Prove it. I say God is moving here forever, it will never end, just this present state it is in.I thought I had heard it all
How do you come up with such nonsense as this? The earth had a begining and it will have an end, as does the others you have mentioned.
Better slap that thing again, here it is from the bible.As for God moving here
Can you provide any kind of reference to back up your claim that plants could fully mature in just a few days?
Funny how you trust science to make your computer, the electricity that powers your home, nuclear power, x-rays and medical science - but dismiss radio-isotope dating because it gives the bible a hard time.
Interesting choice.dad said:
So are you trying to tell me that the bible contradicts itself? You do know that there is no Hebrew word that means forever right? Do you also know that Jonah refers to the time he spent in the whale as forever in the English translation right?
And you derive from this that God is moving here. Perhaps you should read the rest of the bible. John tells us that he who dwells in love dwells in God and God in him. It has nothing to do with a physical location.
My reasons are fairly well known on this forum, no use getting into all that here. The dating methods all are set to the same basic assumptions, so they must have the same time. Where it is different, they simply tweak it anyhow, in something called collaboration. (Setting it to the other clocks)
Yes, bible evidence. Plants were made just a few days before we and animals were made, and we ate them. Also Noah sent a bird out, -no tree. A week later, voila, a tree twig.
I do not mistrust science at all. Just the two bit fables posing as science, that run around crossing God, and bad mouthing the truths of the bible past and future. That shoddy little act should cease and desist.
Tell, us how, precisely does gravity work?!!! (Not what does it do, but how it works)
No worries, all will know, and every knee will bow. Those who survive into that golden age, likely will be honestly unaware, not deliberate liars.
That is no crime. The crime is to love darkness rather than light, not have a weak light at the start of their life. All should get their opportunity to hear about Jesus in a real way.
Absolutely. Dead wrong, bet your life on it. Thanks, I am a little busy to mop up the mess personally.
Return? Does that mean this is already the second thread you have made about this moot point?
No, why would I get that silly baseless lie?? You have neither science nor bible for it. The tooth fairy out ranks that one.
No, of course not. But why kill what is already done to recreate it?
How long is everlasting, then?? As for Jonah, as Jesus Personally confirmed, it was 3 days.
No, but one can understand what it means. This present universe, or heavens is all that will pass away. The surface of the earth gets burned just before the new heavens arrive, but the foundations of the earth are fine, thank you very much. They are forever. Really.
False, there is a spiritual, and physical location, called New Jerusalem. His throne is there, and so is He. Jesus prepared that place for us, and it has many mansions. A river of life, the tree of life, as Eden had, and all the same folks that lived right here on this forever earth!! It cannot be spiritualized away, it is absolute. It separates the sheep, from the goats, in the faith department.
Everlasting means without end. What we have is a poor translation where the original documents use a word that does nto mean ever lasting nor forever nor eternity yet have been translated as such and as a result many like you have the wrong idea as to what it means. The word generally specifies a period of time long in general but related to the object of the sentence. We see numerous examples throughout the bible where it can be a few days, years, centuries, eons. The thing that is totally clear is that it is not absolute and has no definite time in the word itself.
One, earth is part of the universe. If the universe passes away so does earth. Two, the bible explicitly states that the earth shall pass away and that a new earth shall be formed. Three, as already pointed out the word translated as forever does not in any case literally mean forever but when speaking of the earth does entail a great deal of time, billions of years to be sure.
Wrong, the entire book of revelation is symbolic and metaphor you err to take it literally as for the sheep and the goats they are not divided by blind belief in nonsese but rather by thier heart and if they have cared for thier fellow man when needed.
