When I attended a Catholic service and participated in the Eucharist, it still tasted like the wafer to me. It didn't taste like meat of any kind. So how come, anyone can actually eat Jesus' body and drink His blood, when He is in heaven at the throne of God, and will not return to the earth...

Actually, I am not either a Protestant or a Catholic. I am a Bible believing Christian who doesn't support murder for any reason.

Jesus was right! At the time He said it the hours of daylight between dawn and dusk would have been 12 hours. The context was about the ability to work while it was light and when the darkness comes (ie: the 12 hours between dusk and dawn) no one can work. Of course we have artificial...

OK. Because the Sumerians came well after the creation, it could be argued that because they would have their own creation myths, that the seven day week was a part of it, and so it came as the result of how the world was created in the first place - that they didn't invent the seven day week...

I don't think that these were different gospels in the sense that they did not depart from the need to repent of sin and receive Christ as Saviour and Lord; but it was the gospel adapted to different kinds of hearers. Peter preached the gospel to the Jews, using the Old Testament Scriptures to...

Great! Knowing this, we can resolve difficult passages of Scripture by using other passages of Scripture to interpret, knowing that it is the Holy Spirit who has inspired all of it from Genesis 1 to the end of Revelation. We are able to work out which Scriptures are written for us, for our...

I found out that God had a purpose in creating the cosmos and the world in six days and rested on the seventh when He could have created it in an instant. It is because He set up the seven day week for us. It is why we work for six days and then have a day of rest. It shows that His whole...

I have to respond to this one. I can't help it! If he is barking up a tree, then he must be a product of evolution and that he evolved from a dog and still has some dog genes in him, instead of what Darwin believed that we all evolved from apes. If so, you might have discovered the missing...

You made a really good post and I enjoyed reading it. The science that you are describing is operational science. This is the science that shows how everything works. This is the science that shows the truth of how things happen, through observation and laboratory experimentation...

I find your response very interesting. I thought it was a very simple exercise and not a game. It is a serious look at what exactly is a metaphor compared to straight narrative. I think your real reason is not that you don't know how to answer, but you don't want to because it might reveal...

I do have an M.A. in English so I can recognise a metaphor when I see one. But Genesis 1 is straight narrative from Someone who was there and was an eye-witness of the events. A short lesson in English from an expert (ex-hasbeen; spert=drip under pressure): That fellow barks like a dog -...

The problem is that there are two foundations of belief. 1. The literal Bible which was spoken to holy men who wrote it down as a record of what God said to them directly. 2. Man's view of the history of the origin of the world and the cosmos, involving different forms of evolution and some...

The Bible literally says it, I believe it, and that's it. The Holy Spirit inside of me confirmed it, so I am adamant about it and implacable in my belief that all six days were 24hr days. So any argument against it will be like water off a duck's back! So, bring it on! :-)

I am so glad that I have a very pleasant home with an enclosed section, plenty of Youtube videos to watch, and plenty of good exchanges on this forum to keep me occupied. Plus good companionship with my wife, two cats, and when I am dog-sitting my daughter's pug!

The bottom line is that we believe the Bible as it is literally written, and the God who told Moses what to write. We are not neutral in this, and if we keep to the Bible as our foundation, we will not be defeated no matter what those who choose not to believe the Bible throw at us. But if we...

That's an even greater miracle. God created the whole cosmos and world in 6 sets 12 hrs. Wow!! In every other part of the Bible every reference to a "day" linked with evening and morning is a 24 hour day, and that is consistent with the foremost Hebrew lexicon which definitely says it is a...

We don't really know what the truth is about it. All we know now is to do what we keep to keep ourselves safe. As a 72 year old and in the vulnerable section, my best way to keep myself safe is to stay home and have no visitors. Our whole country is going into lock down for the next four...

You are just repeating yourself, and what Augustine was supposed to have said. Calvin says that there were many documents produced which had the name of Ambrose and Augustine on them, but they were forgeries. So how can we distinguish what Augustine actually said, and what someone else said in...

We don't really know whether it is true or not. Even if it is, and the virus was released accidentally from a Chinese laboratory, will we be hearing China admit to it? Not likely.

You can argue this for ever amen, but I have seen enough genetic evidence that proves that evolution is a fairy tale and those who are dogmatic about are deceived to the point where they are blinded to anything else. It is factual that evolution scientists have cobbled together fragments of...
