Yan,
I am not asking you to pretend it didn't happen. On the contrary, I am asking IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN, would you believe it to the point to make you ignore the laws of physics?
I really don't know how much simplier the above can be stated
I see what you're getting at but don't understand the correlation.
You can make it simpler by asking me what motivated you to ask why I would risk my life because I had a supernatural experience. Why would I assume that I could defy the laws of physics?
People break the laws of physics everytime, defying gravity is done on a daily basis, from aircraft to spaceships.
Yan,
Once you have experienced a "supernatural" event you cannot pretend it didn't happen. It does and can change one's perception of life. And since I was raised a JW and still consider myself Christian, even though I am inactive, I gave more credence to what was in the Bible. That's the only way I know how to explain it.
Do any of you remember some years ago, there was an interview on TV with a warlock, and he was asked why he hated Jehovah's Witnesses and his reply was something to the effect that God killed the children of the demons at the Flood and now the demons are trying their hardest to get the JW children to leave the religion.
I didn't see the interview but I know two people who did.
Let's pretend for a moment that there was provable, documented evidence, other than the Bible, that the Flood was real.
How would it personally affect you? Would you feel responsibility to the Creator or would you just carry on as normal?
Wow, this thread is up to 13 pages....
Yan, I was not trying to avoid the question, I admit I didn't completely understand why you posted it, but since you've rephrased it...
Based on your faith, strengthened by a personal supernatural experience, would you walk off the edge of a building if a similar experience assured you it’s ok to do so? Would you ignore the laws of physics and the fact, tested and reinforced by many more personal experiences, that you will plummet to the ground to your death?
It’s a simple YES/NO question.
The answer is no, I would not and I would not ignore the laws of physics.
The long answer is there is no guarantee that someone could expect the same preferntial treatment as the guy who did walk off a building and survive.
Does this tell you what you want to know?
Now, as to the poster who mentioned my screenname, I chose it because I seek truth, it doesn't mean I have found the truth. I do not expect to have all the answers and I'm satisfied with that.
H202 is the symbol for hydrogen peroxide which has one more atom of oxygen than H20. All things have atomic structure that varies in makeup.
When exposed to other matter H202 is changed from its stable composition. An extra oxygen atom is released leaving H20. In nature, oxygen, or O2, consists of two atoms in a stable combination. Plants and vegetation also produce oxygen, but a single oxygen atom is highly reactive and is called a free radical.
H202 in rainwater makes it beneficial for plants than ordinary tap water which contains high concentrations of aluminimum and chlorine due to the sanitizing processes of municipal water supplies. Increased levels of atmosphere pollution cause greater amounts of H202 to react with air borne toxins, the result being that fewer H202 atoms reach the earth because they lose one atom. The result is more H20. Vegetation and plant life suffer as a result. It is likely that H202 was abundant in ground water prior to the flood. Today underground pollution of water aquifers has also robbed it from those sources.
The ozone layer that surrounds the earth consists of three oxygen atoms. The protective layer is created when ultraviolet light from the sun splits an atmospheric oxygen molecule into two single, unstable oxygen atoms which combine to form ozone which is only partially stable. Ozone will give up the extra atom of oxygen to falling rainwater creating H202. When pollution interferes with the natural cycle put in place this causes ozone depletion.
When something is altered in nature it causes imbalance in the life cycle. When this imbalance is corrected, the earth will once again thrive.
Jaguarbass,
I agree that the atmosphere would have changed.
Genesis 1:7 "So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above the expanse. And it was so."
The sky is the expanse. The separation was the canopy of water above the expanse.
The water under the expanse was that which came from springs that watered the earth in the form of a mist. The canopy acted as a barrier that held in the heat from the sun so that the earth was like a warm hot-house around the entire planet. It also kept out harmful radiation from the sun.
To recannopy the planet with a swaddling band of vaporous water, the ice must be melted. When the ice at the poles melt, the atmosphere will become heavier with evaporated waters, uplifted as water vapor. The earth will interact with volcanic activity to begin the process of creating the canopy to trap the moisture in the upper atmosphere. This is why no worldwide flood can ever occur again even though the polar ice caps will all become extinct.
By using mankind's own misuse of this planet, God brings his will into harmony. This planet was flooded long ago and the excess waters were frozen until such time in the future when those reserves would melt and be released into the atmosphere.
EP,
I gave the link as an example of one form of energy.
EP,
Everything is in a state of flux. Everything vibrates. Even your single dumb brain cell.
Take color for example...
http://www.colourtherapyhealing.com/colour/
Colour is simply light of different wavelengths and frequencies and light is just one form of energy that we can actually see that is made up from photons.We are all surrounded by electromagnetic waves of energy of which colour is just a small part. Within the Universe, positive and negative charges (waves of energy), are constantly vibrating and producing electromagnetic waves traveling at an incredibly high speed.(186,000 miles per second, the speed of light.)
