I do.
How can you interpret something you don't have?
Excuse me --- the Bible says it, that settles it.
Why do you think the Bible portrays those living in Samaria as going "up" to the city, if Samaria wasn't south of Jerusalem?
Everything is "gradual" to you guys --- instantaneous to us, though ---
These terms have become rather interchangeable to him.So now you're defending your own lie... again.
Is this about glorifying God, the Bible, or yourself?
Genesis 2:7 KJV
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
Clearly this speaks to man evolving from earlier primates to the point in which God imparted a soul.
What do I win???
Wait, wait, wait... I´m trying hard to wring my understanding of English to the maximum.Why do you think the Bible portrays those living in Samaria as going "up" to the city, if Samaria wasn't south of Jerusalem?
Wait, wait, wait... I´m trying hard to wring my understanding of English to the maximum.
So let´s see what this sentence says.
1. The Bible portrays those living in Samaria as going "up" to the city.
2. "The city" here is Jerusalem.
3. The reason the Bible says "up" is because Samaria is south of Jerusalem.
4. If Samaria wasn´t south of Jerusalem, the Bible would not make this statement.
Em... but Samaria isn´t south of Jerusalem - it´s north of Jerusalem.
Did my command of English just leave me?
Perhaps AV wants to tell us that Samaria WAS south of Jerusalem, until the "world was turned upside down". But if this reversal was indeed a reversal in the magnetic field, this would have gone unnoticed by, well, everybody, as the magnetic compass hadn´t been invented yet. The directions... north, south, east and west... are not derived from magnetism, but from the movement of the sun. It is not for nothing that we have terms like "orient" and "occident" for east and west... they literally mean "ascend" and "descend".
For a literalist, he's using a distinctly non-literal interpretation of "up".
No magnetic compass needed.But if this reversal was indeed a reversal in the magnetic field, this would have gone unnoticed by, well, everybody, as the magnetic compass hadn´t been invented yet.
I can tell which direction N is w/o one.Genesis 28:14 said:And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
No magnetic compass needed.I can tell which direction N is w/o one.
The direction the sun rises and/or sets.Err, yes, you (usually) can do that without a magnetic compass. And now please tell me how you do that.
The direction the sun rises and/or sets.
I face North, and East, the direction of the rising sun, is on my right.
I made a claim and backed it with Scripture.You forgot what you were pretending to believe, AV1611VET.
You claimed you were using the Bible to support the magnetic fields reversing... not the physical orientation of Earth.
I made a claim and backed it with Scripture.
If you think I'm wrong, that's your prerogative.
I made a claim and also backed it up with scripture. My claim, in context is valid. There is not one other scripture that disputes my claim.I made a claim and backed it with Scripture.
If you think I'm wrong, that's your prerogative.

So AV, did God embed all the evidence for this magnetic flip out of the Earth then?
