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.

Jonah isn't speaking about a big fish or a whale, Jonah is speaking about a fucking leviathon, a monster of of the deep. Think swimming dragon. Scylla or Charybdis, etc.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

What part of my post did you have trouble with GC?
I see you playing a numbers game to salvage a fairy tale, I've seen you play the same numbers game using different figures. I want to know if it's the numbers or the narrative you're actually deferring to. Are you interested in whether or not the narrative has any real plausibility, or just interested in shoehorning numbers into a narrative to create an illusion of credibility (plugging in whichever numbers you need to depending on the narrative you're attempting to defend). You had opinions about the sermon on the mount, which is all that they can be with no facts attached. I also have opinions of the same, I shared them. Did you have trouble understanding my post, or did you have nothing to respond with but felt the need to respond anyway?

And I guess you have punted on trying to date your so-called exodus? No surprise there. That's a hard one for jesus freaks to face.  RE: How Can Christians Still Believe??

You guys really should get some brains. Amen brother Child. The world is clearly a flat circle with the sky being a dome stretched over top of us, just like a tent. Isaiah 40:22, the verse of the Holey Babble I quoted earlier, is clear evidence that the world is flat, contrary to the assertions of those lying demonic scientists!

Quote:But those theories directly contradict the Bible.Only if you think that the Bible is a scientific book. I also accept those theories and I can't see problem between science and my faith. Quote:If these Christians are going to say the Bible is completely wrong as far Genesis is concerned and stories like those of Adam and Eve and Noah's Ark are untrue why would you not start to question and wonder if maybe everything else in the Bible is completely made up including the 4 Gospels?Genesis is not wrong. It's just not a scientific book. The purpose of that book is not to show how the world was created, but why, while the details of the story are not too important. It states that everythin that exists is created by God, what is an ontological claim. And, even if the Bible Bible contradicts to scientific facts, it's not a problem for me(for example, when it is said that bats are birds). I believe that the Bible is divine and human book at the same time. A human factor can not be disregarded when we speak about the development of the scriptures. So, it's not a perfect book. Quote:So, it's not a perfect book. The xtians are going to hate your ass..... but I'll give you a point for that one. RE: How Can Christians Still Believe??
