Oh I need to ask you this little jeremiah...before I forget.
Can you wear a watch? I can't...they all stop.
Very awesome quotes, Ready!
I don't wear watches because it bothers me to wear stuff on my wrists. I could tolerate a pocket watch but I don't have pockets very much either; often I cut them out and sew up the edges. I like things very, very simple.
I always have a lot of clocks around.
"For the soul there is never birth nor death. Nor, having once been, does he ever cease to be. He is unborn, ever-existing, undying and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain." 2.20
"The soul can never be cut into pieces by any weapon, nor can he be burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind." 2.23
"This individual soul is unbreakable and insoluble, and can be neither burned nor dried. He is everlasting, all-pervading [meaning there are souls everywhere, not that one soul is everywhere], unchangeable, immovable, and eternally the same." 2.24
"He who dwells in the body is eternal and can never be slain. Therefore you need not grieve for any creature." 2.30
Timeless wisdom from the Vedas - which are in amazing agreement with the Bible.
The problem is that evolution is taught to kids in public schools as a kind of faith without teaching the flaws and questions about it. I remember being taught it in junior high school as though it was a fact and that created a doubt about God in my very impressionable mind.
it always great to have large testables. oysters help...
Corresponds to having no other Gods as in the 10 commandments, or prohibitions against idol worship. People think of idols as statues, but it can mean any material object including false ideas, that one worships instead of the Supreme. The teachings of the Vedas and of the Bible are in essence the same, when deeply pondered and understood.
LOL.......BTW, do oysters really work????
You shall have no other Gods before Me
My life is given to me by him.., a gift to do with as I choose. If I make my life about anything else than but him, then I have placed another god before him.
This could be evolution, science, money, power, adulation, sex, prestige, wine, hemp, aa, and on, and on, and on.
Does it bother me if a Christian tells me I am going to H***?.. H*** NO!, I already knew that, and that decision ultimately is not based on the words, the judgment of a peer, but he that is greater than all.
Although I speak these words, no one knows me as a Christian nor a creationist.
Wolf
You're quiet welcome Wolf;
That's the problem Wolf...so many folks really don't know what the Bible has to say. So many have been turned off by church or suppose to be Christians, so they won't bother reading the Bible to see what it says for themselves.
Here's a little more about our bodies;
1 Cor 35 But someone may ask, “How will the dead be raised? What kind of bodies will they have?”
36 What a foolish question! When you put a seed into the ground, it doesn’t grow into a plant unless it dies first.
37 And what you put in the ground is not the plant that will grow, but only a dry little seed of wheat or whatever it is you are planting.
38 Then God gives it a new body—just the kind he wants it to have. A different kind of plant grows from each kind of seed.
39 And just as there are different kinds of seeds and plants, so also there are different kinds of flesh—whether of humans, animals, birds, or fish.
40 There are bodies in the heavens, and there are bodies on earth. The glory of the heavenly bodies is different from the beauty of the earthly bodies.
41 The sun has one kind of glory, while the moon and stars each have another kind. And even the stars differ from each other in their beauty and brightness.
42 It is the same way for the resurrection of the dead. Our earthly bodies, which die and decay, will be different when they are resurrected, for they will never die.
43 Our bodies now disappoint us, but when they are raised, they will be full of glory. They are weak now, but when they are raised, they will be full of power.
44 They are natural human bodies now, but when they are raised, they will be spiritual bodies. For just as there are natural bodies, so also there are spiritual bodies.
45 The Scriptures tell us, “The first man, Adam, became a living person.” But the last Adam—that is, Christ—is a life-giving Spirit.
46 What came first was the natural body, then the spiritual body comes later.
47 Adam, the first man, was made from the dust of the earth, while Christ, the second man, came from heaven.
48 Every human being has an earthly body just like Adam’s, but our heavenly bodies will be just like Christ’s.
49 Just as we are now like Adam, the man of the earth, so we will someday be like Christ, the man from heaven.
50 What I am saying, dear brothers and sisters, is that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. These perishable bodies of ours are not able to live forever.
51 But let me tell you a wonderful secret God has revealed to us. Not all of us will die, but we will all be transformed.
52 It will happen in a moment, in the blinking of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, the Christians who have died will be raised with transformed bodies. And then we who are living will be transformed so that we will never die.
53 For our perishable earthly bodies must be transformed into heavenly bodies that will never die.
54 When this happens—when our perishable earthly bodies have been transformed into heavenly bodies that will never die—then at last the Scriptures will come true:
“Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?”
I agree 100%.
The lack of credible transitional fossils of one life form to another is just one of so many questions and flaws. There should be a whole alot of such fossils if it were true. I think if you are to be really honest you need to acknowledge that evolution is not being taught honestly because that is not the agenda. It's being taught as though it were true rather than a theory is dishonest. Why can't ID or creationism be taught along side evolution both with all the flaws and questions and allow the students to decide? That certainly would not be Congress passing a law establishing a religion as the constitution forbids.
It won't happen (for now) because the true-believing evolution fundamentalists will not tolerate blasphemy. No questions allowed, no criticism tolerated, and any scientist, researcher or author who dares to have a question, doubt, or criticism is automatically rejected as an apostate wacko and discredited. Only devoted followers are accepted as worthy.
But the TOE is a dead corpse, just flapping, and that is why evo-fundies are so rabid.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for all those verses. I've saved them to remember.
