"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me." —John 14:6

It's Jesus or Hell! The Pope cannot save you. The church cannot save
you. Good works cannot save you. Baptism cannot save you. Holy
Communion cannot save you. ONLY Jesus can save you. ONLY Jesus has the
nail-scared hands and feet.

ONLY Jesus shed His blood upon the cross. ONLY Jesus! If you try to
enter into Heaven some other way than through the Lord Jesus Christ,
than God says you are a "thief" and a "robber" trying to break in
illegally...

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into
the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a
robber." —John 10:1

There is only one DOOR into Heaven...

"I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall
go in and out, and find pasture." —John 10:9

Jesus is the Door to Heaven. If you miss Jesus, then you have missed
your only bus ticket to Heaven. This is what Paul meant when he warned
of "falling from grace" in Galatians 5:4. If you pass up the gospel of
Jesus Christ, then you are hopelessly lost without Christ. I say this
not to be unkind, but to be honest. The truth can be dealt with, but a
lie cannot. What will you do with Jesus? Would you like to KNOW for
certain that your name is written in Heaven? You can know for sure that
if you died this moment, you'd go to Heaven (1st John 5:13).

Salvation happens when a person acknowledges their guilt of sin, coming
to God on the basis of being a hell-deserving sinner; believing on
Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God to forgive their sins (Acts 10:43).
Salvation is receiving; not giving. Eternal life is the gift of God
(Romans 6:23). Salvation is freely given (Romans 5:15), freely offered
(Romans 10:13), and freely received (Revelation 22:17). We are saved
solely by Christ's righteousness, which is through faith in His precious
blood that washes our sins away. If you come to God as a guilty sinner
and believe on the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness, then you will
be saved. The choice is your alone to make friend. Will you accept
Christ's payment for your sins?

All God the Father asks is that you come to Him THROUGH His dear Son,
Jesus, the Christ, for forgiveness.

The BIBLE does not teach of a sadistic God who fries people like on a
hot grill. To accuse God of such an astroncity should be a crime. The
bible "hell" is the common grave of dead mankind.

"In Old Testament times, the Israelites believed that all the dead,
both good and evil, went to a dark, unhappy place called Sheol." (The
1999 World Book Encyclopedia)



"hell

...It developed out of Hebrew sheol and Greek hades as the place of
the dead. (Webster's World Encyclopedia)

"...English translations have equally given Sheol a great variety of
appearances: it has been shown as "a pit," "a grave," or -
misleadingly - "hell."" (Webster's World Encyclopedia)

The Bible doesn't "teach" anything at all, brainwashed moron - that is
an Orwellian redefinition to make it seem to the stupid and gullible
that it is authoritative.

AND NOBODY IS "ACCUSING" THE FICTIONAL OF ANYTHING, IMBECILE - JUST

About 4 miles from where I live there is a village named Helsted. It was
originally a center of worship for the god of the underworld Hel. It is
actually a nice little place, and human sacrifice has pretty much fallen
into disuse : )

certain that your name is written in Heaven? You can know for sure that
if you died this moment, you'd go to Heaven (1st John 5:13).
The Bible teaches that not every good person goes to Heaven. For
example, John the Baptist (who was a good person) did not make it to
Heaven. Jesus tells us this at Mt 11:11,

"I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen
anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the
kingdom of heaven is greater than he." (NIV)

Also, King David, ("a man agreeable to my heart"-Ac 13:22), did not
make it to Heaven either. Ac 2:34,

"For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, "The Lord said
to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand""" (NIV)

And Jesus plainly states that at the time he made the following
statement, NO human had ever been to Heaven. Not Moses, King David,
Ezekiel, etc, no one. Joh 3:13,

"No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from
heaven--the Son of Man." (NIV)

Thus at least up to Jesus' time, all good men who died did not go to
Heaven. Then where did they go? They are still in the common grave of
mankind, called "Sheol" in the Bible. The wise man Solomon said that
all men end up in Sheol. Ec 9:10,

