Hey, I noticed the Biblical symbolism that you built into your home page.

The angel wings with the death skulls is a nice representation of demonic angels.

And did you know that Mary Magdalene had 7 demons cast out by Christ? Quite appropriate for your choice of music.

Gotta run. Catch you later.

Cute, glad you like my friend’s band. FYI, they pulled that symbol off a Japanese Anime cartoon.. so much for reading so much into things.

I did not realize that "The Jewish Daily Forward" was a Discovery Institute publication. Nor did I realize that the "tentacles" of the Discovery Institute reached from Seattle to New York.

I'm still waiting to hear from steve-b as to which claim David makes is factually untrue. Apparently he has a strange definition of "twaddle."

But then, what can you do with someone who reduces morality to social utilitarianism and "rational self-interest" without recognizing the Theonomic, cultic aspect behind all morality and ethics?

"I am laughing you brought up 153 because I’ve seen a lot of people who use numerology use this, just like 11:11. 153 is one of those mathematical numbers that have unique attributes (look up “happy cube”) Some people like to make a Biblical symbol out of it because in John, that is how many fish where caught.. when, instead of a symbol, it could just happen to be how many fish where caught."

Yes, 153 is an important Biblical number because the fish that are caught represent Gentile 'sons of god' that will be brought into the Kingdom of God by the gospel. It is the numerical value of the term 'sons of god' in Hebrew and is important for that reason.

But all that is between you and God.. for folks on a forum, it is just an indicator on how seriously to take your posts in the future."

And all that is between you and God as well.. and thanks for letting me know that you have been appointed the final arbiter of the value of posts for the forum.

Interesting that you think it cute and that you think I like your friend's band.

Don't know how you reached those conclusions, but I'd say it is completely consistent with the images displayed by your friends, denying the existence of evidence for God in nature and denying the importance of Biblical numbers for understanding Christianity.

I suppose the thinking that anything displayed in Japanese Anime is therefore harmless is consistent with those thought patterns too.

Please tell me that you’re really not THAT simple! You apparently, like many others, can’t seem to grasp even MINOR metaphors!

And on what basis should we take your word on it as authoritative?

How do YOU know that God doesn't look like us physically?

Or... how do you KNOW that God doesn't look like us physically?

I always find it amusing and ironic, that evos pitch a fit about Christians making statements about God and then going on to declare that Christians are wrong but THEY know for sure what God meant when He said things.

It's interesting how evos are so adamant about Christians being wrong about Scripture, and then turn around and expect others to take THEIR interpretation as the final word.

Number one, I'm no Darwinist, and I take offense that you imply I am!

Two, I can't believe there are Christians who are SO ARROGANT as to assume the Almighty Creator looks like a human being! Most BIBLICALLY EDUCATED Christians recognize that the passages quoted refer to spiritual nature, NOT physical.

For cryin’ out loud; our Lord said “I am the bread of life..”; do you therefore say that Christ was saying he is a loaf of bread?????!!

Number one, what part of Darwinism do you disagree with? I take offense that you imply metmom said you were!

Appeal to argumentum ad populum NOTED!

"For cryin’ out loud; our Lord said “I am the bread of life..”; do you therefore say that Christ was saying he is a loaf of bread?????!!"

For cryin' out loud! Our Lord said, "I am the bread of life..."; NOT "I am a loaf of bread"! Do you therefore say that when Christ said, "No one comes to the Father but by me..." that people can get to the Father by getting by Christ?
