Re: Fraud
Most importantly, how do explain what appears to be a ham-fisted attempt on your part to mischaracterise this information?
The questions I raised are just that questions.
If you want to refute something refute:
quote:
http://www.amnh.org/...sures/Evolution_of_Horses/horses.html
Cladistics, which the Museum has played an important role in developing, is the grouping of organisms by shared, specialized characteristics; each time a new evolutionary feature appears, a new branch grows on the evolutionary tree, comprising organisms that have both the old traits and the new one. Thus the display in the back shows that some later horses, such as Calippus, are actually smaller than earlier ones, and that other later horses, such as Neohipparion, still had three toes. This display is therefore both a classic demonstration of evolution and a paradigm of scientific method at the Museum.

Re: Biologist
Why is this so?
The only way it could get here is to evolve from something.

Re: Everything Is A Choice
Mat 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
Jesus is speaking to a lost religious rich Pharisee.
He is not talking to one of His children whom he has blessed.
Mat 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
quote:
Matt 19:25 (KJS) When his disciples heard [it], they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Ringo, why did you not give the explanation that Jesus gave to His disciples. Would that be because it did not serve your purpose.
With God all things are possible.

Re: Everything Is A Choice
That does not even make sense.
Unless you are a born again child of the King you won't understand.
quote:
1Cor 2:14 (KJS) But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.
This is the biggest problem with people trying to understand the Bible.
iceage, do you have any understanding of the end time events that will take place at the second coming of Jesus according to the Bible?
Jesus will come to claim His Bride, The Church.
The saved will receive new bodies.
The judgment seat of Christ will take place.
The marriage of the Lamb will take place.
The nations of the earth under the anti-Christ will go up to destroy Jerusalem.
Not all nations will join in this attempt to destroy Jerusalem.
Jesus will come with His Saints and angels and defeat all nations.
Jesus will judge the nations.
The sheep nations will go into the 1,000 year reign of Christ.
At the end of the 1,000 year of peace on earth because Satan is chained in the bottomless pit.
Satan will be loosed for a little season.
He will deceive the nations and gather them together to go up and destroy Jerusalem.
The battle of Armageddon will take place at this time.
The devil will be cast into the lake of fire.
All those who died without trusting Christ will be brought before the Great White Throne Judgment and judged out of the books and the book of life.
Those not found written in the book of life will be cast into the lake of fire.
There will then be a new heaven and a new earth.
There will be no more day and night, no sun or moon for God will be the light.
The New Jerusalem will descend and God will dwell with the glorified man forever.
Now folks the above statement of events is not complete just the main parts are covered. They are for information only I do not intend to explain all the scriptures that cover these statements.
I do not have the year that it would take to cover them in detail and since you would not believe it anyway what would be the use. If you want more information read Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Matthew 24, Amos, and Revelation.
quote:
1Joh 3:2 (KJS) Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
1The 4:17 (KJS) Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Re-Blessings
at least, he can't take his earthly riches with him
You got that right. That is why everything I have will go to the Church when the last one, My Wife or Myself dies.
Show us chapter and verse where Jesus blessed His children with material goods.
quote:
Phil 4:19 (KJS) But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
John 10:10 (KJS) The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.
Paul said God would supply all my needs, according to His riches.
I need a house, I need transportation, I need a truck for the farm, almost forgot need the farm for the house to reside on.
Jesus said: "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have (life) more abundantly.
BTW there are enough scriptures that apply to me without trying to apply those that apply to other people to me. I have a hard enough time with mine.

Re: Everything Is A Choice
It is not, as you suggest, merely the confusion of those not born again.
I don't suggest it the Bible declares it.

Re: Everything Is A Choice
Further the treatment of the least of society is touched on not only in Matt 25
Spin Matt. 25 any way you want but it remains that Jesus is judging the nations for their treatment of the Jewish nation as God had promised Abraham.
quote:
Gene 12:3 (KJS) And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
In Luke 16 the rich man's claims to external virtue did not compensate for his neglect of the poor man Lazarus.
Are you saying then that the rich man went to hell because he would not feed and clothe Lazarus?

Re: Re-Blessings
It's sad that you think "more abundant life" has anything to do with the size of your bank account.
Who other that you said anything about the size of their bank account?

Re: Re-Blessings
You were the one who brought up material goods as a "benefit" of being one of God's children. You have spent the whole thread talking about how God has blessed you materially.
God has blessed me materially, He has blessed me physically, He has blessed me with the most wonderful woman in the world, He has blessed me with the most wonderful Church in the world, He has blessed me with some of the most wonderful opportunities in the world.
I have been privileged to go overseas on many mission trips. I am not going to tell you how much of the things I have done that you accuse me of not doing because if I did you would say I was bragging.
I won't tell you how many years of those I spent working that I was pastoring small churches that could not afford a pastor.
Yes God has been good to me and for me. BTW the bank account is small. So God is going to have to take care of my needs until He calls me home on His retirement plan.

Re: Everything Is A Choice
That is a personal message not one to nations.
Matt 25:32 (KJS) And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats:
My bold and underline.
The Bible plainly says nations. I can't help how you interpet it.
The division is based on the acts of kindness and mercy done by people to the disadvantaged.
quote:
Matt 25:40 (KJS) And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me.
My bold and underline.
Jesus plainly said my brethren.
To be a brother of Christ you have to either be a Jew or be a Born again child of God.
Roma 8:14 (KJS) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
1Joh 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
Being a son of God makes me a brother of Jesus.
Matt 1:1 (KJS) The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
This is the descendants of Abraham who are the brethren of Jesus.
It makes no difference what you or I say the Bible says. It only matters what God says in His Word.

Re: Re-Blessings
You have far more than you really need. Nobody "needs" two homes, for goodness sake.
The house I have was built in 1973 on the farm I own The only other home I have is in heaven.
I would be glad to sell everything to you for the upper six figures. Except the home in Heaven.(tax man says everything I have is worth less than 200k and yes it is paid for I have never paid interest on money)
Then I could take it and build me another house and a couple of Churches to boot.
Edited by ICANT, : No reason given.

Re: Everything Is A Choice
So it does, in fact, matter very much what you or anybody else says the Bible says, since this is the only way anybody can take in the word, right?
Wrong I can say anything I want, I can believe anything I want, that does not make it True.
The only thing that makes it true is if God said it.

Re: Everything Is A Choice

nator, what I am trying to say is that I can tell you a lie, anybody else can tell you a lie. But God cannot tell you a lie.
If you really want to know what God says you can take my statements or the statements of anyone else and compare them to what the Bible says. I use the King James 1611 Version, I think it is the most accurate English version. Some of the Greek versions are better but you have to know bibical greek to understand them.
When you go to compare them ask God to help you understand what you are about to read. You can do this even if you don't believe He exists. You might be supprised what He can do.

ICAN'T,
But God cannot tell you a lie.
God isn't omnipotent, then.
What does God not being able to tell a lie have to do with Him being Almighty???????

Ezekiel 14:9
And if a prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the Lord have deceived that prophet.
2 Thessalonians 2:11
For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.
I notice it says IF a prophet be deceived.
God does not tell the lie in 2 Thessalonians 2:ll
That is left up to you and I and a few million others.
But He will allow them to believe it.
