I suspect that I've accepted the validity of the one speaking to me way more than realized. When it comes to the Earth, I've also accepted the validity of what I see right in front of me. The Earth can not lie.

I suspect that I've accepted the validity of the one speaking to me way more than realized. When it comes to the Earth, I've also accepted the validity of what I see right in front of me. The Earth can not lie.You won't hear a thing if you can't accept the validity of the one speaking, will you?
It wouldn't matter if one person spoke to you, or a hundred, if you can't hear validity.
Where would you even get that word "prophet," if no deity ever existed?As long as con-men see gullible prey, there will be prophets.
Are you going to run away with your Earth then, when your Earth runs away from its Creator?I suspect that I've accepted the validity of the one speaking to me way more than realized.

Some are. Some are not.But they are based on various deities or supernatural events, are they not?
Who's calendar are we using?Let's set God and the supernatural aside for the point I'm making and tell me what year it is.
I just didCan't do it though, can you?
I know no such thing.That's because, in the back of your mind, you know God exists.
John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
And?When Gene Roddenberry created the Star Trek series, he didn't want to include any references to deities or religions.
The thing about gods is, they are useful.To his surprise, he found he couldn't do it.
Are you going to run away with your Earth then, when your Earth runs away from its Creator?
I suspect it's going to leave you in the dust.
I'm sure some creative scammer would invent the concept, and a word to describe it.Where would you even get that word "prophet," if no deity ever existed?
You do tend to believe the most absurd things, no matter what the evidence to the contrary.Only to a point.
I believe if they found evidence of Noah's flood, they would claim it occurred n-million years ago.
Thus heaping more coals on the fire for YECs and Embedded Agers.
Only if you find the most boring and prosaic things interesting.Interesting that the Grand Canyon was allegedly forged by the Colorado River 70 million years ago, but the Mississippi River, allegedly forged 40 million years ago, doesn't have a canyon.
I don't believe that.
That would be an amazing coincidence.
When did that "common era" start?
Without the birth of Jesus, there wouldn't be a consensus, would there?
Is it 2021 CE? 6025 CE? 300,000 CE?
I mean, some use Metric and some use Imperial?
So I'll ask:
What year would it be right now, if Jesus had never been born?
And since I doubt very seriously I'll get an honest straightforward answer, I'd say honest answers would include a variety of answers, based on the event being used for 1 CE.
I seriously doubt a valid answer would be recognizable among the more educated here.
Why do you need clarification?Who's calendar are we using?
I've heard that rumor before.You know that the Earth was formed by gravity, right?
Some are. Some are not.
Who's calendar are we using?
According the the calendar of the French Revolution. it's the 26th day of Germinal, in the year 230 of the Republic.
I just did
I know no such thing.
Larry 23:45 but, you wont be lifted up from the earth
And?
The thing about gods is, they are useful.
Ok... who is the "she" you are invoking?Then why will she run like a coward when her Creator shows up?
I sat on a great white throne this morning.Revelation 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Who's killed a lot of people? Who is this "she" you are invoking?She's killed a lot of people since her arrival, hasn't she? now she knows it's time to face the consequences, doesn't she?
Huh?1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.
Catch up, chief.3. Why do you ask the question "What year would it be right now, if Jesus had never been born"?
Why do you need clarification?
If you ask me what year it is ... or any 2nd grader ... you'd get 2021 without hesitation.
But take God out of the picture, and even adults won't tell me what year it is.
(But to their credit, I suspect they've never thought about it before; and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to come up with a consensus.)
