Bastardizing Words : "The Truth"

All theology is dilettante.
The above is an untrue statement. Many theologians spend years of study and learn both Greek and Hebrew in order to honestly research the Bible so that it is properly understood to the fullest. And even then because to the living nature of the Holy Scriptures, the prophetic messages within the scripture may have more than one literal meaning that deserves further research. The Salvation Gospel message is right up front but the Bible still needs to be studied to further one's understanding and discover the proof in the details.
 
Animals DO NOT evolve from one type into another...

The moment you were born you began the first chapter of your story and you having been adding to it ever since .


How do you know that?
Because your story could have started at no other time .
The desire you have for conditions to be exactly as the time before you were born after you die , in effect to lay down in the grave and pull the dirt up over your head and hope that no one bothers you for the rest of eternity reveals your true "Truth".
Your truth being Fear.
 
Because your story could have started at no other time .
You have no way of knowing that.
You are the one who believes in supernatural realms.

Our “stories” could be as long as time itself. Earth could just be a extremely brief paragraph in that “story”.

But that wouldn’t fit in your limited and biased narrative so you’ll just ignore it all.
 
There’s factual and documented evidence that animals evolve.

You got nothing when it comes to anything supernatural.
Evolved from what exactly? What did my cat evolve from? Oddly, Jesus existed less than 2000 years ago. That is pretty supernatural. How many hundreds of millions of years ago is evolution said to have taken place? Now, I know you will say change happens every day. And I would say that uniqueness happens every day, but uniqueness is variety within a species --- not the drifting towards that of another new species...

How do you know that? How do you know that 'there must be a god' How do you know there is life after death. That sounds like a lot of claims that , well, just don't have support
 
Tht doesn't mean that the theology is true.
 
Pascal's wager you $50 bucks


 
Yep, as if that lot could be considered an authority on evolution. Pass.

Please note the following ---- if you dare:
 
Halakhah correct
Isaiah 29:13-15
13Therefore the Lord said: “These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. Their worship of Me is but rules taught by men. 14Therefore I will again confound these people with wonder upon wonder. The wisdom of the wise will vanish, and the intelligence of the intelligent will be hidden.” 15Woe to those who dig deep to hide their plans from the LORD. In darkness they do their works and say, “Who sees us, and who will know?”…


Isaiah 44: 24-26 24Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer who formed you from the womb: “I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who by Myself spread out the earth, 25who foils the signs of false prophets and makes fools of diviners, who confounds the wise and turns their knowledge into nonsense, 26who confirms the message of His servant and fulfills the counsel of His messengers, who says of Jerusalem, ‘She will be inhabited,’ and of the cities of Judah, ‘They will be rebuilt, and I will restore their ruins,’…


I Corinthians 1:19-21 19For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.” 20Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.…
 
And?? do you have a point besides out of context bible phrases? Theology by sound bits is not sound theology.

I believe that you take scientific data out of its context all the time to prove your agnostic views. I believe that the men who reject Jesus as being MESSIAH are really dishonest with what knowledge they do possess, and yet they go to extremes to abide by the LAW of Moses that they cannot possibly hope to accomplish on a daily bases.
