The Trinity was invented at the synod. Proto Christians believed in Jesus the son of man and that he was the prophesied messiah.I don't believe that.
Mark 2:7b who can forgive sins but God only?
Miracles usually don't.
Another theory I put forward, is that God could have just pushed His hand down into the sea and made the water rise.
Again though, it doesn't jive with the Documentation.
And that would go against the Documentation ... wouldn't it?Well I figure if you want to say it's a miracle it would make more sense to say that God just made the water appear from nowhere and then made it disappear the same way.
Technically ... and by the narrowest interpretation ... an atheist is one who says in his heart that there is no Godhead; i.e., Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Even polytheists, who would accept the Trinity on principle, but accept It as only a subset of a multiplicity of deities, would fall under the definition of "atheist," because they don't believe the Godhead as the Godhead has revealed Himself to us; i.e., as the one true God.
In a broader sense, and going by the Egyptian (worldly) Dictionary, an atheist is one who denies the existence of God, period.
And that would go against the Documentation ... wouldn't it?
In fact, in more ways than one.
Subduction Zone said:No, your definition of what an atheist is is wrong.
How can you deny something that does not exist?
Try again.
Exactly. An atheist is someone who lacks belief in god. And indeed, one of the original accusations against Christians, besides cannibalism, was that they were atheists.
Shhh! Christians get mad if you point out to them that they practice ritual cannibalism
So would hiding all evidence that there was ever a flood. It looks like you lose either way.
Only Catholics, is my understanding. The rest of them abandoned it not long after Martin Luther decided that his personal conscience was more important than the unity of Christendom. He had a lot to answer for, that young man.
It's not my definition, chief.No, your definition of what an atheist is is wrong.
What was hidden? if you tell your child to clean up his room, do you do it by telling him to "hide your toys"?So would hiding all evidence that there was ever a flood.
Nope ... it's hard to accuse Him of hiding the Flood, when He documented when He did it, where He did it, why He did it, how He did it, what order He did it in, how long it took Him to do it, and who the eyewitnesses were.It looks like you lose either way.

Science can take a hike; and for the record, I have a set of standards I go by that allow me to accept 95% of science's conclusions.It always puzzles me how much modern Christians (some of them, anyway) desperately desire science to confirm their narrative, despite the fact that they despise the results of science.
I believe you meant 'science is now the game in town'?I think it's a recognition that religion no longer has the same authority as it once did; that science is not the game in town; and that nothing can really be taken seriously unless it's confirmed by science.
I think this post is indicative of one of my beliefs, that the Tribulation period will consist of two religions going head-to-head: Christianity, led by Jesus Christ vs. Scientism, led by the Antichrist.After all, the difference between religion and science is that science works. It produces tangible results that improve lives, cure disease, treat the mad, increase the happiness and physical well-being of millions of people. Religion - well, not so much.
You have to believe that, in order to make yourself look right; and when "scientists" trample the word of God like that in order to look right, it's a sure shot we're on the right track.No, there is no documentation of what he did.

I don't know about geologic features, but I certainly can tell you what biological features would: Nephilim families.*
* Fallen angels = fathers; humans = mothers; giants = children.

Yes.Is the "Antichrist" a god?
