Re: Metaphors in Genesis
he transformed himself into a snake so that he would appear tactful to eve since she knew the nature of snakes.
What was the nature of snakes pre-fall?

Othersfor example Baruch Spinoza and Albert Einsteinconsidered God to be essentially the sum total of the physical laws which describe the universe. I do not know of any compelling evidence for anthropomorphic patriarchs controlling human destiny from some hidden celestial vantage point, but it would be madness to deny the existence of physical laws."

God warned for those who are Atheism....
My god, the REAL god, the one true Holy One, The FSM, warned against idiots.
You alone prove the existence of His Noodley Holiness.

So, since Harry is a real name, we can conclude from that all of the events in Harry Potter actually happened? What an astounding basis for evidence you have. And you are a cop??????
If I tell you that there are rocks on the ocean floor, and you find them, you will then believe me that there are also humans that live down there that breathe in dirt and poop gold? I mean, I already proved that there are rocks down there, right?

There is already a thread started, Evidence for the Biblical Record, I personally have invited you thrice since you have now made about 5 claims of "proof" and "evidence" for the bible. You keep making unsubstantiated claims. Your true creationist colors are showing.

Re: Why & how did Jesus have to die for our sins?
40 god damned posts and you STILL refuse to use the coding provided. You have been shown numerous times. I was hoping you were gone, never to return. Your posts read like a jumbled mess of dog shit. Get right or go home.

Re: Why & how did Jesus have to die for our sins?
So the OT has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with christianity?
Matthew 17 writes:
17"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
I think jeebus disagrees with you.

Re: Why & how did Jesus have to die for our sins?
Me thinks you don't have any idea what Jesus agrees with or does not agree with.
Well, I think you just make shit up and re-word the babble to suit your needs. See? I can make assertions too.

Re: Why & how did Jesus have to die for our sins?
LEARN HOW TO QUOTE PROPERLY MORON
If God is real, and knows all, then it should be in our best interests to follow his view of morality, correct?
Yea, I've got a few babies laying around to slam against rocks. I just need to get some slaves so I can be moral like god.
Remember, the main reason the tree of knowledge of good and evil was put there was to test Satan, who at the time was a high ranking angel in heaven.
Say what? Surely you have some scripture you can back this up with......By your logic, god cannot be omnipotent then, huh?
Also Noah lived 350 years after the flood, so he would have been around to teach and tell the stories. Also before the flood, the bible says that God found righteousness in Noahs generations. If they were not Christian, God would not have seen them as righteous.
I find that as perplexing as you do, Theodoric.

Re: Why & how did Jesus have to die for our sins?
Read the bible. God knew in advance Satan was jealous of God. he created the tree to expose him to the Angels. Like I said before, God is just, and would not punish Satan for a crime he didn't commit.
I don't believe that is anywhere in the bible.
And God freed people from slavery in the Bible. The only times God alowed his people to be enslaved was when they did not obey him, and he always freed them after.
Wow oh Wow. So this is how you justify slavery? So I guess how we* enslaved the africans is OK since we* let them go later on, right?
*By "we" I mean americans
