A self-serving definition if I ever heard one. First I'd have to see some real evidence of this "God" of which you speak. (Don't bother posting any. I've seen all sorts of claimed evidence and once believed it myself, but I don't anymore.)
What people do or do not put first and foremost has nothing to do with me
Really?
I thought so
If we once believed, would not He be working on us? The evidence people need is Him coming in to their lives when invited. That is not gotten by digging in the dirt for 'evidences' of God
The bible seems to indicate otherwise.
To put Jesus first is not related to a personal conception of ours. He is who He is and lived like He lived. There is no confusion about who He is.
And I will not be agreeing with your idea that no one can know God or put Him above other things
Does evolution even say "humans came from earlier apes?"
To the extent that "evolution says" is a proper linguisitic construct, yes.
Yes, the common ancestor of humans and other great apes (gorillas, chimps, bonobos) is a great ape. The common ancestor of all apes is an ape.
You certainly seem overly concerned about it given your statements here.
Yes, really.
There is plenty of evidence of people believing in things without any experience of it happening to them. There was no evidence of your god acting in my life.
So NOT hundreds like you claimed.Not the birth, His risen body. Although some people suggest that there could have been dozens of wise men. Add the shepherds. The crew and relatives at Bethlehem Inn. Etc. Then there was God Almighty in attendance looking on and the angels! I suspect there were trillions!I have heard it suggested as well that in heaven, time travel will be no obstacle, so I may even get over to see it!
No. Pointing out how a Chicken Little quest to flee doomsday on earth is not putting man or God first is not being overly concerned with it.
Except you then immediately said you did not want to see any
You are a good example. Your baseless doubts have no experience or substance to them
Like He gave up?
Whether I accept someone's story or not, I still want to make sure I've got their story straight. That's the intel analyst in me.
It was not the birth of Jesus I was talking about specifically, but the risen Jesus. All aspects of His life are confirmed and Mary is vindicated from the slanders by His proving He was God and rising from the dead.
