Zone1 The Ten Commandments don't apply to us.

There were 8 humans that still had pure human DNA. The rest were hybrids.

Hybrids of what?

God created Adam and Eve. From them all humans descended...according to Genesis, that is.

 

[Bad Bob]

so a quote from a democrat would be equally problematic?

Correct. Regardless of politics or religion, the Constitution prevails. That's why I said "any particular religion or political party".

No. I think you and I are agreed that authorities showing favoritism to any particular religion or political party is a very bad idea if not unconstitutional.

So it was only a local flood where all the critters of the planet were not on the boat and not really killed? That certainly makes more sense.

Noah simply built a small boat for local domesticated critters, the valley flooded, he and his family survived. End of story. That's much more believable.

"Local" may not portray how great a flood it was. There are various places that obviously must have had/may have had a great flood in their past--great, but not a planetary event. Yes, Noah and his family survived, but obviously there must have been a large amount of deaths in the area where he had been living.

God taught the Jews the right way to do it.

Moses taught the people the right way to do it. And Moses said that after his death they would turn aside from THE WAY he taught to follow [the Law].

There is only one way to remove sin. That way is to accept the gift of the cross because that is where your sin was nailed, and forgotten by God.

Nonsense. The only way to remove sin which is disobedience to the Law is by complying with the Law in the Way Moses taught to follow the Law which was lost to time until Jesus came and renewed it, the only right WAY to comply with the Law that fulfills the promise of Life.

For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more By speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.

When Jesus came and revealed the only right WAY to understand the words and subjects of the Law that fulfills the promise of eternal life, what became obsolete was the talmud, what Jesus called "the traditions of men" that had rendered the purpose of the Law null and void.

The Law will never become obsolete, at least according to Jesus.

As Jesus said, "For as long as heaven and earth endure not a dot, not a stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until all that is to be accomplished is accomplished. Therefore anyone who sets aside even the least of these commands, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least in the kingdom of Heaven."

To understand what Jesus meant by saying LEAST in the kingdom of Heaven, see Gen 3:14.

Its an allegory

Just so you know, Blacks and Puerto Ricans have the least amount of Neanderthal DNA.

The rest are hybrids? Like you? lol. A nice factoid for all you white supremacists out there.

Hello!

¿Por quién diablos me ha tomado oiga usted, ficticia? ¿A qué viene ese maltrato sin justificación? Tenga mucho cuidado en su proceder, no me obligue a enseñarle lo que yo sé.

According to genesis the talking serpent, a human being, was already there along with many other trees, metaphors for teachers, whose fruit was pleasing to the eye and good to eat.

So no inspirational JFK quotes. No emancipation proclamation. Got it.

There are over 300 flood myths from every continent describing a mind boggling deluge.

The Burckle Crater, 25 times the size of meteor crater in Arizona, dated to the approximate time of the story of Gilgamesh, is under 12000 feet of water on the bottom of the Indian ocean. A meteor creating an impact crater this size would have instantly vaporized billions of metric tons of water into the atmosphere, causing mega tsunamis, and a mind boggling world wide deluge of superstorms etc., that would have lasted for weeks, sweeping away coastal cities and every town village and hamlet situated near rivers streams brooks and even dry washes in the desert ON EVERY CONTINENT.

 

[jacksonlamb]

Are you banning an employer from putting up a poster on the wall of the DOJ that says "justice, justice you should pursue"? But why shift the conversation to a "government office"?

OK. But why is that relevant to the posting of curricularly relevant material sourced from a religious text?

What if that guy used politics to make people's lives better but the account of it is in the Bible? Don't go fuse container for content.

Uotes and symbols are very different in certain ways.

No person has any constitutional right to intrude his religious "presence" and "preference" on any other person in a public space.

What particular god or religion did Lincoln or Kennedy throw into the public arena.

 

[rosends]

so you want "In God We Trust" stricken from currency and you want the pledge to go back to the original (no "under God"). No bibles in courthouses for oaths. No standing on a street corner and talking to someone about religion (that's a public space and a discussion about religion would include my preference). Is this what you envision?

 

[BreezeWood]

As long as it states it is Sharia Law, I have no problem with that at all. It can be among other faith posts.

and you are happy to post those laws and religious text in your church - they being fundamentally the same religion having identical preambles written in all three desert bibles.

A local flood or even regional doesn't matter as long as it was a natural phenomenon.

To claim God did it to punish mankind would be limiting God if it didn't kill off all people around the world.

 

[hobelim]

No bibles in courthouses for oaths.

Good idea!

Whats the purpose if a cop swears to tell the truth, hand on the Bible, only to lie his ass off?

You should read, The Fraternity: Lawyers and Judges in Collusion, written by former Arizona Superior Court and Court of Appeals judge John Fitzgerald Molloy. Its eye opening.

 

[BreezeWood]

Noah didn't collect the animals. God brought the creatures that he wanted saving to the ark.

you are a joke - the heavens would slaughter 99.99% of all life in their garden ... having committed no crimes for the purpose to eradicate evil within humanity.

another bible fallacy appealing to low i-q desert dwellers - to teach their destitute children about their phony religion.


does the constitution separate real from phony religions ... as indeed is the case concerning the interpretation for religious beliefs in support of controlled substances being their right to consume by religious belief alone.

Agreed about stories, but disagreed they are all myths...although their impact is most certainly exaggerated.

A meteor strike would certainly do it, either land or water. Water would cause floods, land would be something like Sodom and Gomorrah.

Same goes for an undersea earthquake as happened in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that killed almost a quarter million people in the region.

Since these tales were passed around the campfires for over 800 years, another theory might be the stories about the floods caused by the end of the last Ice Age 12,000 years ago.

In ancient times with high illiteracy rates, story tellers passed these tales to the village or tribe. It was a profession. The legend of King Arthur is one example. Although probably based in historical fact after the collapse of the Roman presence in England around 400 AD, the tale got stretched by the story tellers to heighten interest until it resembles the legend we know today.

That is not religious preference. We did not say "under God" in the pledge. An affirmation of oath works. The street preachers are run along.

Have your religious preference, just not in my space. I don't bother you, though give me five minutes and you would be agnostic inevitably forever.
