What does Christ creating the heavens and the earth in 7 days have to do with the plan of redemption? Your assertion was that the first part of Genesis is the basis of the rest spoken of in Matthew 11 and Hebrews 4. The basis of something doesn't need to be identified by something else...

A tryptophan bomb! :Zek:

Back in 2008, I had so much trouble with my neighbors that I finally had to move. Oddly enough, my father had to do the same thing with us in '77. I sympathize greatly. :confused: :)

I thought this might be better addressed here. I'm afraid I understand no such thing at all, Brother David, and I think it would be wise to make a distinction between what I stated exactly and what you propose from Hebrews 4 and Matthew 11, figuratively. Because you certainly can't get the plan...

Praying here, Dev. :praying:

I'm not sure it would be appropriate for me to encourage the continuation of a discussion that was closed in an unrelated thread. I had already made plans to start a new, somewhat similar thread very soon, though. :)

I'm a friend to all who will have me, Amigo. And I need all the friends I can get. Christ seemed to hold onto Judas until he insisted on being let go. I'm really not here for the open "Us-And-Them" tournament. Not sure why I have to keep repeating that. :)

For pondering to take place, there has to be an occasional pause in sermonizing (which I guess I just precipitated). ;)

This reminds me of your very first words to me here ar CyB: "Then carry on, my friend!" :vgood:

@amadeus John, it's testimonies like yours above that make wading through the junk you'll find here worth the effort. We so often argue over trivialities but then while reading your testimony I got a re-realization that, while I've never been involved with Catholicism or Pentecostalism, the...

While I sympathize with your concerns about pluralism, I can't help but wonder if an organized church containing over a billion members that are increasingly 'going their own way' is really any better than folks gathering in smaller groups that hold common beliefs. Is the Catholic church truly...

Would you ever let me forget it, Amigo?

Looks like we've got a pretty hot game of "US-AND-THEM" going here. Time for a break, I guess.

It's the one I did all my memorization with so I'm kinda stuck with it whether I like it or not (which I do ;)).

I probably would have worded it differently if I were addressing you, anyway.

I'm sorry it's not plain to you but I see no contradiction at all, Jim.

I'm sure I haven't any whit as to what thou dost speak. :p

I don't have any issues with anybody, J. Hard to believe, I guess, but I have no skin in the game. All the skin belongs to the LORD Jesus. https://www.ccel.org/ I could save you a lot of time, though. Just learn and do what the "How To Study The Bible" class says a few times until you get the...

Uh, I honestly couldn't think of anything else to say? :p
