The simplest answer is that Dinosaurs lived 62 million years ago, about the time that the Yucatan event happened. We don't know for sure then Man was created. The most available data shows he was in existence in 3000 BC. Upright walking pre-humans started appearing up to 170,000 years ago...

It is confusing to those outside the Arab world that many of them feel that Allah SWT is so great that he can not have a body, so can not have a Son. I don't validate that sentiment but that is what they think, and it is why they do not believe in the crucifiction. I don't see a punitive and...

LOL, good luck with finding a woman that will give up her right to challenge you when she does not agree. :)

Sadly cruel smirk about women is well into human culture.

I think I wrote about this already. I think the Jews killed Jesus, as they did many Prophets. I'm not anti Semitic. It is a bit late for that.

How do I find that?

There were various Authors that did not directly contribute to the NT. Perhaps early Muslims read the work of the wrong Author. Remember, a lot of this was happening before the Black Plague and Dark Ages. Much was lost. For me lots of what the Monks of the Catholic church carried forward is...

What I offer are simply my opinions. I do not intend to walk into someone's church and cast shade on what they say. I say that the Jews killed Jesus, and they did that to many of the prophets. Some argue that the Romans killed him. I was in Israel in 2001 and seeing what I saw there did nothing...

It is disgusting to listen to those who are not Muslim try to teach about Islam. The original Qur'an was written in Classical Arabic and no longer spoken or well understood. When I was active, we were taught that Yusuf Ali did the best "interpretation" of it. It might be fruitful to look him up...

Well, there is that school of thought that Genesis 3:16, and any scripture that follows that mentions women is evidence of God's continuing punishment. Eve did not willfully sin, she was deceived.

I think the Doctrine of not allowing women to preach is Paul's invention, and he was a sexist.

Jesus is the Son of God. I question that he died for our sins. He was resurrected on the third day. The Bible says that forgiveness follows repentance. If you are a drunken wife abuser, no amount of crying out to Jesus will save you unless you repent. I study the Bible exhaustively and not...

This is disgusting.

It was still best to get America out of Afghanistan. I served during Vietnam. It was a war so the rich could make money by making war machines.

Gen. 6:2 Sons of God Matt 3:17 This is my Son My question is: are the words Sons and Son, the same word in the original text? The Matt text being much more recent, and the Genesis text being from the earliest text that we have. Here might lie a need for interpretation from a Scholar. I do have...

Luke 17:3-4 keeps it simple. We try to make excuses by saying we must have someone greater than ourselves to teach and explain to us. We are lying to ourselves.

For me, loving justice and mercy and walking humbly with God (Micah 6:8) are key. Having learned to be an Introvert because of circumstances, a simple thing like being nice to people is often a challenge.

As Told to me by a Pastor of a church, only about 10% of attendees read the Bible and of those, only a small fraction understand what they read. And, there are just lots of people of the cloth that say lay folk can not understand it at all. That became one of the reasons I became a student of...

I have attended, and experienced modern Charismatic services and found them personally intolerable, but that is just my personal preference. There are certain folk who find that sort of worship to be therapeutic and healing, and I find no fault in them.

I have some hard personal limits on what happens on Sunday, but they are for me. Others may do as they wish. Loud Rock, heavy bass music is not acceptable. I go to Sunday worship for Communion and to worship God and Jesus.
