in chapter 4 of luke it says jesus went into the wilderness and he ate nothing but fasted forty days and forty nights..
now i dont know about any of you but i once got on a 5 day liquid diet and only lasted 2 days.
i was so hungry that even when i fell asleep i started dreaming a hot brunette was handing me a couple of slices of pizza.
I have the answer: It did not happen. It was a tale that Luke took from a story teller, and the author of Matthew used too. Otherwise the earth would be flat:
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.... (Matthew 4:8)
before i get the "no it was not, because god does not exist and this is a writing of man", i am directing this discussion to those that either still believe, or need as many tools as possible to talk to a family member still in.. the purpose of my posting is to discuss what i believe to be a mistake on this book or, in the other hand, be corrected if i am not getting the entire picture.. in the book, chapter 19 "god's wisdon in a sacred secret", paragraph 10, it reads.... 10 second, the law thoroughly demonstrated mankinds need for a ransom.
a perfect law, it exposed the inability of sinful humans to adhere to it fully.
compare this with hebrews 7:11-12. jesus a priest like melchizedek11now if perfection was through the levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of aaron?
It was perfect for those men who wanted to have legal sex with more than one woman, but not necessary loving all of them:
If a man has two wives, and he loves one but not the other....(Deuteronomy 21:15)
it is no wonder the jewish leaders had ridiculous rules concerning the sabbath.
the following scripture alone should instill fear of those forsaking the sabbath.. (numbers 15:32-36)--"now while the sons of israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the sabbath day.
33and those who found him gathering wood brought him to moses and aaron, and to all the congregation; 34and they put him in custody because it had not been declared what should be done to him.
i found the following video not unbiased and with an agenda behind it.
however, i am mainly interested in the argument presented against "the law of superposition".

Sedimentary layers are deposited in a time sequence, with the oldest on the bottom and the youngest on the top.
However, the video uses particularly examples so as to invalidate this principle used for dating fossils. So my question is if you know of some reference which addresses this creationist argument?
if a bible writer / scribe refers to a particular book text or scripture by name , for one reason or another, shouldn`t that be a legitimate reason for including it in the bible cannon as a part of the bible ?.
just how many texts , books, scriptures are left out of the old testament bible that are mentioned there in and how many, if any are their in the new testament..
today i called to my sister and she told me that two elders went to her house to announce her that a judicial committe is waiting her in the kingdom hall this friday.
she told them that she will confirm if she will go.
