  • 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.

That isn't from erosion, that is from the locals removing the outer layer to use in construction elsewhere.
Bingo! You beat me to that punch line. I wonder what he would say about the Colosseum in Rome which was used for centuries as an easy quarry for building stone.

I think you could be right, well spotted about about the erosion at the top of the pyramid.

So I've read, the Nephilim were the giants from the mating of the fallen angels with human women. The fallen angels taught mankind all kinds of things from cosmology to anatomy. IMO this is how these mythological creatures came about by them splicing the DNA between man & beast & this was the reason why God flooded the earth.

And one more assumption, how could God flood a supposed ball earth ?

Oh I don't know, I reckon the early church fathers knew a lot more than we gave them credit for, take this for instance;

No doubt. But they didn't know about DNA, heart transplants or the other things that I mentioned.
They didn't know about those things even 100 years ago, never mind 5 or 6 thousand.

Didn't they, what about what the fallen angels taught them, what about the giants & how did they know how to splice the DNA between man & beast ? How did they know about cosmology, the sun, moon and the stars and how they rotate above us ?
How did they know how to build precisely with so much precision ?

What about God saying there is nothing new under the sun & in the end days it shall be as the days of Noah ?

God did not say that. The author of the book said that, allegedly the king Solomon.

& in the end days it shall be as the days of Noah ?
And it was. Only Christians fled the Jerusalem as Jesus warned, the rest were destroyed. 66-70 AD.

Ecclesiastes 1:8

8All things are wearisome, more than one can describe; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear content with hearing. 9What has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. 10Is there a case where one can say, “Look, this is new”? It has already existed in the ages before us.

And it was. Only Christians fled the Jerusalem as Jesus warned, the rest were destroyed. 66-70 AD.

Matthew 24:36

36No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark.

Didn't they,
No, they didn't. The technology didn't exist.
If they had known about things like that, they would have used it.
If there had been cars, planes, phones etc, they could have taken the Gospel over the whole world.
How did they know about cosmology, the sun, moon and the stars and how they rotate above us ?
They knew a certain amount but nothing like as much as we know today.
There have been many discoveries and inventions over the years - you're writing on one of them.
What about God saying there is nothing new under the sun & in the end days it shall be as the days of Noah ?
What about you reading the Bible properly and not taking random verses out of context?

The very high Antarctica iced walls that circumference the earth.

What very high Antarctica iced walls that circumference the earth? I suppose you think that all those who have explored Antarctica are liars, people like Scott, Amundsen and Edmund Hilary and Vivian Fuchs. They have never mentioned a very high wall of ice surrounding Antarctica. The bible doesn't even mention Antarctica, so I am not sure what the verse you quoted has to do with it. Here it is in context:

“7 When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy? 8 "Or [who] shut in the sea with doors, When it burst forth [and] issued from the womb; 9 When I made the clouds its garment, And thick darkness its swaddling band;” (Job 38:7-9 NKJV)

Even if that meant that God shut the sea up with literal doors, doors are not walls, and anyway, there is no mention of Antarctica, just the sea. Is the sea that forms the Bristol Channel limited by literal doors, or high walls? No, of course not. So why should Antarctica have a high wall of ice around it?

I missed this back in August. Please explain how Paul's quote proves anything about a contracted form of something not identified.

Please prove that what you claim to be a contracted form is actually what you claim it to be and not rather blasphemy or sacrilege. Prove by the scriptures that those who penned the scriptures would indeed contract or shorten the Tetragrammaton name of the Most High in their writings.

But of course that would take this thread off topic and I know it isn't going to happen anyway.
Have a great day. :)

Yes. These are the verses we are talking about.

But I do mind when you quote the word of God apparently to support your notion of a high iced wall around Antarctica, and when you imply that other people (in this case, the explorers who have actually visited Antarctica) are liars.

Why didn't Fuchs, Shackleton, Scott and the rest see this wall, as you claim this Byrd did? Am I correct in assuming that you count all them as liars, either because you believe they have never been to Antarctica, or because you believe they told lies, and that they dis actually encounter this iced wall? Either way, the bible says nothing about Antarctica, or an ice wall surrounding it.

This is where you are wrong, I've showed you the verse.
