I just find it hard to believe that anyone who claims to be a Christian would blatantly deny the clear evidence that I have given from the bible, and in return offer absolutely NONE!! Freak has done both, as well as many others who 'claim' to be believers. Again, there is no such thing as schizophrenia and if you believe that there is, you are wallowing in deception. You are denying the gospel of Christ, and calling God a liar.
I used to be impressed by all the 'scientific' dating methods until I finally looked into the subject in detail. It amazed me how people could delude themselves so badly. Thus, I finally concluded that there is no real reason to doubt the veracity of the Genesis narrative regarding a short age for the Earth and probably the universe as well.
But dishonesty should not be susprising -- the whole reason they push evolution is to exclude a Creator who has given us absolute moral laws (e.g. against dishonesty).
The Ten Commandments are blasphemy to a liberal because they... demand worship of only the Creator God of Scripture... Right there in the Ten Commandments is a divine command to keep an independence of church and state...
[Arguing against theistic evolution]And this overlooks the fact that evolution is a wasteful, cruel and inefficient process... and there is loads of death and suffering.
But all you are saying is that the majority finds human to animal sex objectionable. Well the majority finds homosexual marriage objectionable. So I guess you are with us on the gay marriage thing...
But strangely, compared with other A[ncient]N[ear]E[ast] literature, look how much [absurd stories] isn't in the Bible (pace Von Daniken!!). Only two animals speaking. Only once the sun standing still, and once going back. Only one flood. A rather muted Resurrection account.
In fact, a lot of reputable creation scientists (YEC and OEC alike) will admit when they've made a mistake, unlike anti-theistic scientists...
Opposition to civil rights is a good thing though. Their only mistake is that they applied it to race rather than subcultures. Separate, uglier and dirtier drinking fountains for liberals instead of blacks would have done wonders for society.
I've always wondered why a couple of bears mauling some kids is such a big deal with skeptics. I admit it is awful - the mindset that G_d isn't allow to judge people is incomprehesible to me.
There are many proven miracles. Go into any christian book shop and you will see books testifying to them.
What I am implying is that by forcing homosexuality into the 'norm', homosexuals have opened the door for a multitude of other abnormal behaviors, including pedophilia. And if you think it could never happen, it was accepted practice in greece for a LONG time. I'm sure you're proud to help out your NAMBLA brethren.
But I thought all 'atheists' were against capital punishment?
Well when I was not a theist I did pretty much whatever I wanted, ie sleep with as many women as I wanted etc. If I stopped believing in objective moral values I would definitely start doing that one again if I thought that any feeling of it being wrong was just an illusion. Just being honest.
[After posting the above]First, it is inappropriate for you to dismiss the [conservative] theologians I mention out of hand. You admittedly know nothing about them. I’ve debated quite a bit, but you have shown me a new tactic that I won’t forget (albeit a poor one): discrediting my sources out of hand while deifying your own sources.
I believe that witchcraft is real. Before I came to the Lord I practiced black magic, mind control and transcendental meditation... All of these powers are linked directly to demonic spirits. I had actual conversations with demons.
Hence, [St.] Augustine was able to believe, despite what scripture says, that God created all things instantaneously. Once a person goes that far in his 'interpretations' he might as well join Bishop Spong in that person's assertion that 'the only part of the Apostle's Creed I believe is that Jesus Christ died and was buried'. With Christian 'friends' like that who needs enemies?
God did not take the lives of the Egyptian firstborn unjustly and no one can argue that He didn't give them plenty of warning.
so what the fact is its not right people should not allowed to do things that are not right ....and they deffinetly should be able to feel pain if they get pregnant contraceptives should not be allowed...
fox news is fair and balance it supports both liberal and conservative viewpoints equally and it shows how liberal leaning other outlets are twilly spree you are supporting the death of thousand of children repent or suffer the dire consequences
This means that a person who believes we descended from apes or that all life came from a primitive protocell is inventing their own private version of Christianity which in a technical sense is not the Christianity of the Bible. This does not mean that their belief in Jesus Christ will not save them. It simply means that they are compromising with the world and in that sense could be said to not be genuine Christians.
i dont beleive in greek i beleive in english but there is no undisputed translation even the original greek is fought over so why should i spend more time... when you got hell for being homosexaul what will you do then...
...most evolutionists are too intellectually lazy and dishonest to represent their opponents correctly...
