Thanks RL

That's right, anything which cannot be stated to a certainty can always be inferred . . . a sine qua non of theology . . .

Deuteronomy 32:11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth[moveth] over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:

Which has what to do with either Genesis or evolution?

Let's make a contest of it and see how many "interpretations" we can make from Deut 32:11? Won't that be fun? We could then take and poll and see which one comes closest.

Closest to what, CI, RR's rambling, irrelevant fantasy world? Inimitable . . .

Lithe and limber critters, these biblethumpers, undeterred by any leap, no matter how prodigious.

Spiritual evolution...

Heck, set, you should know I wasn't serious. I was just trying to reinforce the fictional nature of the bible. It sure the heck isn't the word of god. How many interpretations are there supposed to be for this "holy" book?

We may hafta wait a bit for the judges' call on that leap, it appears they may be studying the replay and alternate angle shots.

Here is an example of the Bible where you can twist it to your liking. Bible thumpers have selected verses to interprete their prejudices for ages.
I like Christians but I have worries about the Bible Thumpers so below is forthose Thumpers.

Reference: King James Version

Isaiah 14:
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!
How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
13 For thou hast said in thine heart,
a) I will ascend into heaven,
b) I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:
c) I will sit also upon the mount of the Congregation, in the sides of the north:
14 d)I will ascend above the heights of the clouds:
e)I will be like the most High.

"But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch,..."
Note: The image of Jesus on the cross confirms it for there is no gravesite of him.

Jesus fits the descriptions of Lucifer almost to a T.
So is Jesus God or Lucifer?

talk72000,

How in the world do you get that Jesus fits the description of Lucifer? He may have some of the same physical characteristics but he sure has none of the spiritual ones.

Maybe that's the mystery; jesus, god and lucifer is one and the same.

Trust me, they aren't by any stretch of the imagination one and the same.

Understanding through faith, Satan was thrown out of heaven because he likend himself to be higher than God.
Jesus didn't do that. He washed the feet of his disciples, to show them how humble he was that they should be also.
Jesus gave all his glory to God John 6:29
He did not take credit for himself. John 7:16
Jesus openly rebuked Satan Mat 4:10
Jesus did not defile any of God's teachings
Mat 7:14-27
Jesus proclaimed the will of God Mat 18:14
The best one of all is Mat 19:17 Jesus said, "Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

So you see, if guided by the Holy Spirit, one finds the truth, but only through the blood of Christ one is able to do that.

Confusion of God's word is brought on by oneself through one's own lack of faith, it can't be blamed on any one else.

It is a waste of time to try and understand God's word without the guidance of the Holy Spirit, it is impossible.

Nonsense, from a logic perspective: In that each is an aspect embodied within a particular belief set, they share the attribute of being of that belief set, and thus, in that respect, are one.

I could go on.

Sorry Timber, I completely disagree. Satan and the Lord are complete opposites.

It's not a matter of disagreement. Satan and God are shown to be enemies throughout the bible. One good example is in the book of Job.
