Honour Amongst Christians

How so?You mean that your telling me that if we can conclude that the earth was not made before the sun, like Genesis says, then Jesus' message of loving our neighbor must be false as well!?That is preposterous!How weak does your faith have to be to say that if there is one error then I'm throwing the whole thing out?Your faith is a house of cards.Its statements like the one you made that almost make me ashamed to call myself a christian.

"Something such as a man living for 930 years or 969 years is impossible and can safely be accepted as untrue."
Yes in deed it is impossible in our times under ourconditions. If you look at the atmoshperical difference from then till now (aka post flood) life spans have decreased rapidly. Yes as modern medicine improves life span grows, but since the water canopy was let go and the biblical flood ended the oxygen levels have decreased and the radation levels have increased.

But you just made all that up (or someone else did).This is a perfect example of something I despise.Instead of looking at evidence and coming to a conclusion, you are coming to a conclusion and then looking for a way that 'evidence' can be twisted and spun to fit within that conclusion.We see Biblical Literalists do it all the time. When given an obvious contradiction in the Bible, any explanation that they can think of, or make up, that maintains inerrancy in the Bible but also somewhat conforms to reality is the explantation that they "choose" to believe in.Basically they want to have their cake and eat it too.There is no extra-Biblical reason pointing to a water canopy or a change in the atmosphere that would lead to shorter life spans. This is just bullshit that someone made up to forge a plausible explantion for what the Bible claims. It is pretty much lying.These certainly are christians that have no honor.Edited by Catholic Scientist, : No reason given.

Prove it, prove me wrong.

You will not accept it..|.. ^.^ ..|.

You can'y prove me qrong
:laughs:

"People call me strange does that make me a stranger

You can't type And if your theory can't be falsified then it is bullshit.The reason I'm incapable of proving you wrong is becuase you have no honor like the thread is questioning. Anything I say you will just deny. It would be futile for me to try.

Are you suggesting that worldwide conditions have changed in the last 4500 years? If so, how do you know they have changed and what exactly has changed? The thing is my friend this is actually up to you to provide evidence to support what you are claiming. So can you provide evidence that ”conditions’ have changed and that the old conditions supported longevity. Improvements in diets and sanitation helps as well. Water canopy? Which water canopy is this? What evidence do you have that oxygen levels have decreased and radiation levels have increased in the last 4500 years?Also, if thing have changed how do conditions affect longevity.So, essentially, what evidence do you have that people used to live for nearly one thousand years?

But I have read those words while being true to myself and with an open mind and God did not speak to me. (Or, perhaps I was unable to listen correctly at the time, or something like that). I've read the Gospel of John much more than 3 times. In addition, I've had it read to me much more than 3 times. And I've read it slowly while asking God to speak to me. (Although not recently, all about 10 years ago or more) Granted, I thought of Him as "God" rather than "the Lord", but in my mind there's no difference. I've never become aware of any voice of God.Are you suggesting I need to read it again?Are you suggesting I need to re-do this trial every time it doesn't seem to work to me?That... seems like a very large waste of time. Time I could spend actually helping other people. But you're just another person. You're not God. Why should I care as to what you say? There's plenty of people who threaten me in the same way. They all have the same thing in common, they want me to believe what they believe. Why should your words have more weight than anyone elses? Why should I redo your test before I take any of their tests for the first time? You say if I don't bother with your test I'm not being honest. Well, if I don't bother with all 100,000 tests of all the different religions I'm also not being honest. But I'm not capable of putting that much time and effort into this search. I have to earn a living, I have to provide for some family that depends on me. I can't leave them while I go testing every trial anyone puts up to me. So, yes, it may be dishonest of me to not redo your trial. But how can I do otherwise honestly? If I do your trial, I must honestly do all 100,000+ of the other trials for all the other people who claim to know God.What is it about your trial that can set yours apart?All these trials have the same thing in common, there is no way to verify their effectivness. You say "But if at anytime you have thoughts this is true that is God speaking." And I have had those thoughts before, but it was not God speaking, it was me. Is God incapable of sending his voice unless I'm reading the gospel of John? Why can't I just ask God to send His voice to me? Why can't I just openly cry to God for help? Which, of course, I've already done many times with only my own voice as an answer. Does this mean I'm not honest enough? Not open enough? How can I be more honest and open than I'm capable of? Thanks. I have no problems having anyone wish me well.

Wait a minute I was under the impression if a theory can't be disproven than it is a LAW not bull. How does me having no honor make you not be able to prove me wrong. Could it be I can't be?

No, not quite. If a theory can be disproven but isn't, then it becomes accepted.

ZOMG! you don't even know the basics....A theory has to be falsifiable or its junk. Click here.You have to have the honor to not be disingenuous and pedantic. Otherwise, you'll just deny deny deny.You will put yourself in a position where you just cannot be convinced and then deny the evidence piece by piece. That is dishonorable. About the water canopy and ~1000 year old humans? No, you cannot be correct.Besides, it not up to me to prove you wrong. You should prove yourself right. You've made the claim.Edited by Catholic Scientist, : No reason given.

I see still quite far from bull.

Hi Stile, I can assure you it was not the devil.So who was it?Stile it is nothing to me whether you trust God or not I have done what I am told to do and that is to share the wonderful news that God will give you eternal life if you will receive it.The only reward I could gain by you trusting God and receiving eternal life is that we would be able to meet one day and possibly explore the far reaches of this magnificent universe we are privileged to live in. You take care now.God Bless,And I will be praying for you.Edited by ICANT, : No reason given.

First of all this is way of topic.

Genesis 1:6,7 (New American Standard)
Then God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it seperate the waters from the waters."
7 And God made the expanse and seperated the waters which were below the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.
