    Why are “some atheists” so intolerant of religious believers?

    Having had a Non-Christian background for as long as I have and having spent years, debating Christians on a variety of topics, I'm not embellishing when I state that I've met many kinds. The thing to remember is that a variety of people with a plethora of beliefs and attitudes, exist under the...

    Here's a Question for the Young Creationist

    Since you feel it fit to repeat yourself, would you also care to provide scripture to support your position on Revelation? Also, here are some questions I have for you... 1. You have stated and repeated that Christ will not return until the last prophecy happens. Do you believe that everything...

    Here's a Question for the Young Creationist

    To my knowledge, the saved are taken up into the clouds, just before "The Day of The Lord" begins. Tribulation doesn't read (in my experience) to be the same thing.

    Here's a Question for the Young Creationist

    Your argument is flawed and your conduct is as well. Furthermore, I’ve not threatened you in any way. I stated my view on your insults (which I did perceive to be directed at me). However, regardless of who they were directed at, I found them offensive.

    When the ego falls away

    What you call “ego death”, I’ve experienced. Looking back, it was a truly horrific state of being. I’m incredibly grateful to be freed from it. I can now, after so long, experience the beauty and fullness of life.

    Here's a Question for the Young Creationist

    Considering God’s breath is in us, I’m not troubled if the atmosphere itself was stirred to be by God’s breath. However, I suspect the atmosphere was made in Gen 1:1 (the heaven/heavens). Furthermore, don’t ever call me a false or fake or untrue Christian again. Understood?

    Here's a Question for the Young Creationist

    To my knowledge, Genesis 1 declares that God created heaven (visible sky) and earth (the watery realm itself). Further in, God separated the waters by means of an expanse, allowing waters below to be gathered (seas) and waters above. If you’re inclined to ponder over this , the atmosphere...

    Why is the literalness of the Bible so important?

    Time isn’t reset; it goes on as usual. The earth (not the planet) will be destroyed and a new earth will be created. Earth (the realm) isn’t going to be destroyed. Neither will a new planet replace earth. God called creation good and it was so. With the flood, God submerged “earth” (all the...

    Why is the literalness of the Bible so important?

    Why would we return to paradise? Revelation has yet to occur at least in my belief about it.

    I just don’t use it.

    Why is the literalness of the Bible so important?

    If you disbelieve Adam and Eve existed, it's not rational for you to believe that the "serpent" existed, nor that Eve sinned. It's not rational that you believe Adam also sinned and the two were banished from Eden as a result of sin. Neither is it rational to believe sin resulted in death...

    Why is the literalness of the Bible so important?

    Certainly Revelation is, since it's a book of visions and dreams to my knowledge? If it was literal, we'd have a 1,500 mile solid cube, descending from the sky (New Jerusalem) to sit itself on the Earth. We'd also have the sky itself being rolled up "like a scroll" and literal stars, falling...

    Why is the literalness of the Bible so important?

    I tend towards not using Wikipedia for anything. Furthermore, since we're on the topic of Hebrew... "Nachash" can refer to a serpent (literal snake) but it can also refer to a "shining one" and often is associated with shining metal. If my recollection doesn't fail me, that metal is bronze. My...

    Why is the literalness of the Bible so important?

    You have taken Psalms 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8 out of context. Furthermore... No where in Genesis 1-5 is a day "an indefinite period of time". Why do you have a need to force thousands or millions of years into the creation account of the cosmos in Genesis 1? Is God incapable of creating all we...

    Why is the literalness of the Bible so important?

    It is my strong opinion that all which God has made is ultimately simple; it is man who misunderstands and complicates.

    Why is the literalness of the Bible so important?

    Evening = dusk Morning = dawn Dusk = last light Dawn = first light —- Opposed to an indefinite period of time or sunset to sunrise. Sunset- When the sun optically (by eye) is below the horizon Sunrise - When the disk of the sun (not the entire circle) is first visible.
