as it was,so shall it be/choking on a gnat ?

[sfs]

Could you rephrase the OP in understandable English?

Restated: Christians believe that God will raise the dead, thereby creating many bodies out of whole cloth, as it were. Therefore it is stupid that some Christians find it implausible that God should have created Adam the same way.

Obviously, this doesn't address the real reason that many (most) Christians accept evolution, which is that all the evidence points that way. But that's the argument.

You don't know the difference between asking someone to pray for you and praying to someone? I wouldn't think that difference was that hard to figure out.

There is a major difference between asking a real live person to pray for you, and asking an invisible entity to pray for you. IOW - asking an invisible entity to do anything, is more along the lines of praying. Asking your neighbor to pray for you, is not praying.

I hope that made some sense.

Dear twinc, You have the basis for your opinon backwards. Here is what the verse actually says:

Matthew 23:24
Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.

Straining at a gnat is not the same as choking on it. Is it?

In Love,
Aman

even if, so what - okay so most Christians strain out a gnat called Adam and swallow a camel - as long as you get the message hopefully - twinc

Dear twinc, Evols are the ones who strain at Adam, since he shows that the ToE is a Lie. Evolism teaches that we evolved from a common ancestor, but God tells us that Adam was made LONG before any other living creature. This means that Humans could NOT have evolved from a common ancestor of Apes.

Why do you suppose Evols force their "beliefs" on our children in Public Schools? Could it be because they are doing the wishes of the father, satan? You would have to be able to swallow a Camel IF you can swallow the Lies of Evolutionism. Right?

In Love,
Aman

You're right. You caught us. It's all because we worship our father, Satan. It's all a big scientist satan worshipping conspiracy. Good job.

 

[AV1611VET]

F.Y.I. Catholics ask Mary to pray for them. They do not technically pray to Mary.

Um ... read what you just wrote -- slowly.

The question itself is a prayer.

Dear kellhus, That's what Jesus said:

Jhn 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

In Love,
Aman

Your choking on that gnat...big time!!!

You first, AV.

 

[TLK Valentine]

The question itself is a prayer.

No, because Mary is not a Goddess.

 

[Split Rock]

Um ... read what you just wrote -- slowly.

The question itself is a prayer.

So if you ask me to do something for you, you are praying to me?

 

[AV1611VET]

No, because Mary is not a Goddess.

So Catholics don't pray to saints, either?

 

[AV1611VET]

So if you ask me to do something for you, you are praying to me?

Are you dead?

Did Jesus' disciples pray to Him while He walked among them?

I'd say that this is a good moment to think of the question that the great creationist thinker Ken Ham likes to use...


... "WHERE YOU THERE?"

 

[kellhus]

So if you ask me to do something for you, you are praying to me?

Actually, technically yes. Per an archaic definition of pray. In modern usage, pray has come to be strictly a divine reference, but technically I could pray to you to post a funny gif and it would be proper English.

Yeah, thank goodness you're wise and perceptive enough to notice all us horrible scientists are big nasty worshippers of the great beast, Satan.

Dear Freodin, Yes I was. I was in Adam. Were you in an Ape?

In Love,
Aman

 

[TLK Valentine]

Dear Freodin, Yes I was. I was in Adam.

That can be taken quite a few ways that you probably don't want it do.

Were you in an Ape?

We are apes.

 

[dlamberth]

I was in Adam. Were you in an Ape?

In Love,
Aman

I think your half way there. It's our Souls that are of Adam. Our bodies though are of the line we call Ape. That's true for all human being.
