Oh, it's great. but it's also boring.Great
Yeah. Kinda like believing there is a creator.I suggest this is a tad misleading. Let's take dark matter. The hypothesized existence of dark matter explains phenomena that will otherwise have no explanation, at least yet. So, yes, we do not detect dark matter directly, but it is a very reasonable hypothesis in that it makes predictions that are consistent with the facts. So I think it's rather unfair to call it "faith" .
Is it "faith" to believe in black holes? I'm no expert, but I believe that the evidence for their existence is all indirect, and yet very compelling.
Great, so your point is?Are you afraid of links or something?
1This is the written account of Adam’s family line.
When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God. 2He created them male and female and blessed them. And he named them “Mankind” a when they were created.
3When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. 4After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 5Altogether, Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died.
6When Seth had lived 105 years, he became the father b of Enosh. 7After he became the father of Enosh, Seth lived 807 years and had other sons and daughters. 8Altogether, Seth lived a total of 912 years, and then he died.
9When Enosh had lived 90 years, he became the father of Kenan. 10After he became the father of Kenan, Enosh lived 815 years and had other sons and daughters. 11Altogether, Enosh lived a total of 905 years, and then he died.
12When Kenan had lived 70 years, he became the father of Mahalalel. 13After he became the father of Mahalalel, Kenan lived 840 years and had other sons and daughters. 14Altogether, Kenan lived a total of 910 years, and then he died.

1This is the genealogy of men in the day in which God made Adam; in the image of God he made him: 2male and female he made them, and blessed them; and he called his name Adam, in the day in which he made them.
3And Adam lived two hundred and thirty years, and begot a son after his own form, and after his own image, and he called his name Seth. 4And the days of Adam, which he lived after his begetting Seth, were seven hundred years; and he begot sons and daughters. 5And all the days of Adam which he lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died.
6Now Seth lived two hundred and five years, and begot Enos. 7And Seth lived after his begetting Enos, seven hundred and seven years, and he begot sons and daughters. 8And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years, and he died.
9And Enos lived an hundred and ninety years, and begot Cainan. 10And Enos lived after his begetting Cainan, seven hundred and fifteen years, and he begot sons and daughters. 11And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years, and he died.
12And Cainan lived an hundred and seventy years, and he begot Maleleel. 13And Cainan lived after his begetting Maleleel, seven hundred and forty years, and he begot sons and daughters. 14And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years, and he died.
Etc.
That refers to Genesis. Yes.I want to know whether you believe the historic Christian doctrine that God is the creator of all that is, seen and unseen.
Correct. Not the way He claimed.You sound like you believe that unless God formed a human out of the dirt in a single day, he didn't create him.
Applying something from a farm to believers is fine. Now if Paul said 'there are no oxen, no Adam and no Eve, well that would be differentThe Law had a literal commandment about how to literally treat literal oxen. What Paul says is, "Is it for oxen that God is concerned? Or does he not speak entirely for our sake?" -- and then throws out the literal meaning of the commandment in favor of an allegorical meaning. Presumably you think Paul was a nonbeliever, too.
Its a joke if you believe that everything evolved from a single cell organism instead of God creating it.
Perhaps not, but you do have to believe that all species descended from a common ancestor.To "believe" in evolution doesn't mean I have to assume that life on earth began all by its little self.
Perhaps not, but you do have to believe that all species descended from a common ancestor.
The point was you think it is ok as a Christian to believe that we all evolved from a common ancestor. No conflict despite what the Bible says. You can believe anything you want and still be a Christian is what I’m hearing.I don't 'have' to believe in anything, but I do choose to look at and assess the evidence for evolution. If, on the other hand, you don't wish to do so, no one is going to force you to. You're free to read the first chapters of Genesis in a woodenly literal fashion is you like.
I gave you want you wanted - examples - because you were unwilling/unable to check the links. I do not know what was your point why you wanted them. I only asked if you are even aware that the Genesis genealogies are different in different textual families, did you forget again?Great, so your point is?
Examples of what? What do all those verses say in your mind that you offer them?I gave you want you wanted - examples - because you were unwilling/unable to check the links.

He's not just applying it. He's saying that it did not apply to the farm -- the commandment is solely there for application to believers. He rejects the literal meaning.Applying something from a farm to believers is fine.
It seems you have some problems with memory, so I will not continue in this. You can read the posts that led here, if you want to know examples of what you wanted.Examples of what? What do all those verses say in your mind that you offer them?

Sounds like something a non Christian would say. The way is narrow my friend.
