    Did God put Israel's covenant on hold?

    I wasn't talking about "all things". Just "the law". If there are prophecies that remain to be fulfilled, whether from Moses or the prophets or Psalms, yet "the law" is fulfilled already, Jesus' statement is still valid. It’s later in the same chapter. So you seem to make the case that Paul...

    Speed of light

    We know that the speed of light slows down when it hits denser media. It’s slower in water than in air, and slower in air than in vacuum. So there’s no gaps of darkness due to those changes. I’m not trying to advocate for the speed of light in vacuum (which is the number we usually use for “c”)...

    Did God put Israel's covenant on hold?

    Did they? There question indicated that for 40 days Jesus didn’t teach than anything about the kingdom of Israel, but Christ had been teaching them about something that was the kingdom of God and not of Israel. I don’t disagree that the apostles and other disciples were going to those of Israel...

    Did God put Israel's covenant on hold?

    I guess there's some question as to whether TItus carried off the ark, or just other temple accoutrements. But the temple was certainly destroyed, and with it the levitical sacrificial system stopped. Though I question why you point to a liturgy in just 42 instead of the whole rest of the...

    Did God put Israel's covenant on hold?

    That's not the only verse giving the great commission, just the most well known. Here's another: [Act 1:8 KJV] 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost...

    Show me where there’s a place for God.

    The "miracle" of evolution is a myth - part 1

    Evolution begins with a preconceived notion that God is not involved in creation. That’s where she’s having trouble. She’s trying to insert God into a system that has no place for Him.

    Trump has not conceded

    Parts of his beliefs about Trump may be more deluded than others. There's no path for overturning the electoral college vote at this point, for instance. But the other stuff is not just his beliefs and claims, but an increasing number of people's, including ranking members of legislatures across...

    Trump has not conceded

    Are you mocking a man who admits he was addicted, but has found Jesus Christ and has been delivered from that bondage?

    The "miracle" of evolution is a myth - part 1

    Yes, that’s what we’ve been saying. Alate_One’s preconceived world view can’t handle the in depth explanations given in Genesis, even though they fit the evidence much better than hers. She has to define “kinds” as something that no longer marks a boundary that isn’t crossed naturally, just so...

    Trump has not conceded

    Still working on it. Gaining some steam. I’m sure you will happily accept the results when they are provided, right?

    The "miracle" of evolution is a myth - part 1

    That was substance. There’s just not much more to say than “silly” and “wrong”. Just like there wasn’t any substance to Alate_One’s considerably substanceless conjectures.

    Trump has not conceded

    Wow! You credit Trump with both cancer AND COVID. You must think him quite talented. "the Republican Party may still be able to fill the country's need for a conservative-moderate party that is not off the rails in support of delusional extremism."? Not if they can't figure out how to undo...

    The LORD is not willing that any should perish

    Not just deny, but continue to deny. In other words, God has not granted him repentance unto life, apparently.

    Did God put Israel's covenant on hold?

    I was mainly saying that verse couldn’t be used to show anything about a covenant that was put on hold. But it’s also an odd sentence structure the way NIV and sine others translated it. I agree with you about the NIV.

    Yes, but for the example, it was necessary.

    Speed of light

    I still don't think it works. @Yorzhik mentions it. Assuming the speed of light has never changed, imagine that we, today, see a supernova from a star that is 100,000 light years away. Yesterday, we could still see the star in it's pre-nova state, looking like a normal star. 6000 years ago...

    Speed of light

    The analogy to light being created in place would be if God created Adam with memories of events that never happened. Like his three-year-old birthday party with Grandma baking a cake, and his daddy with the video camera.
