There is no indication that other animals in the garden could talk. There is plenty of indication that the serpent was not an ordinary snake, but rather a divine being. I'd recommend you read Michael Heiser's The Unseen Realm for further insight on this issue.

They can't.

It is no less simple, elegant, and majestic (more so) for the Lord to cause the sun to appear to stand still in reality. I don't see why you and others have so much trouble understanding that the event in Joshua's time was a miracle and that the normal laws of physics were temporarily suspended...

I don't have a favourite. I use whatever is close to hand, though for regular reading I'm currently using an ESV.

Galatians 3:10. Deal with it.

Scripture says otherwise: Galatians 3:10 All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the book of the Law." (emphasis added). You either do EVERYTHING under the Law, which is impossible, or you are...

While that aligns with the Old Covenant commandment, where is a comparable principle noted in the New Testament?

The commandment is from the Lord, not from the husband.

Read Galatians, especially chapters 2-4, and Hebrews, especially chapter 8. Your answer is there. :)

Hello and welcome to CC... Who is "we" in your questions? Humans? Jews? Ancient Israelites under the Law? Christians? The answer to your question is dependent on your answer to mine. :) If "we" is 'Christians', then we are not under the Law. I would encourage you to consider Colossians 2...

Serious Bible students aren't stumped in the least regarding the age of the Earth, because the '4.5 billion year age' is complete speculation based on unscientific assumptions. Anyway, we're hijacking this thread now. I suggest we leave off this topic, or continue in an appropriate thread.

Only if you hold to the unscientific and anti-theistic idea that 'the present is the key to the past'. ;)

Great question. I wonder if any atheists will step in and answer for themselves.

I saw this thread title and immediately thought of 'ScaleXtric' cars... I suspect that wasn't the OP's intent. My brother sold a few things and bought a Tesla earlier this year. He's very happy with it (and enjoys the ability to tromp anything else in a friendly drag off the line). He lives...

My single-female neighbour adopted two girls - sisters, and seems (from the outside) to be doing a fine job of raising them. I do agree that it's better for a child to have at least one parent who loves them than to live in "the system". It's not for everyone though. Some singles would not make...

Agreed that it is mutual. However, happiness is not a biblical command; respect is. Why act in a way that will make it difficult for your wife to respect you?

How, in your view, is this a problem for "young-earth theorists"? I don't see any problem at all. Remember that whole 'global flood' thing back in Genesis? Well, that is a more-than-adequate explanation.

The sun's position relative to the OH is not an "interpretation". And? Is God not able?

Hi Sridatta, It appears that you are drawing from a belief system other than biblical Christianity. Any teacher with the title "Yogi" would be associated with a form of Hinduism. Hinduism and Christianity are not compatible in any way. We believe there is one God, not many, and that He came...

I see no reason to speculate on someone else's interpretation.
