how did those whale bones get into the atacama desert, if you have been there, it is a barren wasteland.
i belive it might have been caused by the flood, but again i am one who belives in god.
what do you think of this find, jesus or non-intelligence?
So, according to the Creationists the Noachian Flood happened about 7 million years ago ? or do they just not listen to the facts ? what a silly question, of course they don't.
No No no. . . the whale DID die 7 million years ago in the ocean. But 4,500 years ago a global flood washed the 7,000,000 year old bones into the Chilean desert and happened to lay the bones back down in the shape of a dead whale.
Please Lore, where did Jesus say he promised an end to wickedness?
Well I was actually joking. But I guess it depends on whether you think Jesus is god or not, and wether you think he inspired the bible or not:
Psalms 27:10 "Soon the wicked will disappear. Though you look for them, they will be gone."
But hey, I'm just glad you didn't ask me when Odin promised the end to Frost Giants. . .
Trust Jesus?
Jesus promised an end to wickedness.
Odin promised an end to Frost Giants.
I don't see a lot of Frost Giants around do you?
Seriously though:
Point one: The Bible has a significant amount of false, incorrect, or non-factual information in it.
Accept the challenge and point out your best contradiction
He didn't say contradiction, he said non-factual. Spider Man may not contain any contradictions, but it's non-factual insofar as there was never a guy with spider powers zipping around New York fighting a giant sand monster.
As far as non-factual things. . . take your pick.
There was not a global flood 4,500 years ago which wiped out the entire human population save for 8 people and their millions of animals.
There was not a famine earthwide 4,000 years ago in which people from ALL OVER THE WORLD came to Egypt to buy food for 7 years.
There was not a mass exodus of Jews from Egypt who wandered around in the wilderness for 40 years.
There was not a day in which the 'sun stood still in the sky' for an extra 24 hours in all of human history.
Those are pretty much confirmed to be not true. You're free to assert some or all of these are symbolic, or the text was exaggerating about the scale. . . and honestly I'd prefer that over you actually believing any of that.
But if these were symbolic or exaggerated, why does the Bible present it as historical fact?
someone said it is so wonderful watchtower study today.
.
Last week it was about how we should run the race with endurance and how Abraham, Moses and Noah provided good examples for us.
This week it was about how we should run the race with endurance.
Next week it's about how Moses and Abraham provided good examples for us.
Overall it's been an exciting month.
i am curious how many families actually do this, and how many lie and say they do.
i would guess it is less than 50%.
i would say it is a good night for tv.. jk.
My family does it every single week. If we miss a day we reschedule to later that week. We've only really missed 1 week since it started (2 years ago?)
A lot of single people with no kids go visit other people for 'family' worship night. . . I think it's more popular among single people who want an excuse to go hit on each other than it is among married people with children.
But as far as percentages. . . it'd be hard to say. It's not like everyone is going to come out and admit they don't do the family worship thing.
have anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?
its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .
if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?
To be precise: This magazine is not promoting or condoning men hitting their husbands. The implication is, "hey, he's worldly, don't expect him to be peaceable."
It doesn't outright condemn him for hitting his wife, but I believe that's a given based on their other articles about how a christian husband should be loving..
The major fail is not what this paragraph is telling husbands, the major fail is what the watchtower is telling wives. Namely: If you are in a physically abusive relationship, you should stick with him instead of leaving. And that's just horrible advice.

Good advice: Don't be rude to your violent husband or he might hit you.
Much better advice: Leave your violent husband in a ditch.

The night before, Steve had hit me as I had tried to prove a point, and I was feeling sad and sorry for myself.
. . .
Realizing that I needed to adjust my thinking, I prayed to Jehovah to help me be more loving toward Steve.
That's right woman, it's YOUR fault. He shouldn't have to repeat himself.
He's your head.
Which means you're his body.
He's supposed to pummel his body.
So take it like god says!
