No, i am just teaching that God said it right, that we should believe God over what all humans on the entire earth say and think.
DiscipleDave,
what did God create? The physical universe, right? What do scientists study? The physical universe.
Thus, what scientists study is just as much "God said" as scripture. Because the physical universe is from God.
i see, so you choose to believe the DATA ( what humans say ) over the SCRIPTURES ( what God says ).
No. I believe what God says in His Creation over a human interpretation of scriptures. I worship God. You appear to worship a book.
the evidence is contrary to Scriptures something has got to be wrong,
See the first quote in my signature. Yes, something is wrong: our interpretation of scripture.
BTW, ask yourself why you capitalize "Scripture" like we capitalize "God". Another piece of evidence you have turned an interpretation of scripture into your god. Not a good idea.
So now we also see you do not believe Scriptures concerning the Flood. Scriptures say the flood happened, you don't believe, scientist says the flood never happened, this you believe.
A
world-wide Flood never happened. There is considerable evidence that at least one very severe local flood happened in the Tigris-Euphrates Valley. That was their "entire world".
What part of Scriptures do you believe ?
The parts not contradicted by God in His Creation.
Do you believe Jesus Christ was the Son of the living God?
Yes.
Whether or not this is True or not, i know not, but i know the flood took place because it is written that it did take place.
This is more evidence you are worshipping a book, not God. You are concerned with contradictions to a
book. I'm concerned about God.
Tell me, if the World was flooded,and then the water receded, would the heiroglyphs still be present?
Not with a Flood violent enough to lay down all sedimentary rock. Egypt lies atop sedimentary rock that was supposedly deposited by the Flood. There are fossils of dinosaurs in the rock that were supposedly drowned in the Food. That means that the
original surface of the ground was far below where we find the heiroglyphs! That's where we should have found the heiroglyphs, not on the present-day surface.
What is funny is that every major culture in the World has a flood story, yet it never happened.
No, they don't. Someone has told you a false witness, and you are repeating it. That makes it your false witness, too. Not a good idea.
Richard Andre did a comprehensive collection of myths about the floods. It was Die Flutsagen: Ehnthographisch Btrachtet, 1891. Andre had nearly 90 deluge traditions. Of these, 26 arose from the Babylonian story and 43 were independent. He noted a lack of deluge traditions in Arabia, Japan, northern and central Asia, Africa, and much of Europe. He concluded that not everyone had descended from survivors of a single deluge, otherwise the traditions would all have been much more identical and there would be deluge traditions in every society instead of a minority.
lol
The flood stories you got, including Noah's Flood, are derived from the Sumerian/Babylonian story.
It is no wonder you don't believe the flood, for if scientist say anything that is contrary to Scriptures, this you believe and not Scriptures, why is that?
Because science studies God's Creation. What they find is just as much God talking as scripture. Truth cannot contradict truth. If what God tells us in His Creation contradicts what man says scriptures say, we can be sure we aren't interpretation scripture properly.
i see, it does not surprise me at all, that you think mere men wrote the Bible, and not that they were inspired of God to write what they did write.
Inspired is different from dictated. See Mark 10 and Matthew 19.
Jesus tells us that mere men wrote the Bible, and
they got it wrong occasionally. I thought you listened to Jesus. Guess not. You just invoke his name in vain, I guess.
You say Creation is more God's book than Scriptures, and what doctrine is this, yours ?
Nope, Christians'. It follows from what scripture does teach. Again,
who created? What did God create?
Scriptures teach the Earth was created in 6 days,
Not all scripture. Genesis 2:4 teaches, when read literally, that the earth was created in
one day.
scientists say the Earth is billions of years old, you choose to believe them over what Scriptures teach,
You keep saying "scientists". Like you don't believe God really created. I choose to believe God. You choose to believe some men's interpretation of some scripture.
you teach appearence of God's creation is more God's book than Scriptures. You are witness of yourself, that you believe those things that you see in nature and of the EArth, more then you believe the things of God.
What we see in nature and earth
are "the things of God". What else are they? Only God created, didn't He?
"the great book ... of created things. Look above you; look below you; read it, note it." St. Augustine, Sermon 126 in Corpus Christianorum
"Man learns from two books: the universe for the human study of things created by God; and the Bible, for the study of God's superior will and truth. One belongs to reason, the other to faith. Between them there is no clash." Pope Pius Xii, Address to the Pontifical Academy of Science, Dec. 3, 1939.
"To conclude, therefore, let no man out of a weak conceit of sobriety, or an ill-applied moderation, think or maintain, that a man can search too far or be too well studied in the book of God's word, or in the book of God's works; divinity or philosophy [science]; but rather let men endeavour an endless progress or proficience in both." Bacon: Advancement of Learning
Bacon would be surprised at the fanaticism today, where people maintain, as you do, that we should not listen to God's works.
But then, I don't think Bacon ever thought people would turn the Bible into a graven image.
