Debate implies a difference of opnion..
Couldn't this forum rather be construde as a place where believers can come together for mutual edification in the Holy Spirit instead?
But, he ws implying no such thing.. At least, not to my understanding..
In that case it would be relevant to rebuke error.
to the OP, yes, man's understanding is quite limited.
We have nothing, Jesus becomes our everything, praise God
This has a few underlying assumptions that are incorrect. First off, edification can come from debate. Debate is how we learn about others and about ourselves. Debate is how we learn what has been believed and what is believed. Furthermore, if you observe anything on this forum, it is a debate forum. By the very nature of the fact that we can post our opinions and our opinions are likely different, this is a debate forum. Also, if debate implies a difference of opinion, that is ok, from my reading of what he/she was saying we do have a difference of opinion. That's perfectly fine, again, like I said above, differences of opinion and debate are how we learn.
The linguistic misunderstanding to which I refer is it seemed that he/she was interpreting the movement over the water as walking which is something that would be very understandable when reading the account in English. I was not trying to degrade his/her ability to interpret the Bible, nor even the basic claims that he/she was making. I was only trying to add my linguistic knowledge so that he/she could include that information in his/her study of the Bible.
Anytime. I do hope that I helped. Listen, if at any time it seemed like I was being mean to you that was not at all my intention. I really was just trying to help.

Rev 17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
If so could this also be some of the waters in Gen.? It seems there are many waters? I kinda like the waters in Gen 1:2 to be those who are reading the Words of God. Jesus says that the Words he speaks to us are Spirit and they are life. These Words introduced us to the creation. Until I read these Words, darkness moved upon the face of me and the depths I have been given to possess. These Words tread upon my high places. Moreover, the whore is no longer there. I think this way — I was part of the waters below and now, because of Christ Jesus, I am risen and part of the waters above. I am open to be reproved.
Ge 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Ge 1:6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
Ge 1:7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
Ge 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
Ge 1:10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
Ge 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
Now that is what I like to see. Great job you all.
