Re: How White is Jesus?

It is not an interpretation. The orthodox are idolators. The Bible is against idolatry. Therefore, the Bible says the orthodox are not Christian.

There's no interpretation involved.

Ok,I see your point.

I don't see the word Orthodox Catholic, so this is a interpretation then.

Re: How White is Jesus?

Didymus is an atheist. I see you are, too.

Atheists,at least the ones I know don't defend God, or any religion. But this is what he seems to be doing. Have you seen me defend God? No,you haven't.

What "church" said the Bible shouldn't be taken literally? The Catholic Cult? They're Hellbound idolators who think their "pope" can speak for God.

Yes,the Catholic Church is one. I'm surprised that you have this view looking at all of what they have done in the name of God. Can you edify me on this matter? What is the difference between the Pope, and a pastor/preacher? They both seems to be speaking for God.

Why would I need "speculation and supposition"?

I don't think I said this to you.

The Bible makes it clear that when God made the earth, there was a firmament above it, and waters above the firmament. Then, when it was time for the Flood, He opened windows in the firmament and let the water flow down to drown all the people, and babies, and bunnies, and bees, and puppy dogs.

Where's the speculation there?

There is none, but there is another interpretation of this. One that I know you will not agree with so I would mention it. What I think you are doing is responding to a post I made to another member. Can't he defend himself?

Really? OK, show that it could not have happened.

Take care in your explanation to include plate tectonics, including uplift and deformation of the crust from the weight of concentrated water, as one would see if a sudden deluge covered the planet and then began deforming the crust through its massive weight, uplifting certain areas and compressing others.

Ok, now I see. You are taking up his fight. I really don't have to go that deep,but what I do need is the numbers you want me to use for the dimensions of the Ark,the number of species there are/were, and which flood story are we going to use. (Genesis Chapter 7 verse 17) or (Genesis Chapter 7 verse 24)


The reason I want you to supply them so the claim I used bad data in my calculations. And one last question,are we going to be addressing ships ballast systems and operations?

Re: How White is Jesus?

Are you being pedantic?

Never.

The Orthodox Word says he did.

Why should I care what an orthodox church member thinks? I care about what God wants me to do, and to that end I read the Holy Bible, King James Version.

Are you saying they are wrong, and you are right?

The LORD Himself is very clear that orthodox cathlics are not Christians.

Re: How White is Jesus?

If this is the case,why does this site object to people coming here ant saying that you have it all wrong. Aren't you doing yourself a disservice by holding on to beliefs that even the church itself has said should not be taken literally?

Didymus is an atheist. I see you are, too.

What "church" said the Bible shouldn't be taken literally? The Catholic Cult? They're Hellbound idolators who think their "pope" can speak for God.

If you stuck to the facts about Noah's flood,you personally would have to rely on speculation and supposition to explain it.

Where's the speculation there?

Where as I would use math and physics, something that is real and provable to show where it could not have happen.

Because these people do not have it all wrong. They are the most Biblically accurate Christians I have ever come across.

... Aren't you doing yourself a disservice by holding on to beliefs that even the church itself has said should not be taken literally?...

Which church would that be? Please, do not say Roman Catholic. With the amount of their BS that directly contradicts the Bible they have no claim to name "Christian" to begin with.

...If you stuck to the facts about Noah's flood,...

And just what would those "facts" be?

...you personally would have to rely on speculation and supposition to explain it. Where as I would use math and physics, something that is real and provable to show where it could not have happen...

Logic, science and "proof" all go out the window quite easily when someone says, "God did it".

...So lets not be hypocritical.

I'll hold you to that. You're welcome to do the same for me.

Re: Following the advice of the Rev.

Noticed I said "one of the most" inheritances. I meant this to be inclusive,but I purposely left the ambiguity in there to see how it would be interpreted. I see some vindication of my reason to do so in your numbers. Why are the number of Jews in the thousands, and the rest is in the millions? I think I know why, but I rather you tell me.

I have no idea. I guess I could have said, "over a quarter million" like I said, "half a million for France." I also combined the British and American losses into 1 million, when I could have said, "half a million each."

It's purely semantics.

How is it that you know your testament if you don't believe in Jesus?

Re: Following the advice of the Rev.

It also started those inhumanities. 20 million Russians, 20 million Chinese, 8 million Germans, 3 million Dutch West Indies, half a million French, 1 million French Indo Chinese, 2 million Indians, 3 million Japanese, 5 million Poles, 1 million Romanians, 1 million Yugoslavs, 1 million combined U.S. and British losses, 300,000 Jews.

Tragedy indeed.

Re: How White is Jesus?

I'm confused. Where do you read how close Jesus was to the tomb?

Are you being pedantic? I can use this same line of reasoning with many assertions that is said on this site. This is why I posted the most evidence concerning this subject,I knew that some one was going to take this path.

Lazarus came to Jesus after his decomposed body was miraculously regenerated

I'm confused, how far did Lazarus have to walk to get to Jesus?

The Orthodox Word says he did.

http://orthodoxword.wordpress.com/2010/03/27/the-rising-of-lazarus-a-symbol-of-our-future-resurrection-the-tomb-of-lazarus-from-bethany-and-the-church-dedicated-to-the-saint-from-cyprus/

Before entering the tomb, He prayed to the Father than He called Lazarus out.

Lazarus came out of the grave as he had been buried: clothed in shroud and with his face covered in veil.

Are you saying they are wrong, and you are right?

(or whatever it was the LORD did to replace billions of decomposed cells, restoring the bacterial fauna that contributes to things like digestive health, etc).

I Have no idea what this has to do with distance.
