Hey Tetly,
When you have no argument do you always head 'south' and make ad hominem attacks? Is AlanF coaching you from his penalty box? LOL

Hey KidA,
Did you support the war to remove the Taliban or are you a hypocrite?

Lawerence,
Your argument is with God, not with me. You are just shooting the messenger. Let me ask you a question, what is 'love of neighbor'? IF you saw your neighbor getting beaten would you intervene? Now, if your neighborhood was invaded by gangs would you want the police to stop them and would you defend your family? How about if it were your community, your nation, someone elses nation, France vs Germany, England vs Germany, Japan vs China, Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait, NEW YORK CITY and how about setting 35 million Iraqis free to run their own country without a murderous bully killing all dissenters?
The fact is this: Christian nations have freed hundreds of millions of their fellow humans while, atheistic socialist and communist regimes have butchered their own and other country's citizens by the hundreds of millions. Your rebellious butt would not last a month in one of those countries or an Islamic one today!
I bet you as a peacenic also assert the right of women to arbitrarily kill their unborn babies, right? You will march against freedom while you ignore the deaths of the most innocent and defensless human beings in society. You my friend, give idiots a bad name.

LoL, I love it! Tetly old boy, you are off your rocker......ask the wifey to check you into the local psychiatric clinic and have them work you over a little. Hey, I can do some research and recommend some good CHRISTIAN counselors to help you out! What say you?
If you can't tell the difference of legitimate 'apologia from cult-abuse you need to go read Steve Hassan again.

Seymour,
Please look at the posts and see who asserted what. I simply asked you to provide proof. You cannot have that proof since no one was around to measure the decay rates. You keep side stepping the crucial presuupositions that evolution needs to sound halfway believable!
BTW, Darwin called for the death of his theory if irreducible complexity was ever proved: it has been! LOL

Cygnus,
If scientists have nothing to fear and their theories are correct then why do they do just what your former masters at the Watchtower did: try and CENSOR what is taught? LOL

as a manager, i've used jesus as a model and his example has served me well.

i approach my job as a servant 1 , and the people under me are the ones i work for.

i follow the foot-washing principle2.

jgnat,
I have decided to simply stop this discussion. I can no longer discuss anything with you without the danger of being perceived as an unloving person. I have much to dispute but I do not want to 'win the battle, but lose the war'. You are not my enemy no more than anyone else here is. My enemy is unseen and he resides in the 'high places' of the spiritual realm. My prayer is that you turn from what you have been taught and look at the other side of the coin: give God's word the benefit of the doubt! Go on loving people in your way but please analyze whether or not love is not sometimes shown in discipline and warning. May God bless you and may your husband be led from the Watchtower.

>Why does Luke (contrarily to Matthew 26:32) omit the Markan saying about Galilee and has Jesus insist instead that the disciples stay in Jerusalem (Luke 24:33,47,52; Acts 1:4: "he ordered them not to leave Jerusalem") -- which was so obviously necessary for his Pentecost story?

These are three different writers, three different purposes to their gospels, three different sources. The fact that they are different is a passive evidence for their veracity. You see contradiction because you simply want to believe that way. If you had studied the matter in depth you would not even ask the question. Internet intellect is not in any way scholarship.
