where did thr land came from... Was d water dried by d sun, last tym i check no smallest amount of water or oxygen leaves the earth

Land is uplifted by geothermal activities and tectonic shifts from beneath the ocean...

starlingslimnet:
In the days of those kings God will set up a Kingdom

And is that not our sworn duty to prepare the bride(kingdom) for the groom(heaven with Jesus)?

starlingslimnet:
There is nothing in all creation that can separate us from the Love of God.

Sin

davien:
Sin

If sin can Christ would not have come

davien:

so now it is floating like an iceberg? Bcux if it was uplifted its gonna leave d rightful position were it was b4 it came up. Or did it grow or wat

starlingslimnet:

Love is what made him come.. . remember John 3:16?

davien:

It's not our duty it's Christ duty to present us Holy and Blameless to God our duty is witnessing to his resurrection.

davien:

That means Sin can't separate us from God in that the more sin abounds the more we go far away from him and the more we go away the more we die spiritually and the more God want us back to him,want to save us from death.So he keep loving us despite our failures

starlingslimnet:
If that is the case why bother yourself about it? Oo it's that same eternal conviction in every human soul about reunification with God his Creator... the same thing that keeps drawing man back to Eden.

I'm not bothered. Indoctrination led me to think along those lines. Enlightenment and reason has explained it's all fiction. Obviously, your mind is still trapped.
I can't conceive a God that rewards, punishes his creatures for their actions, which he claims to already know before they occur, but also insists they have free will.

OLAADEGBU:


As you are advancing in age you are equally descending into the pit. I hope atheist evolutionists welcome you into their fold.

Why are you still glued to your chains Mr OLAADEGBU?

No man can justify God by words only God can justify himself to individuals.

Has it ever occurred to you why you are much concerned about someone you don't believe exist or have no use to you and for you?

Truly the Lord says we must be like children to learn...
You can ask any geologist where land comes from and you'll get the same answer...

Ah... but it is our duty to keep ourselves that way of our own free will...

It's been so long I've spoken christianese,brings back memories... lol!

Because it was drilled into me from birth. At home, School, sunday school. Endless cycle of brain washing. Yeah and there's the little fact that I live in a society dominated by religous based ideologies.
I believe religion does more harm than good for humanity. That's why I've decided not to ignore it. The atrocities commited in the name of your Gods are unspeakable. I've lived a lot better since I had no devils to blame for immoral, inhumane and irrational actions

Xetima:
[size=18pt]Time is short. When are you going to give your life to Jesus?[/size]

Please, seize this opportunity and say this little prayer:

"Dear Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I acknowledge you as my Lord and personal Saviour and that you died for my sins. Please, Lord, forgive me of all my iniquities and write my name in your Book of life. From today, I accept you as my Lord and denounce any relationship with Satan and his agents. Thank you Jesus for saving my soul. In Jesus name I prayed."

Now if you said this prayer, you are born again and you know what, there is rejoicing in Heaven right now for your sake.
Next step, find a Bible believing Church around you (RCCG, Deeper Life, TREM, MFM, Christ Apostolic church, ECWA) and become baptised by IMMERSION. You life is already anew.

does this answer the OP ? Move man !

OLAADEGBU:

The belief may not necessarily be a prerequisite for going to hell but it shows where your authority lies. The Word of God or the words of fallible men.

the age of the earth is irrelevant to your salvation. The bible also clearly indicates that the earth did not start with Adam... please read Genesis 1 and Jeremiah 4. Again, as i said... many are no longer drawn to the loving arms of Christ because christians have become nothing but bible police. Even i am guilty of this.

You'd be surprised how ignorant you truly are when you go beyond the superficial understanding you claim to have.

starlingslimnet:
There is only one God of gods; the Creator of the universe. His name is Yahweh if you reject him you accept Satan your archenemy.

How do you know this pls ?

Care to elaborate? I'm always willing to learn

Care to explain what you mean by "enlightenment"? Enlightened on what? We can start from there.

So you don't understand my views, but you assume I'm ignorant. Typical.
Enlightenment on all aspects. The part that might concern you the most would be that the bible is really just a fictional compilation

I didnt assume you were ignorant, i simply noted that like so many, you tend to use the term "enlightenment" rather glibly. Take for example the last line of this post... what does "enlightenment in all aspects" actually mean? You never explain it at all. Infact its so broad as to be actually meaningless. How does that enlightenment help you come to the conclusion that the bible is fiction? It seems to me that you're making a jump in logic...

Enlightment in all aspects means I've studied Physics, Cosmology, Astronomy, Paleontology, History of religion, monotheism down to Christianity, the history of the bible itself, synonptic gospels, the cannonisation, lost scrolls, the endless discrepancies in the supposed inspired written work of an all powerful being. There's only one reasonable conclusion. Questionable have been turned into unshakeable truth by the passage of time.
If you believe every word of the bible is from your supreme being then I'm not sure we can have a rational discussion

lol you must be a genius to have studied all that IN SUFFICIENT DETAIL to be able to make sense out of them... my guess is as usual, you're basically name dropping and really haven't studied a lick of what you claim. Let me ask a simple question - how does biology explain the creation of life?

davien:
Don't flatter yourself, I'm not the one debating you... And creationism borders on your very plea of arguments from ignorance (I. e can't explain x completely, therefore y )

It's not that you can't as yet, it's just that 'in the begining DIRT...' is the most ret@rded thing ever.

I have never understood why evolutionists divorce Origins from their theories. Who is supposed to account for origins? Orang-utans?

The earth is not 6000 years old .

I created a nice thread for that - > https://www.nairaland.com/2305535/dealing-misconceptions-10-things-bible

Don't you think it's interesting how I never included Biology? So because Biological science hasn't (yet) concluded on the definitive process of the origin of living matter on earth, your holy book must be correct that "God did it"?

"You don't fully understand the universe (yet), your science is wrong about everything!"

I'd rather that than Genesis 1 & 2. Two differing accounts of creation in the first two chapters of the same book.

Again, I reiterate that we can't have a rational discussion if you literally believe every word of the bible.

First Account : Divine purpose stated or announced

Second Account : The actual creation of new inhabitants of the restored earth was done . The second one is the "true one " and in that order

On the contrary, i was quite sure that you did not include biology because clearly you know that it does not support your theory of some random earth just appearing out of nowhere. That is the trick that people pull all the time, they rush to their safe havens (astronomy, physics) - esoteric sciences where they can spin things as they want, knowing that 99% of the people they are talking to have no clue so of course they can never be wrong (they can just invoke the fallacy of appeal to authority when found wanting).

I find it odd that you have chosen to not study the subject that is most fundamental to the creation of man - biology and the theory of evolution.

lol perhaps you also dismiss Newton's laws since he believed every word of the bible too? I believe every word of the bible (of course i question some parts) but how that has any relevance to a scientific analysis of your own viewpoint leaves me wondering.
