    Where are the Dead?

    Do not interpretations belong to God? (Genesis 40:8) No prophecy of Scripture springs from any private interpretation. For prophecy was at no time brought by man’s will, but men spoke from God as they were moved by holy spirit. (2 Peter 1:20, 21) There are no private interpretations here. There...

    Where are the Dead?

    That scripture says "the dead are raised up" Not dead bodies are raised up. I am already familiar with the scriptures that, speak of the resurrection of the dead. For example, (1 Corinthians 15:35-38) 35 Nevertheless, someone will say: “How are the dead to be raised up? Yes, with what sort of...

    Worldview

    I did not call your initial question a strawman. ...and no. A straw man is not just you avoiding answering somebody else’s question. That's being evasive. You said it yourself. A straw man argument is when the person avoids the opponent's actual argument and instead argues against an inaccurate...

    Abraham failed the test.

    Reading this article, the motive for the forgeries, seems to be, "it's easier to forge a text that has no support, no witnesses, and gives clear evidence of being spurious. Why would the book of Jasher cover the creation of man? When was it written? I don't know about you, but I think trusting...

    Abraham failed the test.

    That would be not help. What is significant, is this. This is one of the apochrypal Books of Jasher. There are several (as many as five) separate works by this title, all composed much later than Biblical times. Even if you compared what we have today, you still wouldn't be able to know what...

    Worldview

    ...and there is the clincher. I can give you examples of world-views which are not necessarily religious (in the traditional sense referred to) such as communism, Nazism, nihilism, pacifism etc. MO confirmed. Equating religion with opinion, and trying to contrast atheistic worldviews with...

    Answer given. Ahem. First attempted strawman. Strawman burned. Okay. Seems to have accepted the loss of the stawman. Oops. :facepalm: I spoke too soon. Second attempted strawman. Do I need to point out the others. There are too many. Yes, you avoided the opponent's actual argument and...

    Abraham failed the test.

    Nothing original exists today, unless it's preserved in stone. The Book of Jasher (also spelled Jashar; Hebrew: סֵפֶר הַיׇּשׇׁר sēfer hayyāšār), which means the Book of the Upright or the Book of the Just Man, is a lost book mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, often interpreted as a lost...

    Is that the 18th century A.D forgery, and spurious writing you are quoting?

    Worldview

    When I have opinions, they are not my worldview. For example, I think blue and black makes a good combination. That's my opinion. Is it a worldview? No. Character A : "Hey, that dress looks nice on you." Character B : "I think not." Character A : "Well, that's your opinion. I have a different...

    It's called building a strawman. "Let me see if I can build this strawman, that I can knock down... Ha Ha. Gotcha religious people. Ha!"

    Opinions, views, ideas... These all make up your :D worldview.

    Abraham failed the test.

    This is a good point. God illustrated to Abraham what was required for all mankind to be saved - the sacrifice of his own son, who submitted to God's will. Abraham and Isaac didn't fully understand the significance, but the knew that God's purpose is always for the good of those that love him...

    Abraham failed the test.

    Excellent! This was an ultimate test of faith. Abraham trusted that God is righteous. Abraham had faith in God's stated promise. (Genesis 21:12) . . .Then God said to Abraham: “Do not be displeased by what Sarah is saying to you about the boy and about your slave girl. Listen to her, for what...

    What a worldview is. That too, is due to having a worldview.

    A worldview or a world-view or Weltanschauung is the fundamental cognitive orientation of an individual or society encompassing the whole of the individual's or society's knowledge, culture, and point of view. A worldview can include natural philosophy; fundamental, existential, and normative...

    Where are the Dead?

    @Hockeycowboy I find it interesting how a person can snuggle up cozily with apocryphal writings, while being eager to point out "errors" in the 66 books Canon.

    Why Would Noah's Flood Have Been the Best Way for God to Cleanse the Earth?

    Great! So since atheists, like yourself, are always arguing about the accounts in the Bible, they cannot be fictional. I don't believe atheists are so stupid as to engage in worthless arguments, right? The only systems needing civilians to determine the verdict of a case, are those that... let...
