    Exploring the Relationship Between Adam's Initial Immortality and the Age of the Earth

    In which case you could still argue that the text says God made humanity...And then breathed a living soul into adam, which made for two clases of people. Those with living souls and those who dont. Its a very useful teaching to keep a certain people and culture separate from the less than...

    Exploring the Relationship Between Adam's Initial Immortality and the Age of the Earth

    But where are the pre 600bc sources for that definition (or any other claim, such as the meanings of other peoples names)

    Exploring the Relationship Between Adam's Initial Immortality and the Age of the Earth

    People forget you cant back date the meaning of words. The torah was compiled and translated during the Babylon captivity and we have but a few scraps of a handful of just mere characters of the language 800 year prior.

    Can an evil spirit acknowledge that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh?

    Not deceived believers but gnostics. Gnostics didnt disappear. Turned into jainism and then later islam

    Can an evil spirit acknowledge that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh?

    i no longer believe there is any test of spirits. however, a spirit from God will be patient with you and answer all of your demands in a righteous manner. demons in general, get angry when you question them.

    Do any Bible verses contradict a flat earth?

    Either you dont understand 4th grade geometry, or you are trolling. A flat universe means you continue moving in a straight line and you never return to where you started from. the surface of the earth being a sphere means you return to where you started from. It aint flat. Go take a hike up a...

    Do any Bible verses contradict a flat earth?

    People do more than just sleep.. in beds. So the idea that you can interpret that verse to mean day and night are at the same time somewhere on the earth is still a stretch.

    Do any Bible verses contradict a flat earth?

    Are there more flat earthers or 9/11 truthers on this forum? We could be on a flat earth, it just means the laws of physics make for the appearance of a spherical one. More like God playing a prank on us more than anything. Heck i mean, if we never went to the moon, then nuclear weapons...

    Trump lying to justify his reasons to bomb Iran.

    There is a book on the sinking of the uss scorpion you should read. Basically 50 years after, we now know who at the top of the navy compartmentalized information divisions... Confiscated all of the evidence, sent other ships out to go look for it in the wrong spot for 6 months.. because the...

    Dreams so real you can't tell they're dreams?

    Exploring the Relationship Between Adam's Initial Immortality and the Age of the Earth

    That was not my experience when an angel woke me up at 4 am in the morning over a comment i posted on a forum 13 years ago. What i believe now, is more along the lines if nt wright in his book a blessed hope.. god will restore this universe and it will not die the "heat death" of evaporation...
