This comment wasn't explained in that article, do you know why the author said this:I think you are being deliberately obtuse.
Read what Jesus said-not some brief summary.

My opinion of fairy tales ? Where have I mentioned fairy tales ?Nope. None of them for me thanks....
Unlike your opinion of fairy tales, I have a living God I can ask questions to.
I do not accept this premise.I recognise the truth
No, actually, I do not need to do anything to counter your admittedly unevidenced assumptions. You have done yourself in.and I know when what you say does not match it. You said you see no delineation between Genesis and Acts. That does not match the truth. Different authors, written many generations apart, one observably able to have access to the information being stated, the other we have no idea how they got their information. Therefore, you were wrong and what you are seeing is demonstrably not reliable.
I am entertaining the assumption that the story states literal fact, that Adam and Eve were once in a paradise garden, then were banished from it, and then other stuff happened and we arrived at Moses in the Exodus. End of that story. If that is how it happened, then it is possible this information was passed through word-of-mouth or written communications, since there is no time during this process where there is not a person alive to carry the information. But, as I have no evidence of this, I am not able to discount the possibility that it didn't happen this way. As for how most of mainstream science is wrong, you will need to explain why you think mainstream science contradicts this version of events, and in a way that does not put the fault at an assumption of a starting point of zero (you already excluded that possibility earlier).
I can only work with what you have presented here.This, your trusting of what you see, is a recurring problem for you, and I don't think it is right to blame others for that.
I don't know. I've never bothered to ask. Interesting point tho. I would have to assume it possible having no other evidence to the contrary.Can you ask for a unified theory of gravity? Or are you limited to the type of answers that might only be generated by your imagination?
I cannot use unbibical means to explain biblical truths. I only affirm what I know to be true of the word of God, or refute it based on the word. I do not accept the book of Mormon as true, so I could not verify anything from it.My opinion of fairy tales ? Where have I mentioned fairy tales ?
You didn't totally address my post.
If we have three different people saying, "God showed me _________" and their assertions were that the Book of Mormon, or Enoch, or using an NIV, or praying to a saint in the Orthodox tradition, etc, were all backed up because God showed them personally through signs/miracles/etc, what then ? They are all using books, claiming they are God's words, and combining them with what they believe to be God confirming things for them. So what then ?
Honestly then, what do you see as logic?It stings the temples doesn't it?
Well, get on it. While you are at it, let's get a cure for cancer and the common cold. If you come back with nothing, we'll have that evidence.I don't know. I've never bothered to ask. Interesting point tho. I would have to assume it possible having no other evidence to the contrary.
It is beyond God's capability to open an account on an internet discussion board?I cannot use unbibical means to explain biblical truths. I only affirm what I know to be true of the word of God, or refute it based on the word. I do not accept the book of Mormon as true, so I could not verify anything from it.
As I have said before, a book cant tell you anything without the means of interpretation. I rely on my God for answers that I read from a book. Not the book in of it's self. There is a misunderstanding here that I rely on outside means to support my belief. When in actuality I rely on my God to show me what is to be believed. I try diligently to not hold to my own belief system unless it can be confirmed by God.
Also, as previously stated, it is not my responsibility to prove God. That is God's responsibility.
I would expect so. How am I to know that you have any such understanding, your claims to date notwithstanding?Honestly then, what do you see as logic?
Can you answer the question I asked you before? Please.
How do you expect it to be logical to test something you do not even have a basic understanding of? You have to have some form of understanding of its constructs before you test it, right?
I'm pretty sure we don't have those because of humans wanting to cull the heard.Well, get on it. While you are at it, let's get a cure for cancer and the common cold. If you come back with nothing, we'll have that evidence.
Why? He is already readily available.It is beyond God's capability to open an account on an internet discussion board?
You just want me to shut up and go away don't you? And take my God nonsense with me. Not happening.I would expect so. How am I to know that you have any such understanding, your claims to date notwithstanding?
To the bold. Why ? Why do you try diligently to not hold to your own belief system unless it can be confirmed by God ?I cannot use unbibical means to explain biblical truths. I only affirm what I know to be true of the word of God, or refute it based on the word. I do not accept the book of Mormon as true, so I could not verify anything from it.
