Ping!
This is my biggest bugaboo with those that state that
evolution is compatible with creation.
The first thing that God observed wasn’t “good” was that Man was alone.
Mutation, disease, death & predation amongst His other creations is “good”?
Genesis also specifically states that plants were the food for every creature.
Young earthers and old earthers arguing the equivelant of how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. With about the same relevance.
Ahh - so T. Rexes ate salads before the Fall of Man. Those dagger-teeth were just for show. Then they started eating critters until they were drowned in the Flood.
Gotcha.
“Consider all this; and then turn to this green, gentle, and most docile earth; consider them both, the sea and the land; and do you not find a strange analogy to something in yourself? For as this appalling ocean surrounds the verdant land, so in the soul of man there lies one insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horrors of the half known life. God keep thee! Push not off from that isle, thou canst never return!”
Nature is a bloodbath. Those who have never pushed off from that insular Tahiti are peaceful and joyful in the ignorance of this. Those who have can never return.
about 2 years ago I read an article “Death to the Commentaries”, or was it ‘Commentators’? Consider it.
Commentaries have indeed created many confusing doctrines; and false ideas have entered into the understanding of the Scriptures.
Read and study the scriptures for yourself; and the Holy Spirit will teach you.
The church has changed during my lifetime; and when it is considered the times since Jesus walked on earth ... the changes have been many. We know that for sure from history itself. It is almost as if we believe the commentators/commentaries more than the scriptures.
Do not be mislead.
“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God; and he that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; it shall be given to him.” James 1:5
We were born for Jesus to heal us.
These people need to go get a job. In this day and age, aren’t there more serious things to worry about.
Reading through this thread, I’m getting a serious craving for a t-bone steak, rare, and some ribs.
You mean like tigers ate straw and ate pumas pinecones, stuff like that
“Suffering” is a subjective term.
In order to “suffer” one must have human consciousness. Everything els is merely animal stimulous response.
I think you play a game with yourself. That is, “Of the 12 dumb articles I post on FR every day, I will try to outdo the stupidity of the stupidest one from yesterday.”
From this one: “In today’s fallen world, carnivores eat other animals. But God’s original creation was perfect; man and all the animals were herbivores.”
Score one for GGG.
