    Is the creation debate over?

    I wouldn't say it is a reflection of either but what is interesting is the first creation (Genesis 1:1, Genesis 2:4 through Genesis 4 : (1-26) has a constant theme through out it. It is the breath of life. The first creation is the breath of life creation. The second creation, the re-creation...

    Is the creation debate over?

    Genesis is not written chronologically anyways. Read Genesis 10:31 and then read Genesis 11:1. Things happened in Genesis 10:31 after Genesis 11. The same goes for the things in Genesis 2 and 3 happened before Genesis 1. Also, the Bible does not clearly show the earth was created 6000...

    Is the creation debate over?

    Again, It does not say that but regardless of your interpretation those at the time of its authorship did not think that way and would not have written it so that it would be interpreted or translated that way. People who study these things know that the people who lived in the time that the...

    Is the creation debate over?

    I see your point but would argue that Exodus 20:11 is speaking directly about the second creation and again made here is really remake. But also if you are arguing that then looking at Genesis 1:28, man is being told replenish the earth. Why would God tell him to replenish the earth if...

    Is the creation debate over?

    Nope. Not at all. If you really want to get into weeds about things, look at Revelation 9:11 and you see that Apollyon is a king over the scorpion men(Revelation 9:3). Apollyon is the Greek sun god Apollo. If you look in the Akkadian mythos you will find a sun god (Shamash) who just like Apollo...

    Is the creation debate over?

    Yes. I believe there are two Adams. One is fallen and the other is not. The fact of the matter is and that there is no doubt (scholars know this) that pieces of the Genesis creation story have been taken directly from the Akkadian Atra-Hasis. This is a academic fact. In the Atra-Hasis there are...

    Is the creation debate over?

    The Bible does not plainly say 6000 years anywhere. You reaching to fit your belief narrative.

    Does He Live in Your Heart

    I have have heard the phrase "Does Jesus live in your heart?". I find it interesting that this really isn't in the Bible and I would like to understand where this idea and phrase come from. Does anybody know anything about the origins of this phase, either the person or denomination that came...

    Healing Crystals

    I've spent a lot of time studying this subject. My position on it so far is below: I’m fairly certain there is not anybody on this planet more qualified than me to make the claim that having crystals and gemstones around you can have an influence in your life. The real question is what type of...

    Is the creation debate over?

    I personally think Genesis 1 is a recreation and I have many reasons for that. I would suggest reading Psalms 104. It is just a different perspective on Genesis 1. Psalms104 makes more sense as a recreation rather than a creation. Here a few side by side comparisons between the two. Genesis...

    Age Of The Universe

    Psalms 104 is another perspective of Genesis 1. Notice how it is a re-creation. For example, the mountain had been covered with water, the spirit re-newest the face of the deep. Below is a side by side of the two. Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the...

    Age Of The Universe

    The people in Genesis 4 are different from Genesis 5. Genesis 3:22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Now look in Genesis 4 for how old Adam or...

    Romans 8 Question

    Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. This verse is interesting in that the "Spirit of him" is not the same as Jesus spirit. Any...

    Comparison of Genesis 1 and Psalms 104

    I believe Genesis 1 and Psalms 104 are describing the same event from two different perspectives. Below are a few verse comparisons between the two. I'm curious on others thoughts about these two chapters describing the same event. There are a lot of similarities and language. Genesis 1:2 And...

    I worry about feminism. It seems to rob so many women of simple joy.

    Feminism is a eugenics tool used to ensure only the higher end earners maintain the species. Women on average and as a whole exercise hyper-gamy and will only date a guy who is socially and economically more viable than herself or her current partner. Feminism constantly tries to push women up...

    Scientists Want to Know If Earth Once Harbored a Pre-Human Industrial Civilization

    Luke 19:10 10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. Ezekiel 28:2 2 Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a God, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art...

    Where Did Humans Come From?

    You should smile because Jesus lives in your heart. It is all by the blood. Revelation 13:8 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. John 1: 1-4) 1 In the beginning was the Word...

    Alcohol in the Bible

    In Luke 7:34 Jesus is accused of being basically a glutton and a drunkard. That being said, as with most rumors there are some truths at the bottom of it. He most likely was eating and drinking some wine but this was exaggerated and he was accused of being drunk. A side note, often in the Old...

    How do you view Revelation? (Judgement free)

    My take on Revelation: Revelation 9 (7-11) And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. 8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of...
