Did He walk on water...or skate on thin ice?

This kid seems to be enjoying the water and he is not concerned whether or not he is walking on it.His childlike faith keeps the sharks away, and I believe that God will give him wisdom to continually trust and do that for his whole life!

This ice thing is not a new thing in the attempt to reduce HIM to a naturalistic explanation.

​

That is only one way to look at it.

​

Another way is to see it as an attempt to make those who believe in fairly tales look less foolish. In other words, this is one attempt to show that some of the Biblical tales may have a basis in fact rather than being made up out of nothing.

​

These explanations allow for the actual existance of Christ and the actual occurance of something resembling the Bible stories.

I respectfully decline any and all such attempts to bring God/Christ to a level He does not now nor has ever occupied.Even the wind and waves obey HIM -- peace be still, peace be still!As for looking foolish? That's your opinion and my affair.That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
”Mark 4:35-41, NIVBut your concern, Nosy, is endearing. Thank you.

Do you believe that Christ existed? If so then the son of an all-powerful God?

True. The DaVinci Code and other such "cash-in" books....as well as the latest Gospel of Judas controversy.

​

I see it as entrepeneurs seeking to cash in on an old, old story.

Agreed!
Thank you.

As silly as they are, I don't think these ideas necessarily take away from the awesomeness of God's micracles. If he does exist (*scoffs*), then who are we to think less of him for using roundabout methods?

Did you know that due to strange quantum mechanical effects, it's entirely possible for a person to walk through a wall? Possible, but not probable: the chances of it happening are incredibly small. So if I were to tell you that I once walked through a wall, would you believe me? Or would you first require some extraordinary proof for my extraordinary claim?

Funkaloyd I would ask how long you had your nose planted against the wall waiting.

I would ask for a mathamatical or scientific proof then i would want an investegation on it. i would not mearly take anyones word for anything they need proof and if you look deep into Tom's report he has all the support he needs. I read his report throughly and i looked around for awhile to gather some more information on his report and found out that at that time there could have been a 'freek freeze'(do to the climate at the time) so all im say is look into your infor befor you make your statement, as i do for almost all of my statements.
Thank you.This message has been edited by cj4840, 04-12-2006 07:51 PM
