I do not need to know Norse Mythology or any Mythology for that matter. All I need is the love and the life of God. Mythology does not save people, God does.

Now, JohnR7, perhaps I’m wrong, but doesn’t a literal interpretation of the Bible give a dating for creation that is about six thousand years old?

It is very common for people to get creation mixed up and confused with the genologys. We read about a male and a female in Ch 1 of Gen. They were created on day 6 and were basicly hunter, gathers. They were given the whole earth to "subdue".

In the second ch of Gen. 2 on day 8, we see that God formed Adam and then Eve came from Adam. God planted a garden in Eden and they were put there to tend the garden. Adam and Eve were the first man and women as we know them today. They have been around 6000 years. If you study your history of mankind, you will see a hugh change take place 6000 years ago. Man came out of the stone age and started to use metal. He began to use agriculture and settle down into communities. Also, they begin to see a lot more disease in the bones they find 6000 years ago, compared to all the bones they find before then.

Either the scientist is off by an absurd 25% in his estimate or the bible is incorrect in its genealogy. 

The Bible is 100% accurate, relyable and dependable. It is pure and twice tested. It sets the standard. There is nothing new about science being off on their dates. Recently, with the new digital camera that they just installed on the Hubble, they have come up with a new date for the age of the universe based on the expansion rate. The new age is 2 billion years less then the age they believed the universe to be.

I only accept the truth. The word of God is truth, and a standard to go by. Also we have the Holy Spirit of truth to guide us and to lead us into all truth. I stay away from things that are going to be burned up in the fire. This world was cleansed once with water and it will be cleansed a second time with fire.

Everyone is going to go though fire. Those of us who are saved are cleansed by spiritual fire. Those who reject God will go though a different kind of fire, a physical one. They say that 64 million years ago a "doomsday astroid" hit the earth and caused a world wide fire that destroyed 2/3 of the life on the planet. Something very much like that is about to happen again.

Thank you for christian response to an "unbeliever"

Odin views your puny little religion with contempt. You will feel his wrath soon, unbeliever.

*snark* Get the point?

I'll go one step further: I'll apply Pascal's Wager, just for a goof:

All things considered, you should worship Odin. If you do, and he doesn't exist, you lose nothing. But if you don't, and he does exist, he'll most likely shish-kabob you on Gungir (his spear) and roast you on a fire like a suckling pig. Do you really want to take that chance?

Perhaps now we can lay Pascal's Wager to rest with the other fallacies.

Oh, A Challange between the Great God Almighty, Creator of the Heaven's & the Earth with lightening bolts in His hands and Odin the little guy over there with the spear.

What is that you say, your putting you bet on the underdog? I guess you can do what you want with your money.

 

[Jerry Smith]

Let's apply Pascal's wager to the Discordian religion, specifically the laws that say:
1) Hell is reserved exclusively for those who believe in it.
2) The lowest rung in hell is reserved for those who believe other people go there for not believing in it.

Now, if you believe these tenants and they are not true, you have lost nothing. If you believe them and they are true, you also have lost nothing. But...

If you believe them and they are true, you may be in deep trouble due to the unusual paradox that if you believe them, then you believe in hell. Still, you will get to look down on those further down in the pits who subscribed to one of those "True Religions"..

One could wish it was more reliable than your spelling. But...

"1 Kings 7:23 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about." KJV

Now pi = ~ 3.142..; 3/3.142=~.955

So in this case at least, the Bible is only 96% right.

More to the point: Most archaeologists working in Israel/Palestine now discount the story of Joshua's conquest of the "Promised Land." It simply didn't happen. Moreover, during the time of the supposed reigns of David and Solomon, Jerusalem was little more than a village.

Creator of Heavens and Earth? What are you talking about? Everybody knows that the Earth and sky were formed out of the bones of the great frost giant Ymir. I would like everyone to have at least a third grade knowledge of Norse Creationism before they get their PhDs.

And since when does your god throw lightning bolts? I think you're mistaking him for Zeus. You might also want to brush up on Greek Gods... and then your own.

Underdog? Odds are even from where I stand. In fact, ESPN is predicting Odin in the 8th round.

So whats your point? 

The main question is "is said to" so it is a rumor?

 

 

[sulphur]

After looking at all the aguements posed and talk of pascals wager I can see a difference in thinking. one of the first weapons I would use against the crassness of johnR7 would be Occams razor if he could accept it
First question--IS there a god------yes or no
If yes then----etc

You have to take into consideration the thickness of the rim, then the math works out just fine.

In other words, you assume a brim thickness that will give you the right answer.

There is nothing to assume, I know the Bible is 100% true. If anyone says the Bible is anything other than truth, then I assume they do not know what they are talking about.

In this case I did not do the math on it myself, but I did read where someone else did the math and it work out just fine.

There are plenty of people who have taken it upon themselves to try and modernize the Greek myths. I will leave that to them.

Such as Christians with their reinvention of the Dionysus/Osiris/Mithras God-man story...

Oops. Sorry. I guess we should pretend that the Christ story was somehow unique.

Yes, it is an assumption. It is a matter of faith, not knowledge.

Someone else, then, assumed a brim thickness that would give the correct answer. If the Bible did not give a brim thickness, it is assumed so that it appears that the Bible is 100% accurate when making the calculation.
