He has to say that or his head would be on the chopping block.
Oh of course, on the one hand you claim he went over the “ice wall” and on the other you claim he tells lies because otherwise his head would be on the chopping block!

His interview is completely opposed to your narrative. Not only does he acknowledge Antarctica exists, he calls it a continent, says there is a South Pole, talks about the bottom of the world as a place where people can go, and obviously means the “ice wall” is the coast of the Antarctic continent.

But for some inexplicable and irrational reason you use this same video to claim that Antarctica doesn’t exist and an ice wall surrounds the earth! This proves beyond doubt that you are either delusional or are deliberately trolling.

I explained in detail why I believe it is metaphorical and you refuse to discuss the topic.
As I recall I responded to your defence of your doctrine, which requires you to gainsay the actual words of our Lord, by comparing the reactions of our Lord's erstwhile followers who found His words too hard to stomach. Nothing much has changed since then, has it?
The thing that's most amusing to me there is the insistence of your lot that a completely symbolic/poetic description ot the creation of the universe must be take literally, despite an abundance of empirical evidence to the contrary, while the words from the lips of the Creator of the Universe Himself, are waved off as a simple metaphor. A "metaphor" that our Lord made no effort to "explain" to anyone, even when it caused many of His folowers to leave Him.

So suffice it to say that I find your "explanation" of your curious beliefs considerably less than satisfactory. YOur eargerness to toss out the cornflakes and eat the box is something I'll never uinderstand, not that I'lll try very hard.


Is Jesus literally speaking of water here? Does He give us water that makes us never thirsty?
I'll bite, tell us what He really means.
What is God’s position on drinking blood?
That one's easy. Here's what God Himself says on the subject:
25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood;

The whole reason Jesus used this particular example was to separate the chaff from the wheat.
That’s why the more they grumbled about it the more He pushed the idea and the result was that the unbelievers went away.
THose folks sounded a lot like your folks, didn't they?
Now the big question is, are you going to actually answer these questions or are you just going to pretend they don’t exist because you can’t answer them without contradicting your theology?
I answered with the words of our Lord Christ. My doctrine takes them literally. Your doctrine has to resort to the old reliable "Oh, what that really meant..." canard.

I'm with Martin Luther "I would rather have pure blood with the Pope, than drink mere wine with the fanatics.
And you have the temerity to accuse me of not believing the Bible while you boast about not believing our Lord Christ?

Maybe you'll want to rail against out Lord for not keeping the sabbath ,as well.

I never mentioned that aspect of John 6 in my previous post.

You so conveniently omitted the question regarding whether you still get thirsty or hungry. If Jesus was speaking literally then Christians wouldn’t need to eat or drink anymore would they?

Yeah but Admiral Richard E Byrd went on and beyond the ice walls & found unexplored land bigger than the United States.


Listen carefully to where he actually goes.
Size. The Antarctic continent is a land mass covered with ice up to 13,000ft (4km) thick. With all islands and ice shelves, Antarctica is nearly 1½ times the size of the USA, twice the size of Australia, and 58 times the size of the UK. It covers 8,500,000 square miles (13,661,000 square kilometers).

All one has to do is find the distances between the tips of South America, Australia and Africa. If the Earth were flat those distances would be a great deal larger than they actually are.

Because it has nothing whatsoever to do with the Eucharist. It's simly you playing at, "hey, look over there!" No worky,

John 6 is known as the bread of life discourse. Your just running away from the discussion as usual because you don’t want to admit that it’s a metaphor.
