Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Evolution is a myth? Please explain:

The ones written by liberals determined to destroy the country, like you?

Pass.

Believe as you like. As a Christian I don't judge you, condemn you or even reproach you. That's way above my pay grade. And any Christian that does otherwise is in peril of the sin of pride.

Where is (good) evidence there is no existence after death?

Where is your (good) evidence you will not exist in a state capable of experience?

Where is your evidence that you won’t find out?

If you claim God doesn’t exist, you bear the burden of proof. Your evidence for atheism is missing. I have yet to see scientific evidence that God doesn’t exist.

Your convince-me scientific mindset is growing wearisome...

Nobody is "controlled" by the Holy Spirit. Guided maybe, but not controlled. You are free to ignore your guide's advice.

Well, maybe there’s another way to look at this..... perhaps the being that was ....created....has a responsibility to the one who created him and will indeed be held accountable for the life he has been given?

CONTROL {def}

the power to influence or direct people's behaviour or the course of events.

to exercise restraining or directing influence over.

To adjust to a requirement; regulate.

*****
Jesus received the holy Sprit at his baptism and he was clearly influenced by it when being led
into the wilderness.

You would have to be a goose to say Jesus was not controlled/directed/steered/guided by the Spirit in some way.

That's quite a leap. From science to destroying the country.

So in Heaven you are able to do all the wrong things that you do on Earth....That pesky free will at work, making wrong decisions.

You keep anthropomorphizing God. God is infinite. Therefore what we call good and what we call evil are created by Him and for Him. We humans are closer in likeness to a dirt clod than we are to an Infinite God.

If you read the book "Genetic Entropy and the Mystery of the Genome" and don't reject evolution you choose evolution over the facts, not because of the facts. Try not to disparage the author. He is way ahead of you in education and perhaps intelligence. After all in invented the gene splicing gun and has at least seventy patents in that area.

Well put.

In this life I get drunk as often as I want. I commit adultery as often as I want. I exceed the speed limit as often as I want.

You don't understand. Spirit filled individuals don't want to do those things.

C'mon, we all know what control, as in I control that radio control toy truck, means. Jesus could have said screw it, I'm going fishing with my buddy Peter.

The hell they don't!

I will stick to adullt dictionary definitions.

control = steer = direct = influence = guide= adjust = regulate.




People who use hunting guides or PHs, ..are they controlled like a radio controlled truck?

or do they put themselves under the control/inifluence of their guide/PH..?

The definitions you like anyway...

1. the power to influence or direct people's behavior or the course of events.
"the whole operation is under the control of a production manager"
synonyms: jurisdiction, sway, power, authority, command, dominance, domination, government, mastery, leadership, rule, reign, sovereignty, supremacy, ascendancy, predominance, hegemony; More

So you don't accept the widely accepted definitions of CONTROL that the educated informed world goes by.

It’s real grace that changes a believer. The transformational power of our rebirth in Jesus is what keeps us from continuing to sin (as before the Holy Spirit connected us to God).

We’re still sinners in sinful bodies, but now we have the Holy Spirit within us to guide, direct, and and prompt us along the rocky road of life.

As Flip Wilson said, "The devil made me do it!" Guess that makes everything evil the work of the devil, not man's.

Not to mention the liberal part as well. Biology is the same in every country, every political party.

What I don't accept is cherry picking alternate definitions to force the result you want. To the common meaning of control on par with with "suggest" is absurd.
