Some Reasons I Don't Believe in Evolution

[AV1611VET]

That isn't really an answer to the question I asked.

Good -- I'd hate to break my record.

It obviously wasn't taboo until it was prohibited in writing, but it's only an issue after it was prohibited in writing.

Um ... okay ... no argument there.

Everyone who has ever read both those passages has been aware that incest is wrong, but God chose to use it even though he didn't have to.

Incest is both an act and a crime.

As an act, it was okay until it was prohibited; then it became a crime.

Don't you mean during the flood?

No, I mean after the Flood -- as in Genesis 9.

The idea of an absolute morality flies out the window when you read the OT.

Are you kidding me?

 

[Nostromo]

As an act, it was okay until it was prohibited; then it became a crime.

It is this inconsistency that I'm talking about.

No, I mean after the Flood -- as in Genesis 9.

An awful lot of people were intentionally killed prior to that.

Are you kidding me?

No, why would I?

 

[AV1611VET]

It is this inconsistency that I'm talking about.

It is not 'inconsistency'.

As the DNA got more and more corrupt, laws had to be enacted to protect the people.

At a railroad crossing, and in the absence of signs, it's okay to beat a train; but if gates are installed later, then it becomes a violation; and this is not considered an inconsistency.

An awful lot of people were intentionally killed prior to that.

Killed -- but not murdered.

Killed -- but not murdered.

So it is just the laws that stop people practicing incest?

 

[Nostromo]

It is not 'inconsistency'.

Scriptural support for that?

At a railroad crossing, and in the absence of signs, it's okay to beat a train; but if gates are installed later, then it becomes a violation; and this is not considered an inconsistency.

And government legislation is not considered morally absolute.

Killed -- but not murdered.

We weren't talking about murder, but the death penalty. All mankind bar 8 were punished by death for their wickedness.

 

[AV1611VET]

So it is just the laws that stop people practicing incest?

It is the law that makes incest against the law.

Didn't your pastor teach you that Jesus will return to an earth inhabited by people?

Or are you an imposter?

I didn't have a pastor. I had a reverend.

I interpret scripture differently than you. I don't have to interpret our species as having been propogated by two individuals, resulting in inevitable incest. The Bible contains maaaaany metaphors.

Who said anything about "two individuals"? We are talking about Jesus returning to an inhabited earth to bring salvation to His people. Didn't your reverend teach you that?

If your reverend did, then what's this nonsense all about:

What he should probably know is all life on earth eventually will die. Humans won't be on earth quadrillions of years from now. The sun will have expanded to the size of a red giant, and will swallow everything in its path, including us.

 

[Doveaman]

No, because creationists was there, and someone wanted to change it to design proponents. So they attempted to highlight creationists so they could just paste-replace it. But they only highlighted a portion of it; the 'reation' part. So the c-------ists part was left behind, with design proponents stuck into it. Hence, cdesign proponentsists.

Okay, so the letters in "creationists" were bigger than the letters in "design proponents"? Is that it?

design proponents
ocreationists

Or was "design proponents" written diagonally across "creationists"?

What on earth does the size of the letters have to do with anything???

You do know how copy/paste works, right?

Wasn't he using a scissors and glue?

 

[AV1611VET]

Remember, Dove, we were first called 'Christians' by our antagonists.

Wear the 'cdesign proponentsists' badge as a blessing.

After all, if not for the grace of God, we could very well be the ones calling "them" 'cdesign proponentsists'.

Get what I mean?

 

[Doveaman]

I'm guessing they hired someone like you to make the alterations.

I would have used a scissors and glue.

 

[Doveaman]

Remember, Dove, we were first called 'Christians' by our antagonists.

Wear the 'cdesign proponentsists' badge as a blessing.

I kind-a like it. It has a nice sound to it.

I like this one too: 'cdesignchristiansproponentsists'.

After all, if not for the grace of God, we could very well be the ones calling "them" 'cdesign proponentsists'.

Get what I mean?

Yup.

 

[British Bulldog]

It is the law that makes incest against the law.

Your ambivalence about incest is slightly worrying.

 

[AV1611VET]

Your ambivalence about incest is slightly worrying.

Worrying is a sin.

 

[British Bulldog]

Worrying is a sin.

...and incest isn't I suppose.

 

[Belk]

Get what I mean?

Actually, you where called atheists and killed for it. Kind of ironic in a way.

 

[Doveaman]

[British Bulldog]

Another one?

design proponents

What are you smoking? It's quite simple. Go reply to this comment. In the place where you type your response, type in the word creationists. Also type in the words design proponents. Done? Excellent! Now, use your mouse to highlight design proponents, right-click and select copy. Now go to the word creationists, and again using your mouse, highlight the reation part of it. Right-click on that and select paste. The design proponents part that you copied will be inserted to replace the highlighted reation part and voila! you get cdesign proponentsists!
