• 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.

Context changes over time with many words and phrases. I just think that is something that needs to be considered. Especially when it contradicts.

Well thank the firmaments we have you guys to keep us focused on their ignorance.

That is the definition of Kind......some type of grouping.

Creationists who do "baraminology" actually carry out phylogenetic analysis ans such to determine what the different "baramins" (a baramin being a technical term for Kind) are.

From AIG:

"The desire to classify modern creatures—based on the original created kinds—has spawned a new field of biology known as baraminology. "

Then where are they?

Why was post flood survival determined by the ratio of isotopes in the rocks that were found above their buried comrades? That's a mystery that no YEC has yet solved.

Good. Your almost getting it.
IT IS NOT SPECIFIC IF IT IS ALL INCLUSIVE!

Examples of increasing specifics:

8. food
7. junk food
6. dessert
5. ice cream
4. premium ice cream
3. Ben and Jerry's ice cream
2. Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream
1. a double-scoop waffle cone of Ben and Jerry's Chunky Monkey ice cream

That's nice.
I don't follow creationist groups.
If they think that helps, fine.

SkyWriting, never did see a reply to this.

Perhaps none.
Only those "in whose nostrils was the breath of life" were on the Ark.
I'm not sure if they qualified. I don't use that phrase myself.

Gen 7:8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,

and then in Gen 7:21 we have this
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:

So if they weren't on the ark, and every creeping thing not on the ark died, where did they come from?

I have found each and every "contradiction" to be a "complimentary"
source of insight.

There are no "contradictions" in scripture
just mistakes due to weak study habits.
These habits can always be improved.

I figured that at some point you would check.
In this case check the sentence before it, Gen 7:20


The first rule of interpretation is to:

#1 Add on the sentence before and after the passage.
Then
the chapter before and after, then the book before and after.
