Yes, you got me wrong. How about you try not to analyze me and stay on topic. It doesn't matter what you meant by calling me disingenuous or candid... I am not the topic... I would love to discuss this topic with you and others, but this had to be addressed... otherwise, I won't feel...

DISINGENUOUS: not truly honest or sincere : giving the false appearance of being honest or sincere So I am a tad fake in my sincerity and now lack a grasp of the English language. Anything else you want to tell me about me? I think this is the first time you used ad hominems against me, but...

First, let's start with the term "in My name"... Those aren't magic words that you use to get the genie to grant your wish. The term means that you are asking for something and signing God's name to the request, like signing for a cash withdrawal at your dad's bank because you have the...

There will always be false doctrines, false prophets, and philosophies that take attention away from Jesus. Pseudo science is nothing new. That's why we warned about them in several books of the Bible. We have to pray for those people. They are gullible and vulnerable to predation. And we...

Science has not been able to discredit anything in the Bible related to the creation of the universe. The problems lie in how fallible human thinking can misinterpret what the Bible says. Why is God a lair when humans misinterpret and misunderstand what He says? That doesn't make sense...

Indeed... and when Jesus said, "I and the Father are One" his audience most assuredly knew that He was saying He is God. That's why they immediately picked up rocks to stone Him to death (the penalty for blasphemy) "Is Jesus God?" I had no problem answering that question. The question is clear...

So, how do we define young and old? Do we not refer to something at its beginning stage as being "in its infancy"? And we know everything in the universe evolves over time... So, when God made Adam (as an adult so it seems) he was still a "young" human. There is also evidence that the...

Nothing changes. God never changes. If we determine the earth is or young or eternal, it is OUR thinking that changes, not God's. So, if the world is old, it is not human reasoning that is fallible, but God is a liar???

I agree with you that Young Earth theory is seriously flawed... The Bible is not intended to be a scientific account of the universe's history any way. It is the story of God's relationship with man. I just got through explaining some of this on another thread, including fallaciously using...

If I sent you a survey that you could only answer TRUE or FALSE to, and the question is "Do you think your family is criminal, loving, honest and close?" How would you answer? People might have been ambivalent about how to answer this poorly constructed question on the survey, but when each...

Pretty babies!

Two things: 1) Young earthers claim the earth is only 10,000 years old. The Gallup poll shows, and yes many Christians believe, that humans are only about 10,000 years old, but the earth was here before humans. The people who believe that the earth is only 10,000 years old are a very tiny...

So, does this mean that Christians who live in persistent poverty have not given themselves fully to the Lord??? Is "prosperity of the church" mean loads of money? In 3 John 1:2, "I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers," the word "prosper"...

Ew! Those ARE stupid questions!

One should look into Ken Ham before citing him as a source. He's a media favorite right now (a fad), but it would behoove any of us to research his claims before accepting them. Yes, I am simply making the point that scientists ARE fallible... A good science teacher doesn't just spew the...

I'm a canine behaviorist (among other things!).. I had two boxers, but they have now passed from old age...

I think there's plenty of place for a Christian community in today's society. But why? I think there will always be some sect of separatists, but God expects us to be part of mainstream society, not cut off. People who usually are drawn to communal life are trying to get away from the...

And love the atheist as we love ourselves... :wub: Give them the Truth, and let the Holy Spirit do His job...

1) Concluded? Can you cite a white paper that shows a consensus about the age of the earth? I'm not so sure any conclusions can be made... Science does not make conclusions. It can only support or contradict a hypothesis. Also, many scientists take the word of other scientists who have not...

Galatians 5:19-21 "The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who...
