    Struggling with this odd situation.

    I'm surprised this hasn't been said yet, but have you considered she is cheating on you? I've known many family members and friends of friends where the reason for a complete stop of physical intimacy is because of that. I'm not saying that is what is happening, but if I were you, I would at...

    God Created Evil

    Yes, but even these well-educated seminary graduates disagree on many things. So it doesn't seem like your point, hyperbole or not, is a strong argument.

    God Created Evil

    Sure not literally a physical bible. But the words in the bible. They are the word of God inspired by Him. It seems like your counter-argument I quoted in my last reply was that just because it is in the bible, doesn't mean that it is accurate? Because I was replying to your response to "There...

    God Created Evil

    John 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

    God Created Evil

    An important distinction, but why do you come to the conclusion that calamity is correct and evil is wrong? Because of the way other translations use calamity instead of evil? Or is there more study?

    God Created Evil

    If that's the case, you are inferring that teaching pastors at thousands of churches all don't read their bibles. Including ones that graduate from seminary schools with M. Divs. It's not simply people are not reading their bibles. It is definitely that not everything is black and white and cut...

    Question for my Democratic friends

    Did anybody answer the OP question?

    It's been announced today that Joe Biden has "Covid" possibly his great disappearing act is now taking place?

    And what if he doesn’t step down but has a medical reason for discontinuing? Could that be conspiracy?

    It's been announced today that Joe Biden has "Covid" possibly his great disappearing act is now taking place?

    Curious what you think. Do you think Joe Biden is going to stay as the nominee through the whole election? And do you think, if he doesn't, that it is conspiracy or something else? *just genuinely curious

    Why is Christianity declining?

    Yeah I think at the very least have more discussion surrounding these things would be great.

    Why is Christianity declining?

    Except old earth theology doesn’t really answer the question well. So accepting it doesn’t help. I believe there was a recent survey done and scientific revelation has been a large reason for the decline. I think Barna group or somebody did the survey.

    Why is Christianity declining?

    I think it is because there are apparent issues within the Bible that are not properly addressed. Today, with modern science, it is becoming hard to reconcile things such as the age of the Earth, a global flood, and evolution with the Bible. As somebody who has been a Christian for 15 years...

    How many of you get confused as to what denomination you are actually in?

    I've never bothered to align to a denomination but I'd be interested in taking the quizzes to see where I align.

    Couldn't God have just re-created all the land animals after the flood?

    Everybody in the world saw the building of the ark but did not believe in God or Noah?

    Hearing the voice of God on certain topics

    I'd be wary of somebody saying they hear the voice of God, to be honest. I think we just have to do the best we can using God's Word and counsel from other brothers and sisters. Considering the 40,000+ denominations, I would say it's unlikely people are actively hearing from God audibly. Unless...

    Exodus 31:17 "in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth"

    The layers in the Grand Canyon were not made during a flood. Nor did the canyon erode away because of a *global* flood. The canyon was made through erosion of what we have as the Colorado River. There are also fossil records of crawling/walking animals and evidence of rain in different layers...

    Exodus 31:17 "in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth"

    As somebody who believes in a young earth, does that mean you also believe in the global flood happening around 2500 BC?

    Exodus 31:17 "in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth"

    How do you reconcile what we know about the fossil record, light traveling from so far away and reaching us, and geological evidence like carbon and radiometric dating?

    Exodus 31:17 "in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth"

    It's a topic I struggle with myself. I'm not sure how to reconcile fossil & geo records with Gen 1 other than to do what you are also doing. The dilemma I face with that, is that the author seems to be implying an actual account with literal days. And the only reason to not interpret it that...

    Exodus 31:17 "in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth"

    What exactly leads you to believe you should not read straight forward historically Genesis 1? So far, I understand you saying it is because of our observation of Earth (fossil & geo records), but perhaps there is more? I'm just trying to better understand why you don't take a straight forward...