You didn't expect me to be 'sexist' and reply in a different manner to your silly attack because you're female (and likely blonde) did you? And under your evolutionary system, why not be sexist? Darwin and most of his evolutionary contemporaries were very sexist. Conversely, the Biblical Christianity is the only philosophy that has provided true liberation for women, but you come here to attack it.
One day an anti-creationist might surprise us all and actual respond to an actual argument instead of a straw man.
[After ancient Sumerian secular marriages are mentioned]if it were a ecenomic arragment it wouldnt be called marriage
God does not, nor will not use medication to heal fear, depression, hopelessness, or to bring peace, and your proclamation that He does only solidifies the fact that you believe in another God, and another Jesus.
mhm gay marriage is not a right marriage is a religious thing your yourself being a atheist should have no want for anything to do with marriage you being a atheist should know that homosexaulity makes those people not causing population so they should deserve no rights....
Gallup's 1991 poll showed that 95% of scientists (including non-biologists) accept evolution, with biologists above 99%.
You realize this is classic argumentum ad populum, don't you?
Christianity is growing rapidly in places like Asia and Africa. Atheism is irrational, illogical, incoherant and existentially self-destructive.
The gospels aren't good evidence of Jesus' life and death? Saying it doesn't make it so. Prove ithat the gospel accounts aren't historically reliable..
Because there is so much evidence for His existence (and also His Resurrection btw) that to question it is comparable to questioning the existence of JFK.
Whether some [old earth] creationists 200 years in the past came to the wrong conclusion about the age of the Earth has no bearing on the truth of the matter.
Are you going to argue that these people [the Apostles] DIED terrible deaths based on some second hand information that they couldn’t verify? Please.
I believe that witchcraft is real. Before I came to the Lord I practiced black magic, mind control and transcendental meditation... All of these powers are linked directly to demonic spirits. I had actual conversations with demons.
Atheists See No Problem With Human To Animal Sex
If God is our creator shouldn't he have ultimate authority over how long someone is in Hell? You or I may not like it but that doesn't matter... I personally think that if God said to me that he changed his mind and all Christians are going to Hell as well as non-believers I think he is just to do so. Am I an evil man for thinking that?
C'mon all you God forsaking faithless 'Christians', dispute my evidentiary post that clearly proves God's claims [that medication shouldn't be taken for mental illness]. I realize the bible is not enough of a source, but lets try and humor God for a minute and see if He knows anything about the heart & mind!
Not necessarily, because freshwater is less dense and is KNOWN to be able to float on saltwater for a long time.
To approve one sexual abomination is to give way on all... I am also frightened by a few small interest groups of no morality whatever, who can't figure out what their sex organs are designed for, who are morally degraded at worst or meentally ill at best imposing their world view.
Deuteronomy 22:13-21 is about the punishments for a wife being promiscuous before marriage [stoning] and a husband lying about it. Of course, the skeptics' anachronistic objection here is that... such punishments are considered 'unfair' or 'cruel.'
A monkey brain is a monkey brain and a human brain is a human brain. I have seen no evidence that a monkey brain is evolving into a human brain.
Simply adopting the values you find around you is a pretty irrational way to determine what the universe is, how we should live, etc. Atheists would make good Nazis; good communists; good little anythings, really. What they don't do is adopt a rational evaluation of all this.
If you mean, why have no mammals been found in the Cambrian strata, they must have not lived in there or they did not fossilize.
[Replying to 'you need serious help']If you are serious, it only means that you are a bigot
For example, without Scripture you have no way of determining the nature of the universe.
Psalm 139:13 finds David specifically stating that God knits us together in our mother's womb. This is clearly an statement against any theistic version of evolution. How can humans be knitted together in the womb is we evolved from lower life forms?
It isn't surprising though. The atheist knows without evolution they have no argument. So they will freely pervert science and ad hom the critics because they can't silence them any other way.
Also, evolution undermines the biblical teaching that humanity is ONE RACE because we are all descended from Adam...
Atheism... How unoriginal. How easy. One can believe in nothing or anything. Nothing to defend, everthing to defend. Backed into a logical corner - change your position or deny the laws of logic... They worship the scientific priest class and call themselves free thinkers. Free thinkers who are bound by cultural bias and their own uninformed and small world. Yet they rail against anything that does not conform to their small mindedness. No hope and nothing beyond the material. Yes the easiest world view ever invented by man,but also the saddest...
