    What does it mean for the Christian to stumble?

    Backslidden or lost?

    What a touching testimony about one's calling in GOD, you're not lost nor backslidden, just a sheep seeking comfort...Our staff member response was great... they are called propensities ---genes that trip us up, wired into our carnal nature....which become habits we have to overcome through...

    [_ Old Earth _] Time does not exist, and this impacts evolution

    Greetings Barbarian, Why do you think that couldn't also be a parable? Are you saying the whole of the Genesis story including the Ceasing Day (Shabbat) mentioned at the end is just a parable? Where do you get that idea? I know you want to believe that, but it isn't so. This list defines...

    [_ Old Earth _] Time does not exist, and this impacts evolution

    Greetings Barbarian Your reply is interesting and scholarly put. I respect that. "So the evidence shows. You think God could have only done it, if He did it in a few days? You would be familiar with relativity and frames of reference...so why couldn't GOD have created the universe in 6...

    [_ Old Earth _] Time does not exist, and this impacts evolution

    Greetings Barbarian Creationists think God is not powerful enough to create a universe that grows and changes according to His will. How sad for them. Sure I believe God's created material that moved and rushed according to natural laws He created, but your implying it took millions of...

    [_ Old Earth _] Time does not exist, and this impacts evolution

    [_ Old Earth _] Time does not exist, and this impacts evolution

    Greetings Turnorburn, i think the problem lies in the fact that no man can tell us what happened to creation after sin entered the picture. A new born baby looks fresh and new but over time shrivels like a ripe prune. The same can be said of creation, Gods word gives a timeline for the age of...

    [_ Old Earth _] Time does not exist, and this impacts evolution

    Greetings Jim "I believe that God indeed created the universe by His command. There is no reason that he could not have done it 13.7 billion years ago. And by saying that the universe is billions of years old I mean that the universe is billions of years old." Have you not watched Gerald...

    [_ Old Earth _] Time does not exist, and this impacts evolution

    Greetings Jim ,True. Slightly different topic but true. You agreed with Turnorburn that God created the universe in an instant, by the breath of His word.... so how can the universe be billions of years old, whatever you mean by that.... Also you will have to explain to me the difference...

    Bible Study Gender of the Holy Spirit : female personality

    Really good points everyone, and nice discussion... Reba wrote an interesting point "whole of Scripture is written patreartical" And so in a group, the masculine always overrides the power flow, and hence why the Holy Spirit is addresses in masculine terms...but this this does not prove the...

    [_ Old Earth _] Time does not exist, and this impacts evolution

    Greetings Jim . . You have chosen the introductory genealogy of scripture and called it "science." Are you saying Creation Science found in Genesis is not Science? Please explain your viewpoint. It is a standard convention in ancient middle eastern literature to introduce a story with a...

    Bible Study Gender of the Holy Spirit : female personality

    Greetings Jim There is no such verse. Of course you know that. And God is not a man. If you don't know that you should.
