Begone mutt, you truly bore me.
“Want some gopher, Everett?”
You are SO bad!
Then you will have to toss these verses out, too.
Acts 17:26-27
26. From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.
27. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.
Romans 5:12-21
12. Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned--
13. for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law.
14. Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come.
15. But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!
16. Again, the gift of God is not like the result of the one man's sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification.
17. For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.
18. Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men.
19. For just as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
20. The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
21. so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
If there were no
one man, that means SIN did NOT enter the World thru him.If
Adam was NOT the one man, that means SPIRITUAL DEATH did not come thru him.If SIN did NOT enter the World thru the
one man, that means Jesus does not save from SIN.Are we to believe that the
one man is symbolic? Does that mean Jesus is symbolic as well?The Theory of Evolution states that there WAS no one man, but a wide population that managed to inherit that last mutated gene that makes MEN different from APES.
Acts 17:24-26 24. "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. Was LUKE wrong about this? 1 Corinthians 11:8-9 1 Timothy 2:13
If so, is GOD so puny that He allows this 'inaccuracy' in His Word?? |
Genesis 2:18
The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."
Uh...
Isn't the problem the same as with Adam & Eve?
good catch!

Paleontology and bibliology are two different sciences, so it would be unwise to try to make any comparisons. But I do believe in the premise that fossils and skeletons have been manipulated in sad attempts to prove macro evolution. There is some evidence as such (Ref: The Case for a Creator, Strobel, page 59).
As for the Bible, I believe there are, and have been, agents throughout history that have tried to twist, and even change biblical truth. The Apostle Paul marveled that the church at Galatia so early had clung to a false gospel; so it was happening the early church in the first century (Gal 1:6-7). I don’t think those attempts have stopped. Satan, doesn’t stop.
But I underscore that we have a direct promise from God that He will preserve His Word forever. So the question is not how many times we can count reconstruction, inferior manuscripts, or whatever. The question is: Did God preserve His Word?
He said he did. Ps 12:6-7, Ps 119:152, Ps 119:89, Mt 24:35, 1 Pe:23.
The second question is: Can we dust for fingerprints across history to piece it together?
I say yes. There are many good authors on the subject. My favorite is “Final Authority”, by Dr William P Grady. Key in on the Hebrew Masoretic and the Greek Received Text.
God Bless.

Mineralization that preserves structures on the subcellular level has to be very rapid. Also, commercial processes can do this in a matter of days.
The Earth was born in fire and catastrophe approximately five billion years ago.
In another five billion years, it will again face similar conditions as the sun expands to a red dwarf stage.
Between those two extremes, a window of opportunity for life, and for humanity. Make of it what you will.
Punctuations of disaster and opportunity have served to goad and guide us to reach, ultimately, for the stars.
One way or another, humanity will find God.
You wonder about whether he was there, but you accept my outrageous contention two posts earlier that I was?
See my home page for my documentary evidence. (Hint: "... somewhere they broke a dam ...")

“oh, and the Bible said so.”
What “Christian” reads that book? (Sarcasm)
;)
Of course it says that but many have itchin ears and don’t bother reading the Bible and have NO FAITH on what it says een if they have read that part.
It seems quick to me, too, but I suppose his being missing under these conditions, as opposed to disappearing without an obvious cause, is sufficient for a legal presumption of death.
