you realise that Israel ranks no 5 on that list don't you? and its a very close 5 at that in that number 3 on the list is practically a dead heat between Israel, Finland and Swedan!
I see...its all completely different to the Christian bible is it (ie the creation account)? Funny that because i have copied some verses straight out of the Tenach/Torah/Bere****1&2 (Genesis 1&2) and it looks exactly the same to me when i read it!
1In the beginning of God's creation of the...
The correct theology on the resurrection is as follows:
When Christ was raised from the dead, was it physical or spiritual?
24Now Thomas called Didymus,d one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied...
you misrepresent the text...it says that they triumphed over Satan by the blood of the lamb.
This means triump is only possible through the cross...as is described for thousands of years by the Old Testament Sanctuary Service (culminating in the Day of Atonement).
So humanity has not triumphed...
I will simply answer the theological challenge above in this post...as its very clear that you do not understand the theology of Salvation by Grace through Faith.
The "dilemma of faith and works"
I am an SDA and our denomination believes that the debate about faith and works rages because a...
You know one thing I've noticed about forums...people here debate as if they are making a difference. Given almost no one appears to ever change their minds, even i must admit, these are really just platforms for seagull sqawking.
You live in a world of deceit, murder, pillaging of the environment ...and you think Christians are to blame? I think the evidence is against you being happy, given once you die its kaput is it not? Tell me, philosophically whats next for the atheist after they die?.
What's the contradiction here?
Christians know that they are saved by grace through faith in the sufficiency of Christs death as atonement for sin and that should Adam and Eve fall under the temptation of the devil after creation, God had already set in motion a plan of redemption should that...
Isnt your claim to YoursTrue, that the bible is full of "a miriad of contradictions"? As with Shunyadragon, what are they so we can discuss them specifically?
hang on a minute...didnt you make the claim the bible contradicts itself?
The bible disagreeing with the naturalistic interpretation of science is not a contradiction. It also ignores that point that the bibles historical record is largely proven to be correct. So when you say, we cannot prove...
OK so how about instead of unreferenced personal claims, why not share some of those contradictions and we can discuss them. Proofof your point to another respondant here about "intelligence and wisdom" requires evidence does it not?
The prophet Jeremiah expands on the text you quoted in Deuteronomy...
When we read the text below, it appears to be talking specifically about Israelite captivity. However, this is a powerful type/antitype prophecy that also talks of salvation of spiritual Israel (modern Christians)...of God...
What conflicting interpretations are you talking about...the bible doeent conflict with itself.
Look if you can't be bothered learning how to cross reference, your objective is such that it's pointless explaining the fundamentals of cross referencing to you.
Anyone who has done any high...
I have already explained this at the bottom of my last post.
It means that carnal man, sinful man who does not seek God, cannot know.
If you carefully read the cross references I cited its very easy to follow the meaning.
And yet we also know this...
As the early hominids lost their protective hair, their skin evolved to be dark to protect them from the sun in central Africa.
So your assumption is only true if early man evolved from ape ancestors which had hair. If that is false, than logic tells us that...
The explaination of this text is simple...anyone who knows how to cross reference with a concordance can easily find its meaning. The bible always interprets itself...its meaning is below.
John 14:17
the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him...
one wonders why the O.P even wrote the question...clearly you didn't read it
At least use some basic reading comprehension...if someone asks the question "is this racist?" where do you suppose they get that idea from?
IF a question asks..."is evolution racist" how do you come to that conclusion given that the descent response about whites coming from blacks out of Africa is an assumption? Do we actually know for sure that black came first? Was it perhaps red, or brown, or yellow??
Given Christ was born in...
