Summations Only

Like creationism. I was just looking at a thread called Show me why Sunday is the day. You might be interested.

Just out of curiosity, how do you know what the "first day" of the creation week was?I can see how an extremely loose interpretation of the Old Testament could give Bishop Usher the year but how could he get it down to the month, day and even the hour? (I know there's a lot of woulda-colulda-shoulda nonsense about equinoxes, etc. but the Bible doesn't support any of that.)It seems to me that there are vast gaps in continuity that make if impossible to say with any confidence what day is THE sabbath in the present.

So show us the records from the year 4004 B.C.E.
​ Jesus was Jewish. He obviously kept the Sabbath (Saturday). The question is, How did HE know that the Jews were keeping the "right" day? Where are the records going back to the year 4004 B.C.E.?

It certainly does not. "Christ" has nothing to do with it.

Interesting article.

Do you and Phat get your bumper-stickers at the same store?

And you don't understand what assumptions are.When we put a satellite in orbit, we assume that the earth is round. That's not just a wild guess. It's a well-established fact. It is important to keep it in mind when we launch a satellite but it is NOT in doubt. Don't be silly. You don't use that standard for anything else. Have you ever heard what the carpenters say? "Measure twice, cut once." They measure twice because ANY measurement can be wrong. They measure twice to make sure there was no mistake in the first measurement. You don't hear a carpenter say, "I'm sorry, we can't build your house because the measurements are unreliable."And radiometric dating is also done repeatedly on multiple samples for the same reason.

I think that ship sailed on May 8, 1945. A more obvious choice for the (entirely fictional) "beast" is a Reagan or a Trump.

Bingo. The Bible contradicts itself. You should have learned that on page one.

You've never heard any Catholic use the phrase, "Hail Mary"?

quote:

---

Hail, Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Sounds a bit worshipful to me.

That's a new one on me. It's my second favorite name now, after Cornucopia.

Did you memorize Hal Lindsey?Here's another book you might like: Apocalypse Next. It's a virtual clone of The Late Great Planet Earth.Be sure to avoid this one: Apoclypse Not. The subtitle is "Everything You Know About 2012, Nostradamus and the Rapture Is Wrong".

Not much of a Defense Attorney. He never gets anybody off, does He?And you left out Executioner.Your analogy reminds me of one of those hillbilly small-town speed traps.

What kind of test do you think there should be?

No. The fact that YOU can't come up with a test doesn't mean anything. It does suggest that you haven't put any thought or research into it.The test is fitting it into the nested hierarchy of all living things. If it fits, that demonstrates relationships to the other organisms that it fits between.If, on the other hand, you try to fit a winged horse into the nested hierarchy, you'll notice that there are no vertebrates with six limbs. You should laugh less. It just exposes your ignorance.
