Keep2theCode User ID: 20545539 United States 09/10/2012 10:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A few problems: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16474268 The Bible clearly teaches death and corruption are a consequence of original sin. Everything was "perfect" before original sin. God would have had no reason to "reform" the material world prior to sin. The Bible clearly demonstrates that only a few thousand years have elapsed since Day 1. The only way to make room for millions of years prior to the creation of Man is to insert the gap theory, which brings us back to the circular argument that if you believe the Biblical account, you can't have death before sin. If you don't believe the Bible clearly on that issue, then why believe anything else. Either Moses and the Prophets and Christ told the truth, or they lied. Exactly! I'll never understand how people can write off large and important sections of scripture but still believe Jesus rose from the dead. I've never seen them give logical, consistent arguments for rejecting Creation Week but accepting the Resurrection. Of course, this is not to say that some parts of the Bible make it clear that they are allegories; even Jesus told parables. As I said earlier, the Bible is a collection of many writings using various genre, and Genesis is not written as a moral tale but as historical fact. The Ten Commandments give a literal creation week as the reason for honoring one day out of seven, and Jesus likened himself to Adam-- so if Adam was fictional, so was Jesus. They can't have it both ways. Last Edited by Keep2theCode on 09/10/2012 10:44 AM Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth? (Gal. 4:16) |

Everything was perfect before Satan sinned, then satan was cast down and corrupted the original earth and the animals (first age). God destroyed it with ice and darkness.......and recreated it and added mankind (second age). Then man sinned and sin and corruption entered into the world again. God destroyed it again with the flood......but saved one family to continue the human race (third age). Corruption entered into the world again, and Jesus came and gave us a choice between life and death, a new creation in Christ. The end of this age is coming to a close, and it will be with fire this time, the final time and the earth will be made new again. "Behold I see a new heavens and new earth, I make all things new" Read the highlighted link above for a complete study on the topic. There is so much material to cover, I can't do it in one paragraph. |

John 3:13 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 23517066 LOL. And what do these people say about those that claim they have been to heaven. Seems god changed his mind or the people are lying or the bible is lying. Which is it? Jesus ascended into heaven first, then others could too. Nobody went to heaven before Jesus. Some people just like to post one verse to try and confuse others when they don't understand what the scripture means. So heaven is just 2 thousand plus years old?? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22776871 and 2. was this bible written on hearsay can anything be proved that was written in it? The original family were told by God to marry and reproduce. It's not the same as today as we think of incest. It was permitted at that time so the world could be populated, and their gene pool wasn't contaminated like ours is today. Awan was Cain's sister, she was born to Adam and Eve. You can do a google search on the Bible and read alot of info, that would be a completely different topic and a whole thread unto itself. |

Each year some new doctor (and using the word doctor validates it and makes it real because we should trust doctors) of religion comes up with a new interpretation to fill in a gaping hole in this planets past or a misunderstood text. The mind control is failing, cut your loses while the going is good greedy men of Religion. Religion is falling like all great empires fall. The human mind is awakening, becoming self aware, it doesnt need guidance and control anymore. Disappear into your place in the record books of history, leave these free thinking beings alone to find their own path now. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 23436811 United States 09/10/2012 10:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Many church pastors would have you believe the Behemoth in Job 40 is a hippo. It is a dinosaur with a tail the size of a tree, not the little curly tail that a hippo has. Job 40 15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox. 16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly. 17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together. 18 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron. |

Contaminated by sin and the results of sin. Sin comes in many forms, and it's consequences also come in different forms. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22776871 I always get a kick out of people saying they don't believe anything without proof. EVERYONE does that at some point or another. And part of it is because the proof they demand of others is always a lot more rigorous than what they accept for themselves. I'm not saying this because I think we're going to settle the proof issue here and now, but just to point out the obvious. Disbelief is as much a matter of "faith" as belief.

The face on Mars and the face on the Sphinx are one and the same THE FACE OF LUCIFER THE ARCHANGEL? Atlantis,Lemuria,reptilians,the pyramids were all from the time of lucifers earthly kingdom before the fall. All these different creations were in lockstep under their archangel governor of the solar system. When they were destroyed along with him they became the disembodied spirits known today as demons. The huge canyon across the face of mars was created when a moon sized chunk slammed into it from Tiamat/Rahab lucifers capital planet after it was destroyed by the Godhead. |
