Zone1 Have we lost The Bible Story?

Why blame anyone? What purpose would that serve?

You talking about me or about God?

 

[ding]

I don't recall you ever defining 'faith' as a bias.

Why would I need to be so selective when discussing biases? Unless of course I was demonstrating a bias.

Word salad.

 

[ding]

You talking about me or about God?

I'm talking about the example you gave. Why would you need to blame anyone for the door not closing properly? Once you answer that, you can extrapolate that answer to other things.

 

[ding]

Word salad.

Not at all. If I am selective about bias I am literally demonstrating a bias. Whereas if I start from the position that the difference between subjective and objective is bias, I am in fact being objective about bias and not subjective about bias as you were when you tried to equate faith with bias.

Can you say, "short-sightedness". Perhaps study the Old Testament with a Rabbi.

In other words, let someone tell you what was really meant. Not what the words actually say!
Yall pull this crap every thread

Do you agree that for any given thing there will be people who are more talented at it than others? Isn't that the basis for accepting knowledge on the authority of others?

So you agree that God should not be judging me if I don't do everything properly. Thanks.

If that is so objective, why can't any of you agree on it?

More word salad

I generally try to avoid speaking for God. My question to you was why would you need to blame anyone for your door not properly closing. A question you seem to want to avoid answering. Unfortunately until you do answer it, I'm afraid you won't be able to learn anything from your desire to blame people for things.

It's not. If it were you'd be able to explain how it was just as I was able to explain how it wasn't.

 

[ding]

If that is so objective, why can't any of you agree on it?

Because of bias.

One problem is that most people limit themselves to only two choices, Seven-day creationism or evolution over millions of years. But just as there are political "Independents" there is a third alternative regarding the earth, Gap Theory.

Note that the narrator, speaking on behalf of Answers In Genesis, substitutes "perfect" for the Biblical "very good". A quick look at the Hebrew dictionary reveals that these are two different adjectives with different meanings. In other words, the narrator is interpreting the passage through the 'lense' of Answers In Genesis, not the Bible.

The article also points to 'soft tissue' in dinosaur bones as evidence of recent death as opposed to death 60 million years ago. However, it is possible that dinosaurs were killed in a flood that happened as recently as 50,000 years ago or less as God restructured the ecology of the surface of the earth as a suitable habitat for modern man; Adam and Eve, and us.

Your answers that are invented by one of the Christian churches just makes it even more confused and complicated. And the 50,000 years bit is contradicting modern science.

This is the reason why the Catholic church has attempted to present answers that agree with science. Specifically, pronounding that their god allows various different interpretations.

And church that doesn't allow free though on the issues such as the 'big fish' and Jonah, is on a road to big troubles.

The Catholics' way out isn't perfect by a long shot but it's better than believing in the 'big fish' story and ending up walking down that road kicking rocks!

Failing to make a reservation for dinner is "short-sightedness", killing everyone and everything in Jericho or killing 70,000 innocent people for the sins of David, that is genocide in my book.

Short sightedness is only looking at things which confirms one's biases.

You say biases, I'd say 'faith': Short sightedness is only looking at things which confirms one's faith.

Biases are biases. I made no distinction. You did. Which one of us was biased?

I don't recall you ever defining 'faith' as a bias.

Why would I need to be so selective when discussing biases? Unless of course I was demonstrating a bias.

Word salad.

In context of course, that means what they have done here is forgotten. Read verse 6

Also, do you discount everything Jesus Himself said about Hell? Lazarus and the rich man?

Verse 6 reinforces verse 5.

Lazarus was awaiting the resurrection as was the rich man. Neither faced final judgment yet.

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment":

Ecclesiastes 9:5 is shadow of eternal death as well as mortal death.

Because of bias.

I'm sure all disagreeing parties say that about everyone but themselves.

 

[TNHarley]

If that is so objective, why can't any of you agree on it?

I have no problems with it.
Im not the one that has to make things up to justify the silly beliefs.

That's what all of you say, after looking at the same text.

It's hard for an observer to conclude anything at all, except for all of you being wrong.

No it isnt.
