Genesis 1 Again

[Belk]

Very simple question: How did we get our moon?

Why? Will my answer somehow negate the fact that in this thread alone there are three separate answers by three different creationists?

if you believe that the original languages are to be valued above an English translation, it is your duty, as an obedient child of God, to learn those languages so that you may read God's word.

You are right, there is no question we should read the Bible in the origional language. That is why I use the Strongs Bible. I click on the words to study them in the Hebrew. Also I look up every passage that uses the word I am doing a study on, to see the context. I am very much into expository theology and have been for a long time. This is not so much an issue with the Greek because the Greek is so close to the English. At one time I use to go by the name ExpoTheo.

Your 'very simple' question implies a demand for a 'very simple' answer.

Perhaps you need to work on your question.

Not at all.

Nothing you say, show or prove will change my beliefs one iota.

My beliefs are based on faith in creatio ex nihilo; which means that I believe it, even if science says otherwise.

But the morality is way better, whereas the scientific method is null and void.
Nobody gets life in prison for praying. In theory anyway.

Non-sequitur. Getting morals from science is a bit like asking a rock for spare change.

I am atheist, so I consider my morals to be higher than those of ancient mythical texts, however.

Nobody might get life in prison for praying, but you might get beheaded for not praying to the right god.

If God wanted us to value the originals above any other form of the Bible, why did He allow them to disappear into the dust of history?

All we can do is go by the "original" that we had in the early 1500's. We have the dead sea scrolls to verify that what we have is accurate. Bibles tend to get read and they tend to wear out. I mostly read on the internet now. So I do not have to always be spending money to buy new Bibles. Most likely the dead sea scrolls were old Bibles that were just to wore out to read anymore. Better to retire a Bible then to have the Bible start to fall apart in your hands.

Did you see this thread? I noticed you didn't post in it.

No I didn't, and I'm not entirely surprised considering it was closed 6 months before I joined.

I won't tell you what I did to a Strong's Concordance that was given to me.

Let's just say I don't have it anymore and let it go at that.

I even took a knife to the Zodhiates' bible.

James Strong, author of the Strong’s Concordance, has been elevated to the fourth member of the Trinity by many. His corrupt Greek and Hebrew definitions pepper today’s preaching, as if his Concordance was the final and 67th book of the Bible. His liberal definitions are used as quick and weak patches to fill a void in sermons. The space would better be filled by a laborious looking up of all the Bible’s usages of a word.” G. A. Riplinger

Sorry you can't come up with one.

If you're an evolutionist, like you'd probably like me to think you are, you should at least have 1 idea out of 6.

The more I converse with you guys, the weaker you guys come across to me as being some kind of strong evolutionist.

I personally think most of you guys are evolutionist in name only.

Funny you should say that...

I didn't figure it would change your beliefs. You have admitted that if Jesus came down and told you something different you would believe him the devil in disguise. No AV, I was simply showing that your claim of all the different creationist agreeing on how we got our moon is rather easily shown to be incorrect.

Oh, sorry -- that's an oversight on my part.

At least they have one.

Really. Why must an "evolutionist" have an opinion on a cosmological question? Would a Taoist have an opinion on the trinity?

 

[Belk]

No, they have multiples, as has been shown.

WOW -- QED

Can you name six types of evolution?

 

[Belk]

WOW -- QED

Can you name six types of evolution?

Off the top of my head? No. I'm only aware of three. Divergent, convergent, and parallel.

Can you name six things that everyone who claims to be christian agrees upon?

 

[AV1611VET]

Yes -- their claim.

 

[Belk]

Yes -- their claim.

LOL. Witty answer, but that is still only one.
