    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Where do you find Scriptural evidence for that? I can only find the opposite - Psalm 51:5 (WEB): (5) Behold, I was born in iniquity. In sin my mother conceived me. or as the GNB translates it: (5) I have been evil from the day I was born; from the time I was conceived, I have been sinful...

    1 Peter 3:20-21 (WEB): (20) ... God waited patiently in the days of Noah, while the ship was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. (21) This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you—not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good...

    Paul wrote, Romans 7:15-20 (WEB): (15) For I don’t know what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do. (16) But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good. (17) So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwells in me...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    We are begotten by God, and in our current embryonic state, God works in us, and we with him, so that our minds are renewed and we are gradually transformed to be like our Lord Jesus in character and will: Romans 12:2 (WEB): (2) Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Our trial for eternal life is now, before our resurrection. For non-Christians it will be after their resurrection. We have been begotten again as new creatures in Christ, but we are not born again until our resurrection, when we will be changed to have the same divine spirit nature that Jesus...

    We will be perfected in our resurrection, which occurs on the earth, then we go to heaven. 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 (WEB): (50) Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable. (51) Behold, I tell you a mystery. We...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Originally, before the flood, there was no rain, so rainbows could not exist (they're caused by the refraction of sunlight through falling rain). Instead, Genesis 2:6 (WEB): (6) but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground. The first rain occurred with the...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    When you study today's rivers and observe the amount of sediment deposited by rivers at their mouth/delta, then one can estimate how old the river is. Such sedimentary evidence is consistent with all of the rivers being younger than the time of the Great Flood. Here's an excerpt from Is there...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    Pay attention! I was replying to the statement, "The rapture theory is false doctrine". There was no mention"PRE-trib" in that, just "rapture". You obviously haven't watched the video that I linked to!

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    That's not what it says! The words were written by Moses, not by people living "back then" during the time being talked about. It says that all the people on the earth spoke the same language. It then says that as some/all people travelled westward and they stopped and dwelt on a plane. That...

    Rivers frequently flood their banks, but when the level recedes the river is still there!

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    It's not a theory. It's the teaching of Paul, who said it was revealed to him directly by Jesus: 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 (WEB): (15) For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    That is not what the Scriptures say though: Genesis 6:7 (WEB): (7) Yahweh said, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground—man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky—for I am sorry that I have made them.” Genesis 8:9 (WEB): (9) but the dove...

    I have noticed the following Negatives about the 'rapture'...

    I just came across this YouTube video of the evangelist and teacher Tiff Shuttlesworth, 5 Biblical reasons the church will not go through the Great Tribulation. I highly recommend watching it.

    Genesis 7:19-21,24 (WEB): (19) The waters rose very high on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered. (20) The waters rose fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered. (24) The waters flooded the earth one hundred fifty days. If the water was...

    No, fish need to breath oxygen too - without it they suffocate and die. Genesis 6:17 (WEB): (17) I, even I, will bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will die. Genesis 7 (WEB): (4) In seven...

    Before the Great Flood humans were vegetarians. Genesis 1:29 (WEB): (29) God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food. After the flood, Genesis 9:3 (WEB): (3)...

    I'm surprised you needed to ask that question! Let me see. It's alive, it's not a plant, it's not a bacteria, it breathes oxygen, consumes organic material and reproduces sexually, so yes it's an animal. Wikipedia confirms that fish are animals. No, but a sole is a fish. ;):jest: The Bible...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Yes, we are animals: Gen 1:24 (Darby): (24) And God said, Let the earth bring forth living souls after their kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth, after their kind. And it was so. Gen 2:7 (WEB): (7) Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his...
