Is Astrology a science?

[Aaron112]

What if I told you I believed in purgatory and got my belief from the bible.
Would that sound reasonable to you?

Contradictory, rather.

 

[AV1611VET]

I have no idea what your talking about.

You said coccoliths piled up over tens of millions of years.

If there were coccolith piles millions of years ago, how is it that a global flood four thousand years ago didn't wipe them out?

If you made a pile of leaves last spring, and a windstorm came through last week, wouldn't it blow your leaves away?

 

[Aaron112]

A person cannot read the bible and come away a Calvinist.
One must be doctrinated to that belief system.

So a person can read the Scripture, and can come away anything, yes, like the religious leaders that seek to kill Jesus' followers, to kill Jesus when He was in their midst.
Remember if a child is raised in the way they should live, when they are older they will not depart far from it.
If , however , they are not raised in the way they should live, then what hope is there for anyone/them/ whoever ? Amazing Grace, Immeasurable, Unfathomable, God makes Himself, Says of Himself, He is the Father of the fatherless... HE can and does raise children in the way they should go, as He Pleases so to do.

I know nothing about your global flood. The earth shows no such event which is why I have no idea what your talking about.

Au contrare. All over the whole world is massive evidence of a global flood, as written in God's Word. Likewise in many of the historical records of many different cultures worldwide, all around the world.

 

[AV1611VET]

I know nothing about your global flood.

Then you don't have the whole story, do you?

The earth shows no such event which is why I have no idea what your talking about.

As I say, it's ironic that people can cross meandering rivers and/or stand atop white cliffs and claim they don't see evidence of the Flood.

 

[dlamberth]

Nope...doesn't exist.

Use your imagination all you want. The Earth tells a very different story.

 

[AV1611VET]

Likewise in many of the historical records of many different cultures worldwide, all around the world.

But don't you think those stories are way off the mark?

 

[Aaron112]

But don't you think those stories are way off the mark?

What mark ?

 

[Aaron112]

Use your imagination all you want. The Earth tells a very different story.

It seems you are not even taking your own advice now. Instead of listening to what others told you about the Earth, etc, use you imagination as if to imagine the truth, and be ecstatically surprised to find out the truth is not what the world accepts.

 

[AV1611VET]

Use your imagination all you want.

No, thanks; or I might lead myself astray.

The Earth tells a very different story.

Obviously you're not listening.

Luke 19:40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

Or maybe you're marching to a different drummer?

 

[AV1611VET]

What mark ?

By way of example, here's the Aztec version:

During the era of the fourth sun, the Sun of Water, the people grew very wicked and ignored the worship of the gods. The gods became angry and Tlaloc, the god of rains, announced that he was going to destroy the world with a flood. However, Tlaloc was fond of a devout couple, Tata and Nena, and he warned them of the flood. He instructed them to hollow out a great log and take two ears of corn-one for each of them-and eat nothing more.

What actually exists outside of fevered imagination
is abundant disproof of the so called " flood".

People with some actual respect for what is written
into the earth know that.
Those who think reading a bible story and glancing
at yec- site garbage makes them better informed than
any geologistvon earth are very insensible.

So informed, nobody could pass even a pretest for intro to remedial geology.

 

[Aaron112]

I guess you and others are entitled to your own fevered imaginations.

Me too.

No one has ever proven truthfully that the flood did not happen.
When someone seeking truth goes into active research to try to prove the flood did not happen, or that Jesus did not live on earth,
they end up believing in Jesus and the flood.

Weird to some, true to all those seeking truth.

 

[Aaron112]

By way of example, here's the Aztec version:

That's a good example, right ?

 

[AV1611VET]

If you want me to think geologists have disproved the Flood, you've got another think coming.

People are quick to tell me they looked for evidence 150 years ago and didn't find any.

Then when I ask if they've look recently with their updated technology, they go 404.

 

[AV1611VET]

That's a good example, right ?

Well ... here's a conversation I once made up between Shem and Nimrod, that I think is a good example of what I'm saying:

Re: The Epic of Gilgamesh

Shem: What's this trash you wrote, Nimrod; are you okay!?
Nimrod: Don't start on me again, uncle; you've always looked down on us Hamites.
Shem: That's garbage too! You used to be a mighty hunter before the LORD, what went wrong?
Nimrod: You think you Shemites are so much better than us, just because my grandfather was cursed for what his father did to your mother in that tent that day.
Shem: I watched you grow up, Nimrod, and how you used to love the LORD so much; but somewhere along the line you went astray and broke away from the rest of us and went and formed your own little empire. Well ... you do what you want, but as long as I live, I'll make sure my eyewitness testimony trumps your lies.
Nimrod: And what makes you an authority on the Flood over me?
Shem: I was there! Remember??? I was on the Ark ... you weren't!
Nimrod: Oh, that's right ... somehow I forgot ... what with there being no evidence and all.
Shem: [facepalms]

Contradictory, rather.

Then calvinism is also contradictory.

I fail to see your point.
Which probably has nothing to do with my statement.
