Alright. I think the Bible is pretty straightforward when it comes to doctrine, actually. But I get your point. I hate to tell you this, but the most common reply I have received from other Christians is that "Adam never existed". And they will never be convinced otherwise. That ship has sadly...

That's basically what I am trying to figure out. To me it seems there are 3 equally likely possibilities: A) The ages are real and they also coincidently correspond with astronomical phenomena (lunar cycles) B) The ages are not based on actual ages but God told Mose's to write these ages to...

Cool. I've only recently started posting about this on a few various sites and so far it seems not too many people are interested. It's kind of niche topic, I guess.

For the last 10 months or so, I have been engaging online somewhat regularly with Dr. Ron Garret. He's the guy who was in this recent debate with "MadebyJimbob" found here: The screenshot of him that ModernDayDebates used in their Youtube thumbnail is somewhat unflattering. He has this kind of...

It took me quite a while before I felt I could explain the paper accurately. I tried emailing him a couple times, but I guess he is retired. I had a prior interest in the Ein-Gedi mosaic and was already familiar with some of the ideas this paper involves when I first came across it. The...

I think that ancient astronomy and calendrics might have been more important than we realize. The constellations of the zodiac seem to have been known almost since the dawn of recorded human history.

Specifically, the begatting ages and the amount of years it takes for a new moon to occur in the next zodiacal sign at the same celestial longitude. In Luke 4:17 Jesus enters the synagogue in Nazareth and is handed the scroll of Isaiah to read from. It was not a coincidence this particular...

We can't know how screwed up his life was, but unless he was insane then obviously this kid had heart. There are over 2 billion of us and we could not help him? One look at us would have only encouraged him all the more to put a bullet in that stupid man's face. We will kiss the backsides of...

Why does anybody do anything?

While we were busy trying to figure out how many thousands of dollars someone should pay to study the Bible, this baby was getting whacked in the head with a machette by people who came to slaughter Christians in Nigeria. This was on Christmas of last year. Yes. Christmas.

I think institutions take power away from Christianity. In the west we build Christian institutions to teach people to fight against other western Christian institutions. While Christians are slaughtered elsewhere in the world.

Yes To part of me it seems you are playing too much by "their" rules and not considering the power of God.

That's a good point. But even though I might be wrong about some of the things I am saying, there is still something that frustrates me about your last post. Even if I cannot explain why.

This is not an attack. I am certain that the people who are most involved with this forum have likely been put up to sacrifice more and have dedicated themselves more and have a better understanding of most things than I have. Actually I am not only certain of this, I know that it this a fact.

God is more powerful than the government. No one has the right to charge people to teach them God's word. God's word is strong enough so that those who teach it will be sustained. The Holy Spirit will move people to sustain it. Paul and the early Christians were not sustained by miracles. They...

This is such a great point that others are also beginning to raise. Why are Christian colleges charging people $40,000 to study the Bible when they can study it themselves for free at home? We don't need institutions. We are doing it all wrong. There are over 2 billion people in this world who...

I am happy to gamble little bits and pieces of my health and life away, if it helps me to not turn to a life of crime and grieving my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Sometimes my Christian brothers and mothers whom I have never even met before are put in jail for just for defending innocent lives...

It's so obvious. I just can't understand how anyone could argue otherwise.

I didn't want to take it but I am poor and I could not risk losing my job. What lousy luck. ☹️

Oh no, I took the Johnson & and Johnson vax. Does that mean I am contaminated now? Or was the J&J one safe?