"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is
no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are
going." (RSV)

The hope for those in "sheol" is a resurrection. Luke wrote at Ac
24:15,

"and I have the same hope in God as these men, that there will be a
resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked." (NIV)

So who make it to Heaven? Jesus referred to those who will be in
Heaven as a "little flock". (Lu 12:32) Why is it "little"? Because the
number going to Heaven is limited to "a hundred and forty-four
thousand". (Re 7:4; 14:1)

What are those 144,000 going to do in Heaven, float around on clouds
and play harps? No, they are to going to be kings and priests, and
rule over those who will be on the earth. (If you are a king, you have
to have subjects) Re 5:10,

"You changed them into a kingdom and priests for our God. They will
rule over the earth." (Simple English Bible)

The rest of mankind will have the opportunity to live forever on the
earth, just as God originally intended with the human family when He
created Adam and Eve. Jesus referred to that group as "other sheep"
(John 10:16). Jesus also was talking about that group at Mt 5:5,

"Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth."

You can't "inherit the earth" or "rule" over it, if there is no one
left on it. (or if the earth has been destroyed) If all humans either
went to a 'hellfire' or to Heaven when they died (or got raptured),
there would be no one left. No, the Bible clearly shows that humans
will be on the earth forever, as well as some in Heaven forever.

Please verify these scriptures in your Bible and if you have any
questions don't hesitate to ask.

The Bible wants us to PROVE whatever we can. (1 Th 5:21) It has
prophecies which have been proven true. It describes things of science
which were not understood at the time. Such as a circular (spherical)
earth floating in space. (Isa 40:22; Job 26:7)

Also, the Bible tells us about the Creator, thus all these millions
complex machines running around just didn't piece themselves together
over time. Have you ever seen a machine piece itself together without
a mind behind it? Neither have I. Thus SOMEONE very powerful brought
all these things into existence.

being such a hypocrite and PROVE IT.

And when it finally percolates through your thick skull that you
can't, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.

Also, the Bible tells us about the Creator,
Once again, you rudely and stupidly beg the question that you never
answer....

WHAT FUCKING CREATOR?

thus all these millions
complex machines running around just didn't piece themselves together
over time. Have you ever seen a machine piece itself together without
a mind behind it? Neither have I. Thus SOMEONE very powerful brought
all these things into existence.

The Bible teaches that not every good person goes to Heaven. For
example, John the Baptist (who was a good person) did not make it to
Heaven. Jesus tells us this at Mt 11:11,
"I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen
anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the
kingdom of heaven is greater than he." (NIV)
Also, King David, ("a man agreeable to my heart"-Ac 13:22), did not
make it to Heaven either. Ac 2:34,
"For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, "The Lord said
to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand""" (NIV)
And Jesus plainly states that at the time he made the following
statement, NO human had ever been to Heaven. Not Moses, King David,
Ezekiel, etc, no one. Joh 3:13,
"No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from
heaven--the Son of Man." (NIV)
Thus at least up to Jesus' time, all good men who died did not go to
Heaven. Then where did they go? They are still in the common grave of
mankind, called "Sheol" in the Bible. The wise man Solomon said that
all men end up in Sheol. Ec 9:10,
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is
no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are
going." (RSV)
The hope for those in "sheol" is a resurrection. Luke wrote at Ac
24:15,
"and I have the same hope in God as these men, that there will be a
resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked." (NIV)
So who make it to Heaven? Jesus referred to those who will be in
Heaven as a "little flock". (Lu 12:32) Why is it "little"? Because the
number going to Heaven is limited to "a hundred and forty-four
thousand". (Re 7:4; 14:1)
What are those 144,000 going to do in Heaven, float around on clouds
and play harps? No, they are to going to be kings and priests, and
rule over those who will be on the earth. (If you are a king, you have
to have subjects) Re 5:10,
"You changed them into a kingdom and priests for our God. They will
rule over the earth." (Simple English Bible)
The rest of mankind will have the opportunity to live forever on the
earth, just as God originally intended with the human family when He
created Adam and Eve. Jesus referred to that group as "other sheep"
(John 10:16). Jesus also was talking about that group at Mt 5:5,
"Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth."
You can't "inherit the earth" or "rule" over it, if there is no one
left on it. (or if the earth has been destroyed) If all humans either
went to a 'hellfire' or to Heaven when they died (or got raptured),
there would be no one left. No, the Bible clearly shows that humans
will be on the earth forever, as well as some in Heaven forever.
Please verify these scriptures in your Bible and if you have any
questions don't hesitate to ask.
I have a question. Why do believe that the Bible is of divine origin?
The Bible wants us to PROVE whatever we can. (1 Th 5:21) It has
prophecies which have been proven true. It describes things of science
which were not understood at the time. Such as a circular (spherical)
earth floating in space. (Isa 40:22; Job 26:7)
You've been told that the earth is not floating in space, so why are
you repeating this lie?

