CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

since the Pentateuch claims to be telling about things long before it was writin you must take that into consideration.JGMEERT said:

Brotha - - greetings - - I am new to the Forum and this is the first thread I have checked. I appreciate your original question and wonder what caused you to ask it? Are you speaking from the perspective of 'what was it like' as in the physical sensations (amount of sunlight, color of the sky, taste of bananas), or more along the lines of 'what were people like? Just curious.

JM: Indeed I do take that into account. All the more reason that we should view it as a description of WHO created and not HOW!Brotha Ballew said:

Just before the Flood, the earth was:
- one tropical climate
- one unified continent
- inhabited by angels and their hybrid offspring
- extremely corrupt; both morally and physically
- watered by ground mist -- (it didn't rain)
- people lived much longer than they do now

Not with the way you grade.
I'll get me a teacher who understands the material.

Defining a word and using it correctly in a sentence are two different things.
I asked him to define it, not use it correctly in a sentence.
(I have a feeling he knows I'm setting him up --

For sure they're different. You clearly understand how it is used though and so providing a definition would be utterly pointless.

1. Jesus interpreted the Scriptures literally.
2. An allegorical interpretation allows for as many interpretations as there are people in the world.
3. A literal interpretation forces even those hostile to a passage to admit what it is saying.
4. A literal interpretation allows a third party to settle a dispute between interpretations.
5. A literal interpretation allows for Occam's Razor to take effect.
