I love your willingness to not give up. God will bless that and your efforts. I agree that the ball is in her court but that doesn't mean you should stand by waiting. You need to be on your knees in prayer asking God to step in and do what neither you or your wife can. Please don't get...

Your story is heartbreaking but sadly not uncommon. It would be nice have some simple words that could fix the problem however you know that isn’t the case. Your problems with your wife are deep and hit at the core of your marriage…trust and accountability. We need to be able to trust our...

The argument for Christianity also rests entirely on an obstinate definition for where salvation lies. Come to think of it, many of the precepts throughout the bible have a similar obstinacy for which a majority of people have no concept of.

OK, I'm no Hebrew scholar and can't tell you why the word 'yom' is apparently in some instances translated to mean forever or always. Someone who is far more learned that I could probably address that. I'm curious why the question; especially given this is an Origins forum? Clearly, all...

I looked up your first example (Deuteronomy 5:30) and in almost every translation it means "Go and tell them, return to your tents". There was no reference to "always" or "forever". I didn't check the remainder of your examples but if the first one doesn't support your thesis then its already...

Excellent...no I wasn't aware of this project. I can't wait to see it. Thanks!

I don't know if you're genuinely looking for an answer or just trying to solicit an argument. If it is the former please excuse my cynical statement. I'm not sure where your research has given you the definition of "always" but a simple search will reveal that the term essentially means a...

There is no such verse. God is outside of time and creation, He was never created.

Quite a leap to make. I certainly don't see the two as compatible in the least. The truth is never compatible with a lie. I checked other because I believe Satan is behind the debate.

Doing great...thanks for asking. Hope all is well with you too! Yes I read the discussion, that's why I commented on your post and gave an explanation for Isaiah 53 being written in the past tense. I just wanted to clear that up.

After a long hiatus I came back today to see what's been going on in an old hangout of mine. I see not much has changed. I did see this post of yours Assyrian and thought I might provide an explanation. Isaiah 53 is written in the past tense because this hasn't happened yet. The Jews, in...

I agree. :)

Is it a teaching that is of spiritual significance? God is capable of almost anything, excepting I know lying isn't one of them. I don't remember but you can ask gluadys yourself. Obviously we see this very differently.

Yet if what the Bible teaches doesn't line up with the man-made idea brought in to supplement the Bible... That is the same question I have, instead of creating, God as you see it, put things in motion in order for them to be created. There are a number of TEs who would disagree with you on...

Not an equal comparison. It's one thing to jettison a man-made unscriptural idea, it's quite another to do so with a Godly one. Of course truth is the ultimate destination and only scripture will bring us there.

I'm not seeing your logic, I will need a little help. To help you a bit let me rephrase my question. There have been countless scientific discoveries over the years. Has there ever been one that changed our spiritual understanding/meaning of a previously widely held doctrine?

Interesting response, not quite what I was expecting. Without addressing the validity of the findings, I'm curious as to what your view of scripture is. Do you believe it to be the Word of God?

Lineage back to Adam links each of us to original sin and the overwhelming need each of us has for His forgiveness. Common descent and millions of years diminishes the connection. Maybe but now He isn't quite as strong as He stated He was, in essence He lied. However there are many who don't as...

Lots of folks here are quick to say millions of years or something similar is the right answer but with very little support. Wouldn't you think that in order to challenge to the literal and plain meaning of the words, the onus of responsibility falls to those that find it to be wrong? To change...

How about the chronology of man, God not being omnipotent and needing something outside Himself and how does sin enter the world through a mythical being? Those are just a few that come off the top of my head.