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?

There's no evidence that your god exists or is as you describe.
There plenty all around you, if you can be bothered to open your eyes.
The human brain we are informed is the most complicated object in the
Universe, and science can barely scratch it's surface.
Man cannot create life, or even the smallest grass-seed as the secret
remains with an Almighty Intelligent Creator.
As for the heavens, that is even more awesome proof of intelligent and
intrinsic design.
Nice series of arguments from ignorance.
Yet you are *unable* to refute them. So you don't even try.
What's to refute, Andrew? Some of his statements are true and the
remainder are his personal opinion, unsupported by any facts.

Which is in itself *evidence* of their veracity, and that you
have been *deceived* into accepting a false worldview.
When one side unilaterally declares victory before it fires the first

I have no question. I'm just pointing out the rock solid proof
of no God that is both good and almighty.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicurus

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?

live."" (NIV)

Thus be glad He doesn't appear before you. You would vaporize. As for
evil, That comes from demons and humans. As for God, Jas 1:13,

"When someone is being tested, he shouldn't think that God is tempting
him to do wrong. Evil cannot tempt God and God does not tempt anyone
with evil." (Simple English)

You are so wrong about your loving Creator. Don't mix up God's right

Man cannot create life, or even the smallest grass-seed as the secret

I'm just pointing out the rock solid

But you use *false reasoning* by constructing a simplistic

experience release from all of anxieties that
have plagued the soul.

"Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke
upon you and learn of Me, for I am meek and
lowly in heart, and ye shall find rest unto your
souls." ~ Jesus

He is real.

The Bible wants us to PROVE whatever we can. (1 Th 5:21) It has
prophecies which have been proven true. It describes things of science
which were not understood at the time. Such as a circular (spherical)
earth floating in space. (Isa 40:22; Job 26:7)
You've been told that the earth is not floating in space, so why are
you repeating this lie?
It is attached to nothing, neither is it secured in place by anything
physically
defined.
The same is true of a stick lying on the ground but one wouldn't use the
word 'floating' to describe it.

