Let's try this again:

Take any plant, say a houseplant. Think about what is required for that plant to be able to grow.

Now, devise a scientific experiment to determine if supernatural forces are required for that growth.

Live anywhere off this earth....and you'll know for sure.

The bible story is the beginning of the "restitution of all things", things damaged long before GenOne. Here God fashions a new world for his new creation: man.
Well, no. The insinuation in the New Testament is that we are restored from sin. The fall of man. The fallen angels will not be restored, they have an everlasting place prepared for them.

It is never no. God answered your past and future prayers before the world was formed.
Your task is to get your request fixed and get with the program rather than fight it.

Many prayers are just a case of the "gimme's. James 4:3

The fall of man is just a human reinactment of the fall of the angels. The rebellion of Eve was a reenactment of the rebellion of Lucifer (cleverly done too I must say).

Please revisit post #655. I've added something interesting.

Because it's really just the word of men.
Let me ask you something

If scientists and medical experts changed their data and charts to say what they want them to say, who does it benefit?

And couldnt it even be dangerous to take the liberty to do this?

Everyone interprets the word of God differently, thats why there are so many denominations
One FOUNDATION remains. If one is standing on THAT FOUNDATION, they are fine

Everything else that is temporal will be removed

That would have real world consequences, and the results can be disastrous. If medical practitioners do that, expect to be sued and maybe even prison time

Some of us don't need to lean on that foundation, we're doing just fine without spiritual support...

Everyone is not really allowed to say "GOD said" if they are not led by HIS SOIRIT

Thats the thing, people say whatever they say, we live in a society that value the freedom of speech....who is doing the allowing or disallowing?

The same mentality

"It's really just the word of men"

Again, not entirely following you here.

My remark is just that to me, the Bible is just a book (or collection of books) written, re-written, translated over the ages by a bunch of men (and maybe some women), and eventually compiled and voted on by various committees to form the work it is today.

Personally, I wouldn't get overly hung up on the interpretation of it.
