What you are saying is that if the ancients possessed technical skills we don't know about those skills must have been acquired by other than the usual way technical skills are acquired.This is a logical fallacy. Show me where I said I expect people to take what I presented as fact. I have merely argue that it should be accepted full stop regardless of whether its correct or not. That it should be looked at with the same level of openness as someone would to anything. Not assume its BS before its even looked at.
So you have been sitting there stewing and laughing at your own strawmen you have created in your head over what you believe I am saying and not what I am actually saying lol.

This is a logical fallacy. Show me where I said I expect people to take what I presented as fact. I have merely argue that it should be looked at and give a fair chance regardless of whether its correct or not. That it should be looked at with the same level of openness as someone would to anything. Not assume its BS before its even looked at.Laughing faces, not smiley faces. Means that I find your commentary laughable and hilarious, light on facts and evidence.
You want to post commentary on a forum for physical and material science, then don't be a child and start winging petulantly because no-one takes your claims about 'advanced knowledge' and other such BS seriously without actual evidence.
Your entire line of logic is exactly as I said; you make claims and expect people to take them as fact just because you say so. That's not science in anyway shape or form. It's wishful thinking from you only.
I am going off the same article and it clearly says that Pierre Protzen had done tests. Just after his reference is linked it says "Even though their experiments have been able to shed some light on the techniques".No, he didn't do any tests did he? He just speculated. You were the one who brought him up, as if he supported your position.
Why would twist my word like that? I just don't understand why you would bring him up as supporting your argument.
We're done here.
The Body of Christ does not have the spiritual or material power or authority to make a social justice plan applicable to the world.Either way, as social beings who're responsible for being our brother's keeper, I'll definiterly come down on the side of nodding to the need for a soundly worked out social justice plan that correctly defines social justice such that coordinated efforts can be made to strive to right wrongs as the needs arise.
Thank you for your answer, Maria, and sorry to cause your trouble.Of course Allah exists for the Muslim just as G_d exists for the Jews and it is the same God that the Christian's worship however, the big difference is access.
" No one can come to the Father except through me". Jesus Christ of Nazareth
No access, not heard.
What you need to be concerned with is your attempt to test your Father through other means in other words, you think there is power where there is none and more egregious was your attempt to cause harm to yourself for proof.
Sorry to be so candid, your post was very unsettling.
Be blessed.
Good to see you are still with us besides the smiley faces lol.
You point out an important destinction. Well actually overlook it and assume its all make believe. I assume your talking about believing at face value what the ancients say themselves. What their experiences and beliefs are saying in the myths, legends and stories they tell.
This is a different kind of evidence to material science and especially the hard sciences like physics, engineering and chemistry in relation to the works.
But its not just make believe either. So its an important part of the evidence.
My main point was that this knowledge exists and its part of the equation in working out whether the ancients had alternative and advanced knowledge. Your can't just measure this by material science such as chemistry or physics. This does not tell us how they gained the knowledge.
Neither do you.Good to see you are still with us besides the smiley faces lol.

I think we can't separate proclaiming the good news from doing good for others, from fighting for victims against injustices done. Love simply calls for both. And, yes, the great commission is primary and we can only do as much as is possible for us to do but, if somehow we had the capability of reforming every soical evil then it would be incumbent upon us to do it. And in Matt 25 Jesus actually defined a criteria for salvation, separating the sheep from the goats, according to what they did "for the least of these".I agree that Christians are not called to apathy or indifference toward suffering. Scripture is clear that love for neighbor matters and that faith expresses itself through love (Gal. 5:6). At the same time, the New Testament places a clear priority on the mission Christ actually gave His church.
Jesus’ earthly ministry was unique and unrepeatable—He came to reveal the Father and accomplish redemption (John 1:14; John 17:4). After His resurrection, He did not commission His followers to reform every social evil, but to proclaim reconciliation with God through Him (Matt. 28:18–20; 2 Cor. 5:18–20). The apostles lived under brutal injustice, poverty, and oppression, yet their primary calling remained the preaching of the gospel rather than organizing political or social movements.
That does not mean Christians should ignore suffering or refuse to help where they are able. Scripture encourages generosity, mercy, and care for those in need (Matt. 25:35–40; James 1:27). But it also cautions us against assuming that we can—or are called to—carry the weight of every global injustice. We are finite, and God has not entrusted every cause to every believer.
