"..man, once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous, and like a ship without a rudder, is the sport of every wind. With such persons, gullibility which they call faith, takes the helm from the hand of reason, and the mind becomes a wreck."The words of men are not the same as the written Word of God.
A general cursory glance at the evidence will tell you that they are not the same.

What I said stands. If you accept what I said with the Word of God, then praise the Lord. If not, then that is your choice. However, there is no sense me going around and around in circles over the same thing.
“This is a very complicated case Maude. You know, a lotta ins, a lotta outs, lotta what-have-yous.”18 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse." ~ (Romans 1:18-20)
~ The Word of God.
I was just asking a question. If you don't feel like answering, that's fine, but I hardly see the point in spending time responding without actually answering a question. More power to you though.

Venus appears like a star to us because it flickers like a little light, but it is actually a planet. So when God says He made the stars, He is referring to both planets and actual stars (i.e. the lights in the sky: Which would be the sun, the moon, and the stars (including both the planets and their suns).
Thanks for answering my question.
Thanks. So what we have then is time. The time as seen here that something takes to move in space somewhere. Something that is of unknown size and distance. (unless you prove time exists the same there also we absolutely know no distances).
Something that could be the size of a marble or tennis ball or spaceship has something smaller revolving around it. The revolutions take so much time HERE where time exists as seen and experienced by us HERE. That does not tell us anything about whether time exists THERE.
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?”These words will not even exist in God's Kingdom.
Anyways, it is written...
"But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness." (2 Timothy 2:16).

Kinda irrelevant: plenty of people of other faiths die for theirs as well. And atheists have died for not being a part of the predominant faith in certain countries for ages, and are still persecuted as well.What many here do not seem to realize is that there are Christians who DO die for their faith even today in various countries.
Christians have been dying because of their faith since the religion started. If anything, the deaths have decreased significantly in recent times.This is just a prelude to the End Times when the antichrist will kill Christians for their faith and refuse to take the mark of the beast.
Who cares how comfortable some are with lies and delusion??

Hey, I get it. You love science and evolution. Let that be your thing. I prefer to love God and I choose to follow what God and His Word says (And not to speculate and go outside of what it says).
But the Bible does not teach Macro-Evolution. The Bible does not teach that we come from monkeys.

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." (2 Timothy 3:16).
"The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times." (Psalms 12:6).
"For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe." (1 Thessalonians 2:13).

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you."5 "...God;
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God." (Romans 2:5-11).
Why would those two things be mutually exclusive?
