• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

No. Your passage was not specific.
It used global, all encompassing terms.
You were wrong.

Only not specific in that not every creature was named. However, it is all inclusive of animals with flesh.
"And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female." (Genesus 6:19)

No. They cannot. The term is exactly
as you use it today. This Kind or that Kind.
It is a general, non specific term.

noun
1.
a class or group of individual objects, people, animals, etc., of the same nature or character,

or classified together because they have traits in common; category:
Our dog is the same kind as theirs.

2.
nature or character as determining likeness or difference between things:
These differ in degree rather than in kind.
3.
a person or thing as being of a particular character or class:
He is a strange kind of hero.

The phrase "after their own Kind"....means
"They are the children of their parents" or
"After their own KIN" Get it?

"After their own kin -folk."

Each according to their Kind.....Kin.....Kin-folk.

Offspring each from their parents.

According to their Kind.

Are you up to speed yet?






Funny then how its the professional creationists, like Gish, who claim a "kind" was some type of systematic group... ever heard of Baraminology?

Such a feat is not possible.

Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Was it the Irish Rovers? Oh, no. That was the unicorn.

Methinks the Irish Rovers didn't know their Bibles very well.

Unicorns were indeed aboard the Ark, as they are mentioned later in the books of Job and Psalms; not to mention Numbers and Deuteronomy.

Are you suggesting fish do not breath?

What kind of drugs do you take for your disability?

Fish nostrils are not part of their breathing apparatus
- they are not connected to the fish's throat.

Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

However, that scripture is not talking about the 40 days in the wilderness, is it? I can pull scripture out of context as well.

Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth
(2Kings 5:15)

No.

But it's an explanation as to how He endured 40 days w/o eating.

Let me make this clear again:

Jesus could have gone 100 days w/o either eating or drinking, if it was His will to do so.

2 Kings 5:15 And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.

I believe what you did is called "quote mining," not "pulling Scripture out of context."

Nevertheless, he was fully human on earth. The only point I am suggesting is that the number 40 is not specific, rather a word to describe a period of time within context.

What is the difference? Both have the same objective.

So?

He walked on water, didn't He?

Oh, wait ... you said "on earth."

Nevermind.

Ya ... I heard that tongues junk from Wrong's Concordance pertaining to "40" in the Hebrew.

Only this "40" is in Greek.

I'm not questioning the translation, I'm questioning the context.

Example: I'm drinking a really "bad" cup of coffee right now. I bet it's been a thousand years since I had one like that.

Those ferocious Velociraptors in Jurassic Park were closer to chicken size.
But that didn't make for good movie fun.

Are you quoting Mr Morris's creation research now? Gosh, the institute really is rigorous isn't it!
