Whatever sources you can muster.
No.IOW, do you know your entire family tree going back ad infinitum?
1Ti 1:4 nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than the building up of God that is in faith: --No.
Paul calls that "endless genealogies," and equates it with fables.
Correct.1Ti 1:4 nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies, that cause questions rather than the building up of God that is in faith: --
Good.Hank77 said:Knowing my families genealogy has not caused any questions to draw anyone away from the faith or the truth.
I understand.Hank77 said:I don't think that is what Paul was talking about here. Context is important.
All I have to say is those ancestors were human beings. They didn't come from the same ancestor that births the spider.
I've seen more than one creationist lately make demands to know the *exact* common ancestor from extant species with millions of years of divergence. It's a bit of a silly request since a) the vast majority of living things haven't left behind fossils, and b) even if we did have every single fossil of everything that lived ever, trying to pin down 100% exact ancestry would be neigh impossible.
By the same token though, I wonder how many creationists here can identify their exact ancestors from say, 500 years ago, 1000 years ago, 2000 years ago, 3000... etc?
Heck, I'd be surprised if most people know their family tree going back more than a couple generations.
So if you can't identify those precise ancestors shall we assume those ancestors never existed?
My furthest ancestor was Adam and through Noah. So yes, it is possible to identify ancient ancestors.
Can you identify your specific ancestors from 3000 years ago? 2000 years ago? 1000 years ago? Etc?

Our family history goes back to 800 ad. At this point in time we converted to Christianity and all the records of our family history before this point in time were destroyed. So we would have to go by the DNA.By the same token though, I wonder how many creationists here can identify their exact ancestors from say, 500 years ago, 1000 years ago, 2000 years ago, 3000... etc?
I have thought about that. We will be able to talk to every ancestor that we ever had all the way back to the beginning. God has the family tree of every person that has ever lived. Even though there are branches cut off that tree because they did not bear fruit.If they were saved, I'll see them in Heaven
Correct.
And that's just what evolution does.
It precipitates question after question after question, as this forum demonstrates.

Count me in!
Now the idea that if you can't discover just WHOM then they never existed? Does this mean some people spawned more recently?
Can you see gravity? Does that mean it doesn't exist? *you get my drift yes?
Other than a mere assertion, can you verify this?
HalleluYAH! and also Abraham, the father of faith (in Jesus, in Yahweh, in His Word). As written, we are children of Abraham by faith.Sure. I'll go with Noah and Adam.
So far, no one on earth , in heaven, or below the earth, has ever ,Other than a mere assertion, can you verify this?
For those without RESERVATIONS (without seats assigned),If they were saved, I'll see them in Heaven and we can talk about it at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb.
-_- the deity calls itself a deceiver on multiple occasions in the bible. One of the most depressing thoughts that has come to my mind is that there is a god, but it lies to some people to gain entertainment from worship and conflict that arises from differences in beliefs, only for its promise of an afterlife to also be a lie.So far, no one on earth , in heaven, or below the earth, has ever ,
not even once, not ever,
proven YAHWEH to be a liar.
