I just did! I mean I just did precisely that in the exact same post you just quoted from! Are you just playing idiotic games here or what? Last chance Doug. If you want me to take you even a little tiny bit seriously then you'll respond to the scriptures that I and others have already...

Bladerunner, Do yourself a favor and don't respond to this post until you've read the end of it. In fact, just skip down there now and read it first so that you aren't forced to spend two hours writing a mile long response to this whole monstrosity. I've been here for more than two decades and...

I'm a little surprised that more people don't suspect that you and I are the same person!

So, I missed this post when you first posted it and noticed it because Right Divider quoted from it earlier today and I want to respond to it because I would consider this to be an actual argument you've presented here and since I'm all the time preaching that people should make arguments and...

Well, that isn't a money issue so much as it's an honesty issue. Perhaps you could say it was a greed issue. I'd completely agree that such decision making is foolish and even antithetical to the whole mindset that scientists are supposed to have.

Why do you suppose that John the Baptist, while he was still in the womb, leaped for joy when Mary who was pregnant with Jesus came close? Luke 1:41 And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42...

You think that's a bad thing?

This is so true! Believe it or not, I sometimes find myself giving scientists a bit of a pass on this though because it truly is human nature for this sort of institutionalization to happen. I mean, there are people who's true calling in life is to be a scientist and the system as it exists...

This statement was an intentional lie. Who are you trying to convince? A doctrine is only blasphemous when it insults the character of God. You cannot point to a single time when any doctrine has been called blasphemous for another reason. Probably by people who have no authority to actually...

No, you couldn't! I mean, you could say it, but saying it doesn't make it so! There is the plain reading and then there are interpretations. They aren't the same thing.

Who give a damn about Harvard? Then they're as stupid as you are, Lon! ' No, the rebuttal was the very next sentence, MORON! You're the one wasting everyone's time with literal stupidity. If you don't like me pointing it out then I invite you to leave. I wasn't giving an opinion. I was...

Oh yes! I remember it as if it happened yesterday! Here's the WHOLE argument.... "Water baptism isn't necessary for salvation because there are two parallel passages... "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life." (John 6:47) "He who believes and is baptized...

Such a critically important distinction to make! (y)

Quite so! The "seed plot" of the bible starts practically from page one presenting a God that learns and changes His mind and gives people privacy and all sorts of things that would crack Aristotle's god into a million little tiny pieces.

I grew up as a Christian. I was baptized the Sunday before Easter when I was in the third grade, which ChatGPT tells me was March 23, 1975. That's coming up on exactly 50 years ago! Wow! Throughout my childhood and young adult years, I attended so-called "Christian Churches" (e.g., Memorial...

Typical Calvinist blasphmeny. "We can trust God because He is arbitrary and because He cheats and because He can't change. If God was capable of learning, He'd betray us for sure!" Why anyone accepts that blasphemous crap, I will never understand!

You may be posturing but I most certainly am not. TIme is NOT ontological. The only people who say otherwise have either a Einsteinian or Augustinian reason for doing so. Stipidity. Literal drooling down your chin stupidity! Guess what, Lon! God is real and as such He is bound inexorably to...

Not just early Genesis, but all of Genesis and right through the entire bible.

I was hoping that was the case! :cool:

There is no such animal, in Africa or anywhere else. Any example you've been shown is a malformation of something like an Oryx or something like that.
