Evolution? How?

In any discussion that begins with a premise of Biblical revelation, there can be no further debate. Its a waste of precious time on the planet.

Im gonna bail at this point. The topic of this thread has morphed into something with which I would rather not be associated. Theres science going on all around and quoting Bible verses is a personal revelation only. Its totally invalid as a device in logic. "It is debate by employing fortune cookie quotes"

It is, as often called, mumbo jumbo.

write when ya get work.
Rosborne, ci, set, wolf, Brandon, rap, eorl,e brown, Ill catch up on another thread , Im pulling the plug on updates here.

Logic...evolution is logical?

Logical:
1. Of, relating to, in accordance with, or of the nature of logic.
2. Based on earlier or otherwise known statements, events, or conditions; reasonable: Rain was a logical expectation, given the time of year.
3. Reasoning or capable of reasoning in a clear and consistent manner.

Actually, farmerman is right concerning his opinion about the absense of logic in quoting from the bible and attempting to talk about science. Mumbo jumbo describes it pretty well, and I'm checking out of this forum too! For farmerman, Rosborne, set, wolf, Brandon, rap, eorl and e brown, see you around in another forum where bible trumpeting doesn't drum out the science and logic.

Principles of biblical research

Before one even starts there has to be a belief that it is "The word of God" and is perfect. Scientifically accurate and mathematically precise. Not on the outside but on the inside.

So thus God has a meaning for every word where when and how he uses it.

Does this mean God has a purpose when the words are missing too?
Lots of the scripture is interpolated to make up for missing sections in the original documents. If it is PERFECT, then the missng words must be intentional. Why don't the scholars keep that in the translations?

How about the fact that the original Aramic has no word for wife? Shouldn't that have meaning? Doesn't it make it perfectly clear that God never intended for man to marry?

I believe the figure is hypokadistasis (spelling from memory) or emphasis by omission... This is used in the Bible many times. Missing words are usually intentional. There are many checks and balances in the word that demonstrate a clear picture of what spirituality is and how to utilize the spirit. The basics are evident in the Bible and the miscellaneous are there to speculate on... As to God wanting marriage or not... I believe that God wants love to conqueror hypocrisy... Sometimes that is marriage sometimes it is abstinence we learn the difference when we walk by the spirit and learn what it has to teach our own hearts and minds... Shall anyone compare to the virtue of God?

So God uses words for a purpose and doesn't use words for a purpose. But YOU get to decide what that purpose is. OK. Got it.

We can't argue with someone that is just RIGHT no matter what. I suggest that you are NOT God nor do you know the mind of God. You are just another confused sinner that is trying to justify his own sins by bastardizing the bible to his own purposes.

God.


Does God ever grow, learn, change or evolve?

Is there ANY thought process or movement of ideas
within God?

According to the bible, yes often.

According to logic, no never. It would negate being omniscient.

The other day a doctor friend of mine came over to visit... He was having a severe problem with his hand... Gout... He is a surgeon at the local emergency room and a dear friend... Well he could not even close his fingers together. His whole hand was swollen to almost twice it's size. All of his medications had failed and he was in pain... We were just talking over tea and suddenly I shared a part of myself that I had never really revealed to him before... I asked him If I could pray for his hand... He said, yes, and I took his hand in mine and closed my eyes and began to pray out loud but softly. I said, (Not in my exact words but my style of praying). God I want to thank you for my friends hand. I want to thank you for all of the internal parts to function properly. I want to thank you for the right nutrients and healing to restore this hand to it's perfect function. I thank you for this in the name of your wonderful son, our living lord and saviour Christ Jesus, Amen...

Well my friend called me up rather late that night and was so thankful for my having prayed for him... I was surprised... I felt that for a doctor who has seen so much trauma to recognize the power of prayer was such a beautiful thing to observe for myself... Needless to say, I saw his hand yesterday (a week later) and he thanked me again... he can now close his fingers and the gout has reversed itself. His skin looked like it had a bit of scaling from the fever subsiding... I rejoiced in God... this is first aid... When you ask God to show you things you will be amazed...

What the heck are you talking about? Where did I say that people have to listen to me? I listen to what the Bible says and, I did not write the book. I have said that people need to "study" the scriptures and let the scriptures interpret themselves... I also presented some principles on "how" to let the word "interpret itself"...

If you think you are right about something in the Bible then give me chapter and verse... I did not say that if words are missing then you only just listen to me, because only I know the truth...
