Well if you want to swing by the food section of this forum, i'll follow you there and send me some menus from these restaurants so i can give you a review and you can review my restaurants too and maybe we can see how we do in that section.

what's the food section called?

when i sell a plot of land i inherited lately, i'm going to treat my wife & i to hackleback caviar. that comes from the mississippi.

Wonder why we never heard much about Mr Issippi?

That's not what the Lord said in His Word:

1 John 1:5 says, God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.

My mistake, I thought God was God. You make the error of assuming that because God is light, then light must be God. That is evidently not true. Read the creation account in Genesis. God created light.

are you a born again Christian? if so, it's odd that you don't believe the earth is 6 or 7,000 years old. when i fully retire, i may read that info. what God says about anything is tops & true! what do you know about drumming, silver coins, antiques or gourmet dining?

That the earth is only 6 or 7,000 years old is not a given. I agree that the current creation is about that time scale. However, God's word implies that there was a creation prior to Genesis 1:2. It's known as Gap theory or the pre-Adamic creation. One proponent is Larry Ollison, I've watched his videos on the subject. Watchman Nee also spoke about this in His book, "The Mystery of Creation". It answers some difficult questions about the age of the earth and why it appears to be older than 7,000 years.

I do not believe in billions of years or even millions. However, the reality is that no one can prove the past because it is all circumstantial evidence. And it has no bearing on salvation. All I will say is that you can be born again and believe in a relatively old earth.​

I see so 1 John 1:5 is a lie?

Hey, it's good to know that you're not hardlining on exactly 6-7k years old.
