Not the same thing, is it.
I think it is similar.
And they did it, boy did they do it. Shame they were not told when to stop.
So we had the god of war, then peace, what's next? God of war again, of course!!
He needs to react to wicked man. His nature is not wicked like man's. He did tell them when to stop. Not that the wicked sons of guns listened all that much.
Too rough = infanticide?
Because he is a bully.
The heathen were the ones that sacrificed children, it was an abomination to God. Most battles did not involve kids, far as I can tell. The time that a very wicked group had to be dealt with, and even the kids had to be killed is an exception, and one that God had to have a good reason for.
"There is an easy explanation for this using the theory of evolution. There is not an easy explanation using notions of design -- or rather, all the explanations end up saying that the designer happened to choose, out of all the possible patterns, the one that also makes it look like evolution happened. "
Taken from your source.
Well, yes, there is, when we consider the differences in the universe of the past.
Similarities are to be expected in a created world, but we don't genereally see similarities. We see homologies, and that is evidence for evolution by natural selection.
"
In
biology, homology refers to the general and quite ancient observation of
similarity of form seen in the biological world of
animals or plants.
[1] It is the name given to the anatomical correspondences between different species that biologists and paleontologists have noted and studied for centuries.
More specifically, in
evolutionary biology,
homology has come to mean any
similarity between
characters that is due to their
shared ancestry. There are examples in different branches of biology. Anatomical structures that perform the same function in different biological species and evolved from the same structure in some ancestor species are homologous." wiki
So, what determines some similarity must be from a shared ancestor. precisely? You do not really know. Your claim is moot.
Yet all the evidence suggests that there was significantly less oxygen in the past, pre-cambrian period.
Well, that puts you to creation week. You don't really know much about the air there do you? Get serious. If some creation era rock, or something suggests less air, we need to ask for how long that may have been!!??? A day? An hour?? Etc.
The bible is not evidence, it is a book of faith.
It is not science evidence, because science is too limited, and small to matter much at all. It is evidence, of course. The hundreds of fulfilled prophesies, and witnessed miracles testify to that, and we have the record. No getting around it.
OK, 'young woman' being mistranslated as 'virgin'
You are dreaming, that is a lame argument, that can't stand the light of day. If you went to some young women of the day, and suggested she wasn't a virgin, the father would punch out your lights, or worse.
and Judas being portrayed as evil because he 'betrayed' Jesus as opposed to 'handing over' which is a more literal translation.
He had to kiss Him, to identify Him. He also was possessed of the devil, Satan. Judas was not the good guy there at all. Andrew Loyd Webber ought to hang his head in shame.
You may use that term, but it applies more when turned at yourself.
No, because man wrote the bible.
No. That you can't prove. That is a statement based on blindness to things of God, and assuming all there was at work was man. Nonsense.
No, we are the evidence of evolution. The bible is evidence of our evolution; we were once a superstitious people who needed to invent gods to fill the gaps in our knowledge.
Really.
Try to give evolution the glory all you like. It is merely a statement of faith. Faith in the devolved imaginings of the depraved mind of man.
Big bang fits the observations, therefore there is very little reason to doubt it.
False! It no more fits observations, than I could stuff twenty suns in a spark from a fire. The only mental machinations of man's mind it fit's, are faith based dreams of a same state past magic show that no one was here to see, and never happened.
It doesn't answer everything, so there is a good chance there is something else at work. Whether or not string theory fits the bill, only time will tell.
No, time will not tell. I am tired of being strung along.
And as for Obama, I have very little opinion because I don't know the guy. Tells fewer lies than Hillary, so he can't be all that bad.
I don't either, I simply distrust people that wear nominal religion as a show, and who are gung ho for killing babies.
"Sometimes objects around her would fly off the shelves, the rare phenomenon of psychokinesis known to parapsychologists,"
from your source.
Parapsychology might know supernatural phenomena, real science doesn't. Simple reason - no real scientise has ever seen it.
Funny how superstitious mumbo-jumbo attracts suprstitious people.....
So you claim that the men did not see what was written, and you do so because you feel like it. Fine.
There is no doubt in my mind that many of Jesus' teachings were good, honest and set a good example for people to follow. But they are a long way short of a god of peace and justice.
Guess His dying for man wasn't good enough for you.
No ideas of a democracy, which although not good is a hundred fold better than biblical ruling and occupation.
Says you. You prefer being ruled by the wicked, I don't.
Equality regardless of sex would have been nice as well.
They were equal, don't be fooled just because they were not allowed to kill their kids, or sleep around as they wished.
Abolishion of slavery, no he didn't go for that either.
Instead he introduces eternal hellfire and damnation, complete with wailing and gnashing of teeth.
He saw the end of the road for the choices of man. He did more than anyone ever did to try to help us be able to make the right choices.
Some peace that is, sounds like a bully all over again. But with fewer teeth.
The mob released a terrorist, rather than Him. He was also beaten, and marred more than any man. They smote and spit on Him, and you call Him the bully. He came down here to this humble state, and stinking PO body for the purpose of saving men. He put up with those bullies so that He could save as many as possible from hell.
