Here's my problem, I believe in evolution, and it brings up doubts especially in the OT...

I agree with Sarah, it seems strange that Noah's descendants were so quick to forget the destruction God brought down on mankind with the flood. It's almost as if it didn't happen.

Humans are quick to forget a lot. How long after the most brutal of all wars never to be fought again did we humans yearn for round two? That's in the 20th century. 'Exceedingly wicked' comes to mind in the dealings of mankind with mankind.

At least with Babel that was hundreds of years later.

No, you handed in an incomplete report. I am being nice and giving you extra white space to complete your thought before giving you an "F".

The flaw in your analogy is it assumes a qualified educator.

That's because of the mess left behind in round one. Yearning had little to do with it.

You attempted to make a bold conclusion based on one verse. I wanted to see if you actually applied any exegesis to it. You did not, therefore your project receives an 'incomplete.' No recess today.

I'm glad you concede your Biblical understanding is limited. We are getting somewhere....good.

Ah, now you're attempting to be clever... you've surrendered, then.

But in a sense, it is true that I'm limited to my knowledge of the Hebrews, their history, and their culture, when I read their scriptures... since I have no interest in hijacking their theology and making it my own, I'm "limited" in that I don't view them with the double-edged sword of.... well, love/hate is too vague; exploitation/contempt is more on the mark.

Yes, very limiting when you're not mining someone else's religion for whatever you can shoehorn into your own. Although it is liberating, in a sense, to know that the vast majority of the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, were written by observant Jews... my respect for these people and their distinct beliefs does, however, "limit" me somewhat.

Basic comprehension of the English language.

Now try it in the Hebrew, paleo-Hebrew or even LXX Greek.



Adam didn't die that day, disobedient or not.

Why is that though? The answer follows after that. The answers continue to be revealed many years to centuries after as well. Yet Adam did die. Hint: 2 Peter 3:9

Your lesson plan leaves much to be desired. You failed to make the connection.

Not if understanding the fallen nature is considered as the entry argument. A dog quickly returns to its own vomit.

What's wrong with English? Was the Bible poorly translated?

Sounds like it took quite some time to come up with a plausible excuse...

And so you return to this idea that you're teaching something here...

No pointing out your commentary on Scriptures is akin to a football bat.


Who's hijacking? See Romans 11. But I am glad you admit you are wandering about a Christian forum looking for items to be contentious on. Then feign knowledge. Quite revealing. Thanks.


Who is shoehorning? Paul? Peter? John? Luke? Are you saying only Christian Jews should be theologians or expounders on Scriptures? Who is not respecting observant Jews?

You are all over the map here.

English works just fine.

Whereas your contempt for those who don't find your arguments as compelling as you do remains laser-focused....

Now comes the point where you make another comment on your superiority in these matters... go ahead; I'll wait.
