truthseeker,
My question is as of today, as the account is obviously mentioned by Peter and Jesus, not hypotetically "if it wasn't referenced". Please stay on topic.
Should I infer from your response that the real answer is "Nothing"?
I've always believed the Bible is the Word of God. Perhaps if the flood account wasn't referenced by Peter and Jesus
Goes to show you cant always put trust and faith to what people say or write when they are talking about their select gods.
This would also make the story of Jonah being swallowed by a fish for a few days, only to have the fish spit him out completely
unscathed completely true. Or the talking Jack Ass or the talking snake or the talking burning bush or etc. ect.
Not to mention people getting resurrected from the dead, walking around like it wasn't a big deal.
EntirelyPossible , you have little or nothing to add of any value to this thread except to put down persons you disagree with using your limited three word vocabulary, "Fundies are dumb."
Ah, well, my vocabulary isn't limited to a mere three words. It's just that those three work so well. Let's try this again.
Despite the fact that you call yourself a truthseeker, you repeatedly ignore science, reason and rationality and instead expect us to give credence to ridiculous website that claim ancient Mayans had lightsabers. To sum up, fundies are dumb.
thetrueone,
I am talking about the only God in creation. Where's your faith?
You make mockery of the account of the talking serpent, Jonah in the belly of the fish and raising the dead.
God follows his own scientific creation in doing many things and when he veers off from the normal operation of something, that in itself defies the science created and is called a miracle.
An example of God following His own science of creation coupled with a miracle can be found in Luke 8:54-56: "So he took her by the hand and called out, "Child, get up!" Her spirit returned, and she got up at once. Then He gave orders that she be given something to eat. Her parents were astounded, but He instructed them to tell no one what had happened."
The raising of a dead vessel is not normal science that occurs on a regular basis.
In the case of anyone dying, their spirit is severed from the vessel which decays back to dust over a period of time, but a miracle was performed by the power of God through Christ.
The account continues: "Then he gave orders that she be given something to eat."
Nourishment is needed to sustain the human body and to motivate the digestive process. Her blood had not been circulating and was now doing so in the oxygenating process as she breathed again.
Now she was in unity with her flesh and blood and her spirit had been seared back to her body. Another reason she had to eat was because of her having been dead, it was to get the bowels moving again.
In these things God manipulated His science to perform a miracle over the dead girl's body.
Truthseeker - Please would you and other believers stop using the word "science". Its like somebody scraping their fingernails down a blackboard every time you abuse that word.
Just be honest and admit you couldn't care less about science or evidence - you take an old book literally and that's the end of it.
LMAO @ truthseeker
Dude, where did you learn such mental gymnastics? You deserve the uber medal.
The raising of a dead vessel is not normal science that occurs on a regular basis.
Oh come on now your really twisting the truth.
Her blood had not been circulating and was now doing so in the oxygenating process as she breathed again.
Wait a second how do you know that she didn't eat a big fulfilling meal just before she died.
If that was the case there wouldn't be a need or necessity for her to eat becuase the food in her stomach would just start digesting again.
I think you just adding to the story.
Awww ... the miracles of gods, I wish some of the gods would return and do some more miracles, its like been thousands of years now
since they've been around.
Do you think if I offered a burnt sacrifice in my back yard that one of them might come back.
This was commonly done for many of the ancient civilizations back then.
I like to know where your deriving this biological reference concerning people who have died and then miraculously
resurrected back to life. You seem to have some unknown valuable biological information that the medical health teachers could really use.
Its almost like your making up stories to create reverential importance to your god but you have absolutely no evidence to back
yourself up in support of what your saying. Am I expected to have faith in your words alone ?
truthseeker,
My question in post 658 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ stands. Please answer.
Thanks.
