'cannot not be' means 'you are' also part of one of them, if you die at least you get a reason other than because Adam did. It doesn't matter, just checking to make sure yo know you are a member of one of them.
Cliffy;1681315]Evolution involves a conscious effort. The biosphere, of which we are but a tiny part, is the source of life on this planet. As it evolved, it became more and more complex. It became aware long before humans even began their evolution. Are we the only species that is self aware in this biosphere. I don't know, but it has been suggested that, because of the ratio between brain mass and body mass, whales and porpoises could also be self aware. To me, they re smarter than we are because they don't fret, are not as anxious or wonder why so much. They just eat, mate up to 50 times a day and play all the time, which leads me to believe they may be more evolved than we are.
Leaky got lucky in the rift, there are human remains scattered all over the globe. we've been here and there for a very long time.It duzen't. It is just the commonly held belief that humans came out of Africa. I personally think our presence happened quite differently.
A giant ball of burning gasses.
The serpent in the garden is the example of being believed and until the flood happened they were the kings of the earth and there are enough references to show that they are supernatural as far as we are concerned but they are as weak as we are when it comes to God's ability to move physical things around, but never without saying what will happen first. The Bible start out with, ... God said, ..... an it was so. A two step operation that has a start and an end, literally. The Bible is full of examples and one of the first is the two bruises verse in Ge:3:15. The way it actually works out that all the people given names an places are a record of how they and the ones in the 4 Gospels and until Acts 10 is a complete story of how the bruise to the heel was 'said' and then 'done'. That also means having the ability to let the verses tell the story before they 'get modified to the correct version'. The mythology version was at least started by the end of the exile into Babylon. > For myself going with anything other than a flat-out literal version is a sure road to an improper understanding,< some 40 Scribes but the prophecies they wrote about came from one single mind so all are needed before any can be properly understood. Nor does it take long. Da:7 comes with a vision and an explanation. Are you going to try and promote the explanation is a vision rather than a reference to literal 'things'? The same can be said for the same thing but in Re:17 with the dragon and the harlot. The iron in Da:7 and the dragon the very same being rather than two different ones, selective viewing that comes from seeing the same event from a slightly different perspective. For the references in the OT for 'day of the lord' you are looking at slightly more than 20. Same event but from the view of the 20 different groups that will be there to see the events become real. Know that really big block of stone in Lebanon, think of 10 being an armful. We would measure each one as being 50 million horses just so they cannot be anything but supernatural, in prophecy and against out best armies it will be total surrender within 1 literal hour. God puts that sort of detail in to stop readers from being deceived. Much of the world that have heard of God do not know a deception comes before the gathering. The best part of that is it shows that only somebody who knew all the details to the end of Re:22 could give a verse like Ge:3:15 and have all the words in a big book cover the details of just those two events, with the exception of just the last 3 chapters that when read with just the first 3 chapters is the pamphlet version of the Bible. Men could never foresee that sort of little detail, or not so little if you are looking for proof of God.

@Cliffy. I don't know where my reply went but just to say that rather than Karma I was thinking about the equal and opposite reaction people give to our actions.

@DL "Yes. Eden is a myth that Christians have used in the literal way to denigrate and discriminate against women and gays from day one without just cause. If God is walking and talking to all those Christians, one would wonder why he has not corrected them?

Best not to judge then DL!
What?!?! I'm a Christian and I do not discriminate against either.
To me... it looks like Ian is schooling you so you have to bring out the stereotypes.
Looks like YOU need a Theology lesson instead of spreading your message of hate.
God’s law versus secular law.Which is moral?
Our literature is rife with criticisms of God’s laws denouncing them as immoral.
This is mostly done by non-believers and secular law makers and even many believers. The whole world has rejected the morality of God’s law.
Satan shall deceive the whole world. That is scripture.
Believers say that God’s laws are moral; yet very few believers are trying to push for adoption of God’s laws by secular governments.
If believers believed that God’s laws are moral, it follows that they would be trying to have them implemented by governments. Strangely, they do not.
Can a believer believe in God yet not believe in his laws?
No believer is living by God’s law.
If believers believe in God’s laws, should believers be living by them?
Law without punishment is impotent law.
Should believers demand that secular law use God’s punishments where those few laws are basically identical?

