Scholars teach us that the book of Genesis splices two different flood stories into one. For example, the first author states two of each kind of animal enters the ark, making no distinction between clean and unclean:
Genesis 6:19 And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt...
You forgot the ten year difference in year of birth of Jesus. Luke used the Census of Quirinius as a lame excuse to get him to Bethlehem. That census was in 6 CE. Matthew has him born while Herod was still alive. Herod died in 4 BCE.
Yeah, I have a very ow view of humanists. They are at the bottom of the pecking order, so I don't know why you copied and pasted their nonsense here. The humanist view is totally irrelevant and not valid in any way shape or form. Humanism is a fake theory down to it's very core, as it has no...
Is this a gee up?
The bible is full of contradictions, hundreds and hundreds of them. And I think if you believe there isn't hundreds of them, then you have been brainwashed.
Here's just a few:
Examples of New Testament Contradictions
Both genealogies begin with Jesus’ father, who is...
Much more.... Copying and pasting from a silly apologetic site (Before Creation There Was... Water?) is hardly enough.
I suppose you understand what you wrote, right? That in the chaos, before any creation had taken place, before even light or the earth had taken shape, there were waters! We...
The Bible doesn’t begin with the Spirit of God hovering over a gently flowing stream (that is later) or a peaceful, calm sea (again, later). It begins with the Spirit of God hovering over a double image of water. Two words are used to describe this chaotic, pre-created sea: “the deep” (tehom)...

Yes, an Ark was built by Jesus, when He came the first time. But there is a Prophecy, that, when Christ comes again, He will make a new covenant, meaning, a new Ark:
"This is what the LORD Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "When I bring them back from captivity, the people in the land of...
KJV: Genesis7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
Some translations say "springs" instead of "fountains".
The Bible says no...
You're right but It has already happened. The warning was announced 2000 years ago:
“Repent, for the kingdom of God has come near.”
"Unless you repent, you too will all perish."
And "the ark" was built:
Mark 16
15 He said to them [the apostles], “Go into all the world and preach the gospel...
This might be credible and even relevant if you can ─
(a) point to even one credible example of these caverns, and
(b) explain how bringing water up from underground can raise the world's water levels at all, let alone by 28,000 feet or more, since the spaces it previously occupied would...
True, but that is not the problem with the belief of JW. Jw rejects the sciences of evolution based on their interpretation of Genesis,

It is clear as day that the authors of Genesis and other scriptural books don't understand that the rain, hail and snow come from clouds.
They believed that the water for rain come from the water above the sky (above the firmament or dome), when some windows simply open up. As it is case in...
YoursTrue.
You and I know that rain, rainstorms, hail and snow come from the clouds, but it is clear that when the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) were composed from the 6th century and later, none of the authors or editors understood that natural phenomena of the clouds.
In every instances...
A poetic idea, certainly, but actually I think we need to keep our heads and remember, first, the huge advances in our lives that the use of fossil fuels have enabled over the last 150yrs, and second, that nobody reasonable is suggesting climate change threatens the extinction of humanity...
Oil is mostly ancient sea life that lived in a period millions and millions of years before humans existed.
Coal is even older and comes from plant life and trees.
So, no.
Note my plan with this question isnt a loaded gun …im not exactly trying to play YEC games. I was reading about a seemingly unrelated topic this morning (fossil fuels and climate change) and this thought popped into my head. So i wish to make it clear, my aim in this topic isnt to generate a YEC...
