CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Diamond star, for dad.

Thanks. Interesting! But I would question the assumptions that they base things on there. But, still, it does make one think. Where else would He get the thousands and thousands, and thousands of MILES of the wall of the city, made of precious stones!? Not on earth.

Are you talking about God?
If so I think he would get precious stones by "Let there be precious stones"

Well, He formed man from the dust of the earth, and , "prepared" for us a city, so that does not indicate "zapped"
Job 38 :1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? 3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? 8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? 9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, 10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, 11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place; 13 That it might take hold of the ends [SIZE=-1]F216[/SIZE] of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? 14 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment. 15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken. 16 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?

Well, we can break it down a bit. The creation was not a zapping affair. It took 6 long days and evenings. No premature ezapulation, that!

No. Perhaps Master Designer, or Builder, or Great Scientist, or Architect, might work. Things that indicate the work, and toil, and preperation involved, as well as the considerable time.

Na, those aren’t characteristics of either omnipotence or magic, the latter is dependent on the work of fiction.

No. He made the universe. There are things being born here all the time. That was the big original creation.

How would we know where He got the material? I haven't seen any giant oysters here, though, that could produce a pearly gate! The walls are 25 stories high! There are 12 gates of pearls along the walls, east, west, noth and south! (Three on each side) Where would one find a 25 story high pearl?STRAP ON YOUR LOLLERSKATES AND HEAD FOR THE ROFLCOPTER!!!!!

I don't think He used people for that job. The wall is over 6000 miles long as well. But it isn't something we have seen on earth yet. It is scheduled for a landing here at a certain time.

What if before the split butterflies pooped out giant crystals? That would work as well. Dinosaurs could have been trained by people to assemble the gates and carry all the huge gems!

Out of box dreams are best guided by the map of the word. Otherwise, you end up in a soup.
