Dredge, you ask if my Biblical interpretations are always
correct. No one is infallible. Catholics claim that the Pope is always infallible whendictating church doctrines. Furthermore, the RCC is adamant in that the Church haspriority over the Bible. When one accepts this premise one depends on othersto tell them what is and is not acceptable to God. And, they have no scripture to verify or annul what they are told. My church has opened my eyes to God's plan forhumans, but I always search the scripture in order to prove or disprove whether they are right or not. God gave us His 10 Commandments. They were engravedon stone to show their permanence. Jesus says in John 14:15 "If you love me, keep myCommandments." 1 John 5:3 "For this is the love of God, that we keep HisCommandments: and His Commandments are not grievous." Revelation 14:12 "Here is the patience of the saints:here are they tha/ keep the Commandments of God..." Revelation 22:14 "Blessed are theythat do HisCommandments, that they may have right to the tree of life..." Speaking of the 10 Commandments in Deuteronomy 6:8,God states "And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontiers between thine eyes." This is repeated in Deuteronomy 11:18. We accept God's Holy Commandments with our mind,and we obey them with our hands. We shake on it. We honor God's Commandments because we love Him,and we worship Him. Those that worship the beast and its image also accepthis authority with their mind, and they obey with their hands. Those who worship this false religious system receive amark in their hand and/or mind. The RCC deleted God's 2nd Commandment which states: "Thou shall make unto thee any graven image, or anylikeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath...thou shall not bow down to them." The RCC worship images, and they bow down to them.They also worship relics (bones of supposedly dead saints). They replaced the Sabbath with "Remember to keep Holythe Lord's Day." In order to still have 10 Commandments, the RCC dividedThe 10th. 9.Do not covertly thy neighbor's wife.10. Do not covet thy neighbor's goods. The RCC thinks to change times and laws.

Pollux, there are a number of differences between my
beliefs and those of the SDA. I do not know how old the earth is, neither does anyoneelse. Satan sat on the throne of earth before the week longrenewal in Genesis. How long Satan was here before he rebelled? The Bibleis silent about this. I am not trying to bring members into the Church that Iam a member off.

Dwise 1, I do read articles from both sides. A well
rounded individual will do this. You can lay out articles day after day; month aftermonths; and, year after year, but dating methods rely on assumptions. And, assuming something is not science; it is guesswork. It is impossible to determine what the atmosphere waslike 5000 years ago. It is impossible to determine what the atmosphere waslike prior to the global flood. Do you have the slightest idea how much carbon wasremoved from the atmosphere and buried during and after the flood? I am not the one with the blinders on here, Dwise 1.You are.

Nwr, the wrong assumption can lead to wrong conclusions.
The look of quicksand can be quite deceptive. A footstepping into quicksand can become entangled. Or a foot stepping on a rattlesnake under a pile of leavescan cost a person his life. I do not have an issue with someone stating that theybelieve in evolution, or that they have confidence in dating methods. Just don't try to pass it off as being fact. And don't saythat those who do not believe in these issues do not support science.

Nwr, there is no way to test past conditions on earth. Period.
Even if we lay assumptions aside, we cannot get past theabsence of transitional fossils. Nor, can we get around the fact that never has life been observed coming from non-life. If I did not want to believe in the God of creation, I wouldstill have no other choice. I am not a big enough fool to believe in an evolutionaryconcept that is filled with more holes than Swiss cheese.

Ringo, you say that Swiss cheese is not defined by the
holes in it; it is defined by the cheese. Evolutionists view evolution in the same way that theysee Swiss cheese. They ignore all of the holes that exist in both. You can talk all you want, but talk doesn't producetransitional fossils. They don't exist. And, you know they don't. If evolution were true, we would have tens, perhapshundreds, of millions of transitional fossils. Even Darwin who laugh at his own concept if heknew what we know today. Even the simple single cell organisms are morecomplicated and complex than the most modern factories. Evolution is impossible.

Porkncheese, Hebrews 7 records the person called
Melchisedec. He was the King of righteousness. The High Priest of Salem (Jerusalem). Abraham paid one tenth of all he owned (tithe) toMelchisedec. Melchisedec was without father, without mother,without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life. Verse 3. Melchisedec is the same God Being as the Word inJohn 1:1-3, 10, 14. It should be perfectly clear to anyone with a decentdegree of reading comprehension that the Word in John is not only with God, but is God. There has existed from eternity two God Beings. The Savior that we know as Jesus was, before He wasborn of a virgin, known as the Word, as well as Melchisedec. The two God Beings want a family of other God Beings. The Word lay His Devine Essence aside and allowedHimself to be born a man. This is when the Father and Son relationship began. Jesus was aware of His past with God the Father. Forover 33 years these two God Beings, who had always been together, were separated. John 1:3, Ephesians 3:9, and Collosians 1:16 state withwith absolute clarity that Jesus, as the Word, created all things. And, that without Him not anything was made. The Wordwas not created. He was the Creator. The God Being known as the Father is the undisputedleader of the Two. He always has been, and always will be. Jesus, as our Creator, is worth more than all of us. And,only His life could atone for our sins. As a man had Jesus sinned humans would remain deadfor all eternity Satan, as current ruler of this world, was well aware thatJesus could sin. This is why he tempted Him so vigorously. In Revelations 22:13, Jesus said "I am Alpha and Omega,the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Jesus forgave sin. He allowed others to worship Him(Matthew 8:2; 9:18; 14:33; & Mark 5:6. The 2nd Commandment forbade worship to anyoneother than God. Only God had authority to do such.

