Maybe less than half. It's showing up on the battlefield. ... isn't knowing that i'm racist half the battle? I'm wearing an orange shirt today. It's Orange Shirt Day in Canada, a day to promote awareness of racism against indigenous people. So I'm on the battlefield, in uniform - but not strictly doing anything."I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!" -- Lucky Ned Pepper

I don't know why they picked orange. It's pretty distinctive, I guess. ... could you possibly pick a different color? We also have a political party, the New Democratic Party (which is self-proclaimed socialist) whose official colour is orange. (The liberals are red and the Conservatives are blue.) As for green, our local pro football team's colours are green and white and they do a lot of merchandising - so anytime you go outside you're bound to see a sea of green."I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!" -- Lucky Ned Pepper

My cousin's husband told a story about when he was hitchhiking through Louisiana in the old hippie days: ... how we made tactile contact with him, such as back patting, nudging during a joke etc. He stopped at a laundromat to do some laundry and was well under way before he realized that he was the only white person in the place. (I probably would have noticed as soon as I opened the door and I would have quietly gone on my way. But he was very innocent in some ways - I honestly can't remember him ever having a bad word to say about anybody.) One of the black women came over and showed him a shirt and asked if he'd like to try it on. It was a nice shirt, so he gladly tried it on. He realized only later that the lady had been testing him because a lot of white people wouldn't want to touch anything that a black person had worn."I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man!" -- Lucky Ned Pepper

Racism is part of our evolution and so is liberality toward our own social group. We are trying to overcome our evolutionary heritage by broadening our social group to include other races and extending our liberality. My point is that Dredge is more of an anti-liberal than he is ageist or racist. Ironically, conservatives like Dredge are trying to conserve our evolved flaws while at the same time denying evolution."Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt." -- motto of the Special Olympians

What does your rant have to do with anything I said?
"Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had? It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong. Give me back, give me back my Leningrad." -- Leningrad Cowboys

Yes - but an exact mathematical equivalence is not one of them. For example, if the six days of creation was exactly six thousand years, then that really messes up Bishop Ussher's calculations.
he Apostle Peter makes an important statement in2 Peter 3:8 "But beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as on day. Can this verse have several meanings? candle2 writes:
Strictly speaking, when you think it's nigh, it isn't.
While it is true that we don't know the day nor thehour of Christ's return, we can know when it in nigh. candle2 writes:
Tell it to Bishop Ussher. If the seventh day Sabbath is a 1000 years long, thenso are the other six days. It would make absolutely no sense to assume differently.

You brought up the one-day-is-as-a-thousand-days thing. What did you mean by it then?
Ringo, I never said that the six days of creation were aperiod of 1000 years each. The days of creations were each 24 hours in length. candle2 writes:
Do you have any idea what Google is? And, I have no idea who Bishop Ussher is."Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had?

That's one way to try to reconcile the errors in Genesis 1.
the earth; sun; moon; and, the entirety of theuniverse was already in existence before the creation week in Genesis. candle2 writes:
Tohuw means to lie waste. Look up the Word waste inthe dictionary. By no stretch of the imagination can waste/tohuw be indicative of something just created. ![]() No need to do that. Here's the whole citation from Strong:quote:A desert could certainly be something just created. candle2 writes:
Again, let's look at what Strong actually says:
The same goes for void-bohuw, # 922 Strong's. Bohuwmeans "an undistinguishable ruin." quote:Vacuity, emptyness. candle2 writes:
But things are often created empty.
Nothing is created as an undistinguishable ruin. candle2 writes:
Wrong. See above. This requires a destructive process, not a creative one. Have you even read Strong or did you just quote second-hand from some creationist source?
candle2 writes:
Neither Psalms nor Isaiah nor Job supports your perversion of Genesis. Of course the earth is constantly being renewed. That has nothing to do with Genesis.
There is more to support that Genesis is describing arenewal and not an original creation, but no more should be needed. candle2 writes:
Romans is wrong. If there was no death before Adam and Eve, how could God threaten them with death? Romans 5:12 states that death exists only because ofthe sins of Adam.

What DO you think governments should do? I don't believe that government should "legislate fairness". And conversely, how else will we achieve fairness?"Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had?

No. You don't get to decide what the "primary meaning" is. YOU were the one wo (mis)quoted Strong. I just pointed out what Strong actually said.
Tohuw's primary meaning is "to lie waste." candle2 writes:
It says no such thing:
Isaiah 45:18 states that the earth was not not createdtohuw. quote: candle2 writes:
I didn't say it. Strong did. Now you say that the earth was created as a desert,worthless thing or desolate, a vacuity candle2 writes:
I quoted it above. It does not contradict what Strong said.
But that directly contradicts Isaiah 45:18 that statesthe earth was not created tohuw, or as you say: desert, worthless thing, or desolate place. candle2 writes:
Tohuw IS the condition that the earth was created in. But tohuw does NOT mean what you claim it does. You're contradicting your own source.
If tohuw is not the condition that the earth wascreated in.... candle2 writes:
You're embellishing again. There's nothing in the story to suggest that God told them anything about death. They would have to have known about it already, from observation of reality, or His threat would have been meaningless.
You mentioned that Adam and Eve, who had neverexperienced death, would not know what death meant. Sure they would. God told them. candle2 writes:
Pay attention. I didn't say he was lying. I said he was wrong. And, no offense, but Paul, who wrote Romans, hasbeen known by a good many of people down through the centuries. If one of you two is lying, it sure ain't him. "Oh no, They've gone and named my home St. Petersburg. What's going on? Where are all the friends I had? It's all wrong, I'm feeling lost like I just don't belong. Give me back, give me back my Leningrad." -- Leningrad Cowboys
