    Challenge Issued: Arguments for YEC

    So the specifics in question can't possibly justify a non-existent double standard? What exactly is this double-standard in question? The reason these theories are in doubt is because the data is suspect in the first place, and doesn't hold in the face of data, especially from secular sources...

    Christians; why do I need the band aid; if my wound is cured?

    Who cares? God can change his mind or something, or the Jews somehow ****** him off so bad that he broke it off and made it non-binding on anyone for all time. At least in Christian-land. It's quite amazing how badly they'll throw God AND Jesus under the bus for their comforting convenience...

    Christians; why do I need the band aid; if my wound is cured?

    No, the only thing it says about "not being like the old" is that it will be directly written into the hearts of men and not have to be taught, it specifically explains the difference. Anything else is reading something into it that's not there, defies logic, and is perhaps merely convenience...

    If Jesus was God, explain this verse...

    The Incarnation of God's Wisdom Personified, the First Created Soul, the Highest of the Heavenly Host under God, the heir to the Throne, the Prince of Heaven.

    The prophets tell us that THE SCRIBES HAD CHANGED THE GOD'S LAW

    What part of that CAUSES slavery exactly? A ruling on the existence of the slave-class does not say anything about causing slavery. Also, I'd like to see what part of the Gospel you speak of that says Jesus says anything about slaves. In fact, he goes to heal a Centurion's slave. He doesn't...

    Did you overlook Leviticus 19:34?

    Jesus: The Missing Years in the East

    He did say he would come as a Thief in the Night, so I'm assuming at least a Level 7 Rogue as well. And it was the SPEAR of destiny or so I'm told. That whole thing about it being the Roman's spear that pierced him, that's just a silly legend. It was his OWN spear.

    Jesus: The Missing Years in the East

    Then you didn't look very far. Josephus on Essene Sacrifice | Albert Baumgarten - Academia.edu But I assume you think that Essene.org has some mystic insight that Josephus didn't have, or that Josephus was bald-faced lying to make the Essenes seem not so bad or something. He says they...

    Jesus: The Missing Years in the East

    Ah, burning wheat and barley is not superstition of course. And of course, there's absolutely NO insight in the entire corpus of Jewish literature, none at all. But I'm wondering what this whole "breath" thing means. Practicing your breathing may be a meditative practice perhaps but I don't...

    Jesus: The Missing Years in the East

    Accuracy compared to what? It appears Pe****ta Primacy is basically just like King-James-onlyism, a hostile reaction to manuscript and scholarly evidence of the "perfection" of the NT.

    Jesus: The Missing Years in the East

    Oh Jesus was a MYSTIC. Because of course, those of the Essenes/authors of the DSS who clearly believed in Animal Sacrifice could NOT possibly be mystics. Not like the entire Jewish religion itself had "mystical" elements to it in some definition or another. Did Jesus practice Kaballah too? Was...

    Challenge Issued: Arguments for YEC

    Not really. We have guesses with big giant holes in those guesses. Why doesn't it seem to be an issue to you? I take it you're basically backing away from the prospect of having an examination of these theories in light of calculations and evaluations that actually address the details and...

    Where did you get the idea that we "Know exactly" how they form? From that link which says: Now, is that website aware of the whole issue of them going around the sun? http://cseligman.com/text/ssevolve/cometorigin.htm

    Theists: If You Knew You Were Going to Hell

    What if it's a temporary stay in Hell instead of Eternal?

    Jesus: The Missing Years in the East

    Where do you get that it did not include resurrection of the body? I would think the Essenes believed in Reincarnation, and I can accept that many of them believed the animal sacrifices were false doctrines, but this does not appear to be standard view, but perhaps a view of a vocal fringe that...

    Playstation 4 sneaks in spying and monitoring 4 days prior to launch through mandatory update.

    How does all those things NOT harm everybody else? Seriously, Starcraft became utterly unplayable once everyone started hacking. Made me want to smash their computers with a hammer because the only way to compete was to hack as well, and I refused to do it.

    The OT = UGH

    The "New Covenant" only applies to "Israel and Judah", and Christians believe that they are now "Grafts" to the tree, so that means they must be included to "Israel and Judah" and obey what Israel and Judah must obey if they want to be consistent. Otherwise, they aren't part of Israel and Judah...

    The prophets tell us that THE SCRIBES HAD CHANGED THE GOD'S LAW

    If I said, "obey all the signs and avoid hitting your neighbor, that is the rules of the road", do you think that this means you can ignore the rest of all other driving laws? Except that he didn't abolish a single one. What he abolished was Pharisee misinterpretation of them. You seem pretty...

    If Jesus was God, explain this verse...

    No, the doctrine of a one-time-only resurection is a doctrine of demons used by the churches to control people and which outright defies scripture itself. You have quoted a few verses out of context and insisting and asserting your own interpretation as if it's matter of fact and ignoring...