Dwise 1, read over your reply to me. You offer proof of
nothing. You sound a lot like Jeff Goldbloom in Jurrasic Park:"Life will find a way." It might sound informative, but it means nothing. My point with the single cell organism is that it is fartoo complex to have spontaneously sprang into existence. And it had to appear just as it is. Irreducible complexity. These scientists pushing this load of crap cannotduplicate this feat, even with their intelligence. Yet, they want us to accept their word that blind andunguided evolution did this.

Phat, Satan gains many more subjects by concealing his
existence. If people were absolutely convinced that Satan exists, theywould then be convinced that God exists. Satan could prove his existence without much difficulty,but then we would have no evolutionists; no agnostics; and, no atheists to turn people away from God. A hunter conceals himself from the hunted. The Hollywood elite, top musicians, politicians (from allparties and countries), captains of industries, etc... are all required to pay homage to Satan if they want fame, wealth, and power during this present age. Hundreds of celebrities have admitted to sellingthemselves to Satan. But people don't believe them. "Eyes wide shut." These people are some of the most depraved peopleon earth. They are required to corrupt the minds of the rest of us, especially the young. Satan's highest ranking demons actually possessmany of them. Humans have an awesome opportunity that Satannever had. We can actually become members of the God family. Satan hates us for this, with a hate than cannot beequaled. Don't ever think that Satan doesn't have a throne orsubjects. He is the ultimate deceiver. It does not matter to him whether the average person believes that he exists or not, as long as they do not place their trust in God. He knows what his end will be. He wants to bring asmany down with him as possible.

Pollux, you should sue your parents for mentally abusing
you and warping your fragile little mind. Under Trump America was exporting oil. When he leftoffice I was paying $1.60 a gallon. Our border was secure. This idiot now in office hasallowed 2,000,000 illegal immigrants into our country in less than two years. Under Trump we lived in relative peace. Under this idiotAmerica has become a laughing stock. Under Trump America had its lowest unemploymentamong Blacks, Hispanics, and women in decades. Neither Biden nor Harris are capable of speaking asingle coherent sentence. Liberals are having gay burlesque shows in gradeschools. They are also mutilating twelve and thirteen year oldkids. These young boys are being castrated and younggirls are having their breasts cut off. They are force fed hormone blockers, and infused with hormones from the opposite sex. Can you imagine a political party (Democrats) soutterly incompetent that they don't know the differences between males and females. I could go on and on about the perversions associatedwith Liberalism, but you love these perversions. No one with your warped view of life has any businessspeculating on the age of the earth. For you to do so is laughable. At least it would be if it weren't so serious. In any event, I honestly think that you should sue yourparent.

Pollux, it is not difficult to determine the sex of someone.
In a very few instances the sex might not be apparent, but this is not what we are talking about. In some instances a female might not be capable ofgiving birth, nor a male of impregnating a female. However there has never been an individual who has thecapability to both get pregnant and impregnate another individual. If one can impregnate another person then that person isa male. If an individual can get pregnant then that person is afemale. A person who struggles with this issue needs help. Thatindividual needs psychological help. They need help in the same way that an individual whostruggles with anorexia or bulimia needs help. Who would dare tell a 75 pound anorexic that she shouldjust go with this perception of herself? It is this whole Godless attitude of the left that Iabhor. They think that as soon as a baby's head comesthrough the birth canal that it is still acceptable to crush her precious little head. Obama and some other Liberals are in favor ofallowing abortions (murders) up until 28 days after birth. These same perverts agree that if a baby survivesan abortion attempt that it should be placed in a back room and allowed to slowly die all alone. Many times a baby has been heard squealing in painas they are being scrambled in their mother's womb. The reason that the Conservatives on the High Courttook up the abortion issue is that it was getting completely out of hand. I am not saying that all Consrrvatives are good,righteous people, but it is the Progressives who push these evil agendas. I dare anyone to look at pictures of these tiny murderedbabies, with their little limbs ripped off, as well as their heads, and not feel deep remorse and compassion in their hearts. One can say that he loves God, but one cannotdistance oneself from one's vote.

Tanyptery, there is no reason for you to be so ignorant
about what is happening. Take those unfeeling dead eyes that you pretend to seethrough and look at the butchered babies. Look them up! The Liberals are slobbering all over themselves hopingthat their slaughter of the most helpless among us doesn't come to an end.

Nwr, are you saying that God despises those who try to
protect innocent life? There is no cult worse, nor even close, to that of theLiberal, Progressive Democrats. And stop pretending that you know what a Christian is.t's comical.

Tanyptery, I am used to Liberal Democrats behaving
like third graders and resorting to name calling. Here is just one sight: The case against abortion: abortion pictures. Your vote supports this.

Nwr, I don't make false accusations, that would be a
violation of the 9th Commandment. Thou shall not bear false witness. Progressives are more hard-core and determined inin their pursuit of Liberal policies.
