(tim_from_pa;56749) a) Then ask yourself this. If the city was to be built the first 7 weeks, you think that's literal? Even someone making a bogus prophecy would not make such a ridiculous claim and suggests that 7 weeks stands for another period of time. Am I to understand that you are...

(tim_from_pa;56733) Now, for the first half. There is nothing wrong with my calculations. As a matter of fact, I derived them myself and to my surprise it agreed with others later on when I compared them. The whole pivotal point of your argument is whether or not there is a 360-day prophetic...

(tim_from_pa;56607) The God of the bible wants one to dig a little instead of being indulged like a slob or spoiled brat fed everything on a proverbial silver platter. Does the God of the bible mention anything about treating other people with some common decency, perchance? I don't recall ever...

I know this sounds like a silly question. But I actually consider it tremendously important.Almost every attempt to render Christian theology consistent requires extensive cross-referencing of the bible. For instance, in one case I saw someone attempt to justify gap creationism by filling a hole...

(HillTop;56001) What is blatantly obvious, first of all, is that you are an incredibly articulate person with a high level of intelligence. Majoring (and excelling) in Philosophy is a notable feat in itself, and I admire that. Thank you very much.(HillTop) I can now only pray that God will open...

(Alanforchrist;55927) God has great pleasure in blessing his people with, Health wealth and abundant life. If he likes it so much don't you think he would do it more often? Health, wealth and abundant life are in short supply around the world.

(Alpha and Omega;55815) Please take the time to watch these videos it'll take about 20 min or so.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7cMEdChiXAhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsHCzm037V0http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UfkAuE45s4 Those videos are loading really slowly. Can you just summarize the...

(Wakka;55828) The problem is that our finite minds aren't able to comprehend it. This argument has always puzzled me. It is a straight-faced admission that God as the creator of the universe does not actually have any explanatory value. It is the explanatory equivalent of admitting that you...

First of all, you seem to have misread this subforum's title. This is a subforum in which Christians offer answers to non-Christians...not the other way around. Posing "challenges" to the non-Christians who frequent this section is hardly the most hospitable atmosphere.But I'll indulge you.The...

(Alpha and Omega) well you will have to back that up (persecutor) because I have never came across anything like that written about Paul. LOL invented doctrine let's just see how silly this sounds.....invent something and then go to the grave preaching it when you can live a peaceful life...

(waquinas;55734) Am also thinking the fallacy of inference does not apply in this case, not the way normal attributes of things could apply. The cause of the universe must lie outside the set that is the universe, not as a part of it. Cause is something external to a thing, not a part of it...

(Alpha and Omega;55731) yes that is what I am saying. According to the Bible there are 3 earth ages we are in the 2nd right now. The first was with all the animals that we see in the geological record. Now I could explain it but there is just too much information there to say in one post. Here...

(Alpha and Omega;55715) There is no gap in those passages so you wouldn't see it. The gap is in between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 Explain to me exactly how that implies a gap?(Alpha and Omega) It states that the animals created in the seven days of creation are created after their kinds...

(Alpha and Omega;55707) So you are making me seem like the bad guy because someone else falsifies something? No, it is because you took a quote from darwinismrefuted.com and then implied that Peter Grant actually shared that view by citing his paper, rather than the site itself as the...

(Alpha and Omega;55694) Well faith is important because it really is the only way for us to know God. In the present day anyway. However we do have faith in everyday aspects of our lives. You trust your partner not to cheat on you right? Just like my boss has faith in me that the work will get...

(Alpha and Omega;55693) I wasn't honest? Why because I didn't check up on the quotes provided? I didn't distort anything. How exactly was I compromising my integrity? The entirety of the quote which you provided - the one which talked about "mythicization by evolutionists" - is nowhere to be...

(Alpha and Omega;55671) H. Lisle Gibbs and Peter R. Grant, "Oscillating selection on Darwin's finches," Nature, 327, 1987, pp. 513; For more detailed information, please see Jonathan Wells, Icons of Evolution, 2000, pp. 159-175. Tsk, tsk. Shouldn't you be concerned, if not for the integrity of...

(Alpha and Omega;55661) How much faith does that take exactly? I suppose you would like something like the Bible claiming there would be an earthquake on January 10, 2009 in South Africa and then it happened right? That would certainly do quite a bit to convince me, yes, though that's not the...

(Alpha and Omega;55662) I've read different Could you provide a source for that? The only source I see cited in that is a from Peter and Rosemary Grant, two evolutionary biologists who are ardent proponents of evolution and whose works specifically detail how new species arise, that acknowledged...

(Alpha and Omega;55643) O really?Luke 24:36-53John 20:24-31 My mistake. Curious, though, that that's not the way that Mark tells it.http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?searc...16;&version=31;Note that the most reliable, ancient manuscripts do not feature Mark 16:9-20 - the section in which the...
