Christianity under fire!

[PostmodernProphet]

Just like the argument that God could have created more water for the flood and then made it disappear again after. That is not proof. That is wild supposition.

there is, however, no requirement that the Himalyas be under water.......it would only have been necessary for the water to be higher than the land near people......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

Any of the stories in which the sun stopped moving across the sky.

again, so you can't find it credible that a deity that could create time would be able to make it appear to stop without cracking a few eggs?......

And a requirement for two of every land animal to be loaded on a boat. Species on other continents survived.

I understand that the legends probably came from local floods. But the Bible does specifically say that God destroyed every living thing outside the ark. To claim that is historically accurate is to ignore reality.

Mainly I don't see God doing something so profound to enable a continuation of the killing.

If a god could make time stand still, why didnt he just slaughter the Amorites himself? Mythos, and nothing more.

You can't pray to the Christian God, but you certainly can take an oath on his holy book? I'm sorry, but that isn't logical.

It's called an affirmation and is quite normal.

Who is coming for me??

THEM!! They are coming. The atheists, the communists, the illegal immigrants, the catholics, the moslems and ... the DEMOCRATS. Quick run and hide, run and hide.

You don't contribute to this one, why should we expect you to contribute to anything

You may think as you wish.

But, that isn't what the Bible says, now is it!

When do you think this happened?

The flood myth from several religions and cultures in the area likely came from the Black sea reflooding after an ice age.

are you figuring two canines or two dachshunds, two St. Bernards, two Border Collies, etc.......

why not?.....

Because Israel has a role in the story.......

 

[PostmodernProphet]

But, that isn't what the Bible says, now is it!

perhaps you can find me a passage that says the Himalyas were under water......I am not familiar with it.....

 

[PostmodernProphet]

When do you think this happened?

after Cain killed Abel, before the Tower of Babel.....

 

[Phantasmal]

are you figuring two canines or two dachshunds, two St. Bernards, two Border Collies, etc.......

Nope two dogs, although all dogs can be traced back to four kinds, but no, just to dogs, two tigers, two koalas, still not possible. The food alone wouldnt be manageable, the waste, water, etc. One small window on the whole ark! Can you imagine!

I had one imaginative lad tell me they even had dinosaurs! And that to manage the waste, food, water, and aggression between species that God put all of them in a suspended state. Amazing!

Yeah, exactly...but it is mythos, there may be a sliver of truth in the legend, but like all hero epics it is mostly exaggeration.
