    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    I don't say that the presumption about the prophecy is the only evidence used, and I have already said that it is not an accusation about the presumption. You are the one claiming I am making personal attacks. The burden of proof is upon you.

    Jesus - First Born?

    You could add "good".

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    The presumption is what they do. Are you saying that there is proof that the gospels were written after 70AD apart from that? I have heard a couple of things mentioned along those lines but I don't think it is proof.

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    No it is the fault of science which told us that a world wide flood is untenable. So a different interpretation was needed or saying that it was just a moral parable. But the alternative legitimate translation just enabled us to say that the translators had made a mistake when there was no...

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    Well Peter wrote or dictated epistles. (and dictation does not mean that it was not a witness testimony) The accounts of Matthew (an apostle) and John (an apostle) have these people as witnesses. That is hearsay but hearsay maybe but it is witnesses saying who was there and is a high standard...

    True that could have happened.

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    That many historians presume that the prophecy of the temple destruction in the synoptics is not true is just something admitted by those historians. That is just part of the method they use, it is not an accusation.

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    God is not the one who did the translations and there was no reason to translate it any other way in an age where the possibility of a world wide flood was there.

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    Just because you might disagree, that doesn't make things worse for me.

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    What the alternative translation means is that skeptics cannot point to the flood story and say it has been proven not to be true.

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    We don't know that they did not have someone to write down what they said. iow that is no problem. And what is 60 years after the crucifixion all about unless you want to date the gospels after 70AD on the presumption that they are not true. Without that presumption Matthew was written maybe...

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    That is fine, maybe God wanted just that. "All" in other parts of the OT does not mean absolutely "all". Another alternative is that floods happened all over the world at the same time and wiped out most of humanity.

    Disbelievers in Christianity Answer Please!

    Yes I guess it can be peripheral things like the existence of Satan that can be the straw that breaks the camels back in terms of belief in a religion. I have spoken to Trailblazer on a number of topics and we don't seem to agree on much about the meanings in the Bible. The existence of Satan is...

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    Peter's epistles and John's gospel and Matthew's gosel are not hearsay imo

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    An alternative translation changes the meaning.

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    We are told in other places that Paul spoke with witnesses.

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    It is calculated to have been maybe 15,000 square miles. What would have been accomplished is killing all the animals and people in the area. That is what the story can be read to mean.

    What if it was created by God to evolve?

    Peter and the other apostles and the women who were at the tomb.

    I have just hearsay evidence for Satan, nothing that you might call substantial.

    Life From Dirt?

    It is a faith after all, so objective verifiability is not applicable. It is the same for belief in the truth of the resurrection and that the apostles were witnesses and their witness is seen in the writings of the New Testament.
