Creation

If you had simply said that, we would have an argument instead of folks laughing when you post. On the other hand, you admit that Moses had words for persons, places, and things, so I suggest that you would still have lost the argument. Great idea. Best one you've had this thread.

Hi Tangle, How many people do you know who have been married to the same woman they first married for 60 years?

Both my own parents and my wife's parents were married for over 60 years.You realise that had I personally known no-one it still wouldn't be a miracle?

It only takes one untruth to prevent the whole Bible from being true. Truth is correspondence with reality. Probably not. If the Bible tells a story about a flood which we can prove is untrue, why would we trust it on other topics that can't be proven one way or the other?

I gave you an example in Message 441:

quote:

---

Plants growing on the third day (Geneis 1:11-13) before the sun was created (Genesis 1:14-19).

---

That isn't even logically possible, much less scientifically or historically correct.

quote:

---

Once upon a time there were three bears....

---

That story has a beginning too. But later on it claims the bears lived in a house and sat on chairs and slept in beds, so we have reason to question whether it is true.Similarly, Genesis claims that there were plants before the sun, so we have equal reason to question whether it is true.

He had nouns whether he had a word for them or not. If you believe he wrote Genesis, you don't have to go beyond chapter 1, verse 1 to find a noun: "God" is a noun, "heavens" is a noun, "earth" is a noun.

That is quite impressive (to me at least) but a miracle? Perhaps not.Yes, I do know personally a few folks that have been married that long.

Hi NoNukes, Well I think every person has a soul mate somewhere in the world that was created just for them. So to find that one out of billions on the very first try I consider to be a miracle.I have several friends who have been married for a long time to the same person. One couple we know celebrated their 68th Anniversary one month before we celebrated our 60th Anniversary. We have friends who have been married for 30 or more years all the way to 59 years. I can count over 50 such couples. I even have a couple of couples that got divorced in their first two years of marriage then remarried, their second marriage has lasted for 38 years for one couple and 44 years for the other couple.Everyone of those couples would credit their long relationship to having God in control in their homes. They attend church regularly like every time there is a scheduled or special service.So if this was the only benefit I ever got from my relationship with God it would be worth it. We celebrated our 60th Anniversary as husband and wife June 3, 2017 by having a ceremony renewing our vows.But maybe you don't accept it as a miracle but I do. I met my soul mate on the first try when she was 13 and I was 14 then when I was 18 we were married. To me this is just one of God's proofs to me that He is in control.God Bless,

Thats about the silliest thing you have ever written. Had I wrote it you would have plenty to say to refute it.

Hi ringo, You left out one word we classify as a noun. ראשית.God Bless,

Hi ringo, They had to exist before they could live in a house or sit on chairs or slept in beds.But providing it is false that they slept in beds, sat on chairs, or lived in a house, it is still true that they had to have a beginning for them to exist. That is unless they are eternal in existence.The same goes for the universe.
If the universe is not an eternal entity it had to have a beginning to exist.So I ask you again:

quote:

Question #1 a 2 part question.

​

Did the universe have a beginning to exist, how?

---

Please give me the scientific answer to both parts of that question.God Bless,

Hi ringo, Which one of the nine problems that proves the BBT is false would satisfy you that the BBT is false? Especially since you say it only takes one to nullify the entire Bible. You can find all nine here: Page not found | Relativity and Gravitation GroupGod Bless,

So my parents and parent in law are 1 in a billion each. That makes me having two of them 1bn x 1bn. Which is a very large and unlikely number. A double miracle, just for me!Are you not seeing the flaws in this argument yet? Childhood sweethearts married a long time is not a rarity. You've hit a sweetspot where people of your age and generation married young and are now able to live longer - no global wars, better health. The modern generation marry late - if at all - and don't expect or even necessarily want to stay with the same person forever.You're happy with your lot, but you're not unique nor is it remotely miraculous.

You have a habit of scoffing at things without thinking first.Let's try this again: "It only takes one untruth to prevent the whole Bible from being true."Some people believe that the whole Bible is true - every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God, etc. Right?If one thing in the Bible was false - e.g. the Flood - then the whole Bible would not be true, would it?If one piece of fruit in the bag is not an apple, then the whole bag is not apples, right?So what's silly?

So do you understand that Moses had nouns, even if he didn't call them nouns?
