Have you read all of the leading Christian authors I mentioned to know why they believe in an old earth creation? You should have to consider their reasons before concluding 'they are deceived by lies'. Counting all the genealogies does not help in arriving at the age of the earth because there...

Your predictions are based on your calculations. We'll know in 2027 if your calculations/predictions are correct. This writer contends that Jesus' Second Coming will be in the period, 2030-2040. Why should I believe your calculation over this person's prophecy?

DP, That's not true with testing of an hypothesis relating to history. There cannot be 'real proof' of my 'own witness' of Jesus' life, death and resurrection because I was not there in person in the first century to provide my own witness. I was not in Australia in 1770 to witness Captain...

If I'm alive in 10 years time, I'll be able to check if you are a true prophet with your 2027 AD prediction of Jesus' second coming.

It is factually untrue that 'knew' in these 3 verses means 'experience'. We'll use just one of these verses to demonstrate that context indicates the true meaning of 'knew'. In Gen 4:1, whatever Adam and Eve did in the knowing, it caused Eve to conceive and bear a son. Here are 3 dynamic...

That's a young earth creationist viewpoint. There are many evangelicals, including Norman Geisler, Gleason Archer, Billy Graham, Walter Kaiser, and Hugh Ross, who support an age of the earth that is much older than 6000 years.

DP, According to Oxford dictionaries online, dialectic means, 'The art of investigating or discussing the truth of opinions' (2017. s v dialectic). Isn't that what we are attempting to do on CyB? I'm trying to investigate opinions expressed to arrive at the truth or to falsify a position. What...

christiang, That's quibbling and being pedantic. Days and hours extend to years. Nobody knows the time of the Lord's return, except the Father. That's Bible. There's no more 'unlearning' for me to do as Scriptures are clear in Mark 13:32: '"But as for that day or hour no one knows it--neither...

christiang, If Jesus didn't know the time of his return, only the Father knew, why are you speculating? 'However, no one knows the day or hour when these things will happen, not even the angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows' (Mark 13:32 NLT). See: If Jesus was God, why...

So what changes the meaning of the text from, say, AD70 to 2017? Seems to me that your worldview is that of postmodern deconstruction. What is postmodern deconstruction? Derrida concluded further that words and sentences have no inherent meaning. He insisted that human beings construct reality...

That is dealing with word meanings and not Hebrew or Greek grammar.

Who are these "men more learned" than Arndt & Gingrich (lexicon), Thayer (lexicon), and Kittel & Friedrich (in-depth Greek word studies), to whom you can turn? If you don't read and understand Hebrew and Greek grammar, how can you decide for yourself what is an accurate meaning for these...

bb, Your quote from me was only an example of one leading postmodern deconstructionist, Foucault, and his methodology. Oz

bb, Hebrew and Greek lexicons do not teach grammar that would enable you to translate from Hebrew/Aramaic and Greek into English. Therefore, your statement in #53 has no basis in reality for you to translate, with your statement: 'wherein we might see how even translations lend themselves to...

bb, Please tell me what 'deconstructionist ref' I made, to which you refer from my post. Oz

bb, So are you fluent in the biblical languages of Hebrew and Aramaic for the OT and Greek for the NT, to be qualified to discuss what translations, translators and scribes do to translate the Bible from these original languages into English? Oz

I hope you understand that that statement gives us a perspective on your theology - yes, you as a human being teach theology on CFnet. Do you want us to read what you say and consider its content?

The closest I lived to NY was Ashland OH, old order Amish country, and a couple visits to NY were enough. Oz

yeah and nah were shipped Down Under. Was that by Columbus? See HERE. 'Yah know' is the one that gets on my goat! Oz
