So you claim, yet where's your evidence that God was specifically referring to a cylinder soaked in nitroglycerin?Sorry, where we only read "power" in English, God is talking about dynamite. And this was recorded well before 1867. (Before 70, but who's counting?) Those that are too dull to hear, will miss the point as well as be unable to put it in context in this thread.
Anyway there are several verses that use the word dunamis, from which we obviously got dynamite. This word is not used as much, so when and where it is used becomes significant. Here's 4 places, just to get you started:
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Acts 3:12 And when Peter saw [it], he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
Acts 4:7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?
Acts 4:33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all."
Not used as much as what? δυναμις is used 119 times in the NT.Anyway there are several verses that use the word dunamis, from which we obviously got dynamite. This word is not used as much, so when and where it is used becomes significant.
Here are two more:Here's 4 places, just to get you started:

I still don't know what your discussion of this word was getting at. δυναμις certainly doesn't mean "dynamite" in the NT.Just one more example of your comrades being incapable of discussing the Word of God in any relevant fashion, and would've been much better off sticking to medical students boycotting lectures on ToE, or something
So you claim, yet where's your evidence that God was specifically referring to a cylinder soaked in nitroglycerin?
For my benefit, could you go through each of those passages and highlight exactly which word refers to dynamite?
Put 2 and 2 together, eh? The Greek word is what? Sounds like what? The point God is making is what?
Leave your anachronisms at the door and make a genuine effort to see what's actually being said?
Because you wrote that God was talking about dynamite when the word δυναμις is used in the NT, and the word "dynamite" refers to an explosive based on nitroglycerin. So what you wrote means that God was talking about nitroglycerin in the NT. Perhaps you meant something else, but it seems a little silly to expect people to guess what you mean if that's the case. Why don't you just say what you mean?Don't know how you can read that into what I said.
Because if they make clear, unambiguous statements, they open themselves up to the possibility of being shown wrong. If you flabble around and never say anything definitive, you can semanticly tapdance your way out of anything, and claim to be correct.Because you wrote that God was talking about dynamite when the word δυναμις is used in the NT, and the word "dynamite" refers to an explosive based on nitroglycerin.

E.g. evolution and "kinds"
That is what happens with the evos on here. Far to often they just blindly attack people. But they will not try to show any evidence where they can be shown to be wrong. It is one thing to tell people they are wrong and it is another to prove it. Far to often they are not able to produce any evidence or proof to back up their claims.they open themselves up to the possibility of being shown wrong.

Alfred Nobel got the word "dynamite" from the Greek word "dynamis" the same word that is translated power in the New Testament of the Bible.You said the Bible referred to dynamite. Dynamite is an explosive device made from a cylinder of absorbent material (sawdust, etc) soaked in nitroglycerin.
If, as you claim, the Bible refers to dynamite, where's your evidence?

Thank you very much for proving my point first time to bat. NOW would you like to make more empty claims or would YOU like to present some evidence to back up what your saying?Baloney.
I defy you to find a single claim made by "evolutionists" not supported by evidence?
Did someone say that? The Bible makes LOTS of predictions. BUT then so does Science. In fact Science ONLY has value WHEN they make accurate predictions. For example Noble wanted to stablize exposives to prevent accidents that were going to happen in the future.And that in no way means that the Bible predicted the discovery or use of dynamite.
A creation date for WHAT? I said Adam was born on 4004BC. Bishop Ussher did the math on that and it is has universal acceptance. This is NOT the board for unconventional theology. I AM NOT going to waste my time on a point that has universal acceptance. I would suggest you go there if you want to discuss revisionism or any other unconventional theology.I'll give you a perfect example. When people claimed that you could just add up the dates in the Biblical genealogy to get to a 4004BC creation date.
In that last post you wrote, where your guilty of what you accuse me of. Projection is a very simple and easy to understand concept. It really should be no problem for you. Frauds Daughter Anne was the one that mostly takes credit for it although she just polished up what her dad started.
