and your dating is flawed..............

Mt St Helens proved it !

Canyon layers formed EXACTLY like the Grand Canyon and petrified wood formed instantaneously, not over years and millenniums etc.........

your science is a joke just like darwins...........

no wonder you throw out the most of the bible when it contradicts your man made ideas.

next..................

You are ramblinng - and have no idea what you are talking about. St Helens had nothing to do with carbon dating - i read the article - you were wrong. Me Scientist - You - Not Scientist ... Chemistry - as in the subject matter domain for such testing - and Microbiology

You are also talking time periods which are not relevant to dating methods for only 4000 years ago - of which there are many - and all of which you have little or no understanding.

This is not about contradicting man made ideas - like the Trinity Doctrine for example - or the numerous self contradiction in the Bible - no external evidence required.

This is about challenging basic science - and everything we know about the world around us - putting it in a box - and claiming that it is irrelevant.

and now you have contradicted your self - as you yourself rely on man made ideas - and believe in them.

I don't think the kind of mind twisting absurdity you have to go through to maintain your position constitutes a strong foundation for much.

A Global Flood did not happen in the way described in Genesis. The story may not have been intended to be taken literally ... but what we do know - is that this story was in the general collective conscience of all the peoples of the Near east for thousands of years - part of their religious belief. Exactly the same as the account in Genesis in many respects ... Genesis having slight differences to the main narrative .. nothing major.

So the people of the Near East - Sumerians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Canaanites, Israelites .. and all the other peoples mentioned - believed in the same general narrative .. that came from the distant past .. some perhaps took it literally - some as myth - some as Allegory - a story that is intended to convey a lesson..

In any case .. there was a main narrative - with many variations - some much more elaborate than Genesis.. Genesis is actually quite short by comparision .. All of the first part of Genesis however is a retelling of the exact same narrative..

The folks who put the OT together under Persia selected the version they liked .. or was traditional .. round 500 BC.

You have to remember that prior to the Persian period - El was still "The Most High" .. and worshiped as such by the Israelites and everyone else.. as we are told in the Bible.

Would you like to hear about some of these other creation stories ? - learn how El's brother Enki mixed clay (earth) - with a sacrificed God to create humans.. interesting stuff.

but in any case -- the basic narrative in Ugaritic Religious belief .. of which Israel shared - is the same.

You realize that Israel was not worshiping YHWH throughout their history - as the monotheistic entity presented in the modern OT.
And most of the time they were not even worshiping YHWH... as is told to us in the Bible.

and then it ended .. supposedly some scribe found the "Book of the Law" - just before it ended ... Hezikiah ? .. So that is the literature you have to go on. There was no other literature being used by these people - prior to that .. and they were all worshiping other Gods .. the Baals .. and so on .. at least since the time of Elijah .. centuries earlier. .. prior to Elijah .. Solomon was building temples to Child sacrifice Gods .. so things had gone south on YHWH for a long long time.. we are talking over 300 years..

Things were getting very tough - and obviously worshiping the wrong Gods is to blame - cause thats what folks blamed it on back in the day .. whether you were an Israelite or an Assyrian.

but then it ended .. The Northern Kingdom was already gone - under Assyrian Control round 700 .. and the Southern Kingdom was struggling - and finally collapsed.

Fortunately - The Babylonian Captivity was cut short roughly 600 BC down to 530 BC - but still 70 years until Persia took over and allowed the Jews to return to Judah.

So these start out with what ?-- The book of the Law and some stories written during the various captivities of Assyria and Babylon.

Genesis was written during this time period .. a compilation of old stories - some written - some oral - adapted for a new book that would represent the Jewish Religion.

I don't think we need to take Genesis literally - in order to Believe in One God .. or believe that parts of the story are true .. relics from a distant past that are shrouded in mystery - that we get small glimpses of from time to time.

The God of Abraham was "EL" - or some representation of EL - get it - got it - good.

No idea why you would post all those verses as none had anything to do with Satan - or the OT version of Satan vs the Revelations version ..sans some obscure reference in Nehmiah.

Many of your responses made no sense - what does any of the above have to do with the real Jesus ? - and if you want to believe in man made dogma over scripture .. you are welcome to your beliefs.
I responded to points you mentioned.

I stated the complete opposite of what you are saying "I am welcome to believe".

Did you not understand, my favoring of trusting Scripture over supplemental doctrines of men?


No one said you did ? - no idea why you are saying this - What does this have to do with evil man made dogma which resulted in Christian killing Christian

I stated MY standing, in disagreement with what some men have done and do...regarding YOUR topic of men killing Christians.

What men Have Done Against Christians, or Are Doing, or Shall Do...
IS accountable TO Them.

