Example of this in science are Laws. If I told you a mother had 46 chromosomes and the father had 46 chromosomes it would easily be argued if I said the child had 92 chromosomes.
My math is correct 46+46=92; except science has shown the child would have 23 of the fathers and 23 of the mothers and would have 46 chromosomes.
When it comes to the flood; I can show both a local and global flood. Local meaning it covered the land that was inhabited. Global meaning when the waters reached the shore lines of the continent of that time; water covered the whole globe making it actually Global. But no one at that time would be aware of any other continents or islands.
The real problem is when YOU, go looking for the evidence of a flood and base all understanding of local floods and compare it to a global flood.
WOW! That was well-stated!My burden has been lifted, by the death and Ressurection of Christ. You still carry yours, unfortunately.
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. (Matthew 7:5 KJV)
I am more then sure KW has casted her beam out and can see clearly the motes in her brother's eye. Therefore her Judgement can be seasoned with mercy and love.
How about you?
Did you not judge her judgement?

John 1: 9-11
Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.
Matthew 7: 21-23
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Proverbs 3: 5-7
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil.
It is very clear that God not only desires, but expects that we have faith in His word.
2 Tomothy 3: 16-17
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
I think ignorance is a terrible burden. Deliberate ignorance even more so.WOW! That was well-stated!
Eyes barn ignit, eyes die ignit.I think ignorance is a terrible burden. Deliberate ignorance even more so.
How, by quoting Sritpture?Judge and ye shall be judged.
You are on dangerous ground.
Nothing that is written has ever been debunked, so your statement is a lie.Tool, bible prophecies have all been debunked with logic. Even the most prominent christian apologists don't use prophecies when debating atheists, because they know there is nothing to them.
Since you follow your own interpretation of logic and reason, you're chaising your own tail; not the truth.I do my best, to follow logic and reason, so I end up following the truth.

Do you even know the meaning of Luke 6:37?
We are called to spread the truth of the word of God, not to repeat the lies of evolution.
I think we understand.Now, do you understand?
Truth is not determined by vote, but by God's authority.Why do you keep bringing up this phrase 'lies of evolution'? The truth to the majority of Christians who are not YEC is that God created.
I posted what the Bible states. Your own faith or lack of it is between you and God. When you post lies about what the Bible actually says I will call you on it and point out the falseness of what you claim.You posted some verses that suggests any Christian who did not think your way would somehow be deprived of eternal life.
Why can't you believe in the word of God; even when those words are written by God Himself on stone tablets and incorporated into the ten greatest commandments of mankind?Why can't you give God credit for a wonderful universe, with all its physical laws, wonder and beauty and science for finding out HOW he did it?

"folks who claim they are christian, believe the following..."
In the first place, you statement is written in the third party, not as a statement of your personal beliefs.
In the scond place, Christian means "of Christ." How can one truly be of Christ when they believe contrary to the Scriptures, which Christ revered and acknowledge as the word of God? You can't simultaneouls believe that it is raining and not raining outside. You can't claim to believe in the Bible and yet disbelieve every other word of it. When you tell others that the Bible is false you become a false teacher. False teachers are the enemies of truth. Christ's followers are not His enemies.
What did Jeus believe about the flood? He said, "For just as the days of Noah were, so the presence of the Son of man will be. For as they were in those days before the flood, eating and drinking, men marrying and women being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark; and they took no note until the flood came and swept them all away, so the presence of the Son of man will be." Apparently, if the flood is a myth then it certainly fooled the son of God; who witnessed it.
All the events that you mention in your post were witnesses by Christ and are denied by "folks who claim they are christian." Your words, not mine. I haven't seen you yet count yourself among those making such a claim. I do know that you are teaching contrary to what is written, and false treachers are mentioned many times in the bible.
Regardless of what some "folks who claim they are christian" believe, the Bible is the word of God. God does not command consensus, he commands us to have faith.
