    How could someone determine that Bill ?   Verify by KJV Scripture.

    "Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God" Matthew 5:9

    Neither women are peacemakers, Both are advocating killing.

    Now, show me where Christ commanded killing others.

    They are not two creation stories, man, they are merely the same with differing amounts of details. 

     

    That by definition is two stories. They tell of the creation of earth, but it is two telling, thus two stories. The important thing is that "God did it". 

    Please read the article referenced below:

    Psalm 26:4-5 - "I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers. I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked."

    Psalm 101:3-8 - "I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked person. Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD."

    1 Timothy 6:3-5 - "If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself."

    2 Timothy 3:1-5 - "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."

    (Note: God's Word does not seem to agree with Bonhoeffer's word. So, which will we choose to follow? As for me, I will follow God's Word as the very truth, and will disregard Bonhoeffer's word as a falsehood against the truth.)

    I believe if you look at the life Christ lived and how he treated those who suffer you will see that your proof texting is incorrect and that Bonhoeffer was correct. 

    • Remember the woman taken in adultery?
    • Remember the woman at the well?
    • Remember how he treated the hated tax collector?
    • Remember Jesus healed the sick, raised the dead, consoled the afflicted, and comforted the broken hearted.
    • Remember his comparison of the rich man and the woman who gave the widow's mite?
    • Remember the only people he came down hard on were the 'professional' buffed up religious people, (men), of his day who spent most of their time criticizing other? 
  4. Well, here is a little bit of good news.

     

    Taliban fighters are feeling angry and betrayed Wednesday after discovering that Afghan National Army helicopters abandoned at Kabul’s airport have been rendered inoperable by departing U.S. troops, according to a report.

    An Al Jazeera reporter who toured a hangar on the military side of the airport said in a video that the terrorist group "expected the Americans to leave helicopters like this in one piece for their use."

    "When I said to them, ‘why do you think that the Americans would have left everything operational for you’? They said because we believe it is a national asset and we are the government now and this could have come to great use for us," she continued.

    Gen2:1-7 are concluding and transitioning verses from creation of the world as the subject to man and the garden being the subject.

    I agree. But that does not negate what I said. There are two creation stories and they are different.  But that has nothing to do with the age of the earth. And, as I said, the Bible was never meant to be a science book. 

  6. 13 minutes ago, John Young said:

    That's the order of things brought to the garden of Eden and not the order of created things in the  greater world or the universe. Genesis 1 God makes the universe. Genesis 2 the LORD God makes a garden within that same universe with the same first beings and then brings it all there to make the garden. They were not created at that moment but rather brought there.

    That is not what Genesis 2:4 states.

    "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the heavens and earth."

    Note: This verse suggests that God created the heavens and earth in one day. 

    Also, note that the verse states nothing about a garden. That comes later.

    There is only one of Creation. The second is is specifically of the Garden of Eden, not all of creation. God gave the broad picture in chapter 1 and then narrowed down in chapter 2 to what happened in that specific location.

    Well, the Bible talks about the 4 corners of the earth. There are no corners. 

    Genesis Ch. No. 1 Verses No. 3 and 5,…‘Light was created on the first day.’ Genesis, Ch., 1 Verses, 14 to 19… ‘The cause of light - stars and the sun, etc. was created on the fourth day’.  How can the cause of light be created on the 4th day - later than the light which came into existence on the first day? 

    King James talks about a unicorn. There has never been a unicorn. 

    No, the Bible was never intended to science book.

    Yes, but the second describes the creation of Adam and Eve.

    6000 years is, indeed, very old. And yes, genesis is clearly written as to be taken literally. No room or evidence for a gap nor theistic evolution.

    Someone mentioned egocentrism in an earlier post, and here is an interesting thought: How do we know that earth ISN'T the center of the universe? Seriously, we don't have the technology to see the ends of the universe from any direction, so how do we know God didn't place Earth directly in the center? I'm not saying it IS, just saying, there's no conceivable proof to say either way.

    Actually the earth is much older than 6000 years. And, you do realize that there are two creations stories in Genesis.

    How do we know we are not the center. We know because we know the shape of our universe and we are not in the center, but out in one of the arms.

  10. Sometime I read a paragraph or a poem that really speaks to me. The following poem expresses my feelings. My wife and I spent varying lengths of time, from 90 days to 10 months, each year from 2005 to 2013 in Prague. We worked as volunteers at the International Baptist Theological Seminary. Prague is a wonderful city. It was not damaged in World War II and is the way Europe used to be before that war.  The author, Petr Ginz, died in the Terezin Concentration camp.

     

    Memories of Prague

    How long since I last saw

    The sun sink low behind Petrin hill?

    With tearful eyes I gazed at you, Prague,

    Enveloped in your evening shadows.

    How long since I last heard the pleasant rush of water

    Over the weir of the Vltava river

    I have long since forgotten the bustling life of WenceslasSquare

    The unknown corners in the Old Town

    The shady nooks and sleepy canals,

    How are they? They cannot grieve for me

    As I do for them ...

    Prague, you fairy tale in stone, how well I remember!

    BB.  in your posts for as long as they have been seen, you have been a fountain of only fraud and fake news and rejected the KJV Bible and do not seem to know at all what the Bible says clearly.  You have quoted many many false teachers and pagan advocates, and it seems that all the ones you trust, the sources you repeat and repeat and continue to deceive with,  are unfaithful, unbelievers,  degenerate liars of the world in high places (evil spiritual forces in high places working through the world through them).

     

    More of your false posts. Please answer my question.

    The lockdowns, pandemic, vaccines, and masks are all indications of the beast activity, and most people accept it, go along with it,  willingly wittingly (understanding) or not.

     

    The saga continues.   The facts of the anti-christ sources in the world overcome most people,   the whole world is deceived as written,  and 

    while the truth is called a lie,  and the lie is broadcast daily thousands, millions of times deceiving all who listen to it and go along with it instead of turning to Jesus to learn the truth.

    Please stop the false, fake news. Please answer my question. Thanks in advance.

  13. A new Covid variant detected in South Africa has made headlines around the world.

    On Monday the National Institute for Communicable Diseases in South Africa issued an alert about the “C.1.2 lineage”, saying it had been detected in all provinces in the country, but at a relatively low rate.

     

    C.1.2 was first detected in May, the alert said, but Delta is still the dominant variant spreading in South Africa and the world.

    pre-print, non peer-reviewed paper published about the variant said C.1.2 “has since been detected across the majority of the provinces in South Africa and in seven other countries spanning Africa, Europe, Asia and Oceania”.

    If the super archers defend for years, why are the "experts" saying you need a booster eight months after a person received their second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna? Which one is accurate, your meme or the scientists?

     

    Well, I guess we have to wait for more information. I will take the booster and maybe, if fortunate, will develop super-super 'archers'. How about you?

  15. WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. court on Monday vacated the Trump administration's scaled back clean water rule that had limited the number of waterways that could be federally regulated because leaving it in place could harm the environment, restoring previous protections. 

    Arizona district court judge Rosemary Marquez said that leaving the Trump administration's Navigable Waters rule in place while the Biden Environmental Protection Agency and Army Corps of Engineers work on their own rulemaking could lead to "serious environmental harm" and that the Trump rulemaking process was filled with "errors."
