Howdy do!

Good one! 🤣

I don't know why any of those questions are asked about whether it is a baby or not. The only reason a woman has an abortion is because she does not want to give birth to a new baby. If it was a new pair of shoes no woman would ever have an abortion. 🤩 I haven't looked into it, but is it legal...

It's still right here in this thread for all to see. You were wrong.

Of which you clearly misunderstood and due to your incompetence of understanding you went on to make a false accusation of me. As far as I'm concerned you've conceded that you made a mistake.

I never said or implied it did, Clete. What I said to Idolater was that, just like him, I am also not against using extra biblical literature. And he knew what I meant because we have had discussion about it on other sites. How in the world did you come to the silly conclusion that meant I...

Just because you have not known anyone that will not use extra biblical literature to help them understand the Bible doesn't mean there are none. I have known some that wont, and I don't give a flying hoot if you believe it or not.

I do. I have known people who would not touch literature such as Enoch, Jubilees, etc. with a ten foot pole.

Here's a link giving several different bible translations. https://biblehub.com/isaiah/24-10.htm You will see that several bible versions translate the same word (tohu in Genesis 1:2) as chaos in Isaiah 24:10. Example: New American Standard Bible Is 24:10 The city of chaos is broken down...

I know my brief statement didn't express the scholars view in any detail. He didn't mean chaos of the deep as a crazy jumbled mess, but a lifeless and empty abyss with no structured order that could sustain any life. When God created, He placed put things in a structured order that would...

Yeah, in some sense I think it could be argued either way. Just as one could argue in one sense that killing Christ was a bad thing, yet Him being killed was a good thing. But God is so brilliant! "So, ye old serpent, you think introducing death to man is a victory for you? Let me show you that...

You know, there is a lot of speculation as to what was meant by "good" in the creation narrative. I remember what a scholar said years ago about it that I found to be interesting. He suggested that "good" could be viewed as meaning "orderly" since God created from the formless and void chaos of...

I'll bet there will be many more. Yeah, we have the sense of morality now and creatures do not. But did Adam & Eve know both good and evil before they ate the forbidden fruit? Can one be moral without knowing both? Yeah. If critters had any morality they would be pissed ----- "Dang humans...

Hmm, that's one of those type questions that could be answered in one sense by yes and in one sense by no. It seems to have been the plan of God all along since God planned the death of Christ before the foundation of the world. Life of a man (Adam) brought death and death of a man (Jesus)...

Yep, when discussing biblical terms of life and death, it can go in all sorts of directions. It can make one's head spin! Yes. Neither did Adam and Eve before they ate it. Exactly. Which makes it good to investigate every angle and perspective.

That's the question people are sharing their perspectives on ---- what did life and death mean in the creation narrative. If life and death for the creation narrative doesn't include corporeal physical life and death but is spiritual life and death, then there should be no objection to corporeal...

You weren't there with Adam & Eve. None of that excludes that God sometimes used a woman as leadership role of His people. You are mistaken to think I justify what either Adam or Eve did. None of that justifies what either Adam or Eve did. The same Paul wrote this to the whole church at...

I agree the term was used as an office title. The term is also translated as "elder" which can be used as an office title or just that you are an elderly person. Oh, and I am one that also thinks extra biblical sources can be very helpful in understanding how the ancients viewed meanings of...

Loss of life. Do animals? OK, but the tree of knowledge of good and evil also bore fruit, but that fruit wasn't supposed to be eaten by mankind. So let me go on a rabbit trail of investigation. Can we assume that particular type of vegetation was planted to be poisonous to mankind (mankind...

I love this wonderful statement: "shouldn't ever lose sight of the principles of grace". I offer further scripture of Paul addressing the church of Colossae in support of women in Christ being just as apt to teach: Colossians 3 (16) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and...
