Tribute Thread For the Recently Raptured Faith

I told the exact truth. I get frustrated and impatient with people referring to long-discredited heresies as if they carry any weight today. "Many ideas about Jesus in the early centuries" all got soundly trounced by the great men of the Church whose names have been honored ever since. I get frustrated at being asked to reinvent the wheel by unbelievers who have no clue about anything do with the truths of Christianity. Or truth about anything in these discussions for that matter. Such as yourself.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

See you don't understand anything. There are no different genealogies.

You must spend a lot of time dreaming up nasty things to say about me.

Sorry, what I meant is that they were not meant to be the same genealogy which is what you are implying.

You have no ability to see anything I say correctly. Zip.

You tell a lot of lies under the label "truth."

everything you say about me is a lie. You lie lie lie lie lie about me, all namecalling lies that are supposedly against the EvC rules but obviously nobody cares.

Possibilities are Hanukkah, Christmas, Purim and February 3rd, 25th and May 14th. Or anything before or after or in between.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

It is possible to trace a genealogy in many different ways. Some think one of them is Joseph's and the other goes through Mary's father, but there are also other interpretations. David had many sons and they could have been his descendant through many of them. If you traced your own you could pick hundreds of different paths that would all eventually get you back to Adam. Maybe one through Attila the Hun or a slave in Babylon, who knows. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Gosh, "the world" has KNOWN this for over a whole HUNDRED years. Wow. Funny you think this mere empty assertion is "demonstrable" truth, or that a hundred years means something.Surprising it is, but the earth really isn't billions of years old and Adam and Eve were certainly real. Do you really think somebody just invented all those genealogies? That's a lot weirder than the claim that it's all real, and the genealogies count to about 6000 years from Adam and Eve. That's actual evidence, which is why they are given in the Bible. God knows we need evidence and He gives us a LOT of evidence in the Bible for the reality of its various claims. And there really was a Flood and there is even extrabiblical evidence for that one: strata and fossils. Misappropriated to other explanations but in-your-face evidence to anyone who can actually see. (I also think the Earth shows that it's been through a gigantic catastrophe in many ways: it looks like monumental wreckage to me, something originally perfect broken in a million ways, land broken apart and drifting in different directions, causing the eruption of destructive hot stuff from the core of the planet, and earthquakes that knock things down, and an ice age that is now melting away and causing violent hurricanes. Poor poor fallen humanity, that we think all this is normal, that we are accidents in an accidental world. The first chapters of Genesis are SO explanatory of our actual situation.)I laughed when I learned the Earth is only 6000 years old. It's really pretty funny in the context of today's ridiculous ideas about its age.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Well, a lot of it isn't patrilineal, or simply patrilineal anyway. We are often reminded of the presence of Tamar and Ruth and Rahab in Jesus' ancestry.They are named in the chart of Matthew's genealogy on this Wikipedia page.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Nobody could invent the particular genealogies in Genesis.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

The fossil order is just a handy rationalization. In reality there is no genetic way to get from one major life form to another, and those life forms such as trilobites that exist in a huge number of strata which supposedly represent millions of years each, in reality would have developed as normal variations over a few hundred years of microevolution. And genetic variation depletes genetic diversity over generations so evolution beyond the Kind can't happen anyway. Oh and any source of diversity such as mutation would just get gobbled up the same way and run out just the same way.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

The fossil order is of no use except as a rationalization for evolution and since evolution is genetically impossible the fossil order is just a useless odd fact.Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

But if there is no evolution there is no order, it's just an odd illusion, so there is nothing to account for.
