localized legend involving a much smaller flood in Mesopotamia. The purpose of the flood story was to trace the bloodlines of the Israelite's back to Adam (who was believed to be the first man by people living in that age). That's why they…[Read more]

Coulter,The Deluge Legend in global in scope and includes lands in South America. The flavors from place to place are different. It was only a brief flood where the waters abated after 150 days. There may have been places that were actually still above water as it exceeded the tallest mountain of the area by a mere 15 cubits.

Quote (jb2u @ Mar. 12 2013,06:13)I was raised Baptist. However, I never really got where they were seeing the trinity in scripture. It always seemed clear to me that God literally sent His Son. Never did I see it that God exists in three separate “beings.” This is not a debate about if the trinity is true or not!!! My point is….I love the church…[Read more]

Mike,Can God regress the age of a man until he has first become a living soul? I already said yes. The question is will he. My mother would need to be resurrected and perhaps even made healthier in order to bear me a second time. All these things God can do unless it is evil to do so.

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Mar. 13 2013,06:47)I always understood “after” to be referring to Numbers 13:33 – which says the offspring of the Nephilim were STILL around – even after the flood.There are SO many questions, but like t8 said, we are obviously not meant to know it all.Even angels long to look into some of these things.  (1 Peter 1:12)Jesus,…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Mar. 13 2013,04:17)According to the Book of Enoch and where the Bible quotes it, the sons of God sinned against men and beasts.