All gods are "supernatural", or a better term would be "surreal" as they are made in the human image. People have been inventing gods from day 1 and initially it's a result of not being able to explain what is not understood. Science has been taking apart these gods and the "unexplainable" and disspelling the myths of them.In your version of the world God would have come into being the day a group that formed a primitive society and came across something like this. It is not much different, supernatural Gods that are missing in action for a very long time
Is that supposed to men we are following to book to the letter or we haven't got a clue about what we should be doing? ?
Nope, I don't. Everything we do, say, think, etc. is as a result of our DNA and the electrochemistry in our brains and has been ever since our brains perceived our very first experiences.I think you have this backwards friend.
That does not disprove what I said. The Uncertainty Principle simply states that we influence what we observe.
Go right ahead.I even have a little test that proves you have free will.

They were set up? As the story goes they were told not to.
As a parent would tell a child... don't touch the stove. When they do they get burned. Simple logic.
Who would be this God of which you speak ?? Sounds like my old grade 2 teacher. Nasty old bitch.

We can only react one way to any circumstance. People can imagine they have choices in things but in the end they choose the only way they can choose. People can only do something because their brain tells them to.

Go right ahead.
That would serve the religious forces of evil well as they judge women and gays inferior and subject them to unjust discrimination.
Let me set the logic trail.
We can only give up what we have.
If I have an apple and am asked to give it up I can.
If I do not have an apple and am asked to give it up, I cannot.
If you have free will, you can give it up to someone else.
If you do not have free will then you cannot.

They ignore the part where they have to explain all the really old places and how they were built when we were supposed to be less capable back then than we are now. If we can't do it how would somebody walking around in 4,000 BC be able to do it? What would he 'say' if he just found them as deserted places?All gods are "supernatural", or a better term would be "surreal" as they are made in the human image. People have been inventing gods from day 1 and initially it's a result of not being able to explain what is not understood. Science has been taking apart these gods and the "unexplainable" and disspelling the myths of them.
You must remember what she taught you, was it right or was it 'by the book'? (you can leave out the finer details of how the many detentions went)Who would be this God of which you speak ?? Sounds like my old grade 2 teacher. Nasty old bitch.
I love his vids, lol He pointed out that the Christians that worship Jesus (rather than a one true God) are actually worshiping a Jew. I can go along with that, does it come with tax and banking rights would be something a Christian would have to disclose. Probably wouldn't go over all that well.It means that if you are not using the Jewish interpretation of their own book then you are reading it foolishly.

They simply don't have all the information available to be able to explain those fantastic builds. That in no way means that gods and such crap are real.They ignore the part where they have to explain all the really old places and how they were built when we were supposed to be less capable back then than we are now. If we can't do it how would somebody walking around in 4,000 BC be able to do it? What would he 'say' if he just found them as deserted places?
^ is pure rationalisation.That isn't proof of the Bible but to debunk the Bible you have to have an argument to debunk, modify the story based on the actual words and that is what should be the base. The exodus has places named that can be found on a bible atlas.today. Moses and Co booked it south off-road from the named place but he camped beside the first body of water and that is the water that God parted by sending a strong wind from the east and that is what parted the waters. In the maps of those named places is a large lake with a narrow spot, a wind from the east would blow the water back so the wet sandy bottom was exposed and when the wind stopped the water that had been pushed into the larger part of the lake came rushing back in and good-bye soldiers.
Did Moses think this up while out for a stroll?

I don't know but I would shove back.If I offered you a shove right now what do you think it would be for?
I'm not in a hole. I am above ground.1) help you dig the hole you are in a little faster
Why would I want to bury you religious people? You amuse me.2)help you fill in the hole you are digging
What shovel?3) change what the shovel is moving
Will myth rule the day over myths? That definitely sounds like "faith".May free will rule the day over preconceived illusions.
