GC. The "Jewish Calendar" exists only in your head I am afraid. There was no proper measurement of time by the people there during the times of the early Old Testament. You can look that one up if you like. When you have bothered to look that up, you will understand why I said seasons were sometimes inadvertently counted as years. Nobody really live until they were in their 800's! When there is no calendar or measurement, lots of mistakes are easily made.
Have you looked up the old language thingy yet? Thought not.
How is saying that God could create the universe in any time-frame he wanted, limiting God in any way? If you can't see a failure in logic there then you are lost.
It is quite clear you do not understand literary tools, such as metaphor, if you insist they are all clearly labelled in the Bible.
Your god is the only god... Breathtaking arrogance! Essentially saying that YOU are right and so infallible. Are you Jesus? No. You are a human; a fallible human. Arrogance has no place in a Christian. You have chosen to interpret the Bible in a way that defies logic and observation. You have chosen to pigeon-hole God into some badly translated words, handed down orally for generations before being scribed in Greek, Hebrew, Latin and variously translated between them all until being collated by a fallible committee some few thousands of years later. God, if you truly believe in his limitless power, is not bound by the writings of one person. You seem annoyed by me insisting upon the relevance of observation. That is because what I see IS God's work. If you turn your back on what is obvious and insist on believing in an illogical interpretation of the Bible, you are turning your back on His work. Just because dinosaurs aren't in the Bible, would you deny that God could have brought about their creation and demise? Isn't that limiting God? How can you close your eyes to the beauty and intricacies of his work by insisting that only a subjective collection of sometimes inaccurate writings is true? God is not who you want him to be. God is who God is and your insistence that he is who YOU say he is limits his power and (judging by your spectacular lack of logic and study) his intelligence. You have essentially resorted to an "if I shout louder and angrier than you, then I am right!" posture.
Yes, I did say that there is more than one way to come to the Father from the ideal of the Hindu perspective. I didn't say we should follow other religions. I was saying it from the perspective of one Christian not saying another was not a Christian! I wouldn't say you aren't a Christian, even though I think your over-literal interpretation is completely bonkers. I just wish for a similar courtesy to be extended, accepting that we all seek the same thing with pure hearts but we interpret the same messages in slightly different ways.
I don't think God loves you any less for being bonkers, although careful with the arrogance and anger. God isn't keen on either of those.
