    Husband is jailed for life. Can the wife marry another man?

    The Bible directly links 3 causes for divorce and remarriage. 1. The spouse dies. 2. The spouse has sex with another person. 3. The marriage bond is broken because the spouse is a unbeliever and leaves the marriage. Now when it comes to world adultery, and what breaks a marriage there are...

    How old is our creation really?

    No. I stopped because I realized it was pearl to swines. Y’all don’t understand the theological claims being made and y’all understand science even less. So I stopped. It’s a waste of my time to continue a discussion with y’all. You’re not equipped emotionally or academically to carry on the...

    How old is our creation really?

    As stated before I mentioned the idea that I may have to stop responding. I now know for sure I have to stop. I would be a full to continue to try to help y’all understand the basics of all science and how to understand textual analysis and literary writing styles. I thought as the conversation...

    How old is our creation really?

    Obviously I don’t and that’s what I said. Part of the evidence is that it uses a 24 hour day model before their is even a 24 hour day. Before there is even a sun. If you take it literal then this means you believe this. God hovered above a ball of water that was not frozen and was already...

    Why? Because that’s what it’s based off of for us lol.

    How old is our creation really?

    Exactly. Just like those, the story of genesis 1-11 is clearly wrote mythologically. So we can believe 100% of the story without thinking it’s 100% literal.

    How old is our creation really?

    How could there be a literal 24 hours when a sun was not even existed until a few days in? Again, what does a dragon and sea monster with ten horns mean? Definition of a word is not the same as the context of a story?

    How old is our creation really?

    This book was suggested by other scientists, and the scientist himself brought it up on BL forums. He essentially says that as a geologist and a Christian who sees the clear evidence of a several billion year old year earth he wrote a book to help harmonize the contention created by literalist...

    Speculation for a seemingly biblical contradiction

    One thing to consider is that in Hebrews 11:1-13 it mentions Enoch and being saved from death but in v13 it said that all died. For me , with Enoch at least, I harmonize it by seeing it simply that God took Enoch and saved from from a particular death. He was moved somewhere else. I believe...

    How old is our creation really?

    Again nothing about my belief is atheistic. Evolution is not an atheistic concept anymore than gravity or meteorology. The Bible says God makes it rain, and God makes the seasons changes. So does they mean westher science ( meteorology ) is false? The Bible says God heals us so does they mean...

    How old is our creation really?

    Again a statement that is not accurate and makes no sense.

    How old is our creation really?

    What scientific point are you making? So far nothing we are talking about is about cosmology but picking up well after the formation of the universe and after abiogenesis to the time of life already being here and it’s implications on the age of the earth based off of evolution or not and based...

    How old is our creation really?

    I’m ignoring it because it’s not true. It’s not actually doing the Bible justice and is ignoring the contextual evidence there and it’s completely disconnected to anything even remotely scientific.

    How old is our creation really?

    I’m not nuts..... I’m someone who lays attentions to contextual analysis. It’s how I can tell the difference between the symbolism in revelation and the historical account in exodus and Matthew. The narrative sets up the type of literature we are reading. I also highly suggest you read some...

    How old is our creation really?

    Except it’s not based out of faith guy lol. It is thinking for myself and looking through all the scientific data systematically. You’re saying pesky details in science but ignoring the fact you’re using 11 chapters from thousands of years ago wrote by guys who thought all virgins bleed and...

    https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/loi/14209101 https://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-human-evolution https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/evolutionary-human-sciences That’s three scientific peer reviewed journals and the last two are specifically on solely human evolution. This last...

    How old is our creation really?

    The difference is that my argument is actually in the fossil record. Just go get any single book on evolution or read through any single evolutionary journal. Common descent is what it’s all about. It’s not my fault that you literally disagree with 99.99%+ of what science and scientists teach...

    How old is our creation really?

    You don’t have any idea what you’re talking about with collecting versus producing data. It’s a weird attempt to try to create a argument that’s not there. Her critics by the way, the they, is scientists, normally atheists, trying to undermine her findings. She was the first, it was an outlier...

    I’ve already posted responses to these things. It’s not something that blows evolutionary minds lol. It’s not a crazy thing. It’s something well understood and easily explained away. http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CD/CD011_3.html The case of the snails the scientist doing the study edits...

    How old is our creation really?

    I imagine it did. The context of the story is not mythological. The story of Moses spans 5 books and just a few generations. I did not answer because it’s not related whatsoever to the thread. We are not talking about a unverifiable miracle. The Bible talks about miracles. We are talking...
