Re: The Whole World's On Fire
Obviously!What, did you think I'm the person who disrespects my God, who takes his name in vain?
EDIT: We see God as the type of God who promises to protect us from worldwide flood. If there was no worldwide flood, then there must be no God or no truth in that experience at all!

Re: The Whole World's On Fire
Now, was that really a lie? The day they ate of it they did die.
"For a day to the Lord is as a thousand years." -Ezekiel. GOd finds this very important so he repeats it in Numbers, Revelation, and one other book...
Adam and Eve did not live as long as Methuselah, who lived 969 years.
1 Day:------------------------Noon--------------------------End of Day
0----100----200----300----400----500----600----700----800----900----*
*******************************************************************
* = Methuselah's Lifespan
NOTE:No man has ever lived up to the end of their day. If 969 < 1000, then God wasnt kidding when he said that we'd die the same day. After all, a day to our Lord is a thousand years.
"God is not a man, that he should lie, nore the son of a man, that he should repent." God knew what he was doing in the Flood, and I don;t see how he has ever lied. If you find a better example, tell me.
EDIT: What new edition of the Bible are you reading? The bible actually says, "...for in the day that you eat of it, thou shalt surely die." Why? Because it's true that it happened just as he predicted. Not "when" you eat of it, but "in the day" you eat of it. SO there.

Re: a day is AS a thousand years
If that is so, then the Bible is contradictory.
But God does repent:
beat me to it.
The Bible clearly states that God repented at the Flood, but the hebrew verb is different in this repent (its moer like regret) than the one in Malachi and Numbers. I say again, God knows the plans he has for us - plans for good and not bad. By the way, that part of the phrase was no the object of debate. Brian, I meant to say that God doesn't lie. It's not in his nature !!!
Besides, he "changes not", there "is no variableness nor shadow of turning" with him. You don't know God unless you know the truth
(And "if it's new, It probably ain't true.")
This may be a debate forum, but agreements would help...

The world's most pessimistic saying...
...People who think they have all the answers* usually don't understand the questions.
I've got a better one for you to enjoy...
..."We're all gonna die in the morning!"
*And I'm not defending people like that because I'm pne - I'm not.

Re: The world's most pessimistic saying...
ANd just how long does it usually take for them to pull these self-gratifying answers out of their (ahem!) for us to dwell on?
I agree totally with you, but that signature still wont beat the saying that still holds true:
"We're all gonna die in the morning!"

uh, same thing, really. that's what "repent" means.
the issue is really more like "god should not have to apologize to men." it's about having their priorities backwards. god's in charge, not us. it doesn't mean that god doesn't sometimes regret his actions.
Are you entirely sure? I mean, God regretted his choice to create an antidiluvian world, but do you really believe that remorse, regret, and repentance are the same thing? It's just like saying that Sin, Iniquity, and Transgression are the same thing, when in reality, Sin is missing the mark, Transgression is accidentally missing the mark though trying to hit it, and Iniquity is purposely missing it because you wanted to. Go check the Hebrew contexts of the words. Besides...
i think.
Nice to hear you say that.
LOL! JUst wanted to mess with you!

Floodwaters
That anecdote you shared with us in your first post was interesting, and yet the second post was a little odd. I'm not entirely sure that that's the explanation for the death of Adam & Eve spiritually.

Say What?
Raimundo vs. Rabindra
Sylvestre vs. Sylvester
Or is it illusion, Raimundo (Do you know what I'm talking about, fellow new Castle, Delawarean?)
----------------------------------------------------------------------And yet aother thing..."That everything we do against God's will upsets what he had planned for us?"
"you assert that we can actually upset god's will? blasphemy!"
Actually, I want to be the first to stone him. Blasphemer!!! Blasphemy!!!
For the blasphemer: Raed Tihs...if yuo cnat raed tihs yuo nede glasess. Chirst deid fro us. Do yuo konw waht tihs deos fro hsi paln of slvaiaton? It mekas hsi hloy sirpit oru cosntant giude. Threfero we bemoce hsi cihlredn, nad mya be rencoilced at ayn tmie atfre we flal! Gte it? Hpoe yuo gto it.

Wait a minute, Asgara. Why are you continually following me? And how can I fall into "your good graces" when I am unaccquainted with your way of editing? Besides, I have done no wrong, and I promised I will not change or misconstrue the topic any longer. What more do you need?

Re: Say What?
Excuse me, Sono, State General, who made you the leader of a feud? Feudalism ended 450 years ago. Why bring it back now.
