No, I must argue with individuals like you because Churches are just collections of individuals. Even if some individuals decide to believe other than God on any given issue. It may be their right to believe what they want. That doesn't make it true and it doesn't change what the Judaic and Christian Scriptures say. And I don't care what the Pope thinks or says. He is a man, not God. Peter was an Apostle of Christ and had to be rebuked and corrected by Paul. I don't grant that the Pope is anything similar, special or better than you or I in God's eyes. He will answer to God just as you and I will and with no special treatment. He is responsible to God for his words and without excuse.. just as both of us are. You knew enough about your subject to argue without even bothering to check what I was saying. You went directly to evolutionist tactics rather than defending God's word. And you would tell me that you are an ID proponent but apparently not a Christian? The first tenet of Christianity is that you believe God. The first tenet of Judaism is that you believe God. Christians don't get to pick and choose what, from God, they will believe any more than Adam and Eve had that right. Since when are you special?
Well as you well know being the scholar you are that god created plant and land animal and all that creeps on the sixth day.
Ummm. No. Genesis 1:9-13 states that was done on DAY Three. On day six, God gave the plants, herbs, trees, etc to man. grass, herb bearing sead, trees, etc all came on day three, before the sun was created. Have you actually ever read Genesis? Or are you just taking it on someone elses nonsense that these things are so?
Actually I am just going by memory. But that being said, if you are to take literally word for word what the bible says, as you are. Then I assume you deserve to be stoned a few times, maybe your wife or your children also. Whens the last time you ate pork? Catfish? Slept in the same room as a woman while she was on her period? Masturbated? Had a cheeseburger? Skipped a day of work to have fun? Gossiped?
I could go on and on, if you would have me stick to orthodoxy on creation, then its only fair to be orthodox on the rest and to demand that of you, since you demand of me the same.
And you would tell me that you are an ID proponent but apparently not a Christian?>>
Nothing about ID says I must be a Christian. Tell me exactly where in the theory that says so?
The first tenet of Christianity is that you believe God. The first tenet of Judaism is that you believe God.>>
Yeah and I do, whats your beef with that?
Christians don't get to pick and choose what, from God>>
Christians have and will, ever since Christianity was formed. The day you celebrate Christmas to Easter, from what you eat and when your baptized.
Sounds to me that you would have every Christian revert to the dark ages again.
