  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Then you'll understand if I take your approach of reality with a grain of salt.

But there are so many different translations of the Bible, and so many books and passages that were added, edited, removed... there wasn't even a coherent canon until 325 AD.

Have you ever read any of the Biblical Apocrypha? It was early church leaders who decided to leave it out but in my opinion it is potentially as valid as any other Scripture. Of course it's also been translated and altered a lot... but it's very interesting.

You think the millennium has started already? Also this completely ignored my point.
Okay, Strathos, I'm getting the feeling you're being obtuse on purpose.

Let's recap this conversation.

1. I was asked how Jesus will disprove evolution, when Satan shows it to be a perfectly viable piece of history; and I answered by saying that Jesus could possibly take us back in history to Genesis 1 and show us, Himself.

2. You (or someone) asked me that, if it was different than what I expected, would I blame it on Satan?

3. No ... I would not blame it on Satan, as Satan will be bound in the Bottomless Pit, and blaming him would be foolish.

There was a time when I was a "bible thumper" too, but the scales fell from my eyes, and the truth set me free.

I see by your user title who your saviour is; which jives with my th... er ... hypothesis that the Tribulation period will consist of Christianity vs. Scientism.

As my pastor once said, there are two ways a person can be 'born again:' by corruptible seed or by incorruptible.

1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

I can imagine Creationists getting a ride back in time.. compliments of the disembodied head of Charles Darwin... and actually seeing macro-evolution occurring over the millenia; and them hanging their heads in shame at all the time they wasted on their Holy War on science because they thought it went down differentially. So what.. its all just imagining.. like the ark built in New Jersey, and flood water wooshed over to Neptune and Adam speaking english and writing GEN 1 and 2, or the Anti-Christ proving abiogenesis and leading evil scientists on a bloody pogram against bible Christians.

You said "build a time machine" at first, not "let Jesus show you".

So let me bring it back to the core of the argument: If you could be taken back in time, via divine methods or otherwise, and be shown that the evolutionists were right all along, would that convince you you were wrong, or would you believe it was some sort of deception?

Nephilim families.
We already went over this with how the Bible is mostly a collection of stories that grew with the telling.

You claimed that Goliath had Nephilim blood in him. Do you stand by that statement? I say that Goliath was not a giant by any means and was just a tall warrior. Hmm, who can provide Biblical evidence to support their claims.

Can we please stop letting AV make this thread about himself and get back to the topic - What Would Falsify the Flood?

The current geological strata of the planet. The observable fossil distribution. The Grand Canyon. Take your pick. Pretty much any of a hundred different observations disproves/falsifies the Flood.

You mean you did. I don't agree with that. I believe the term you're referring to is called retrospective falsification; and I don't subscribe to it, as far as the Bible is concerned.
You claimed that Goliath had Nephilim blood in him. Do you stand by that statement?
Yes.

Numbers 13:33 And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.

Notice the giants in the land, well after the Flood?
I say that Goliath was not a giant by any means and was just a tall warrior.
If that's what you believe, I won't dispute it. Perhaps Goliath was still just a "small boy" at the time.
