  i've been called a "fundi" many times in my discussions with people on the board, and i'd like to know what your definition is of a "fundi".

  don't google it.

  i just want to hear your personal definition.. i find it interesting because i don't go to any church.

  Have you ever made a list of what parts of the Bible you disagree with PSac? It'd be interesting to see what parts you like and what parts you don't.

  Sir82, silly silly example. That was not a parable. It was very clearly a metaphore. The rules of hermeneutics state that you take something literal unless it is clearly indicated that it is not literal. If I said that you are a strong rock, you know that I'm being metaphorical and not being literal. Silly...

  See, PSac, that just doesn't fly with me. If the writer of Genesis says that all flesh was destroyed, then when I find out that NOT all flesh was destroyed, why believe ANYTHING he says? Why am I the one that misunderstood? If the Bible says that the universe was created in 6 days and is confirmed even more clearly in Exodous 20:11 - For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy" ....then why am I the one that misunderstood the word "Day"?

  That sounds like a cop out to me. If something is shown to be false then why do I have to figure it out to make it fit when it goes against what was actually said?

  Ok...so I'm reading Age of Reason...and it's not adding up so far. If he finds all religions thought so "laughable" (Christian, Muslims, Jews, etc...) then why does he keep talking about "the Almighty" and his belief in God.

  To anyone that has read the entire thing, does he eventually discuss why he believes in God at all?

  The Danger of Credulous Research of Jehovah's Witnesses on the Internet

  it's been my experience so far, that anything a person wants to find out about jehovahs witnesses, they can find out from jehovahs witnesses.

  any and all information ever published by jehovah witnesses is accessible to all.

  Good job, Undercover. Interestingly if Alice/Spade would read "Captives of a Concept" then she would see that JW theology can be disproven FROM THEIR OWN LITERATURE!

  It is absolutely impossible that they were chosen by Jesus in 1918/19. If Alice/Spade can admit that they were not chosen at that time, then I would ask, "When were they chosen?"

  The argument that it is not global is not the entire argument of the matter though. I see your point that it would be unnecessary for it to be global. But there are other problems with a local flood. All humans were killed by it, or at least the Bible says so. So that still would cause a problem for civilizations that apparently show no sign of a flood that wipped out all civilization.

  PSac, you can look it up if you want to see why creationists came to that date. I'm not a chronologist.

  It's interesting that the GB has created a fear of researching on the "dangerous" internet. However, I could research JWs in the old fashion way (i.e at the library) and find the same conclusions.