Our role, then, is not to “do nothing,” nor is it to shoulder every moral crisis of the world. It is to walk faithfully in the good works God has prepared for us (Eph. 2:10), while keeping the gospel central. Social good can flow from transformed hearts, but it is not a substitute for the message of reconciliation itself (Rom. 1:16).
In short, Christians are called to act in love where God places them, without losing sight of the primary mission Christ gave His church—to bear witness to Him.
Good to see you are still with us besides the smiley faces lol.I see Steve's still going with the "These people and I say it's true, therefore you have to accept what they and I say. No investigating for yourself or let others investigate. Just accept what we say and that's it." line of bad logic.
So the people calling themselves Israel that waited at the bottom of the mountain and that Moses addressed were not Israel?Just like we are adopted in and part of the promises Gal3:26-29. Israel was never meant to be literal but represented God's people who He called Israel His son Exo4:22, if it was literal that would mean Adam.
Nope. Never taught that but you do as you ignore verse 28. You refuse to give up your legalistic ideology.And yet you teach that those who follow Jesus do not listen to His words Mark2:27
Already addressed these.or follow in His example Luke4:16 1John2:6 or believe His own written and spoken Testimony Exo31:18 that He promised not to alter His words Psa89:23 Deut4:13 why He says to hold fast My covenant Isa56:6 not toss it aside.
Exactly. Your argument is not scriptural. You read your doctrines into the scriptures and then pretend that error works. You need to actually read what the result of Jesus redemptive sacrifice means and what the actual definition and application of justification is.How does one address an argument that doesn't exist in Scripture. Trying to reason with someone who thinks their words are the same as God's words, is not fruitful.
We can’t reason together because you are a hostage to your legalistic doctrines. The Bible is super clear that the law is not part of the new covenant and that Christ nailed it to the cross. But you want believers to return to the law that profits nothing so that they can save themselves and become slaves again.This usually goes into the same place, and we are not able to reason together, so I am moving on. God will sort this out soon enough.
Actually, it's alledgedly Peter who said it. Paul just thought he was writing letters of advice to his various congregations. What Peter actually said was, "...just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him" which actually undercuts the notion that Paul's words were actually God's words. It doesn't help that while Peter's authorship of 1 Peter is regarded as established, the authorship of 2 Peter in which that quote occurs has been debated since antiquity.Again. So says Paul.
I find this whole thing rather meaningless. Trump cuts funding for addiction treatment programs to cover the tax cuts, and then makes this rather meaningless proclamation. No different than supply side economics, it's not supply that creates demand. It's the demand that creates the supply. We can't control what cartels do in other countries, that's a game of whack-o-mo. Shooting boats that aren't even headed to the US is just the nonsense Trump's Chief of Staff just laid out. We do however have the power to effect what happens within our own borders.yes, but he is trying to address the illegal version very different from the stuff used in hospitals and otherwise under medical direction.
I think Keras believes there will be a "day of the Lord" - which was what OT Jews were looking forward to - aka outpouring of God's wrath, THEN Jesus will return.Not sure what you're saying. You seem to be saying the Lord will send his wrath "like a thief" and the return of Jesus will not be like a thief.
You didn’t finish the circular logic. As long as we keep the law and are obedient. So you add to salvation by the grace of God through faith. Now it us salvation by faith and works if the law.
- Grace & Law: Grace isn't freedom from God's law but power to keep it. Christ's sacrifice made atonement, allowing believers to live righteously, not by earning salvation but by receiving God's imputed righteousness through faith.
The problem is the repeated, constant conflating all Muslims with Islamists.I've only repeated truth that has been going on for many centuries and are demonstrable facts. Facts that continue TODAY among the Islamist belief systems that have been and still are functioning in rhe world around us TODAY.
Are you just ignoring things on purpose? I think you are. Because I have said exactly what you just did. But you just ignored that.
I most certainly am not wrong about Islamists. They are the most dangerous groups in the world today. And they have been coming to the west in droves trying to alter our societies.
Denmark finally work up to the situation and others are starting to.
I can only give the reason quoted from the Bible.Sadly, Christians and Jews are hated for the wrong reasons. Not for being Christ-like. The most damning reason of hatred of Christianity is hypocrisy.
