FL2, thanks for your reply. But your view of prophecy is based on your assumption that the bible was meant for you? as demonstrated by this response: Your interpretation may make sense to you, but it has no relation to the meaning of the text, and less than no relationship to the context of...

So when Isaiah or Ezekiel prohesized that after the exile, a remnant would return to the land, they weren't refering to what would happen in the next 50-100 years, they were really talking about 1948? 85 generations of people later? If this is what you believe, then please explain to me the...

but, do you agree that post exilic prophesies probably pertained to the return that was imminent when they were written instead of 1948?

FL2 challenged by knowledge of the bible, look at his and compare. We are talking about prophecies in Isaiah regarding the return of the land. He cliams thay they are unfulfilled. "An interesting point of view, if hopelessly flawed. Israel did not return to the region, it remained under Roman...

but the book of revelation is all about the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 by the romans. Thinking that the Bible is meant for you and your day is really a common error. In case you are wondering, "Nero Caesar" in hebrew = 666 using the Jewish gematria method of translating words into...

which countinent was almost destoyed by socialists 60 years ago but continues to elect socialists to their parliments? Don't think it was america.......... We might have stupid people but we don't have stupid ideas!

what does the frequency of church attendence have to do with "being a christian"? October wrote" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is only a simple definition of a true Christian in the Bible; you either are or you aren't...

my input on this thread: I am a Christian because I choose to have faith in Jesus. I believe that my faith makes sense to me, but I can't prove to you that it makes sense to you. I respect all of the other readers of this thread's faith too and hope to learn from it. But I can't let FL2 take...

The Mexican. Only movie I ever ran out of........

did some christian college assign this thread to their apologetics program on march 17th? You guys need to chill with your 50 year old comebacks to evolution. They were only slighltly convincing back then and are totally laughable now. The shroud of turin??? Only a religious fanatic...

didn't the U.N. just kick america off its human rights council and replace it with the Sudan? That's whats wrong with the U.N.

Calm yourself. As a somewhat objective observer, I find I have to side with Polymath. Many of your arguments are creative and valid. Evolution still is a theory and it is entirely appropriate for you to be skeptical and to challenge it. However, you are obviously a lay person in regards to...

I upgraded my system to handle Empire Earth. I thought Civ3 could have been much more enjoyable, and perhaps it will be when its all said and done and patched and rereleased with $20 addon disks which will quickly be made obselete by the release of civ4. 10 reasons why EE kills Civ3...

Read Pitman's "The search for Noah's flood". A pretty convincing, multifaceted study of the colossal flooding of the black sea by the Med. around 5000 B.C. Pitman shows a correlation between groups with languages related to the dispersion caused by this event and similarities in flood myths...

The Mexican. Absolutly unwatchable. I actually was squinting in the darkness trying to read the ingredients on the popcorn bucket just to pass the time.

You caught me..... I should have said "Doesn't the intricacies of the results of the evolutionary process compel you to see a god as its author?" I think that my analogy of paint on a canvas is a good one. Perhaps I am subscribing too mush importance to my own self and my religion is a...

Good point.......But if the portrait concluded that he was a result of the process of painting, wouldn't it be more natural to conclude that there was a painter? What could cause him to conclude that he was the result of chance splashes of paint? And exactly why would he find this to be...

I am responding to some of the general statements above and didn't mean to single you out. I think you have a balanced view that I respect. Voodooace: "I'm more an agnostic than an atheist, I think, but I'lll give you my opinions. When you ask about the developement of the genome and...

I have been arguing for evolution and pointing out that the Bible is not infallible but I have to react to the pro-science myopia in the last couple of posts. "Science = Study, fact." "Religion = Faith, belief." That is an accurate statement in a sense because there is a difference in...
