Those verses you cited say the churches obeyed. If some did not obey the Apostles' ruling, I don't think the Apostles would consider them to be part of their church.

I thought the Council of Jerusalem in Acts is when the Apostles said the Judaizers were wrong. Would they still call Judaizers 'Christian' despite them being a different church?

The Apostles declared them heretics and outside of their church. They would've called them Christians still?

St. Basil was ignorant of Ancient Near Eastern mythology. There is evidence he would've said different things had he known of all the other ANE origin and flood myths. He wasn't dumb, he did use archeological findings to form ideas on the culture Old Testament times. He just didn't live in an...

Genesis is myth. St. Irenaeus and Fr. Lawrence Farley.

Fasting has nothing to do with valuing animals.

Macroevolution is change above the Species level, so you do believe in it. Obnoxious how YEC have hijacked and changed the definition of macroevolution. You do believe it, you just don't know how to use the word properly. Find another word.

God spending billions of years to create is just as easy as spending a microsecond to create, or 240 hours in fact. If anything, God using gradual processes to create the world allows us to try to figure out how the galaxies all came to be. Lot more fascinating than it all poofing...

I don't think God values animals very highly as we can eat as many of them as we desire. They can be killed and eaten as carelessly as cabbages.

If you didn't ignore the evidence, then you'd come up with detailed explanations for a YEC model. Nobody has done that. Things like 'how the Kangaroos got to Australia despite no land bridge existing in a post-flood ice age' get waived off with weak and broad explanations. YEC always avoid...

I have not seen a single YEC biologist perform decently in any debate. I used to be YEC, and the failure of YEC biologists is probably what got me out of it.

You cannot prove George Washington ever existed. "Were you there?" -Ken Ham.

Ignore all evidence then. Measurements and evidence doesn't matter when figuring out the past. If YEC were true, there would be concrete explanations for things like how Koala bears got to Australia after a global flood, instead of weak explanations intended to comfort those who already believe it.

Hold a candle to his knowledge? He's a KJV only Baptist who has a diploma from a 'college' that is run out of a mobile home. He didn't know that modern produce looks nothing like ancient produce. I knew that.

Oh wow, you like Jack Chick. It's really sad you believe in the KJV onlyist movement, as well as Baptist theology. Baptists didn't exist in the 1st century, yet Christians did. Feel free to explore what original Christianity is.

Genesis 1-11 isn't science. It's a myth. The word myth sounds derogatory, but think of it like one of Jesus' parables. I'm also not a big fan of Kent Hovind's heretical beliefs. I'm not too fond of cultist KJV onlyist Baptists.

Kent Hovind spreads misinformation and hatred. He gives Christianity a bad name. He even worked with Jack Chick for crying out loud.

The video I linked is full of him using insults. His PhD is a fake. Degrees and diplomas do mean something. If you think having a PhD in biology from an accredited university is no big deal, why don't you go get one. Or better yet, why doesn't Kent Hovind get one? The fact he spent money on one...

Why do you love him? Is it the fact he calls himself a Dr.? Is it because his recent videos are full of insults? Is it because of his Baptist theology and hatred of Catholics?
