Surely your kidding, it's right under your nose if you'll look.

Again!! How can there be an eternity with no time? An eternity of what exactly?
Eternity by defintion is timeless, the enternity of life.

This link Has a rather lengthy put thourough exploration of Jesus from Genesis through Revelation if you're interested. There has been time, to my knowledge since the begning of the universe, what came before that, and after it's entropy is the eternity he's reffering to (I believe, not meaning to speak for any1), which would indeed have no reference for time, IMO.
Thank you for clairifying that Tack. Also the son of the woman will crush the head of the serpent Gen.3:15.

Christ said, that if we did not have the heart and mind of a child we would not enter into His kingdom, we are following christian instruction by the only true source of life.

Christ said this, the bible says that. Ever thought for yourself for once instead of letting a bronze age book filled with bronze age beliefs to do the thinking for you?
Stop following a bronze age book and follow your head for once. If you can't do this now, I doubt you ever will.
If the bible said the only way to get into heaven was to jump off a bridge, would you? We both know you wouldn't, because your common sense and wisdom would tell you it would be a daft thing to do. You know there is no guarantee that the book is right.
You can keep to those bronze age beliefs, but I will not. I just hope that someday, you'll understand why.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Just as much a pile of dog shit as the first two chapters and all the rest which follows. You see G-C, before you assert your fucking bible as "evidence" you need to show that it is true. YOu never bother with that step and every time you fuck up I will remind you of it.

Just to expand on this, please bear in mind that Atheists do not believe in God, and thus, have no reason to give the Bible any more credibility as an accurate historical text than we do the collected works of Shakespeare. In order for us to be able to do so, you are going to have to back up your claims. If you don't, you'll look like you can't defend your faith. If you can't defend your faith, you're just wasting your time and Adrian's bandwidth.

The whole bible is one big contradiction after the other. My fav is the fact that 12 people followed a holyman around the desert and came up with 4 different stories that contradict each other.
It may seem that we are bashing the bible but other religions (some you see as pagan) made shore that their myths had little to no holes. As for the bible(ot) everytime something bad happened to the Jews they added and subtracted from it .believing they wasn't worshiping god right.
I do not think it is necessary to believe that the same God who has given us our senses, reason, and intelligence wished us to abandon their use, giving us by some other means the information that we could gain through them

I do not have to prove the scriptures correct to answer the question Min, you should read what was stated more carefully before making a statement about something you do not comprehend. Just to remind you the question or statement that was made is this, Jesus is not mentioned in the OT, so I went to one of the earliest accounts and posted it. Simple as that. Of course knowing you and you infalibility you will see it differently.

However, one of my tops is one of the first stories: Adam and Eve.
Genesis 1:11-12 and 1:26-27 Trees came before Adam.
Genesis 2:4-9 Trees came after Adam.
Genesis 1:20-21 and 26-27 Birds were created before Adam.
Genesis 2:7 and 2:19 Birds were created after Adam.
Genesis 1:24-27 Animals were created before Adam.
Genesis 2:7 and 2:19 Animals were created after Adam.
Genesis 1:26-27 Adam and Eve were created at the same time.
Genesis 2:7 and 2:21-22 Adam was created first, woman sometime later.
Anyone else thinking that the Bible might need an editior? Oh and if anyones interested this website has a whole heap of conradictions: http://www.thethinkingatheist.com/page/b...radictions
There's a reason you see a contradiction, it's all you look for. The first chapter of Genesis is the order in which creation took place, the second chapter is giving some details of the creation in no certain order.

Gs the truth is the bible contains several versions of the same story.

Yes you do.
Failing to do so makes you look like a superstitious twit.
