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: 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. 3 Likes |

starlingslimnet: 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 6 Likes 2 Shares |

OLAADEGBU: 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. |

Re: The Earth Is Not 6000 Years Old. by Nobody: 3:01am On Sep 01, 2015 |
Chizzled06: Care to explain what you mean by "enlightenment"? Enlightened on what? We can start from there. |
Re: The Earth Is Not 6000 Years Old. by Chizzled06(m): 3:07am On Sep 01, 2015 |
davidylan: 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 |
Re: The Earth Is Not 6000 Years Old. by Nobody: 3:12am On Sep 01, 2015 |
Chizzled06: 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... |
Re: The Earth Is Not 6000 Years Old. by Chizzled06(m): 3:25am On Sep 01, 2015 |
davidylan: 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 2 Likes |

Chizzled06: 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? |
Re: The Earth Is Not 6000 Years Old. by vooks: 3:33am On Sep 01, 2015 |
davien: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? |

Re: The Earth Is Not 6000 Years Old. by Chizzled06(m): 3:47am On Sep 01, 2015 |
davidylan: 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. 4 Likes |

Chizzled06: 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 |
Re: The Earth Is Not 6000 Years Old. by Nobody: 3:56am On Sep 01, 2015 |
Chizzled06: 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. 1 Like |
