Whenever anyone claims to be as good as YHVH this is what they are doing....(I think)

Romans 1:21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.

How do you interpret the term 'incorruptible' ?

I interpreted it to mean One who is without the human corruptions such as sin and transgression. As in a 'Corrupted' generation.

You probably interpreted it literally to mean when the physical body or flesh dies and gets corrupted.
Are you a literalist by the way?


And Baha'u'llah did not claim to be as good as God.

"Certain ones among you have said: “He it is Who hath laid claim to be God.” By God! This is a gross calumny. I am but a servant of God Who hath believed in Him and in His signs, and in His Prophets and in His angels. My tongue, and My heart, and My inner and My outer being testify that there is no God but Him, that all others have been created by His behest, and been fashioned through the operation of His Will. There is none other God but Him, the Creator, the Raiser from the dead, the Quickener, the Slayer. I am He that telleth abroad the favors with which God hath, through His bounty, favored Me. If this be My transgression,"
- Baha'u'llah

Do you reject the Prophecies of Hebrew Scriptures?

Who is this who was Prophesied:

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6

READ IT! He says "he will be called". It does not say by whom. Many people say he is mighty God. So.......it came true, didn't it?

"will be called" Strong's 7121, means "to call out to" and that is exactly what many people do. Is it right? Does it say it is right?

I still murmur Jesus when I bump my funny bone. I don't know why. I try not to bump myself.

What do people who do not speak English say when they hit their thumb with a hammer please?

This has everything to do with 6000 years. Doesn't it?

It is a real question. Right question, wrong thread. It's my thread. isn't it? I do not know if it's ok to mess up one's own thread. Is it? I don't know if I care, so if you are not moved to answer then, please don't.

But even if that's how you think it should be interpreted, then Christians never call Jesus 'The Father' .....Never!

But Baha'u'llah Before He was known to be Messenger of God, people called Him Father of Poor. Reference upon request.

Well, my first post did have to do with 6000 years. It just gave it a different view.
Peace

Ok. I request please.

But they do because they say he is the same one.

Peace! I'm talking about me, not you. I do not know how to talk about you.

How about diamonds? I saw a show about diamonds which are formed 100 miles under ground. Can they really have been formed in such a short time as a few thousand years?

Surely they were created there intact with the rest of the stuff that "proves" everything to be a lot older (like granite and other metamorphic rocks, huge stalactites, the light created mid-way between distant stars and us..)

The only view that is logically consistent with a young earth is that it was all magicked into place like this - as soon as any YEC-type starts suggesting there is any science on his/her side, they are out of their depth and either lying or simply too stupid to realize just how idiotic they are. There is no scientific answer to "God made it that way", that's the "how can I tell I'm in the Matrix" sort of question, though there is always the question of motive - why did He decide to make it look as though it's billions of years old?
