If I was a creationist, I would say that I believe the bible is right, but that the bible doesn't go into detail about how trees functioned without the sun.
Fair enough.If I was a creationist, I would say that I believe the bible is right, but that the bible doesn't go into detail about how trees functioned without the sun.
Hello AVFair enough.
You defend It your way, and I'll defend It mine.
As I said, I don't know how many times I've been accused of "not thinking outside the box."
We either get "don't preach to me" or we're "sheeple."
You should stroll through this thread, started by our resident Mensan:
Does 'Goddidit' constitute an explanation?
Defence by way of contradiction is not particularly attractive.You defend It your way, and I'll defend It mine.
Discuss this with AV. He's better to tell you what is or isn't in the bible than me.Where does the Bible say that trees didn’t have sun?
But God is in the fortunate position of being unable to sin by definition. IOW whatever God does or commands is good - the alternative is that He is constrained by some greater and absolute objective moral code.Nonsense if we were made perfect in character as God is there would’ve never been a fall because Adam wouldn’t have been able to sin just as God cannot sin.
Yeah but, what is it that is unique to a person that causes them to choose to obey god or to make their own decisions (a.k.a. sin)?
Is it because some have an obedient soul and some have an independent soul?
.. or, (perhaps more consistently), by some thinking process which arrived at that definition.But God is in the fortunate position of being unable to sin by definition. IOW whatever God does or commands is good - the alternative is that He is constrained by some greater and absolute objective moral code.
I don't know the answers, I just provided that second bit to make my question clearer. It's hard to discuss this stuff when I don't have much grasp on biblical concepts.
That's not the problem.
If God is omnipotent, and thus already knows our futures, then how is our free choice even possible?
No worries, mostly this thread is going cordially.Ok fair enough I apologize if that comment came across a bit rude I should’ve probably exercised a bit more restraint on that one please forgive me.

SelfSim posed a very common philosophical question. I'm sure this is not the first time you have heard this question.Did you write the script or direct the last movie you watched?
Yet the 'goodness', which constrains God to not be capable of sin, means that he must be capable of visualing sins in the future, in order to not do that.No it’s just that different people make different choices and even the same people make different choices at different times. Best answer is probably that people are vastly diverse.
What about without the warmth from the sun?Well I’m assuming this is about the creation account which I’m not sure if the sun was created the first day or the fourth day but in any case if this is what the discussion was referring to I’m sure we can all agree that trees can survive for 24 hours without sunlight.
So they grew to be trees in darkness?Well I’m assuming this is about the creation account which I’m not sure if the sun was created the first day or the fourth day but in any case if this is what the discussion was referring to I’m sure we can all agree that trees can survive for 24 hours without sunlight.
What assumptions?
You have the distance across the brim you have the circumference of the pool with those two numbers you can derive the width of the brim by using simple algebra.
The diameter of the brim is 180”
The circumference of the pool is 540”
180x3.14=565.2 circumference of the brim
540 circumference of the pool
565.2-540=25.2 the difference in circumference between the pool and the brim
25.2/3.14=8the difference in diameter between the pool and the brim
8/2=4 the brim hangs over both sides so you have to divide the difference in diameter by 2
Now you know the pool has a 4” brim.
People are diverse yes, but what makes them diverse? What is the core of their decision making? Is it their soul? What is it that gets judged in heaven?No it’s just that different people make different choices and even the same people make different choices at different times. Best answer is probably that people are vastly diverse.
