Ya ... he's that brainiac who pretended he was a lightning rod in a thunderstorm, wasn't he?As Ben Franklin said, "God helps those who help themselves."
Not my version, it's one of probably hundreds of versions that are actually the true versions, just ask their Christian followers, they'll tell you so. Why should anyone accept yours as any more correct over theirs? You simply don't have a convincing case.
Are you telling me that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are a single-celled microbe that 'they' modelled the source of all life forms on this planet from (i.e. as you say: "after Their (Trinity) kind")? You make much less sense every time you write something. Then of course you have to explain why Birds, and in later verses, all the Beasts are also modelled off "His (Jesus) kind" seperately, which might indicate you think Jesus either flies, and/or walks on all fours before assuming human form? Could you explain?
Why not? Firstly, I don't think it is scientifically true, so there's a big tell-tale sign right there. Secondly, even if you're right about it being a 'scientific Truth' (I'm FAR from conceding this point, along with many more Christians than not too, I imagine), then the fact that there's way more believers of even the KJV that don't accept your interpretations would have to indicate the lack of clarity and meaning that a God would surely have. If men had written it, then this difference in ways to interpret these passages (like every other passage in the Bible) is easily explained, so on the available facts (that there's thousands of different Christian denominations, all believeing different things based on their reading of the same texts), it'd have to have been written by men. You fail yet again.
There's no 'scientific Truth' in this verse. Unless you believe 'they (Trinity)' are microbial, of course.
Do you agree that even your special (KJV) translation of the Bible at Genesis 1:28 says "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, ..." - i.e. Past Tense! This has already happened, so you are wrong here too (what a surprise!) - it doesn't say "And God shall bless them, and God shall say unto them, ..." now, does it?? You have REINTERPRETED your scripture to mean something other than what it actually says.
And there's no evidence it can happen at the drop of a hat either. That you keep insisting that unevidenced things 'will' happen, doesn't mean it's possible. Come back when you have evidence.
Already have and so far, I have seen no refute to my view that Gen 1:28-31 is prophecy since it is. The end of the present 6th Day is future. The scientific Fact that God told us the specific testable scientific Truth in Genesis, more than 3k years ago, refutes all other views. IMO
So, all up, I got out of this conversation that you do HEAPS of reinterpreting, mixing up the order of events in the Bible to suit a narrative that You Personally want to be True. When critically examined, it just doesn't stack up I'm afraid...
Ya ... he's that brainiac who pretended he was a lightning rod in a thunderstorm, wasn't he?
What?No, he was the brainiac who got criticized by the church for taking God's divine power of lightning punishment away from Him.
And as a living testament that science is better than religion, we put lightning rods on top of crosses on steeples.No, he was the brainiac who got criticized by the church for taking God's divine power of lightning punishment away from Him.
You know, AV -- your willful ignorance has actually prevented you from delivering a proper insult.
Steeples? You mean those things that attest to God's existence?And as a living testament that science is better than religion, we put lightning rods on top of crosses on steeples.
Lightning rods? You mean those things we put on steeples that attest to science?Steeples? You mean those things that attest to God's existence?
If lightning rods attest to science, steeples attest to ___?Lightning rods? You mean those things we put on steeples that attest to science?
...whatever it is that is second in priority when it comes to lightning protection?If lightning rods attest to science, steeples attest to ___?
...whatever it is that is second in priority when it comes to lightning protection?
Christians have no business in engaging in preventative maintenance, preventative medicine, or preventative anything, do they?Well, something has to protect those steeples from lightning strikes... whatever they allegedly attest to ain't it.

I'm asking if that "maturity" included an embedded education.
You mean, as opposed to Paul, who, after getting saved, went to Arabia and was personally tutored by Jesus Christ?
If you like...
yes or no will do.
I suppose so.
The word "educated" always gives me red flags; but I'll go with YES and see where it leads.
Just so we're clear: God embedded His definitions of "good" and "evil" directly into them at the time of their creation, correct?
Adam & Eve were created mature without history.Just so we're clear: God embedded His definitions of "good" and "evil" directly into them at the time of their creation, correct?
Adam & Eve were created mature without history.
Ready.Can you define "mature" for us?
Ready.
Ready to do what was expected of him.
Adam was given a job (horticulture), a task (zoology), a wife (Eve), and the legal title to the Earth.
ha ha halol.
Are you comparing a living being to a cell phone? Remember the watchmaker thread?Kylie said:So when I upgraded my phone a few weeks ago, and I completed the set up process, signing in with my Google account and Samsung account, and downloading the apps and transferring the contacts across and setting the time zone and all that stuff, my phone became mature?
No.Kylie said:And before that, was my phone immature?
