FALSE TEACHERS

[Revelation]

Once again relying on science and logic while promoting the idea that only scripture has the truth…..it amounts to visible hypocrisy…..fundamentalism is committed to either/or while truth seekers consider both/and…….

regardless. we all are subject to error; in the end, the Bible says it and good enuf for me.

i think the World back then was in better shape and so were the people. check with any natural health people on that one.

some stuff that concerns are micro plastics inside all of us. if you know the issue of plastics, it becomes a lot clearer what we are dealing with.

how long did it take to get the Lead out of gasoline.

the list goes on. and somebody like RFK tries to help us and the sheep go wild because of Pharma brainwashing.

we can't have it both ways my sheep friends. in general, sheep would rather die than think, so they do.


blessings.

Much of what you describe illustrates the tradeoff that is made in the name of progress. Our grandparents knew little of this. But at some point every aspect of progress occurred because of the love of money……no one should be surprised by the trajectory of the world. Perhaps, IMO, the worst will come in the area of education….each electric advance seems to nullify personal incentive and motivation.

Oh, so you wonder why man and dinosaurs are not found together. Would you seriously wish to live among dinosaurs. Where I live we have a serious problem at times with Turkey Buzzards. They will pick a small area and roost there again and again and again. They grew attached to a tree in my neighbors yard and they would sit there and poop, and poop and poop. It looked like someone spilled white paint. Well the very same is true of all animals. And the bigger the animal, the bigger the problem can be. I'm sure various dinosaurs loved various fruit and vegetables, and so they certainly could mess one's garden if they found something they enjoyed.
.
The point is, humans likely lived in areas away from dinosaurs. I would like to live around one. As a kid we lived by a dairy farm, and certain time of the year and defending on the wind, it was like the skunk of the neighborhood. Anyway, man likely lives well away from dinosaurs, though perhaps Noah used one or two big ones to help build his ark ----- I mean elephants are used in various countries to lift and move. It's rather neat how creative our minds work if one is allowed to imagine just for a moment. Well, anyway. GOD sent young smaller dinosaurs to come to the ark. The storms, earthquakes, geysers eruptions came and anything outside the ark scattered. Man went to higher ground and eventually became food for the fish. Dinosaurs were buried in mud early on by tsunami and that is not unimaginable. The bigger the animal the more likely it was for it to become a fossil, The quicker animals were buried, the more likely they became fossilized. Man simply isn't going to sit around. I sure they had boats and rafts, but these wouldn't last long.

SO, if this doesn't answer your question, you are going to have to spell it out. And if you are thinking that there are millions of years between such fossils, think again. What is actually being measured is the makeup of the surrounding mud now solidified into stone and the minerals leeched from the surrounding forming rock by rain. etc... It's not the actual age of any fossil/bone found. And since GOD originally made the rock, stone, etc., that turned to muck by the raging waters, it's the guesswork of evolutionist and geologists who have preconceived notions about how long it originally took "nature" to make various rocks. But "nature" didn't originally do it ----- GOD did, and that is where my faith begins to show.

So, I present this to YOU, but even if YOU don't care -------- there are others visiting here who may.

This is where reality and myth are at odds. Dinosaurs are believed to have gone extinct 65,000,000 years ago and the earth, according to the Bible, is slightly younger , being 6,000 years old……a slight discrepancy ..??

No, I don't. Why start with a false premise which shows the rest of your argument can be dismissed?

It would seem someone made an error. Do you imagine it to be GOD? But the reality is that since I believe that GOD exists, there is no need for more time ------ and frankly, having more time isn't the issue. If one cannot fabricate a living organism from water, inert matter, and electricity -------then neither can "nature". Which means after 1 million years you'd have at best a dead planet. 2 Billion years later, you'd still have a dead planet ------ and so the myth of evolution could never get started. But it gets even worse. We really do not know how the sun began or the planets were formed (only pure "educated" speculation). So, you haven't gotten to the point where "nature" can be blamed for biology. You are faced with educated guesses ------ and that ain't real science! Science fiction maybe, but certainly not something tangible.

So why believe anything at all? My story is more interesting than yours, and I have JESUS on my side of the equation.

Tries to have it both ways while declaring we cant. How come it's Christians who need a shepherd if they are not sheep?

Well biblical literalists require us to see the world through the bible regardless of what our own eyes see and what our own ears hear. The bible as interpreted by them requires you to not trust your own judgment on anything no matter how much the evidence. That is sort of how the bible is written at face value. Like i could be as nice as can be but if jehovas witnesses find out im never joining their group that is evidence that im somehow of the devil.

It requires us to believe that all evil is caused by a single event or a singular nemesis which i find increasingly hard to believe.

I think I get your point. You're saying empathy is restricted somehow by some biblical interpreters. I'd say you're correct.

But I'd respond that those particular interpreters have come to the Bible with a black heart, seeking to justify the blackness.

Of all NT themes, the most consistent NT theme, is an injunction to be like Christ who was much more than empathetic. He loved everyone to the very end, who laid down his life for all of us.

Those that tease this Christ out of their interpretations do so at their own peril. They're in danger of becoming the same type of person who put him in the cross.

God doesn’t explain anything at all. It is the lack of an explanation. It is a lazy shortcut that discounts the intelligence of human beings and their ability to figure things out about physical reality. Your ability to post here shows that human science actually does figure things out.

So why believe anything at all?

Exactly! PHILOSOPHY Why Believe Anything at All?

In my view, religious beliefs are some of the most significant beliefs to think about. In religion we consider life’s most important issues like origin, meaning, and destiny. So, why do you hold your particular religious views? If you answer with reasons like sincerity or tradition, this is not sufficient. When it comes to our religious beliefs we do not want to focus on the sincerity of those beliefs. We do not want to believe them simply because someone told us to. Rather, we want to know first and foremost whether those beliefs are true or false. If we come to discover that our religious beliefs are false, then we ought to let go of those beliefs no matter how dear they are or how sincerely we have held them in the past.

Buddha talks about this too, but I doubt you're up to accepting opposing views.

Its a bit more than empathy really, its that in order to really go along with their interpretations i must hold that some person is exactly this way no matter the evidence provided.
