    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    Because the blood is the nephesh. Deuteronomy 12:23 Not yet. Ruach is translated spirit, nephesh is mistranslated soul. Ruach is an invisible active force, like breath; Habakkuk 2:19, wind; Exodus 10:13, holy spirit; Genesis 1:2, spirit creatures; 1 Kings 22:21, The nephesh is in the...

    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    You think it is incomplete because it doesn't align with your traditional beliefs. I've asked you to give the other possible words in context with references and I think you gave 1 reference, but we may get to that later. Once again, you've bombarded me with tradition, I've no interest in and...

    Is there any reason to reject the science of evolution, other than religious beliefs?

    I rejected theism and evolution as a young atheist in school. Then, many years later became a believer in the Bible. I still reject organized religion, and think the evolution/creation debate is nonsensical on a few different levels.

    God Sent Himself To Die On The Cross

    No. There is no scriptural support of that. Jesus wasn't the God with whom he was, the Son was not the Father. That's religious nonsense.

    What is the difference between faith and thought?

    What isn't? The Latin word credit means believer. Credentials, credible. accredited, etc. Faith simply means trust.

    Is there any reason to reject the science of evolution, other than religious beliefs?

    My failure to understand? You mean my failure to adhere to groupthink. Exactly. Groupthink. Are you as sure of that as you are that I fail to understand it because I have refused to learn it, in good faith of your indoctrination? Well, then. Enjoy yourself.

    Is there any reason to reject the science of evolution, other than religious beliefs?

    Okay. Religion is stupid because it always transmogrifies into something it isn't, dependent upon power (i.e. financial incentive and social control) it can potentially generate through appeal to the masses. Much like Darwin's evolutionary theory was popularized due to a need to respond to the...

    Is there any reason to reject the science of evolution, other than religious beliefs?

    Educated? You mean indoctrinated. Obviously, I'm not that. You want a debate the likes of which I've just opined was stupid? Not that I have a problem with that, I engage in that sort of debate with astonishing frequency, but really, why? Put simply, why would you want to have such a debate...

    Is there any reason to reject the science of evolution, other than religious beliefs?

    What is your evidence that something isn't stupid? Evidence - what is that? The available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid. Is stupidity subjective? "Thus, not all failures are stupid - just those which betray a compromise commitment to...

    Is there any reason to reject the science of evolution, other than religious beliefs?

    Not like sure, pretty sure, and not the scientists who claim Darwinian Evolution, the Darwinian Evolution itself, much the same as I'm pretty sure all the religion rather than the religious are stupid and the atheism rather than the atheists are stupid.

    Is there any reason to reject the science of evolution, other than religious beliefs?

    I rejected evolution long before becoming a believer, for the same reason I rejected religion. It's stupid. Any of the reasons that are given for rejecting religion are basically the same.

    What does Islam say about human rights?

    It doesn't matter so much what they say as what they do.

    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    I thought that my thread on the pagan/Christian immortal soul was what introduced us to the subject in the first place, but after doing a search I see that apparently, I haven't posted that thread here. The Immortal Soul From a strictly Biblical perspective the term soul is a somewhat...

    Modern Skeptic's Bible (MSB) - Genesis Chapter 1

    No, it is only of interest whether or not the LXX is a acceptable translation. I assume they thought it was. It's really only an aside. Hebrew into Greek. It wouldn't be of the same interest to me as it might (or might not be) to you. We don't have to go there if you would rather not. I was just...
