Question on Noah's Ark

Or fiction. Not considering that possibility is myopic.

But he's got a 170 IQ! Can't you read?

White cliffs and meandering streams are signs of a global flood???

No.

White cliffs and meandering streams are signs of a divine clean-up after the Flood.

Regards the meandering streams, notice here where the Flood waters were told to "meander" to some rendezvous point?

Psalm 104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.
Psalm 104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
Psalm 104:8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.

In their obedience, they etched serpentine paths in the earth, as if to say, "The serpent (Satan) was responsible for this catastrophe."

Ooook then...

Hangs my head in shame

Nice to meet you, by the way; and welcome to CF!

Do you really believe that there is a worldwide conspiracy against YEC???

Yes and no.

First of all, I'm not a YEC.

Second of all, Satan has an infrastructure built on the earth ...

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

... and rules it from his seat:

Revelation 2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

I believe his goal is to sterilize as much of the Bible as he can, so that by the time the Antichrist shows up, there will be very little faith on the earth.

 

[The Stamp]

I know.
We refer to those people collectively as a "mission field."

Why? when you get to them it's already too late because someone else got to them first, do you honestly think you can convince someone to change their minds when they are already convinced that what they believe is true? would you change your mind? no? then why would you think others would? people only change their minds when they are dissatisfied with their existing religion and are looking for something else, why do you think there are so many different versions of Christianity? churches are like restaurants they cater for every taste out there.
It makes me smile when I think of Catholics refusing to eat meat on a Friday because they have been told (by people who knew no more than they) that Jesus was crucified on a Friday.

Nice to meet you too AV, been lurking for a bit, and I find your posts nothing but entertaining lolz

I don't know whether to thank you or facepalm!

Well, if the bible is the divinely inspired word of God, shouldn't it be under God's protection? What can satan do to sterilize it?

 

[AV1611VET]

Why?

Because they are mission fields ... lost souls on their way to Hell.

when you get to them it's already too late because someone else got to them first,

The Holy Spirit can break through and convict them.

Remember Zacchaeus, Nicodemus, Saul of Tarsus?

do you honestly think you can convince someone to change their minds when they are already convinced that what they believe is true?

My job is to be a witness and let God handle the rest.

would you change your mind? no?

I don't know; I was never anything other than a Christian (by religion), then an agnostic, then a Christian by rebirth.

then why would you think others would?

Because my wife did.

people only change their minds when they are dissatisfied with their existing religion and are looking for something else,

Yes ... we call them "mission fields."

why do you think there are so many different versions of Christianity?

For three reasons:

1. Some people put an emphasis on one aspect of Christianity over another (baptism, gifts of the Spirit, etc.)

2. There is a real devil out there with a divide-and-conquer agenda.

3. Scientists weaken the Faith in others, then Satan harvests their souls.

churches are like restaurants they cater for every taste out there.

Hungry?

It makes me smile when I think of Catholics refusing to eat meat on a Friday because they have been told (by people who knew no more than they) that Jesus was crucified on a Friday.

Jesus wasn't crucified on a Friday, the wise men were not at the manager, and the Big Bang is a big joke.

I can smile too!

It is.

How do you think we got It in 1611?

What can satan do to sterilize it?

How long did you say you've been lurking?

 

[JD16]

It is.

How do you think we got It in 1611?

Dunno..Goddidit?..amirite?

long did you say you've been lurking?

For a couple of months, on and off

Damn those evil atheist scientist! I've always knew they were in cahoots with the Devil!

Big Bang is a big joke.

It started out alrite, but after 10 seasons, the jokes gets pretty lame....

 

[AV1611VET]

Dunno..Goddidit?..amirite?

Indeed you are.

God has preserved His word throughout all generations, just as He said He would.

Psalm 12:7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

For a couple of months, on and off

Have you seen any posts were someone basically says, "I was a Christian once, but I had questions that my [pastor] couldn't answer; now I'm a [whatever]"?

They just renewed for 2 more.

Yes, are you saying that is how satan sterilize the bible?

*facepalm*

Other than the times when people changed or added bits like John 7:53-8:11 & Mark 16:8:20

 

[AV1611VET]

Yes, are you saying that is how satan sterilize the bible?

Well ... I could give specific examples of how Satan uses science to shipwreck peoples' faith, if you'd like.

1. Where did Jesus get His Y-chromosome?
2. Why are we 98% chimpanzee (or whatever)?
3. Why is it called a "day one/two/three", when there was no sun yet?
4. Explain various contradictions here and there in the Bible.

I could go on and on about flat earth, heliocentrism, brass sky, Pi, SN1987A, ERVs, bottlenecks, radiohalos, definition of [faith, kind, whatever], Allah, the Crusades, and more; but hopefully you get the message, eh?

I don't understand what he said.

Two more what?

 

[AirPo]

I don't understand what he said.

Two more what?

Seasons of the Big Bang Theory.

1. Where did Jesus get His Y-chromosome?

Well if it was an immaculate conception then I suppose he got it from the HS?

2. Why are we 98% chimpanzee (or whatever)?

Common descent...but I guess you must be sick and tired of hearing that lolz

3. Why is it called a "day one/two/three", when there was no sun yet?

Beats me....I wonder about that too...

4. Explain various contradictions here and there in the Bible.

My guess would be,.... the chief editor was illiterate?