The Bible teaches that not every good person goes to Heaven. For
example, John the Baptist (who was a good person) did not make it to
Heaven. Jesus tells us this at Mt 11:11,
"I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen
anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the
kingdom of heaven is greater than he." (NIV)
Also, King David, ("a man agreeable to my heart"-Ac 13:22), did not
make it to Heaven either. Ac 2:34,
"For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, "The Lord said
to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand""" (NIV)
And Jesus plainly states that at the time he made the following
statement, NO human had ever been to Heaven. Not Moses, King David,
Ezekiel, etc, no one. Joh 3:13,
"No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from
heaven--the Son of Man." (NIV)
Thus at least up to Jesus' time, all good men who died did not go to
Heaven. Then where did they go? They are still in the common grave of
mankind, called "Sheol" in the Bible. The wise man Solomon said that
all men end up in Sheol. Ec 9:10,
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is
no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are
going." (RSV)
The hope for those in "sheol" is a resurrection. Luke wrote at Ac
24:15,
"and I have the same hope in God as these men, that there will be a
resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked." (NIV)
So who make it to Heaven? Jesus referred to those who will be in
Heaven as a "little flock". (Lu 12:32) Why is it "little"? Because the
number going to Heaven is limited to "a hundred and forty-four
thousand". (Re 7:4; 14:1)
What are those 144,000 going to do in Heaven, float around on clouds
and play harps? No, they are to going to be kings and priests, and
rule over those who will be on the earth. (If you are a king, you have
to have subjects) Re 5:10,
"You changed them into a kingdom and priests for our God. They will
rule over the earth." (Simple English Bible)
The rest of mankind will have the opportunity to live forever on the
earth, just as God originally intended with the human family when He
created Adam and Eve. Jesus referred to that group as "other sheep"
(John 10:16). Jesus also was talking about that group at Mt 5:5,
"Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth."
You can't "inherit the earth" or "rule" over it, if there is no one
left on it. (or if the earth has been destroyed) If all humans either
went to a 'hellfire' or to Heaven when they died (or got raptured),
there would be no one left. No, the Bible clearly shows that humans
will be on the earth forever, as well as some in Heaven forever.
Please verify these scriptures in your Bible and if you have any
questions don't hesitate to ask.

The Bible teaches that not every good person goes to Heaven. For
example, John the Baptist (who was a good person) did not make it to
Heaven. Jesus tells us this at Mt 11:11,
"I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen
anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the
kingdom of heaven is greater than he." (NIV)
Also, King David, ("a man agreeable to my heart"-Ac 13:22), did not
make it to Heaven either. Ac 2:34,
"For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, "The Lord said
to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand""" (NIV)
And Jesus plainly states that at the time he made the following
statement, NO human had ever been to Heaven. Not Moses, King David,
Ezekiel, etc, no one. Joh 3:13,
"No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from
heaven--the Son of Man." (NIV)
Thus at least up to Jesus' time, all good men who died did not go to
Heaven. Then where did they go? They are still in the common grave of
mankind, called "Sheol" in the Bible. The wise man Solomon said that
all men end up in Sheol. Ec 9:10,
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is
no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are
going." (RSV)
The hope for those in "sheol" is a resurrection. Luke wrote at Ac
24:15,
"and I have the same hope in God as these men, that there will be a
resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked." (NIV)
So who make it to Heaven? Jesus referred to those who will be in
Heaven as a "little flock". (Lu 12:32) Why is it "little"? Because the
number going to Heaven is limited to "a hundred and forty-four
thousand". (Re 7:4; 14:1)
What are those 144,000 going to do in Heaven, float around on clouds
and play harps? No, they are to going to be kings and priests, and
rule over those who will be on the earth. (If you are a king, you have
to have subjects) Re 5:10,
"You changed them into a kingdom and priests for our God. They will
rule over the earth." (Simple English Bible)
The rest of mankind will have the opportunity to live forever on the
earth, just as God originally intended with the human family when He
created Adam and Eve. Jesus referred to that group as "other sheep"
(John 10:16). Jesus also was talking about that group at Mt 5:5,
"Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth."
You can't "inherit the earth" or "rule" over it, if there is no one
left on it. (or if the earth has been destroyed) If all humans either
went to a 'hellfire' or to Heaven when they died (or got raptured),
there would be no one left. No, the Bible clearly shows that humans
will be on the earth forever, as well as some in Heaven forever.
Please verify these scriptures in your Bible and if you have any
questions don't hesitate to ask.
I have a question. Why do believe that the Bible is of divine origin?
The Bible wants us to PROVE whatever we can. (1 Th 5:21) It has
prophecies which have been proven true.
No.
It describes things of science

which were not understood at the time. Such as a circular (spherical)
earth floating in space. (Isa 40:22; Job 26:7)
Circular is not spherical, and there were people then who considered the
possibility that the world was spherical, it did not take divine inspiration
to figure it out.

