You would be surprised what fanatical Bible student I have been. I was a cutterhead builder for most of my working life. I worked in the wood industry sharpening knives for machines. Normally I worked alone in the grinding room. Over about three decades I wore out three cassette tape players listening to the New Testament. Just a few years ago my mind was still sharp enough if you read a chapter from the New Testament I could tell you which one it was. Often I could get it if you read only a verse.
At home I had a concordance, a couple sets of commentaries and at least four Greek language books as well as a very large Bible dictionary to help me. While my kids were growing up I got rid of the television and read to them in the evening. At the church where I attended during those years the pastor consulted me often about Scriptural subjects. I didn�t get spoon fed. I was the one doing the feeding. laffin' You're humble too...!

Pure, unadulterated baloney.
Either the world is 6000 years old and the dinosaurs never existed...or the dinosaurs existed 65 million years ago and evolution was the path God took to create the universe. You give a false dichotomy. There is at least a third possibility: God�s Word is correct and to be understood just the way He narrated the Genesis account to Moses. That means the dinosaurs were created on the sixth day along with Adam and Eve. Remember God instructed Job, starting in chapter 38, to consider several animals we are quite familiar with. They lived at the time. God finished with a couple very strange to us creatures. One was a fire breathing dragon and the other was an animal so large it had a tail like a cedar. I attended a lecture by an archeologists which did not include discussing the above. Never the less he did mention something to the effect, �If a legend shows up in five different cultures it is rooted in real history.� Fire breathing dragons are mentioned in Europe, England, China, Japan, Korea, Philippines and where else? Israel! If you do a search on BING you can find dinosaurs drawn on cave walls and pottery along side of animals we are familiar with. I saw a photo of a Catholic priest�s grave who died about five hundred years ago. It was adorned with various animals, including two dinosaurs. I remember one devout evolutionist who thoroughly believed in molecules to man. He once said, �I have no trouble believing in most of what Darwin said. But he was totally wrong about dinosaurs dying out millions of years ago. They lived with modern man.�

Like Regan said, "It's not that they're ignorant. It's just they know so much that isn't so." Good grief Ringman you are one scary dude. Nah, he ain't scary. He has his convictions and that's OK. You want to talk scary..?? Try those ISIS dudes in Syria and Iraq. Now, that's scary...!! Ringman won't cut yo head off with a finely honed Damascus blade...  DF

oh, I don't doubt your perspective for a moment.
who knows, in the world of kings, queens, and oil markets who knows what?
perhaps there's more going on than the mass media is telling us lowly commoners?
anyways, watch the oil markets, and gold prices. people who trade on such realities are messenging the whole world.
i shopped at the Kroger today, and they had a lot of marked down merchandise. but, what could that possibly mean??

Those people have NOTHING in common with Ringman.
Islam, the religion of "peace" cherishes death, the Judeo-Christian ethos cherishes life. Those are at opposite spectrums, poles apart as light from darkness.
That's why there will never be a true and lasting peace, no grounds for such...

I doubt we will have to but if The Lord should tarry, you never know

The extreme Muslim can not comprehend this concept.

Nope, that's not the 'only' thing he has in common with them, as mentioned in the original quote by billhilly...he has "an extremely literal and fanatical view" of the Bible, just as they have an extremely literal and fanatical view of the Koran.

The Bible says nothing about killing the unbeliever, antlers, as does the Koran. Are you stupid enough to not know that, or so dishonest you don't say the truth?

You read the post and that's all you got? No, I got more of your intentional misrepresentation of the truth, more of your deceit, and more of your disingenuousness that has continuously been displayed by you throughout this thread.

We weren't discussing the subject matter of the respective holy books eyeball. Clearly we were discussing the two party's literal and fanatical interpretation of their respective holy books. Now go back to cussing, calling names, lying...and at the same time professing your 'Christianity'. laffin'
