More Questions for Christians
1. If the holy spirit inspired which books of the bible were to be canonized, why were hebrews, james and 3 john left out the first few times? Did the spirit change it's mind?

2. Do you believe jonah really was able to live in a fish and survive?

3. Is the entire bible the truth?

4. If the entire bible is the truth, how do we not accept slavery anymore? How do we say homosexuality is ok?

5. Was the flood through out the entire earth? If so, do we have fossil evidence of a massive killing of everything?

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Because the proveanaunce was not avaiable the first few times, even if the books were to eventually be apart of canonical scripture.

Quote:2. Do you believe jonah really was able to live in a fish and survive?
yes

Quote:3. Is the entire bible the truth?
It is truth where it it is intended to be taken as truth. Proverbs are wise saying, psalms are to be taken as song and hyms, Books of prophesy are to be taken as prophesy, Books of the Law are to be taken as books of the Law ect...

Quote:4. If the entire bible is the truth, how do we not accept slavery anymore?
What are you talking about? We do! It's just been re packaged and sold to western soceity as 'outsourcing.'

Quote:How do we say homosexuality is ok?
Self righteousness. When Righteousness comes from self then 'Self' can justify anything. That it is why it is so important to say their is no God. Without God the source of righteousness defaults to self.

Quote:5. Was the flood through out the entire earth? If so, do we have fossil evidence of a massive killing of everything?
ROFLOL
Maybe look up how fossils are formed/How long it takes. Then do some math starting with the flood and working your way back to present.

Just as nobody called Jesus, “Jesus,” (see “Jesus or Yehoshua: What’s In a Name?” post of April 5, 2010), Jesus did not call the Apostles, “Simon” or “John.” Rather, he referred to them by their Hebrew or Aramaic names, as follows:

Simon was Shimon. James was Yakov (that is, Jacob). John was Yochanan. Bartholomew was Bar-Talmai (son of Ptolemy). Matthew was Mattityahu, meaning, “gift from God.” Thomas was Tau’ma, an Aramaic name. Thaddaeus was a variant of Theudas, which was a Grecian version of Judas or Yehuda.

Andrew and Philip are interesting because those are clearly Greek names—Andreas and Filippos; there are no Hebrew equivalents. Thus, we may surmise that Andrew and Philip were either Grecian-Jews or Grecian-Gentiles. In all probability, we may discount the theory that they were Gentiles: Jesus was a Jew who saw his mission as teaching and healing his fellow Jews. “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Matthew 15:24. It would be hard to imagine preaching to Jews while having Gentile Apostles.

Judas Iscariot was Yehuda. I will discuss Judas in the next post, along with the “sons of thunder” appellation for John and James.

Your reading a translation, not the orginal bible, that means the names are also translated.

Haven't studied this.

Quote:2. Do you believe jonah really was able to live in a fish and survive?

Who said he was alive those three days, it is a Christ example of being in the grave for three days.

Quote:3. Is the entire bible the truth?

Yes

Quote:4. If the entire bible is the truth, how do we not accept slavery anymore? How do we say homosexuality is ok?

Who said slavery was ever right even then? Because you've chosen to ignore God and do things your way, which by the way doesn't make homosexuality right, God is our judge not you.

Quote:5. Was the flood through out the entire earth? If so, do we have fossil evidence of a massive killing of everything?

Do you really think a flood of that proportion would leave evidence, the destruction of that magnitude would destroy most if not all evidence. Some believe that because fossils are found in some areas and then not others shows a flood was responsible for putting so many animals in some places and not scattered everywhere, flood tend to do this, even small ones.

RE: More Questions for Christians
By the way, fossils of sea critters are found on mountains and whale bones are discovered in a dessert.
How did they get there? And why do you not know about it?

Ever heard of tectonic movement? Ever heard of pangaia?

Your nick is seriously misleading.

RE: More Questions for Christians
Wow, prof. Just wow. You do understand how plate tectonics work and how that relates with the age of the fossils to determine when mountains were formed, right? You do know the planet has been changing since the beginning of its existence, right? That piece of 'remarkable evidence' is so unremarkable that the only results for googling them are literally all creationist shill sites. There's nothing in your post that is even remotely relevant to your implication, let alone controversial.