No, as the comparison showed, there are two kinds of machines on this

The Bible teaches that not every good person goes to Heaven. For
example, John the Baptist (who was a good person) did not make it to
Heaven. Jesus tells us this at Mt 11:11,
"I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen
anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the
kingdom of heaven is greater than he." (NIV)
Also, King David, ("a man agreeable to my heart"-Ac 13:22), did not
make it to Heaven either. Ac 2:34,
"For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, "The Lord said
to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand""" (NIV)
And Jesus plainly states that at the time he made the following
statement, NO human had ever been to Heaven. Not Moses, King David,
Ezekiel, etc, no one. Joh 3:13,
"No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from
heaven--the Son of Man." (NIV)
Thus at least up to Jesus' time, all good men who died did not go to
Heaven. Then where did they go? They are still in the common grave of
mankind, called "Sheol" in the Bible. The wise man Solomon said that
all men end up in Sheol. Ec 9:10,
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is
no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are
going." (RSV)
The hope for those in "sheol" is a resurrection. Luke wrote at Ac
24:15,
"and I have the same hope in God as these men, that there will be a
resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked." (NIV)
So who make it to Heaven? Jesus referred to those who will be in
Heaven as a "little flock". (Lu 12:32) Why is it "little"? Because the
number going to Heaven is limited to "a hundred and forty-four
thousand". (Re 7:4; 14:1)
What are those 144,000 going to do in Heaven, float around on clouds
and play harps? No, they are to going to be kings and priests, and
rule over those who will be on the earth. (If you are a king, you have
to have subjects) Re 5:10,
"You changed them into a kingdom and priests for our God. They will
rule over the earth." (Simple English Bible)
The rest of mankind will have the opportunity to live forever on the
earth, just as God originally intended with the human family when He
created Adam and Eve. Jesus referred to that group as "other sheep"
(John 10:16). Jesus also was talking about that group at Mt 5:5,
"Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth."
You can't "inherit the earth" or "rule" over it, if there is no one
left on it. (or if the earth has been destroyed) If all humans either
went to a 'hellfire' or to Heaven when they died (or got raptured),
there would be no one left. No, the Bible clearly shows that humans
will be on the earth forever, as well as some in Heaven forever.
Please verify these scriptures in your Bible and if you have any
questions don't hesitate to ask.
I have a question. Why do believe that the Bible is of divine origin?
The Bible wants us to PROVE whatever we can. (1 Th 5:21) It has
prophecies which have been proven true.
No.
It describes things of science
Post by James
which were not understood at the time. Such as a circular (spherical)
earth floating in space. (Isa 40:22; Job 26:7)
Circular is not spherical, and there were people then who considered the
possibility that the world was spherical, it did not take divine inspiration
to figure it out.
At around 1400 BC, who what that?
The book has been dated to the 6'th century bc.
Job 26:7= 1473 BC
Isa 40:22= 732 BC

Also, the Bible tells us about the Creator, thus all these millions
complex machines running around just didn't piece themselves together
over time. Have you ever seen a machine piece itself together without
a mind behind it? Neither have I. Thus SOMEONE very powerful brought
all these things into existence.
False analogy. We are not machines.
"The Cell as a Machine"
(www.columbia.edu/cu/biology/courses/w3150/lecture1.pdf?)
In other words it is analogous to a machine. It is absurd to stretch the
analogy into claiming that a living cell is a machine.
I am not claiming anything. That university above called a cell a
machine. A living cell is a highly complex machine. Only until
miniaturization was copying such a thing even feasible.
A living cell is not a machine. That you are unable to recognize an obvious
analogy is your problem.
Like I said before, that Univeristy called a cell a machine. Thus it
can be thought of that way. A cell has moving parts, a rock does not.
Thus a rock is not a machine. If humans designed and created a complex
cell, would you not call it a machine?

