Re: Genesis 1:2-12 and the Hydrologic Cycle

OK, for sake of argument: Adam had no wrinkles, no belly button, but he was an adult - that absent age indicators of physical decay, wounds, etc., he would otherwise have appeared as a man with a infancy and childhood that led to his appearance of his first day. The wine in Cana - same deal, it no d...

Re: For all those who drink Beer - Rejoice!

Rick: My father's drinking had that much of an influence on me, that I just don't want to take any chances. Very wise, Rick. And I don't blame you! It isn't a thing to take lightly. I think about it a lot with two young boys coming along. All I know is that I am grateful that my father did not drin...

Re: Suppose it was me instead of Trump?

So many people can't seem to distinguish the difference between being upset at or criticizing the actions and words of people with a certain racial background and merely being upset with them ONLY due to their race. The first is holding people, WHATEVER their race, accountable for what they do and s...

Re: For all those who drink Beer - Rejoice!

Completely absurd is the contention that God ordained only FRESH wine - that goes against commons sense, history and knowledge of ancient practices. So, Jesus didn't' approve of wine but chooses that beverage for His first miracle? And is it not this very same beverage in which Scripture indicates p...

Re: Genesis 1:2-12 and the Hydrologic Cycle

I still contend that if a wine expert could examine that wine, there'd be no evidence that the wine was old. Only that it was wine. I say it would be indistinguishable - else the miracle wouldn't be quite the miracle one might think. Could not God make it indistinguishable? But again, we're told it...

Re: For all those who drink Beer - Rejoice!

Since no one knows What affect alcohol / drugs will have on a person -- it's Better to leave it alone in the 1st place. What would Jesus do? Or what has he already DONE? Was His example one of being a teetotaler? y:-? Did many in ancient Israel not also get hammered silly? Did that stop Jesus from ...

Re: Genesis 1:2-12 and the Hydrologic Cycle

Ultimately, the claim that the God of creation would lie to us with a false history of the universe, is a direct attack on the righteous character of God I agree, that no matter the truth, God has not given us a false history! And such an assertion WOULD be an attack upon the character of God. Howe...

Re: For all those who drink Beer - Rejoice!

Paul: I shan't lower myself to argue with a non-Guinness drinker. You, Sir, have the boorish manners of a Yale man ! Don't know about the Yale stuff, but I so love Guinness Extra Stout. Seems they are better when they are terribly cold - not warm - but just right. As for drinking alcohol, the Lord ...

Re: Genesis 1:2-12 and the Hydrologic Cycle

Holding up Adam as an analogy for how the earth and universe could LOOK old but be very young is not a good one. For one, he is not held up as an example of God's creation to be studied to determine such things, and God knew that those living in his time would not think to do so nor would have any c...

Re: All prayers needed

Hana, is there any news on Tomas, has anything changed since your last update. I just realized it has been nearly a year since you informed us something was wrong with Tomas. You both were on my mind this morning.

Re: For all those who drink Beer - Rejoice!

Rick: That's nothing new. Miller Lite beer has tasted like urine as far back as I can remember. :beer: ABSOLUTELY!!! Most American beer tastes like horse whiz! Give me a nice, dark, malted, somewhat sweet/bitter craft beer or stout, ANY day! I remember, as a young kid, being absolutely disgusted wi...

Re: The biblical flood date

WHATEVER the case might be about the AGES of the earth, the universe, man, Adam, the flood, etc., the many, many scientific evidences from many fields and cross-validating evidences that all point to a great age should never be casually dismissed. That just cannot be an accident! And we're told that...

Re: The Islamist Threat and American Immigration

Funny thing is, when many who deem certain things an "acceptable, necessary or moral risk," if a similar scenario is applied to their own loved ones and immediate family, their typical response, instead, would be: "NO WAY!!!" Again, this PC sensibility comes down to numbers - one...
