I've never even heard that as a belief of Christianity.

Is there a point to this thread?
And yes...I do.
Same here.
How would they against an armed Roman army?
Yes, he rose from the dead.
The fact that people seriously responded to an Amarelooms thread (one in which he's not-so-mysteriously disappeared from after the OP) proves to me that there's no god.
Yes, it was.
lol you believe in tv shows
God loves to see that blood.
Neat.
"There were some who pleased God and were loved by Him, and while living among sinners were taken up. They were caught up so that evil might not change their understanding, or guile deceive their souls. For the fascination of wickedness obscures what is good, and roving desire perverts the innocent mind. Being perfected in a short time, they fulfilled long years; for their souls were pleasing to the Lord, therefore He took them quickly from the midst of wickedness. Yet the peoples saw and did not understand, to take such a thing to heart, that God's grace and mercy are with His elect, and that He watches over His Holy ones."
Well in the Bible blood=life so it's it's the same thing. And like I said, that's where the death of Jesus came in.
Right. God is into the horror genre.
It's neat-o
A slimy little fishy thing can waddle out of an ocean=elephant. If that is possible....
Um...that's not exactly how the Theory of Evolution works...
You gotta admire the indomitable spirt of these godmongers.
I am going to ignore your sarcasm and take you literally instead.
Thanks!
Is that not what happened?
Well...no. Not exactly.
From my understanding of Evolutionary Theory, what's being put forward is the idea that species are formed as a result of adapting to their environments and that the differences found in a population are largely the result of genetics. This is what affects everything else.
I'm pretty sure fish and elephants were always thought to be different species...
Didn't all the animals evolve from that little fishy thing? Yes they did...right?
Hmm...I took Biology in a Christian school so I won't claim to know all the answers.
I think my prof said that it was the fundamental building blocks of life (nitrogen, oxygen, et. al) that life evolved from. I don't remember anything about a "fishy thing" but now that I think about it you could have a point.
The thing is this...
The first creatues on land did come from the sea, if we buy into evolution. From those creatures we did get...birds? How in the did that really happen? Where did the idea of flight even come from? Yet we'll...oh yeah sure, that happened. Which is about as hard to grasp as "there is a God."
Oh I definitely believe in God and I agree that it requires probably about the same amount of faith both ways.
Depends on which evolutionary perspective you follow though. I've seen people who take the stance that everything came from water and I've seen others argue otherwise.
Personally, I don't buy macroevolution to the extent that some people do but you'd have a difficult time sensibly arguing against evolution as a concept.
I year ya.
The thing is nobody really knows how it all went down so we grab what makes us feel the best about the situation. To tell anyone they are full of because they believe this or that is crazy since we don't really have a clue.
