Evidently you don't seem to understand what gaslighting is because you are still doing it.I do very much deeply and sincerely apologize if you thought I was trying to gaslight you or some other thing, because that wasn't at all how I intended for it to be or mean, etc. And I never said you ever had to accept a literal anything, etc, but was just sharing my interpretations or beliefs, etc.
Are you sure your not just upset?
How was I trying to gaslight you, or flame you or goad you or anything, etc?
God Bless.
I'm just trying to have a conversation, etc. And I never said anyone had to accept a literal anything to be or not be anything at all either, etc.
But, whatever, just report me if you're really that upset, ok.
Later.
God Bless.
"Imply Christians who do not have a literalist view of the Bible are wannabe devil worshippers???"Evidently you don't seem to understand what gaslighting is because you are still doing it.
I am not going to report you nor anyone else who imply Christians who do not have literalist view of the Bible are wannabe devil worshippers, but the moderators who are watching this thread may have other ideas.
You are the one making the mistake of thinking I was referring to you."Imply Christians who do not have a literalist view of the Bible are wannabe devil worshippers???"
Now just where in the holy heck of anywhere did I ever say, or ever even imply a thing like that?
Are you sure you're not accidentally mistaking me for another poster?
Alright, we obviously got off on the wrong foot here somewhere @sjastro , so how do we get it back, etc?
God Bless.
Well, ok, but I'm not doing that to you, or science, or anyone right?You are the one making the mistake of thinking I was referring to you.
This is what I wrote "I am not going to report you nor anyone else who imply Christians who do not have literalist view of the Bible are wannabe devil worshippers....."
The sarcastic remark refers to those posters who have attacked individuals here who use science or believe in it as doing the works of satan.
Do a word search using "satan" in this thread and you will know who I am referring to.
I challenge any literalist to come forward and state disagreeing with Deuteronomy's description of rape laws and therefore the Bible is being a non Christian and ascribing to the works of the devil.
What is so complicated with the question you do not understand?What's your challenge again???
You want a literalist to come forward and disagree with what the Bible says?
Or are you saying you want a literalist to come forward and agree with what the Bible says?
Let's make it as simple as possible, I disagree with Deuteronomy 22 ff on the laws regarding the treatment of rape victims, does this make me a follower of satan?
I'm impressed in the number of errors you can make in a post of only five sentences.No it does not.
And for the record, I agree with those laws.
Does that make me a follower of Christ?
And furthermore, if you want to discuss Deuteronomy 28:22,ff with me, just start a thread on it, and I'll give you a deeper perspective.
(My interpretation, of course.)
I'm impressed in the number of errors you can make in a post of only five sentences.
(1) You do not answer a question with a question.
(2) The relevant text is Deuteronomy 22 ff not Deuteronomy 28:22,ff.
(3) You have a memory of a goldfish, you discussed Deuteronomy 22:22-25 here.
Nope, I'm not going to post, really, I'm not going to, I swear, really. (Neogaia tries really, really hard to just shut his mouth for the rest of the day, and just go to bed, because he's already ticked enough people off for one day, etc).
God Bless.
Nah, God's grace might be unlimited, but there is only so much of man's to go around for one day, and I think I'm already in the red for today, etc, so I'm gonna try to go to bed, cause tomorrow is another day to get back down into the red again, etc.You're fine.

So, Gnite.

There might not be any Bigfoot. But there are big feet.Its impossible to " debunk ( all of ) the
bible", and nobody tries to.
Who could debunk "Egypt"? A camel?
Just TRY to debunk a camel!
Theres real stuff in it.
Wouldn't debunking "flood" be the same as debunking a camel?Debunk "flood"?
Debunking is a verb meaning expose the falseness or hollowness of a myth, idea, or belief. If a scientist's goal is to debunk a global flood, there's something seriously wrong.Been done ten thousand
times over.
I don't think I said it did.ToE has nothung to do with that
though.
Why do you say that?Not that you would likely be curious and want
to know the hows and whys.
There are theoretical physicists that claim there's scientific evidence that we may one day be able to create a universe with life in a lab. Does that not qualify as intelligent design?I.D. at this point is pseudoscience.
MAYBE some day they will have a fact or two.
So far they have zero.
I assume you're talking about the Discovery Institute.People have tried to use it to force their
religious agenda into schools.
Why repeat the embolden statement when I simplified it for you in post #347, or was that beyond your level of comprehension as well?I'll assume that's a NO.
And I still don't know what you want.
You said this ...
I challenge any literalist to come forward and state disagreeing with Deuteronomy's description of rape laws and therefore the Bible is being a non Christian and ascribing to the works of the devil.
... and it's not even a proper sentence, and I can't make out what you're saying.
As to your Deuteronomy 22, ff not meaning Deuteronomy 28:22, ff ... are you meaning Deuteronomy chapters 22 and all the chapters following?
If so, forget it.
But if you're talking about those rape verses, I'll gladly accept your challenge.
Just start a thread on it and let's get to it and quit dancing in this one.

I don't feel qualified to discuss Old Testament law.
Some of them were done away with in this dispensation; some weren't.
These triangles you're bringing up are not my area of expertise.
Deuteronomy 22:22 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.
Looks consensual to me.
So if I was Moses, I would order both of them to die.
Deuteronomy 22:23 If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;
24 Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.
Verdict: Death; Reason: Consensual.
Deuteronomy 22:25 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:
Verdict: Death of the man, not the woman.
In today's dispensation, I don't know.
I'm for the death penalty for rapists; but adultery and fornication need a lesser punishment.
Do you have some point to make?There might not be any Bigfoot. But there are big feet.

I assume you're talking about the Discovery Institute.
They've actually made it clear that religion has no place in a public classroom, and evolution should not be removed from the public classroom, but rather use ID as a means of comparison, or possible alternative to TOE.
Neither aimed at the existence of God per se, or even at a particular God but at the theology associated with a particular set of God. believers.There's a political side of TOE that maintains science absolutely debunks the Bible. And that intelligent design is a religious political agenda.
They've had it made clear to them that their religion has no place in the classroom even when disguised as "Intelligent Design"I assume you're talking about the Discovery Institute.