We are not put together as machines

believe the Bible is of divine origin.
Denying that we are not biological machines does not make it true.
Again, when have you ever seen a machine pop itself into existance?
Whether biological or mechanical?
When have I seen a non-mechanical machine pop into existence? I have never
seen a non-mechanical machine period. Is that something like non-wet water?
No, as the comparison showed, there are two kinds of machines on this
planet, living biological & non-living mechanical. A bicycle is an
example of a non-living mechanical machine. A rabbit is an example of
a living biological machine.
So you will continue to talk about non-mechanical machines. That is funny
and sad at the same time.

WHY DO YOU IMAGINE THE BIBLE HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT, pathological

Here's a clue....

YOU FIRST HAVE TO PROVE THAT THE BIBLE IS AUTHORITATIVE.

But you can't, you just assume it.

Even though it demonstrably isn't - things that you assume must be
true because they're in it, include physical impossibilities like the
entire Genesis myths.

YOU FIRST HAVE TO PROVE THAT THE BIBLE IS AUTHORITATIVE.
But you can't, you just assume it.
You appear to have already made your mind up, so what's the use? I
don't recall if I have given you the following, but it helps to show
that the Bible is authoritative. If you can, just look at it with an
open mind, because you are missing out on knowledge with a closed
mind:

Around 2000 years before the time of Columbus, and when there were all
kinds of mythological descriptions concerning the earth, such as the
ancient Hindu writings of the Ramayana which says that it rested on
the back of a giant turtle supported by 8 elephants etc, a Hebrew
prophet wrote in Isaiah 40:22,

"He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,..." (NIV)

The Hebrew word used here for "circle" is "hhug" which according to
some Hebrew scholars also has the meaning of "sphere". (for example
see: "A Concordance of the Hebrew and Chaldee Scriptures by B.
Davidson")

Some other Bible translations therefore say, "the globe of the earth"
(Douay Version, DRA,), and "round ball of earth" (MSG), "the round
earth." (Moffatt).

Also, out of the Book of Job comes the statement at Job 26:7,

"He stretches out the north over the void, and hangs the earth upon
nothing." (RSV)

So the Bible in its poetic style, describes the earth as a circular
sphere 'hanging' upon "nothing" (floating) in a "void" (space). Since
orbital flight was not around back then, how could they have known
such things?

Even many of hundreds of years later from the writing of the book of
Job, the wise man Aristotle still believed things in the heavens were
attached to supports, not just floating there. Yet the Bible said the
earth "hangs...upon nothing." Pretty good 'guess' from a human's point
of view, about such things, if the Bible is only a fabrication of men,
is it not?
Post by Christopher A. Lee
Even though it demonstrably isn't - things that you assume must be
true because they're in it, include physical impossibilities like the
entire Genesis myths.
Alright, compare the Bible's accounts with true science. Just recall
that the men who wrote these things were not scientists, but usually
farmers etc:

"The science of mathematical probability offers striking proof that
the Genesis creation account must have come from a source with
knowledge of the events. The account lists 10 major stages in this
order: (1) a beginning; (2) a primitive earth in darkness and
enshrouded in heavy gases and water; (3) light; (4) an expanse or
atmosphere; (5) large areas of dry land; (6) land plants; (7) sun,
moon and stars discernible in the expanse, and seasons beginning; (8)
sea monsters and flying creatures; (9) wild and tame beasts, mammals;
(10) man. Science agrees that these stages occurred in this general
order. What are the chances that the writer of Genesis just guessed
this order? The same as if you picked at random the numbers 1 to 10
from a box, and drew them in consecutive order. The chances of doing
this on your first try are 1 in 3,628,800!" (Life- How did it get
here? By evolution or by creation?, 1985, p. 36)

Also compare the creation account in Genesis with the creation account
of the ancient Babylonians. (I don't recall if I mentioned this
before, but if not here it is)

The Babylonian creation account says the god Apsu along with the
goddess Tiamat created other gods. Apsu later on didn't like these
other gods and tried to kill them, but he ended up getting killed by
the god Ea. Tiamat was upset at the killing of Apsu and thus tried to
kill Ea. Instead, Ea's son Marduk killed her. Marduk split her body in
half, and with one half made the sky and the other half made the
earth. Marduk then with the help of Ra, made mankind from the blood of
the god, Kingu.

