    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...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    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...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    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)...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    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...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    As I said, it makes no difference to the argument that God does not have any blood. It should say "He" or "who", or "He who". 1 Timothy 3:16 (ESV): (16) Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    No way! Whether an English translation of the Bible renders John 4:24 as "spirit" or "a spirit" is irrelevant to the argument, as in either case, spirit or a spirit, it does not have any blood. The Pulpit Commentary says: God is Spirit (Πνεῦμα ὁ Θεός; cf. John 1:1, Θεὸς η΅ν ὁ Λόγος, - the...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    But God is spirit (John 4:24) - He doesn't have any blood; blood is part of God's physical creation. As you said in post #389, "There is no blood in a born again Spirit". The blood that Adam had was perfect blood, but it was not God's blood. Although Luke 3:38 says that Adam was the son of...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    I did not admit that I do not understand those verses. You're lying! I knew my mother, and I could explain to you what she was like, but that does not mean that I am my mother. Likewise, Jesus said he knew his Father, and he revealed to his disciples what his Father, who was also his God, was...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    I quoted (included) 19 verses of the Bible in my last post - that was more lines of Scripture than lines which I wrote. I try to reveal the truth from God's written word to us by quoting that written word, unlike many on this forum who just say what they think with very little, or no, support...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    No I personally didn't say that. I was quoting the words of Jesus, so it was Jesus who said that - Matthew 19:26 (WEB): (26) Looking at them, Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Jesus was answering the disciples' question, "Who then can be saved?"...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    Yes, it's certainly possible ("with God all things are possible" - Matthew 19:26). After all, "now are we the sons of God" (1 John 3:2). However, God chose that Jesus should have preeminence in all things (Colossians 1:18), and that initially we should come to know more about God through Jesus.

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    I'll have to decline discussing it further, as it is a policy of this forum to refrain from discussing the Trinity. All I can do is point you to posts that have not been deleted, such as the thread A Curious Question For Non-Trinitarians (a closed long thread of 1,773 posts!), in which I wrote...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    There are many translations which are acceptable - it's just the translation you quoted (whatever that was) that has inserted words that shouldn't be there, which I dislike. Translations that use Son rather than God, such as the KJV: (18) No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten...

    Why are Bible scholars leaving Christianity?

    I am not going down that path again (we're not supposed to discuss it in this forum!). Notice the "I am" - it doesn't mean that I am (there it is again!) God! ;) :jest:
