Free Republic is a fringe right-wing Christian fundamentalist site... or so they say... and they might even be right.
We don't go for any of that godless left-wing big government socialist malarkey. And we do put our faith and trust in God, not government. We are pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Family, pro-Country and pro-Liberty.
We do not believe that government or science knows what's best for us or our children. We will make our own decisions thank you very much.
Every once in a while some group of posters get together and try to bend Free Republic to their will. Now, we tend to be pretty free-wheeling around here and will take a lot of guff and a lot of obnoxious insults from a lot of people, but eventually a breaking point is reached.
For example, when a group of RINO lovers recently banded together to try to force FR to accept an abortionist/gay rights RINO as our presidential candidate, they soon found themselves on the outs.
And a few years ago a group of evolutionists tried to force FR over to their way of thinking and they soon found themselves on the outs.
FR is a pro-God, pro-Creator, pro-Life, pro-Liberty site.
And now we have yet another group of Darwinists trying to have their Darwinist way with us. Well, as I've said before what doesn't kill us will only make us stronger.
Darwin Central has again declared war on FR. They have ping lists and email lists and will try to pull away as many FReepers as they possibly can. So be it. Those who would rather go with Darwin, please go. I sure as hell won't try to stop you.
FR will remain a pro-God, pro-Life, pro-Liberty, pro-Creator conservative site.
We wholeheartedly believe that our unalienable rights are a gift from God our Creator not from man or government. And no man, no government will ever deprive us of same.
Keep your powder dry.
If you been here that long you ought to know how to find the answer to that.
And you do believe that we are endowed by Our Creator with certain unalienable rights, right?
Oh.
No. I was asking CaptRon if that was what he wanted explained.
First of all, the OT has gone through so many translations, some of it has become disjointed. I believe there are things in the OT that are so remarkable that they are deliberately wrongfully explained because the truth would set the entire world to stumbling and mumbling.
There were an awful lot of things that the Hebrew Mystics kept to themselves so they could maintain a hierarchy and hold on to the reins of power. Those things have been lost.
It is extremely unfortunate.
But I can show you where there is a complete description of man’s transition from living on instinct and environment to the fullness of reason. Not from apes to man, but man at his beginning evolving to a man of reason. Of course, no one counts that as evolution in the Darwinian sense, certainly not me, and science chooses to overlook what the Bible says as myth. It isn’t. It is a virtual explanation of almost anything you need to know,physics, the nature of things, and even the extinction if things. But I believe in G-d with every fiber of my being, and the more I learn, the more I believe.
There are descriptions of men fleeing molten lava and seeing it burn through forests like trees were matchsticks, or lava flowing into water causing the lakes and rivers to boil. There are descriptions of dinosaurs and “sea monsters.”
But noone reads it that way because they completely reframed the context into some kind of OT Aesop’s Fable. It isn’t. It is literal.
So do the Catholics ...even if we haven’t entirely worked out that Darwin thing.
Recall, if you will, that the Christ was born a Jew, lived as a Jew and died a Jew. The “Last Supper” was a Seder meal and Jesus never rejected the Torah or the Laws given to Moses. Jesus was always referred to as “Rabbi”, or “teacher”.
The importance of the Old Testament should never be questioned.
You have faith that ID is not science? :-)
Yes, I do, I'm pretty well-read.
Yes, I do, I'm pretty well-read.
Do you know what ID is and do you understand it?
Do you know what Darinism (or as we educated people call it "evolution") is?
:-)
Word!
It seems like some of the animals were made from left over parts, but He did a good job of using everything in creation...
But many did leave him over his saying of drinking his blood and eating his body...
I remember hearing an old say that man plans and God laughs...How many of us end up in places that never fit into our plans....
I also know that many that say Lord Lord will not enter the kingdom and many who never thought they would are invited in...I don't know where I will end up...I don't issue the invitations...
If someone whats to tell me they know where they will end up or where I will, don't bother, God issues the invitation not any man.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. But the one thing that no biblical scholar avoids trying to explain is why God came down to earth to kill him in the first place. And even more interesting, in the chapter before, God and Isaiah meet Moses in Moses’ tent. You don’t see a pagan influence there?
Yes I do. Studying for my paralegal certificate, but believed that before. What’s your point?
But Darwinism is not synonymous with evolution as an educated person would know.
Further, a "pretty well-read" person would understand that ID is not necessarily opposed to evolution including aspects of evolution to which Biblical literalists object such as common descent.
Now since you are such a "pretty well-read" person why don't you think ID is science?
That I guess you are “right-wing creationist” after all, so what are you bitching about?
After many years then, So Long.
No. NOt at all. King James.
If you go there, it is of your own accord.
I have somewhere near 40 books on the Christian religion on my bookshelves. Several versions of the Bible. No one dares to explain that verse.