I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to see that Genesis had
access to information that the rest of humanity (at least the
Babylonians, and none other than I ever read about) did not have at
that time.

Alright, compare the Bible's accounts with true science. Just recall
that the men who wrote these things were not scientists, but usually
"The science of mathematical probability offers striking proof that
the Genesis creation account must have come from a source with
knowledge of the events. The account lists 10 major stages in this
order: (1) a beginning; (2) a primitive earth in darkness and
enshrouded in heavy gases and water; (3) light; (4) an expanse or
atmosphere; (5) large areas of dry land; (6) land plants; (7) sun,
moon and stars discernible in the expanse, and seasons beginning; (8)
sea monsters and flying creatures; (9) wild and tame beasts, mammals;
(10) man. Science agrees that these stages occurred in this general
order.
1) What science claims that birds existed
before land animals?

2) What science claims that the Earth
existed before the Sun did?

3) What science claims that water existed
on the earth before atmosphere and solid
ground did?

You're right; it doesn't take a rocket scientist.

What it takes is a totally brainwashed and delusional idiot.

"The wholly babble is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the

of science. But there is no way they could have known it so it can
only have been inspired by a magical superbeing"

"I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen
anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the
kingdom of heaven is greater than he." (NIV)
Why do you liars lie that t hisis "the truth", liar?
The Bible says that some people will have the faith, and others not.
Thus we have a difference of opinion, but hopefully it won't always
be. (here, I left myself wide open, have fun)
The Bible says a lot of things, many of them stupid, many of them barbaric,
many of them contradict each other. Try being honest with yourself.

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man
cometh unto the Father, but by me." —John 14:6
It's Jesus or Hell! The Pope cannot save you. The church cannot save
you. Good works cannot save you. Baptism cannot save you. Holy
Communion cannot save you. ONLY Jesus can save you. ONLY Jesus has the
nail-scared hands and feet.
ONLY Jesus shed His blood upon the cross. ONLY Jesus! If you try to
enter into Heaven some other way than through the Lord Jesus Christ,
than God says you are a "thief" and a "robber" trying to break in
illegally...
"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into
the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a
robber." —John 10:1
There is only one DOOR into Heaven...
"I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall
go in and out, and find pasture." —John 10:9
Jesus is the Door to Heaven. If you miss Jesus, then you have missed
your only bus ticket to Heaven. This is what Paul meant when he warned
of "falling from grace" in Galatians 5:4. If you pass up the gospel of
Jesus Christ, then you are hopelessly lost without Christ. I say this
not to be unkind, but to be honest. The truth can be dealt with, but a
lie cannot. What will you do with Jesus? Would you like to KNOW for
certain that your name is written in Heaven? You can know for sure that
if you died this moment, you'd go to Heaven (1st John 5:13).
Salvation happens when a person acknowledges their guilt of sin, coming
to God on the basis of being a hell-deserving sinner; believing on
Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God to forgive their sins (Acts 10:43).
Salvation is receiving; not giving. Eternal life is the gift of God
(Romans 6:23). Salvation is freely given (Romans 5:15), freely offered
(Romans 10:13), and freely received (Revelation 22:17). We are saved
solely by Christ's righteousness, which is through faith in His precious
blood that washes our sins away. If you come to God as a guilty sinner
and believe on the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness, then you will
be saved. The choice is your alone to make friend. Will you accept
Christ's payment for your sins?
All God the Father asks is that you come to Him THROUGH His dear Son,
Jesus, the Christ, for forgiveness.
The fire and brimstone preaching.
