It's funny, because cereal is my favorite food in the world and I love all kinds... except Froot Loops. I hate them.
I explained this and all you did was ask the question again. Knowledge is not the same as dictation. Let me squeeze this one in there:
It was chosen by us. God is outside of time.
Yeah, show me the word omnipotence in the Bible.
The Greek word translated impossible could be rendered "too difficult", the implication being that there is nothing God tries to do and can't.
Why is that?
For the sake of argument. I don't really believe in that interpretation of Hell, and if you'd like to challenge my literal interpretation based on that, we can flip the script and you quote the verses while I counter.
So if God really was all-powerful like the bible says and DID have a control over hell, he would still be ultimately more concerned with what we think of him than with human suffering.
"You don't love me? BURN IN HELL FOREVER!!!"
Yeah, what a nice guy.
We have to get around to this Hell thing.
Was that a concession?
Oh and you missed the one about the universe not being made in 6 days.
No, it's just been done to death.
Me: "God said let there be light first thing, the light existed of it's own accord."
You: "Duuhr, light without sun? That's unpossible!"
Me: "Luke 1:37."
You: "No true."
Me: "He did it that way on purpose to make you look dumb."
I didn't miss it, I skipped it because it wasn't an argument.
You: It took 50 zillion years.
Me: No it didn't.
And?
I'm sorry, but this is just straight up stupid. Look up light in the dictionary.
So ø÷éò (raqiya) doesn't mean expanse, sky or heaven? You've cracked the Genesis code! I'd better alert The Jews.
I'm just honestly bored talking about it. Ok, so those species didn't exist before, and are the result of a rapid evolution immediately following. And God protected at least two of every kind of fish miraculously. There were miracles involved, God's been known to do that, you know. God sent all the animals, they weren't gathered. Note that because you've implied twice that Noah would have had to go and trap two velociraptors, which by the way were only about the size of dogs when full grown. Is the idea of a flood covering the entire earth not miraculous enough that it becomes implausible based on this?
Actually, it does. The timeline of the bible starting with Adam and Eve covers a 6000 year period of time. That's why we have young Earth creationists trying to prove that Earth is only about that old. They are of course insane, but well... that's what it takes to believe in a literally true bible.
Actually, it doesn't. For one, there are gaps in the genaeologies which that number is based on. Before you whine, quote me a verse which says "These familial records are complete and unabridged." Skipping to the important people was common at the time and much later as well. For another, the 6000 years was not even supposed to be the date of creation. It was determined by Archbishop Ussher by tracing recorded history, the very thing you attempt to discredit it with. Surprising as it may be, there are young Earth creationists just as ignorant as you.
Perhps no mention of the Earth rotating or going around sun is made because they didn't know. No mention is made of the sun rotating around the Earth either. Wonder why that is. Yes, the roman catholic chruch was very much too stupid to tell the difference. Thought you knew.
I've already explained that I use the word literal because it quickly familiarizes people with the predominant slant of the viewpoint. If I say "I interpret the Bible correctly." what reaction will I get? Interpret the Bible literally when it speaks literally. Do not even attempt to broach the subject of Genesis not being intended as literal, it's cross referenced so many times it's literal intention is one of the most verifiable things in the Bible.
Yes, I do have more evidence because they're stupid and I'm not. The Bible also says that sin is crouching at your door. "That means sin is a person with a body! How else could it crouch?!" That's not what literal is.
I responded to them. Not all of them, because I don't want to sit here all day. There are none I can't respond to. Pick some that are important to you. One is for personal conduct, one is directed at a government. You're making this easy.
Remember what I said about literal? If I come on here and say "I reject a humanistic view of abiogenesis.", the response will be "Prince used a school word!" You know very well that I'm familiar with the word because I referenced it in the last post directed at you.
But Genesis is proved false by Lord of the Rings. Uh-oh.
Ask a stupid question...
I said if I presuppose the existance of Hell as we know it, we would be robots if God didn't send anybody there.
You've completely missed the point. Three times now I've said that I was working within the framework of Heaven and Hell already existing as we know them.
Because you don't understand why it makes sense, therefore you conclude it didn't happen.
This implies that he actually gave us free will. He didn't.
He did.
Yeah, unless you're stupid. If there's no God, do you have free will? Think carefully before answering.
He is very stupid and likes pain?
No.
To boost his ego. That's pretty obvious. A deity that requires worship and praise has a HUGE ego problem.
No. For another thing, a deity who is worthy of worship and praise has no ego problem for requiring it. That's like saying that you're selfish and greedy for expecting to get paid when you go to work.
Site verse, please.
Romans 1:18 through 2:16.
Again, verse.
2 Samuel 12:23. See also 2 Samuel 13:14, Hebrews 11:32.
No. It's more like your mother telling you to hold her hand while you cross the street, you refusing, and getting run down.
I changed my mind. I'll only do it if it matters, and then only if I feel like it. Please don't play dumb.
