NtheSeaOrSky 0 #29 September 11, 2005 I once dumped a guy becasue we had religious differences...he thought he was God and I disagreed But seriously, sparing you my twisted religious beliefs, I won't discount the belief that God created life. It is a fact, however, that creatures today are not the same as they were many years ago. Did God create them then and they evolved-and if so, does that make today's being any less created by God- or did he create them yesterday or another arbitrary day? You can't plant a flower and get a dog, even after many centuries. (Some of us can plant a flower and not even get a flower)Life is not fair and there are no guarantees...

chuteless 1 #33 September 12, 2005 Not in the least will it be shaken....God's plan will be carried out regardless.

Hi Bill, as you know, I'm not convinced a bit but, highly interested. Don't you think it needs more proof for your statements than just a reference to your (personal King James) bible?

Whatever he believes (as long as it doesn't require he kill people or torture small animals or something) is fine. And if the world doesn't end soon, he can believe something else.

No problem believing the earth is flat, either - as long as when you fly you assume that latitude and longitude are coordinates on a globe. I would find it hard to reconcile the two, but everyone is different. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuteless 1 #41 September 13, 2005 NO not at all. The King James Bible IS the definitive WORD of God, and this is the same God that created the world , the galaxies, and everything that you can see. Why should I need more proof than God's eternal TRUTH.????? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GTAVercetti 0 #44 September 13, 2005 QuoteQuote The King James Bible IS the definitive WORD of God His original word was in English? Ah, I'm missing something here... Yes, don't you get it? No one got it right until English came along. Everyone else was wrong..mostly because they could not understand what God was saying in English. What with them speaking Herbrew or Aramaic or whatever. So essentially, everyone following a Bible BEFORE KJ has gone to Hell because they were following the wrong word. Even though it did not exist and no one told them otherwise. Sorry, lets get back to the evolution arguement instead of a Bible arguement...that is what windcatcher's thread is for!Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

chuteless 1 #45 September 13, 2005 Yes Scooby....you sure ARE missing something !!! The original manuscripts were written in Hebrew, and Greek, by more than 40 different writers over a 1500 year period. God directed those original writings to come together under the auspices of King james in 1607, and four years later, the first printing of those writings as the WORD of God was printed. It amazes me, that even those who comment on the works of the men God appointed to write His WORD, cannot understand that God is so omnipotent, that He could do this. The GOD of all time, who owns ALL time, and created everything mankind has ever seen, including the galaxies, the sun, the moon, surely wouldn't find directing His chosen servants to write as He wanted, and then follow through with bringing those writings from various places, to come together at a certain location at a certain time. That may prove a difficult job for man, but with God , ALL things are possible. For those who think God couldnt do that....they really don't know God. Bill Cole .

billvon 3,107 #47 September 13, 2005 So: The Old Testament in original Hebrew: not the word of God The original Gospel according to Matthew: not the word of God Greek translations of the Bible: not the word of God First King James translation of the Bible: the word of God Second King James translation of the Bible: not the word of God any more New International translation, English Standard translation, translations into any other language - not the word of God Is that a fair summary? How lucky then that we, who are speaking a variant of a language brought to England by the Angle, Saxon, and Jute tribes (from Germany, Denmark and Holland respectively) are the only ones natively equipped to understand the word of God! All those lesser languages must be hatin life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
