People also die because of bacteria. It begins killing us the day we're born.

Calvinism.

I honestly believe that Noah was the first man in history to get drunk, having found out the hard way that juice doesn't keep shelf life like it used to.

Don't you sound stupid correcting somebody out of ignorance! Vale means valley, not veil. Those are two different words. I didn't misspell anything and I think you're an example of the woefully deficient state of education and literacy in Canada. And if you think I'm insulting you, you just...

Why don't you start with Hebrews 10:25, and when you line up your life with that verse, we can proceed to other things. Until you go to church and submit yourselves to imperfect, earthly authority as God commands, you have little in common with the rest of us who have.

The millennium? Speaking of really bad doctrines..... Jesus told Dismas (the thief on the cross) that he would be together with him that day in paradise. The problem from my view is that everyone thinks their view of eternal life is unassailable, but it's so easy to shoot holes right through...

I keep trying to get Protestants to understand sitz im leben but to no avail. You certainly explain it well, but I'm afraid it's still lost on our friends here.

You and I both agree that God has been loving and merciful in both the Old and New Testament. I've seen this from your previous posts. Even in the case of S&G which you referred to, you argued that people draw the wrong lessons from the destruction of those cities and I agree. A little mystic...

When you first criticized the common belief that we go directly to heaven after dying, I thought you were going in a completely different direction, something having to do with the time sequence by which all men are judged at the same time, the dead in Christ raised to eternal life and all...

Unfortunately, the history of Christianity is replete with examples of wimpiness with devastating consequences. Rather than go over the whole list, I'll just point out a couple that have had tragic, lasting effects. The first is the Western Church's failure to defend Constantinople when it was...

The passage of Genesis 6:3 is at least very controversial because even your interpretation runs into problems in that Noah was 500 years old when God spoke to him and 600 years old when the flood came, not quite 120 years. Couple this with the fact that lifespans began to dramatically decline...

Hi Jack, I think Hebrews 11 gives a very comprehensive teaching on the meaning of faith, but perhaps I'm not understanding the question correctly. Could you specify more what you're looking for?

I don't know if I agree with that, Jack. Considering the covenant was made between Abraham and God and the sign of the covenant, circumcision, was conducted by Abraham on all his family and male servants, I'd say they were more Jewish than anyone. That's the very essence of the Jewish...

That post was not at odds with what you were saying. Quite the opposite, it was affirming your post. Try reading it again and stop being so defensive.

People were living over 900 years. They weren't having children before the age of 50 which suggests that even childhood lasted several decades. Yes they lived a normal lifespan, but normal changed after the Flood, as God commanded that man's years would not exceed 120. Do you really see the...

You opened that door, not me. You're the one who revealed that you don't even have a church, meaning no church is good enough for you. I remarked that this is a trait associated with cults, that all the churches are teaching error and should be abandoned and shunned. Such groups form their own...

We have different definitions of intent. For instance, the felony murder rule which many states has passed, makes it an automatic 1st degree murder charge if anyone dies as a result of a felony, whether their death was intended or not. Rob a liquor store, you're already being charged with...

What's yours? To follow the media's lead?

It's disease. Ultimately what kills us is the millions of bacteria that assault us even from the day we're born. Many things changed after the flood. People started eating meat because plants were no longer sufficient. Grape juice could no longer be kept in pitchers unrefrigerated, it...

Funny, even cute, how you acknowledge that people are always missing your point and then assume the problem is with us. You still haven't developed the OP.
