    The Lords Prayer - ‘Thine is the Kingdom…’

    I don't agree with your conclusion. Firstly, the English word 'hell', as used in Jonah 2:3, is 'sheol' in Hebrew. This word has a specific usage in the Hebrew scriptures. It refers to the place of the departed, the dead. If Jonah was alive in the belly of the great fish, then he was able to...

    The Lords Prayer - ‘Thine is the Kingdom…’

    According to Jewish thinking? Which Jewish thinking. Are you aware of what Jesus said about "Jewish thinking" and that "Jewish thinking" is what got Jesus killed? I hope you accept Jesus thinking, rather than "Jewish thinking". The apostles were Jews, but they were instructed by Jesus, to watch...

    The Lords Prayer - ‘Thine is the Kingdom…’

    Are you aware that Jonah's soul was in 'sheol'? According to Jewish thinking, 'sheol' is the place of departed souls. Jonah 3:2. '...out of the belly of hell ('sheol') cried l...' Jonah 3:6'...yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O LORD my God.' If Jonah never died, then why did...

    Why would you expect geography before the flood the exactly match geography after the flood? "River Gihon could not possibly flow from Mesopotamia and encompass Ethiopia (Gen 2:11) "2:13)

    "Thread" is not a proper noun and does not need to be capitalized in the middle of a sentence. Take a poll, see if I am OT. Meantime, I will assume that you find the flood indefensible, and dont care to expose that.

    Had you notice what you given is the heading ( Inaccuracies, scientific issues and more) Now from there in post #1, you'll find the list of subjects to be debated, which are as follows, but there not one them makes any mentioning of a flood. As you say. So here's the list. Then show where a...

    Two possibilities: You are right, God remains unknown, I will die and become nothing, even less than the nothing I now am, a blob of chemicals (why are you at RF, go be meaningless somewhere less spiritual?). You are wrong, and looking at even random "mistakes" you've cited, you are completely...

    There are no historical errors in the bible, it's just your taking things out of their context and trying to imply them to fit your agenda. As I will show plainly below that there is no contradictions or errors in the bible. River Gihon could not possibly flow from Mesopotamia and encompass...

    This list of course is not yours. It's copy and paste. I have no idea of your own ideas are about each item. Some of the terms such as 'shekels', 'Ur of the Chaldeas' etc were translations of earlier documents. Saying 'Ur of the Sumerians' for instance, would be problematic because people...

    The Problem of the Bible: Inaccuracies, contradictions, fallacies, scientific issues and more.

    Well, clearly many of these are just grasping at straws at best and really prove nothing. Others are stretching the truth and are even outright misrepresentations. Others just need some thought applied. It's really just a "take down the Bible" list. I can't take most of these objections seriously.

    These are mistakes, only to the literalists ; Those who treat bible as a literal history book. Take for instant, genesis 2:13. It is obviously symbolic. There are hidden meanings in the story of Adam and Eve, and the Eden. There is no Eden on earth geographically.

    The bible is not a history book, still less is it a science textbook. Only fools would take it to be either.

    It is perfectly fine to refer to an account with modern names in order for the hearers to understand the locations better It is perfectly fine to refer to value of a transaction in an equivalent amount understood by the readers Depends what 'crossing Nineva' means Traveling through Nineveh...

    River Gihon could not possibly flow from Mesopotamia and encompass Ethiopia (Gen 2:13) B. The name Babel does not come from the Hebrew word 'balbal' or 'confuse' but from the babylonian 'babili' or 'gate of God' which is a translation of the original Sumerian name Ka-dimirra. (Gen 11:9) C. Ur...

    Theists: How do you determine that God is not a malevolent being?

    Thanks for those. It seems he found Noah so many not a mistake. The next three things he told people to manipulating them to do what he wanted

    Theists: How do you determine that God is not a malevolent being?

    Good thing their far enough apart to not fall into a larger planets gravity well. You know, like comets and asteroids do, and like other planets do. Or things that get too close to a star or black hole. Genesis 6:6-7 1 Samuel 15:11 Exodus 32:14 Jonah 3:3-10 And a couple others in Moses' plight...

    A Universal Issue we need to understand

    Simple: If a young lady 'regretted' getting pregnant at age 15 but chose not to have an abortion, I do not think that that is sufficient to say that she did not regret getting pregnant so young. Likewise, if Jehovah regretted making man but still allow man to prolong/survive, it is not...

    A Universal Issue we need to understand

    if he thought creating humans was a mistake, why did he let Noah and his family survive and why did he subsequently allow them to reproduce more humans? Obviously he did not change his mind with regard to filling the earth with mankind. So that should tell us that the 'regret' meant...

    Hell is not discipline; it is torture

    Verse 4 there is a conditional prophecy. It's a warning to Ninevah. Ironically, Ninevah later on does turn against God again and God does destroy it.

    Hell is not discipline; it is torture

    Jonah 3: 3-10 3 Jonah obeyed the word of the LORD and went to Nineveh. Now Nineveh was a very important city—a visit required three days. 4 On the first day, Jonah started into the city. He proclaimed: "Forty more days and Nineveh will be overturned." 5 The Ninevites believed God. They declared...