No idea why you are saying this - or how you came of this knowledge .. Did God sit down for tea and tell you his mission - cause the stuff you are saying is not from Scripture.

It's all throughout Scripture.

Clearly God IS IN Heaven Governing His Kingdom.
Heaven IS Gods Throne.
Repeatedly Jesus reminds use His Father IN in Heaven.
Clearly Jesus came Down From Heaven TO Earth.
There IS an Everlasting Earthly Throne God Established, For King David, Within Abraham's Promised Land.
• And That Throne situated within That Land "IS" Being Prepared, (AND the citizens thereof) ARE presently Being Prepared...
For a NEW King, And the citizens OF THAT Kingdom.

^ That knowledge has nothing to do with drinking Tea or Man-made Doctrines.

OK .. so it was Satan who planted the archaeological evidence with proves the Bible wrong about the great Flood - that answers one question.. thanks for that.

It is deceiving to give a thanks for something I never said.

Jesus said it is the poor in spirit that inherit the Kingdom of Heaven .. is this why Satan is so focused on the poor in Spirit ?

Do not confuse the Facts.
Salvation is OF the soul.
* That ^ many, "regarding ISRAEL", for Thousands of years, have Become Saved, and "their souls" of Ancient men to this day and forward...reside IN Gods Heavenly Kingdom.

• The poor "in spirit" ...is in Regard TO (primarily)... the Millions of the Tribes of Israel, whose soul IS Saved... (but Rejected Jesus' Offering of receiving A QUICKENED SPIRIT, During their Carnal lifetime.)

• They must Wait, till their Dead Bodies are Raised...which Occurs After Jesus' 1,000 yr Reign.

They shall SEE when the Son of Man return....AND "MOURN"...(they will be in mourning ... for missing out, having to wait, Because their Messiah was revealed to them, and they DID NOT accept their Christ Messiah God Promised them and SENT TO Them).

You know Gods WAY. He Offers, and WHEN one does NOT accept His Offering, He Offers it TO an other.

In this case What was Offered the Jews was their Promised Christ Messiah, called by the Name, Jesus, WHO came specifically SEEKING Jews.

They (Primarily) Rejected Him and the Gentiles, for 2,000+ years have Been Accepting Gods Christ Messiah, and Receiving;
Salvation OF their soul,
And
Quickening (richness) of their spirit.
And Shall BE with Gods Christ Messiah IN His Earthly Kingdom.

You seem confused about the topic

You have introduced a Mix of topics.
I responded to ones I elected to respond to.

[QUOTE
OK .. so works are part of the salvation formulation - and "Faith alone" is not enough to get one through the gates.

You trying to speak for me, explain for me is deceiving.

Your Mix of Topics and points:

• Historical treatment and killing of Christians, sanctioned by this purporting to be Christians.

My response...
Each will be accountable for their own actions.
I am not accountable for what others do.
I am not enjoined with people who promote or participate in Killing Christians because they Are Christians.


• Trinity Doctrine man- made

My response ...
I do not consider Man-man Doctrines.

I am not confused with the meaning of the "word" Trinity, being 3 in Unity.
I am not confused having received the gift of the Holy Spirit, IN TH NAME OF:
The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit:
3 in Unity; One Lord God Almighty.

Glory to God,
Taken

We all know the basic details .. in scripture .. you expand on these and add your own spin to it .. and this is the problem.
Further - you cherry pick scripture you like and ignore that which you don't.

Maybe you should post and respond to yourself since you appear to be only interested in your opinion.

Of course I have a bible - and have read the book. You on the other hand seem to have missed a few chapters - but this is of no moment.

One thing the Bible is not silent on is the Global Flood - The problem is that the evidence proves this event did not happen - and not all humans were killed round 2200 BC.

If God did plant this evidence - as that would turn God into an author of idiocy - this leaves only Satan.

Do you think Satan is trying to trick humans - to get them to not believe in the one true God.
So the Bible is wrong and you're right?

I realize there is no trinity doctrine in scripture - that is why Bible dictionary's state that there is no such doctrine in scripture.

Perhaps the Trinity doctrine is your reality - but it is not the reality of Jesus.. and he stated so in no uncertain terms :)

The Trinity is a man made doctrine .... one created by particularly evil men - who then used this doctrine to kill Christians.
Is there anything in the Bible you believe is the written Word of God? Anything? Why do you profess to be Christian?

This is the first time you will see this....


6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given;(present tense)



And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.(future tense after the resurrection and Col 2:9 effect on his body).
Yeah, Jesus is God! He was always good.

You are OBSESSED with implying that Jesus wasn't good! That is another of your Satanic heresies!
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
