Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" away?

In a sense, yes. The star light from the galaxies are millions of light years away. Most of them you would need to see from telescopes. If it contradicts the Bible, then it's proof that the Bible is incorrect.

Why are you here?

Is English your first language? I ask because these two sentences don't make sense:

...The star light from the galaxies are millions of light years away. Most of them you would need to see from telescopes...

No, you've got it backwards. Anything that contradicts the Bible is incorrect. If I observe something that seems to contradict the Bible, I will believe God's Word over my eyes every single time.

2nd Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Glory!

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" aw

What kind of logic is this. Light is either on or off.

Oh honey, you tried...the think your thinking of is a light switch, and the Universe doesn't have on of those. The light stays on.

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" aw

Light does don't travel. That is just silly. I cannot put light in my car and drive it somewhere and then release it.

Oh honey....its called a push button night light....you could release it into the wild. But only if you want too. If you do though, make sure you teach it how to fish because then it'll learn to survive on its own.

That sounds like the so called biggest bang: where God said 'let there be light'.

Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" aw

I stand corrected on the judgement front. I apologise for my ignorance there. I still feel it is rather a pretentious thing to do but as you take guidance from the Bible and it says it's alright then it's not my place to contest.

And I don't believe it would be twisting God's words to turn science to reflect the Bible. There have been many great scientists who have discovered many great things and when questioned on the conflict between science and religion they have said that they are only discovering the workings of His creation. Many Big Bang theorists say that only God could have initiated that first spark that created the Big Bang as there was nothing before and, it is my personal belief, that it is still a literal interpretation of the Bible to say that God created Man through evolution as eventually the apes etcetera came to be mankind. He could have guided it that way too. Though, I understand that the theory of evolution contradicts the Bible on the issue of timescale as well but I present it only as an example.

Fence-sitter or not, I was raised Christian (Anglican) but I had too many issues with the Bible to put my faith into it and live my life by it. I don't rule out God etcetera. I merely doubt the authenticity of a book written, published and distributed by man. Thank you for the replies. May your God bless you. :-)

Do not apologize for being correct sir. He who is who is without sin cast the first stone. Meaning that all these people who are judging people like us, are in fact doing more harm than good, and are in fact sinning. So as jesus said, Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you. These "christians" obviously completely disregard Jesus' teachings.

God never made a retraction.
The simple reality is that everything is exactly as defined in the Bible. There has not been any other books about it because, it would be pointless. How many numbers do you have on the curb in front of your house identifying it? Just one, any more would be simply redundant and pointless.

Do you know why 'scientists' had been compelled to 'invent' all this hokum about the speed of light, planets, stars, gravity and on and on and on? Jealousy. Pure and simple.
James 3:16
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

James 3:14-15
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

Re: How can we see stars if they are "millions of light years" aw

Here at the Landover Christian University Research Department, we pride ourselves (in a Godly and modest way) on our open-mindedness. We look at the Words of God in The Bible (KJV1611) and look for evidence, any evidence, however unlikely, that confirms The Bible to be true. This is known as the Biblical Definitive Scientific Method (BDSM).

BDSM is the practice of choice among all of those in the Department, no matter how painstaking it has to be.

As far as the stars are concerned, we may dismiss NASA’s (National Association of Satanists and Abominations) view that there are 10^21 stars of biblical size. Were this true, no matter how dim the stars were, the night-time firmament would glow with a brilliance akin only to God’s Breath!

The stars are therefore about 500 in number, small, near the earth and made of burning coal. The sun, which is considerably larger that all the stars together orbits the earth between the earth and those stars. The Sun is accurately described in this post http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showp...57&postcount=1 as being about 500 miles away.

This surprises many people who are not “into” BDSM but the rigor of this study cannot easily be discounted.

How do you know God said "Let there be light"?

Do you see light in the daytime? Who do you think did that? Some smart-aleck joo like Einstein or Darwin?

IT WAS GOD. He said it because He did it, like everything else.

1. The judging issue: The Most MISUNDERSTOOD Passage in All the Bible

2. The "do unto others" issue: it is relative - masochists want to feel pain, so they should inflict pain unto others, etc.

3. Try to show me with the Bible, that any of the True Christians is disregarding Jesus' teachings. Do not post anything until you find the evidence
