    the creation story a myth????

    Then you are saying God lied. The Bible cannot be both 100% inerrant and 100% figurative. Saying otherwise is a logical fallacy as the two are mutually exclusive.Consider the definitions in·er·rant (ĭn-ěr'ənt) Pronunciation Key adj. Incapable of erring; infallible. Containing no...

    Mary, Mary quite contrary

    (thesuperjag;24885) Nay, he is not saying it. Yahshua's mother is of no importance except for the fact that she gave birth to Him and called Him Lord. We don't worship Mary, nor pray to that sinner. It is blasphemy to the Son and His Father.Jag And here we see the other extreme. Mary was...

    the creation story a myth????

    (tim_from_pa;24880) Be careful of your reasoning here. I believe there was a gap of time and it does not bother me if you do not. However, lack of a straightforward statement in the bible, or even silence for that matter does not prove this was not the case. In other words, silence about a...

    the creation story a myth????

    (whirlwind;24873) We are enlightened to a deeper mystery but it is in plain view :study:, not hidden for a few. We have shared it with you, not hidden it..... but it is up to you to accept it or not, just as it was for us. ...........Whirlwind That is precisely my problem with the argument...

    Apostasy in the church

    (whirlwind;24876) You are correct jkdjr....the twelve tribes do make up the whole house of Israel and it is to them that God gave His promise. :angel9:Where are they today? ........Whirlwind Logic says that they are the Jewish people as they are the Chosen people of God. Any claim to the...

    Evangelicals blast any J'lem division

    That may well be what you intended to say, but it didn't come across like that. The children of Israel have never stopped being God's chosen people, they are still the apple of His eye. This is a solid, foundational truth. If anyone claims otherwise then they are saying that God is a covenant...

    the creation story a myth????

    Again I disagree. You're saying that you somehow are more enlightened to a deeper mystery, hidden by God for only a select few to understand. This is a gnostic teaching about scripture. The meaning is plain and literal, nothing else makes sense when tested by logic and common sense.

    The Lord Has Shown Me My Error

    I'm glad for you. A good test of any teaching is does it follow when tested against scripture using our God given gifts of logic and common sense. Keeping in mind that I'm a literalist when it comes to the Bible, if it doesn't line up using that definition, then by logic it is not a true teaching.

    Apostasy in the church

    The 12 tribes of Israel are the whole house of Israel and the descendents of Abraham. It is to these people that God made His everlasting promise. That is the literal interpretation. Anything else, when weighed against scripture using logic and deductive reasoning, doesn't make sense.

    Evangelicals blast any J'lem division

    And in turn both were destroyed far, far worse. That Jersusalem rises again and again and again is testimony to the Mighty Promises of God. He does not forsake His people, though they may go into bondage for a time. That God allowed these things to happen is to His people is by no means an...

    Evangelicals blast any J'lem division

    God will not allow the division of Jerusalem and those nations who curse Israel and the Jewish people are doomed. Both history AND the Bible teach us this. God promised Abraham that his descendants would be fruitful and multiply receiving the lands of milk and honey as their inherritance. God...

    Divorce is incompatible with christianity

    I can't say that whether or not God condones divorce. I know that there are instances of extreme abuse that warrent a wife or husband leaving, if only to protect their children. Its a dangerous thing to say that someone should stick around when they're beaten and degraded every day. I have some...

    the creation story a myth????

    I disagree entirely. For reasons of logic and context if nothing else. If there were a passage of time God would have told us of it. Why would God have waited to continue Creation? This violates the seven day Creation as taught by the Book of Genesis. Since the Bible cannot be both inerrant and...

    Apostasy in the church

    Among the apostate teachings are the so called replacement theology, which makes the erroneous statement that the Church has replaced Israel in God's promises and plans. This fails the test of logic. If God were to break His promise to Abraham concering his descendants then God could break His...

    The Lord Has Shown Me My Error

    So why need the book of Enoch? Isn't that man's teaching? If the Bible is True and inerrant doesn't that also mean that its literal? The meanings of verses and what's being talking about doesn't change midsentence. That wouldn't make any sense and anything being said would lose its context. If a...

    The Lord Has Shown Me My Error

    So let me see if I understand this properly. I need an extra Biblical source to understand the Truth of the Bible? I'm sorry I disagree imensely with that notion. I trust the Word of the Living God and His Word alone. I trust that He has shown me the Truth of it through common sense and logical...

    America Was Not Founded Upon Godly Principles.

    Both types of nations are important. The free nation creates people willing to spread that freedom to others, because we know how important it is. The repressive nation builds Christians without compromise, with the spine and dedication to look evil in the eye with an unflinching heart. Both are...

    The Lord Has Shown Me My Error

    What, precisely, makes you "experts" as you say? How is it that your, and only your, interpretation of scripture is the correct one? Many of us have pointed out the literal, and quite likely most correct, intrepretation that can be made. Maybe its just me but I see a pattern here where any time...

    Mary, Mary quite contrary

    I don't spit on Mary, and I'd like to think that most of us protestants don't. However we don't believe that she was sinless. It is true that she was chosen by God to be the mother of our Lord, Jesus Christ; but he, and he alone, was sinless. She was indeed a very special woman and it is God's...

    the creation story a myth????

    Nice to know you're omnipotent then. It doesn't say that anywhere so express your logic and how you came to that conclusion.
