20Unbelief and Salvation
by lriddle80 inhebrews 6:4-8. for it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the holy spirit, 5 and have tasted the goodness of the word of god and the powers of the age to come, 6 and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the son of god to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.
7 for land that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, and produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from god.
8 but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, and its end is to be burned.. but then i read articles that say that you cannot lose your salvation and that this scripture isn't talking about that.. but then 2 timothy says.

Once again people who are enthralled by Iron Age myths think they know more about biochemistry than research scientists.
I just gave you a scientific explanation of how oxidised soft tissue can avoid degradation inside a mineral shell for millions of years. Your response was devoid of content,

Then pray god gives you an answer to why he approved of slavery and infanticide. That would be a massive help.

In brief - ageing is largely caused by free radicals produced by respiration. Oxygen kills us in the end. Iron in our cells is kept locked up to prevent it reacting with free oxygen radicals. Despite this and other protective measures our cells age and one effect is increased cross-linking of collagen. We get wrinkles!
At death the highly reactive iron is released and causes proteins and cell membranes to tie in knots - an action that mimics Formaldehyde thus preserving amino acids and therefore proteins.
It is a brilliant and fascinating discovery that allows investigation of samples that are millions of years old, previously thought impossible. It offers no comfort at all to Iron Age creation myths.

"Independent" Scotland joke!
by BoogerMan inhumza yousaf, scotland's first minister, said: "scotland, i'm afraid, is suffering because we are not independent.
" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-66012834.
try telling that to scotland's tourists and many island communities: the ferry services are dying month by month, and the two new overdue & over-budget ferries justify a serious legal/criminal enquiry.. any bunch of incompetents who can't provide a small country with a ferry service and a legally binding contract to build 2 new boats - having controlled scotland since 2007 - has no credibility in claiming they could run a country!.

But BoogerMan think of all the cushy jobs those phoney embassies create for SNP cronies.

Once you've tasted the goodness of God and seen the miracles. I couldn't do it knowing what I know now
Once you've understood how the bible promotes slavery and infanticide and how an all powerful and loving god is incompatible with reality I couldn't go on believing.

we will never know the full truth if intelligence was involved or was it all blind chance ... please don’t mistake this view as denial of scientific discoveries or denial of well established facts
We absolutely do know. It is exactly the same as the 'full truth' that the earth is not flat- EXACTLY the same level of evidence. How are you in any position to comment since you have never read a single book on the subject?
You ARE totally in denial of some of the best established facts in the history of science.
It matters for lots of reasons.
- There was no Adam and Eve
- Humans were not a special creation
- We did not fall from perfection
To name just three.
You can believe what makes you comfortable but you can't expect to be taken seriously when your worldview is predicated on the denial of simple irrefutable facts. 3.78 million scientific papers!
Your second post makes no sense at all because you don't understand the connection between design and natural selection. How could you unless you made some effort? I also think you should google 'false dichotomy'.
