Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Archaeology proves the Bible is right (AGAIN)

ringworm, you seem to be hung up on the existence of evil in the world. Can't you see that, since God created people with their own free will, some will choose to do evil things? Don't lay the blame for that at God's feet. CS Lewis wrote a great little book on this subject called "The Problem of Pain." I have an extra copy of this book too, if you want it.

Wyatt,


Speaking of trolls, how about this gem?

You should be ashamed.

CS lewis from The Chronicles of Narnia?
HAHAHAHAH!!!!
OH CHIT
LOL!
Thats great. YES YES YES reference me a guy who wrote a book about talking animals, fairey worlds, evil witches...
thats LIVE MAN!
LIVE!
I love it.
Hey If you like fantasy books I have a great one for you...
Once upon a time, this guy named jesus was hungry, so he walked up to a fig tree but the figs were not in season SO Jesus demanded the tree bear fruit. But the tree was to strong for Jesus magic and did not bear the fruit. And jesus got mad. and he killed the tree.
YEAH!!!
Our savior jesus, slayer of fig trees.


The force is strong with this tree, it denies me the figs of which i am hungry for. I shall slay the evil tree.
Guess what Jesus, I can kill a fig tree too. I can demand fruit from a barren tree and not get it, OOOOHHHH Miricle.
I can kill a tree to, with the power of god almighty and a Poulan.

It's not uncommon for authors to write in different genres, and it shouldn't surprise you that CS Lewis did. What's the big deal?

nothing, nothing, please...
go on.
Let me know when your done, I have a magical tale of flying wheels and wheels within wheels...

So you are suggesting that if an author has written a work of science fiction, then all of that author's writing should be interpreted as science fiction. That's a VERY bizarre hermeneutic you have there, sir. What possible justification do you have for that position? What basis for it?

I dont know. Possibly. L Ron Hubbard seems to have a grasp on it.

Really? That would relegate the Creator subservient to the creation. Can diests be so silly or could your assertion be incorrect?

Of course, Andy, C S Lewis couldn't've expected anybody to take Mere Christianity or The Four Loves seriously from the same ol' creep who'd give us books like The Screwtape Letters and The Chronicles of Narnia.



When the Saudi return crew took-over the 747SP for the flight back to Jeddah from JFK, the inertial navigation system (INS) was still set for the just-completed flight from Jeddah to JFK. Dang thing kept trying to turn the ship back to JFK. So the Saudis turned it OFF and navigated back to Jeddah without it. In Jeddah, they asked Sperry why it couldn't be permanently locked onto that easterly course from JFK to Jeddah.

"It can," Sperry said, "But what'll you do when you want to fly a westerly course?"

"Oh."

One-track minds abound, Andy, not only in Saudi Arabia.

I don't know much about any ism.I do know that God is only bound by his own word,which he will not break.

No, no! L. Ron Hubbard wrote a work of science fiction, Battlefield Earth. So by your hermeneutic, everything he wrote is science fiction and can't be taken as true. Try again.

Ken, you are a hoot, and I'm a better man from knowing you. Thanks!

And FWIW, let's not forget that the late Ian Fleming wrote not only the "James Bond � 007" books but also Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

(I haven't the foggiest notion what that means!)

This thread is ample proof that the discussion of Christianity will bring out both the best and the worst in people.
Those of you who sneer at Christians for "not seeing how stupid we are because we have faith that there is a loving God our Master"
succinctly prove the Bible is correct. Prophecy states we will be persecuted.
For those of you who don't believe in God, why the derision and sneering put downs? Does it affect your life? If so, how and why?

Most likely unwittingly you answered your own question. Fulfilling Biblical prophecy does not get done by itself. Somebody has to do it. Doing God's work is it's own reward.

No Yin without Yang.

Savvy?

Deists do not believe that God will break his own laws which of course include natural law. Most Deists do not pray for that reason other than maybe a prayer of thanksgiving because it can't hurt anything. To pray for God to break his own law is pure silliness to a Deist.

I'm merely answering a question nothing more nothing less.

Than I am not a Deist.I simply believe that God will not break his word.Most natural law though,is a result of the curse.God gets blamed for every bad thing that happens,when it is really a result of Adam's sin and the curse that man came under because of that sin.

If you think christians can be "persecuted" on an internet forum,then you better hope that "Rapture" deal is right.

R_H_Clark,

Your post seems to indicate you are not aware that God the Creator set up the rules and then created Adam. The curse was there just waiting to be implemented.

"'I am the LORD and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known Me; That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside Me. I am the LORD and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.'" Isaiah 45:5-7

What you fail to grasp is that this life is a test to see if you are compatible with eternally living in God's kingdom. If you study the Bible you would realize God created a number of intelligent beings, but only man was created in God's image. In doing so He gave man something very special and very dangerous. The Psalmist writes "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. � Psalm 139:14" Ignoring Calvinist dogma, that special and dangerous attribute is free will.

So God's eternal kingdom includes some number of human beings, each with free will. In fact, these people are joint heirs with Christ (Romans 8:17), children of God who will have authority to even judge angels (1 Corinthians 6:3).

How can God trust a person who won't trust Him? How can God elevate a person to such a high position who can't humble himself before God? If Jesus, the only begotten Son of God humbled himself before the Father how can anyone refuse to do the same, unless of course they are of a rebellious and prideful nature, you know, like the Devil. There can be no eternal peace in God's kingdom if it includes rebellious and prideful beings, so there's no place for them in God's kingdom. Hell was prepared for the Devil, not man (Matthew 25:41), but there's no middle ground. If you prove yourself unsuitable for God's kingdom you share the Devil's fate. It's not what God wants (1 Timothy 2:4), but He gave you free will to choose, so if you go to hell it's your own fault.

As I have shown you, God made sure no man could discover Him and come to Him by human knowledge, and if you want to understand this read 1 Corinthians 1:18-31. You accept or reject God on faith alone. To accept the foolishness of the Cross you must abandon your intellectual pride and humble yourself before God. It's where the narrow path to God's kingdom starts. I hope you choose to find it and follow it.
