Yes it is God who tells us it is he who shut up the sea with doors Job 38:8

Job 38:8 speaks of closing the source of the sea, shutting the doors as it gushed forth from the womb.

 

[Apple Sky]

Fine but you seem to have avoided my question about what stops the sea gushing forth over other places than Antarctica, if, as you claim, the verse about God shutting the sea in refers only to a supposed ice wall around Antarctica.

No I haven't I've answered your question but you refuse to believe it.

 

[David Lamb]

And you have no proof that they are not telling fairy tales.

But you are the one who disbelieves what they, including the Christians among them, say, so it is you who needs to supply the proof that you are correct and that they are all lying.

I'm not accusing anyone of anything, I've just quoted a verse.

But what has that verse got to do with our present discussion?

 

[prodromos]

And you have no proof that they are not telling fairy tales.

Fact check false. There is plenty of evidence. Your unwillingness to accept the evidence has no bearing on its validity.

Job 38:8 speaks of closing the source of the sea, shutting the doors as it gushed forth from the womb.

Yes I know, how else would God do It ?

 

[David Lamb]

No I haven't I've answered your question but you refuse to believe it.

If you agree that you haven't answered my question, what am I supposed to be refusing to believe? It can't be your answer to my question, because you've just said that you haven't answered it.

 

[Apple Sky]

But what has that verse got to do with our present discussion?

A lot.

 

[prodromos]

No I haven't I've answered your question but you refuse to believe it.

This is what's known as "projection", when you accuse someone of doing the very thing you yourself are guilty of.

 

[David Lamb]

A lot.

Well, you have said you were not accusing anybody of making profane and idle babblings, so what else is there in the verse that could specifically apply here?

 

[Apple Sky]

If you agree that you haven't answered my question, what am I supposed to be refusing to believe? It can't be your answer to my question, because you've just said that you haven't answered it.

Confused - For some reason it won't let me post emojis or pictures or allow me to link (frown).

 

[David Lamb]

Confused - For some reason it won't let me post emojis or pictures or allow me to link (frown).

Yes, I found the same thing. In one of my replies to you, I had originally included a "smile" emoji, and it wouldn't accept it. When I removed the emoji, it posted with no problem.

 

[Apple Sky]

Well, you have said you were not accusing anybody of making profane and idle babblings, so what else is there in the verse that could specifically apply here?

Science, the landing on the moon, NASA etc etc etc.

 

[Apple Sky]

Yes, I found the same thing. In one of my replies to you, I had originally included a "smile" emoji, and it wouldn't accept it. When I removed the emoji, it posted with no problem.

Yes this is very strange.

 

[David Lamb]

Science, the landing on the moon, NASA etc etc etc.

But Paul doesn't mention moon landings or NASA. The word translated in some versions as "science" just means "knowledge."

 

[Apple Sky]

"science" just means "knowledge.

Yes - Vain Babbling knowledge then.

 

[David Lamb]

Yes - Vain Babbling knowledge then.

So who are you accusing of pushing vain babbling knowledge here?

 

[Hentenza]

Yes it is God who tells us it is he who shut up the sea with doors Job 38:8

It’s not a literal reading. We’ve talked about poetic and non literal verses but you still insist in a literal reading of a verse that it is clearly not literal.

For example:

“He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91‬:‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Psalms 91:4 (NKJV) - He shall cover you with His feather | YouVersion

He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

Does God have wings and feathers? Is He going to give you a shield and a buckler to defend His truth?

 

[Apple Sky]

So who are you accusing of pushing vain babbling knowledge here?

NASA & the likes of.

Well in God's words it is.

 

[David Lamb]

NASA & the likes of.

So which people who work for NASA do you know so well that you feel able to accuse them of lying?
