What would you call it then if God made to look older than it wasn't? And what purpose would this serve?

That doesn't make much sense. Why would God create an illusion that the earth is older than it is? I tend to belive mankind is relatively young but the earth is older. How old? I don't know. But I question carbon dating as it persumes the rate of decay has been constant throughout time, which...

Why is it so hard to belive that they would marry Jews? The U.S. has the second highest Jewish population, after all. Mitch McConnell married an Asian, should we infer something from that? Actually, a stronger case could be made that China controls the U.S.\World. So, answer me this if Israel...

My thought is, why do they care so much about something they don't belive in? I've often wondered if atheism could survive without theism. Athemism is basically the anthesis of thesism. Without theism, atheism loses its foil, its reason for being.

Dubious quote. Here's another: "Don't believe everything you read on the internet." -Abraham Lincoln.

How could you not know the exact hour? Matthew 24:29-31 says Jesus returns "immediately after the tribulation". If you know the Great Tribulation is 3.5 years and begins with the Abomination of Desolation and the death of the two witnesses, you CAN know when the tribulation ends and when the...

I don't agree with Hugh on every single thing. For instance, he believes Noah's flood was local and not global. Okay, I disagree but no need to throw the baby out with the bath water. None of us are going to agree on everything 100% and that's okay. He has a lot of good info from a scientific...

Science was born in Christian West (and maybe because of it). Many of the early scientists were Christian (Pascal, Galileo, Isaac Newton, etc.). True science is just the study of the natural world. The bible deals with the supernatural world. They deal with two seperate domains and thus...

AI is a tool, and like any tool, it can be used for either good or evil. Knowing man's fallen nature, it will most assuredly be used for evil. I strongly suspect the image of the beast will be at least partly AI.

Whose going to populate the earth then in the millennial reign? When we are raptured we are changed from mortal to immortal. Those that took the Mark of the Beast will be removed. So, whose left?

Yes, you could. The two witnesses minister for 3.5 years then the anti-Christ comes to power for 3.5 years. They are both specfic time markers. If the Second Coming proceeds those latter 3.5 years, you would have a pretty good idea when it it occurs if you're still around. It sure wouldn't be a...

What exactally is the purpose of a post-trib rapture? To go up and come back down? And who will be left to rapture? The Anti-Christ overcomes the saints and kills them. One big problem with the post-trib rapture is Jesus said, “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of...

This woman went to my church, and I've met her son too, so I know this story is 100% true: I've also seen my nephew healed from kidney failure in a miraculous way. I know healing can happen.

There is an idea that they didn't go straight to heaven prior to the resurrection. There is the belief they went to Abraham's bosom, a good side partitioned off in hell for the Old Testament saints. That comes from the story of the rich man and Lazarus. I'm not definitively saying that's what...

Really, it hasn't been about that (or just about that) for a very long time. It's morphed into Frankenstein's monster. Modern feminism is anti-men, anti-God, and anti-family. Third wave feminism is basically repackaged Marxism.

Welcome aboard. We all have a measure of faith, whether atheist, theist, or whatever. We all believe in something that we can't definitively prove. I think it comes down to what we choose to believe in, and it is a choice. You can have all the evidence in the world and still not believe...

I'm part of the first generation of gamers. I grew up on Atarai and Nintendo. I still like gaming though I just don't have much time these days. When I'm 70, if I get there, I'll still be playing games.

The gift of salvation is unconditional, it doesn't require any of those things. There are, however, good reasons to do those things. It's not just a gift, it's also a choice. Choose you this day life or death. It's not extortion to tell someone the consequences of their actions And what is the...

Hello and welcome. I'm new here too.
