The apparent speed of light is believed to be constant, but it is still subject to God. He says the stars were created on the fourth day, and He says everything was created in six days. I’m quite confident that if God created in six “eras”, several passages of Scripture would be different...

You’re setting up Peter’s sermon as an unalterable schedule of events instead of accepting both passages as true and consistent. The text clearly states that Cornelius and his companions were filled with the Holy Spirit prior to being immersed. It’s twisting Scripture to suggest otherwise. Just...

It doesn't need to be. There were about 1500 years between the creation and the flood. The pre-flood sea bed could be what is now at the top of Everest.

Unless I have completely misread your point, the words in bold directly contradict what Scripture states: 10:44 While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. 45 The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of...

You make assertions with no evidence... because there is no evidence. "Sun" set and "sun" rise, no, but there was light, and that's all that is needed for there to be evening and morning. So again, you have no case. Only if you impose a modern understanding of the terms, and fail to...

Asinine assumptions.

Which you didn’t.

You lost me at ‘Pepperidge Farm’. 😕

Gas? From the one throwing insults? Look in the mirror.

Indirect, but no less unmitigated and unfounded slander. Have you ever asked an egalitarian why they believe as they do instead of assuming they are biased from the outset?

All preferences aside, “meatloaf” just sounds wrong. Perhaps if it were given a more appetizing name, it would have fewer haters. And, sorry, “protein bar” is taken, though that is equally wrong.

Huh?

Mhmm. And, unfortunately, most pastors don’t teach from the pulpit either; they spew ‘edifying messages’, leaving their congregations hungry for truth.

It is indeed a double standard. Don't bother asking for scriptural support for it though; there isn't any, as I'm sure you know. If the complementarians were consistent, they would make sure that any teachers of tweens (or older) were male. Oh... wait... that would mean they would have to find...

If you have read the Bible through in another translation, likely the only help you might beed is a good dictionary (or an internet connection). If you are new to reading Scripture, start with a modern translation. Again, if you are familiar with Scripture, you will notice some differences in...

Yup. Here is your first response from the other thread in its entirety: And here are your words from this thread: You did exactly what you decry. After I questioned you, you provided your rationale, which was thin on evidence and thick on hearsay. You did not provide even a single...

With the tiny bit of respect that I can muster, you are being hypocritical. You dismissed C.S. Lewis entirely with no evidence provided.

Sorry, I was not intending that as criticism or personal feedback but rather general comments on the subject.

Welcome to Canada. :cautious:

Fair points. I would not agree with Lewis on the matter of "inclusion by sincerity", though at the same time, God's mercy is likely somewhat wider than mine. I think that reject of all of a person's writings just because there are some secondary points that are off is the path to...
