Re: What is the aim of the mankind ?

Sorry , that is completely wrong . Your statement above is an assertion, nothing more nothing less, and there is no reason or logic to support that assertion. I used reason and logic in my post. You claim to be driven by reason and logic, and yet your response was merely an assertion with no reason...

Re: What is the aim of the mankind ?

What is our aim ? To reach the true(eternal) life . And what is the way ? With reason , logic and moral ( the best what we have from our Creator of the universe ) we can recognize it : We must learn to live in real harmony with his creation . Your answer to this question demonstrates that your reas...

Re: How did God become man?

Some thoughts... Philippians 2:5-11 5 Have this attitude [e]in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be [f]grasped, 7 but [g]emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the liken...

Re: Adam and Eve

Wow! I agree with almost everything you said,except for the last part about "out of Africa" are you talking about the imaginary mito-Eve that is yet to be found? If so? would'nt this cause problems biblically?Seems to me to remain biblical we need to reject the imaginary mito-Eve that was...

Re: Adam and Eve

This is a topic of recent interest for me, so let me jump in with some thoughts. Here is my understanding of what Scripture claims. 1. God created mankind in his image on "day 6" of creation. Genesis 2:4 shows that day/yom within the context of the creation account is not 24 hours, so ther...

Re: Dr. Norman Geisler: Noah's Ark Found???

He set the earth on its foundations, so that it should never be moved. You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. At your rebuke they fled; at the sound of your thunder they took to flight. The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the place that you ap...

Re: Dr. Norman Geisler: Noah's Ark Found???

The preflood mountains weren't as high as the ones that exist today. After the flood parts of the earth rose up to form the continents and islands that exist today. Of course these assertions are totally unsupported by Scripture, history, archaeology, and science. According to Scripture the earth r...

Re: Dr. Norman Geisler: Noah's Ark Found???

Genesis 7: 19- 20 or so " And the waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth, and all the high hills under the whole heavens were covered. The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward and the mountains were covered." So - how high is 15 cubits? Oh... about 20 feet... Which I think we would b...

Re: Dr. Norman Geisler: Noah's Ark Found???

OK, HOW high the water might have come is speculation. If that is the case would you agree with my assertion that there is nothing in Scripture to support an altitude of 12,000 feet? Which means that a height of 12,000 feet is not where Scripture says the ark came to rest. But one thing is wrong wi...

Re: Dr. Norman Geisler: Noah's Ark Found???

DBowling: As I mentioned above, this discovery is not where the Bible says it would be. The Bible does not place the ark on Mount Ararat. The Bible places the ark in the mountains of Ararat. Now yes, Mount Ararat is part of the mountain range of Ararat, but to say that the Bible places the ark on M...

Re: Dr. Norman Geisler: Noah's Ark Found???

I really don't know what might be up there. But IF there is a massive, boat-like object at 12,000 feet, with timber proven to date out to the correct time period, that is where the Bible says it would be - well, what other thing COULD it be? If it floats, walks like a duck, etc. It's not just enoug...

Re: Dr. Norman Geisler: Noah's Ark Found???

DBowling, there are problems with the linked site and the researcher/writer's assertions: Philip, I don't necessarily agree with everything at the linked site. I have tremendous respect for Dr. Geisler. However, I do agree with the premise that we must proceed with caution until we know all the fac...

I would also be extremely excited if Noah's Ark were to be found, however here is a word of caution from the Associates for Biblical Research web site. http://www.biblearchaeology.org/post/2015/10/21/Does-New-Eyewitness-Evidence-Point-to-Noahe28099s-Ark.aspx#Article I'll be very interested to see wh...

Re: Who did Adam and Eve's sons marry?

DBowling, This is an interesting topic for me. But, could you explain something about what you wrote here: DBowling wrote: Scripture tells us that all men were affected by Adam's original sin (Romans 5:12) and that all have sinned (Romans 3:23), so there is no line of humans who are not affected by...

Re: Who did Adam and Eve's sons marry?

Since I've interacted with this topic in a couple of other threads let me jump in here... If other humans had been created apart from Adam and Eve, it would have been important to record this specifically One could argue (and I do :) ) that Scripture does make reference to humans who were not geneti...
