Chronogenesis II

[Split Rock]

That doesn't hold water.

God gifts us scientists, people born with golden clipboards, to interpret all of this.

.

Then why do you reject scientists' interpretation?

 

[pgp_protector]

Then why do you reject scientists' interpretation?

Because he does not like the interpretation.

 

[AV1611VET]

Then why do you reject scientists' interpretation?

If it goes against the Bible I'm supposed to reject it.

 

[Dizredux]

If it goes against the Bible I'm supposed to reject it.

If it goes against your interpretation is a more accurate statement.

God is not required to operate in compliance with your interpretation of the Bible.

[selfinflikted]

Your recall is correct!

Mom neither went to church, nor read the Bible.

Dad went to church and made my sister and me go as well, until we were 16.

The church was American Baptist by denomination.

I left it and went to Independent Baptist, KJVO.

And for the record, my pastor and I disagree on that too.

My pastor believes that, if the KJB was ever to be corrected, only the Textus Receptus is qualified to do so.

Whereas I believe that the KJB is superior to the Textus Receptus.

Done.

I stand corrected.

 

[AV1611VET]

If it goes against your interpretation is a more accurate statement.

I'm responsible for interpreting It correctly, as are you, as is everyone.

It's a responsibility I accept, and I like to think my interpretation aligns up with Its intent.

If not, I'll answer to God.

Anything wrong with that?

 

[AV1611VET]

I stand corrected.

Ain't no thang, my friend!

 

[Split Rock]

If it goes against the Bible I'm supposed to reject it.

Yet, according to you, God gifts us with scientists to interpret nature for us. If your understanding of scripture goes against the understanding of God's gift for understanding, doesn't that imply your understanding is incorrect?

 

[AV1611VET]

Yet, according to you, God gifts us with scientists to interpret nature for us.

That's right.

If your understanding of scripture goes against the understanding of God's gift for understanding, doesn't that imply your understanding is incorrect?

-- Huh?

'The understanding of God's gift for understanding?'

Nope, although I might not agree with you, it is religious position so it is OK with me on that basis.

I don't know if you're one of the brainiacs who deny (or question) the existence of angels; but do you realize you will be judging them in Heaven?

1 Corinthians 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

What does this have to do with the discussion? Is this some kind of free association exercise.

[AV1611VET]

What does this have to do with the discussion?

It means there's a time when even you are going to have to turn your back on what scientists are telling you and learn to tell them to take a hike.

I don't care if your heart is in a science book because that's where your money is ... if scientists tell you Genesis 1 speaks of a solid dome, or angels don't exist, or whatever, you're going to have to stop believing them.

Abiogenesis is a lie of the devil, and the existence of angels -- despite what scientists say -- prove it.

You can't even put the OP in chronological order (or are unwilling to).

Is that what you're going to tell God when He asks you why you believe what you do?

 

[PsychoSarah]

That doesn't hold water.

God gifts us scientists, people born with golden clipboards, to interpret all of this.

If the Bible is vague, then maybe some scientists need to get saved and let Christ lift the veil, eh?

Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

Notice here where scientists are referred to as "kings" in God's eyes?

Solomon was such a scientist-king.

And in today's dispensation, where the Holy Spirit has now come to dwell on the earth, scientists have no excuse to claim "vagueness."

That's why I quoted Psalm 19.

And for the record, one has to only go to Genesis 2:1 to see that there are more than one "firmament" created.

Scientists are independent beings from the literal bible. I would like you to explain what stars are based solely on what the bible says and see how far that gets you. Better, how many planets in our solar system? No text could possibly hold the concise answer to every question, especially considering the fact that certain aspects of biology by themselves require more pages than the bible contains just for diagrams alone.

 

[Loudmouth]

It means there's a time when even you are going to have to turn your back on what scientists are telling you and learn to tell them to take a hike.

Why would you turn your back on reality and facts?

What are you hoping to accomplish by ignoring reality?

 

[Split Rock]

That's right.

-- Huh?

'The understanding of God's gift for understanding?'

Yep. The understanding of nature provided by God's gift for understanding nature.. scientists.
