He says so after there are enough people running around. If they would have kept on going at it like they were, they would have diminished the gene pool in each individual group. That doesn't change the fact that we're related if the Adam and Eve story was true. According to the Adam Eve story, you...

Not to be off-topic, but after seeing "Dogma" I cried because of how offensive and sinful it was. And I'm not a cry-baby! I shiver whenever it gets mentioned! I agree with you though. Yeah, it's just a movie and shouldn't be accepted as fact. But that one particular quote was relevant, so...

Mary, after having Jesus, had absolutely no reason at all to remain a virgin. When she got impregnated with Jesus, she married Joseph and ran off to Bethlehem. After having Jesus, she had the Holy Son, and a husband. Why should a wife and husband remain virgins after being married? Like on the movi...

It's possible that the whole story of Adam and Eve was a myth inspired by God to get a point accross. Jesus told several stories to get points accross, and Jesus is a reflection of God, so it would make sense that God would do this as well. The moral of the story being that if you believe Satan over...

Satan is tossed in a burning lake for a 1000 years without suffering such effects. Spiritual fire may not be completely analogous to physical fire. It may not destroy spirit like physical fire destroys matter. No, he gets thrown into a bottomless pit for 1000 years. Then cast into the fire and disi...

Doesn't it say later in the Bible that God makes a promise to Elijah that he will never see death?

You also have to ignore the verses that talk about gnashing of teeth They can't gnash their teeth before being disintegrated in the fire? So my thinking is that we have to take a few steps back in order to understand how both viewpoints can make sense. The question then becomes, what does it mean t...

If hell were eternal punishment then John 3:16 should read "..and whomever shall believe in Him shall not burn forever, but live in a paradise" instead of "....and whomever shall believe in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life" It would also read in another part of the ...

comparing homosexuality to depression is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. It's not an illness, it's a lifestyle choice. One that doesn't hurt anybody. Whether genetic or not is irrelevant. It should be accpeted regardless of its origin. Being a serial killer is a lifestyle choice too, should ...

I am also a little puzzled as to why you draw the line with humanity? If humanity evolved from animals, then there would a bunch of other humans. Meaning Adam wouldn't need to have a rib removed to make Eve, b/c he could just pick from one of the other female humans in existence. However, Adam requ...

Re: Regarding OEC

I know most of you believe in OEC, and reject the idea of thiestic evolution. So, how did different species and stuff come about? Was there just animals appearing out of the air in the middle of the day or what? I don't see why at least animal evolution isn't accepted by OECs. it's in the bible!!! ...

OK then, so why would they call space "water" when it isn't water? Do you mean clouds and water vapor and stuff?

The bible does not teach about a canopy of water, simply because the firmament and "the waters above" are both mentioned way after genesis. The firmament the sky and everything in it if I remember correctly.. It says in Genesis that God separated the waters with an expanse. And if somethi...
