Some questions for Christians who accept evolution

[justlookinla]

It's up to them.

Now you can answer my question: does it matter?

To some it does, to some it doesn't.

To some it does, to some it doesn't.

Why? Unless the person asking is one of the two women, how is it any business of theirs?

It becomes someone else's business when the arrangement is promoted as normal.

How so?

 

[justlookinla]

How so?

Look to the recent activity concerning the argument that it is normal. It certainly became everyone's business, didn't it?

I have some questions for Christians who have accepted the theory of evolution as being the truth, rather than a straightforward reading of the biblical account of creation...

I answer as an ex-Christian who never saw any conflict between my beliefs and evolution.

• If the Genesis account of creation isn’t true, what do you make of the following part of the ten commandments?

[...]
Exo 20:11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

I never believed that this was true in a literal or historical sense. The author was just repeating what was said in another story in his culture, and that author was just taking advantage of the symbolism of the number 7. Both writers sought to use language that would be meaningful to the readers.

There is no conflict between science ie the theory of evolution and the Bible. To be sure science is learning and growing and correcting error as they go. The Bible has no error but we are growing in our understanding of the truth and science helps us to better understand our Bible.

Moses was very well educated in his day. He had all the books available to him. Alexander the great sold off all those books to pay his war debts. Abraham also as a Chaldean was very well educated in his day. Only God called him out to separate himself from the error to abide in the truth.

Actually, it hasn't. A lot of people have voiced their opinions; none of which are relevant.

Drone usage is not unique to Obama nor is it a moral.

Yes it is unique because it has skyrocketed. Of course it is about right and wrong when they kill people at weddings and funerals and civilians etc.

I don't know what an antiGod lifestyle is.

Sure you don't.. They are not allowed discussing it on this forum. I think one thing comes to mind real fast when we think about Obama.

If you mean abortion that is something else that is not unique to Obama.

So what?? He is gung ho for it and pushed it making it his own issue. It is in the antiChrist collection of issues he had personified.

It must be terrifying in there.

I

Biologically.

don't think so.

I am only mildly a survivalist but I think we should be prepared to live off the grid if the infrastructure should ever go down.

I hope to live off the planet

The husband and wife are to submit to each other. If you can show me a husband that does not submit to his wife then I will be glad to shake his hand.

1cor 11 3 James Bible
"But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God."

I saw the part about the woman submitting, where was the man submitting to the wife part?

 

[dad]

Couldn't say. We cannot define what in there means in your mind. Personally I do not find the wickedness of the final times terrifying so much as wonderfully exciting. The finish line is in sight. God has not given US the spirit of fear.

5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

I hope your referring to after the resurrection. The current body we have is very fine tuned to living on this planet.

How has science helped you to understand the bible?

5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.

Looking at a commentary on verse 21 this popped up first

" Verse 21. Submitting-one to another
Let no man be so tenacious of his own will or his opinion in matters indifferent, as to disturb the peace of the Church; in all such matters give way to each other, and let love rule. "

The context is not wife husband there, it is in the following verse. Don't try to pawn off a fast one on us. I realize churches have mostly female congregations perhaps and have to bend over backwards trying to make the place of women seem something more than what it is...but...better to face reality.

Which female offspring is the husband?

Which one is the son?
