As usual, a modern translation free from archaisms helps us to understand... ESV: And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings. NASB: And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of...

Actually, it isn't taught because it isn't biblical truth. It's a misinterpretation of Scripture. No; Cain is indeed Adam's son. Don't even bother with the heresy that the serpent was Cain's father. If your pastor is teaching you this c**p, you would do well to leave that church and shake the...

Which Clinton? Wait... never mind. I don't want to know. ;)

Yes, of course their perspective was relevant. They saw Him go up from them, which is what He did. Your correlation is invalid however, because He ascended right in front of them. The sun is very far away, and that distance makes the perspective critical, because a different perspective would...

Not really... especially with this group. I think it attracts certain personality types, or perhaps certain types of brokenness.

So... why do you think their perspective is irrelevant with regard to the apparent movement of the sun?

To an observer on the surface of the Earth, which appears to move: the Earth, or the Sun?

God created Adam before day 7, not after. The detail of the creation of Adam is provided in chapter 2, which is after chapter 1, but there is no indication that it is a separate, subsequent event. Remember, the chapter divisions are not actually part of Scripture; they were added in about the...

I find it rather ironic that this has become an argument over the meaning of the phrase, "cherry picking".

What is the perspective of the writer in each of the verses quoted above?

Your pastor missed the point here. It appears that he prepared this "study" by taking each verse out of context and guessing what Paul means. He completely missed the relevant cultural context. Further, I'm guessing your pastor uses the KJV... and shouldn't. He should be using a modern...

Because of the way you phrased this, I will have to answer No... I don't agree. I'll respond to the first post to explain why.

Are these your own thoughts, or have you copied them from someone else? If your own, where did you learn the process of exegesis?

Let’s get something basic established here… the word is ‘canon’ as in a standard, not ‘cannon’ as in a heavy gun.

No; Bible verses being misapplied. There are two basic reasons why people might hate you: because they're evil; or because you are evil. Don't dismiss the second so easily. Many Christians are jerks and jackdonkeys because they have not submitted aspects of their character or behaviour to the...

This is rank heresy and will be reported to the Moderator as such.

No, it is not. The Bible is clear in stating that God made the earth in six days. The Bible is clear in stating that Jesus rose from the dead. What you claim here is the product of misunderstanding and misinterpretation. If you want to argue flat earth, we can do so in the Conspiracy forum. I...

Correct. Here we diverge. I can see the end of your trajectory, and with that I disagree, so I disagree with your starting trajectory.

Following up to my previous post, the flat earth hypothesis fits in the latter category. ;)

Do the phrases "come in" and "go out" somehow preclude the sun's disappearance over the horizon as the Earth spins on its axis, when viewed from the surface of the Earth? No. I suggest that if you want a serious discussion about creation vs evolution, you're going to have to leave the flat...
