Thanks for letting me know that. To tell you the truth, I think the media overhyped it, but I take your point. Remember, that it wasn’t that long ago that Einstein’s E=MC2 was deemed absolutely correct. Maybe in time, so will this. Tele, thanks for your comment.

You know Bill ….I could give you all the answers I could possibly think of but you still wouldn’t be satisfied.For me the Bible is the highest document of Authority (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) and unless you believe in the same thing our discussion is futile because there is no other way to discern. To put it bluntly I think Bentley loves the glory, loves being in the ‘limelight’ and brings absolute discredit to the name of Christ….and immature people encourage him because they want some form of entertainment at the expense of the desperate and sick.

Once deep in the spirit, in a fast, in a sequestered monk-like state Father allowed me to see things from the beginning! How beautiful, how pristine. Didnt you know? He lives outside of the confines of time and space, the spirit has no age, is not limited as is the physical. One day I hope to see even more.

Exactly how did you see into the genesis of all creation, John? Tell us, what physical/mechanical processes allowed you to travel millions of years back in time to witness the beginning of existence? Or are you merely speaking about your imagination, and not any real experience? ‘Cause if you’re able to time travel, you need to write a scientific paper–a Nobel Prize in physics awaits!

So you are claiming the Ananias and Sapphira were not Christians?

Also, Pauline theology goes right out the window as Paul bases justification by faith on a literal two Adam theory.

I don’t even see where John C gets his vision of God. What he sees as transcendental insights could just be mental illness. The God of the Boble is certainly closer to the Joel’s Army view than John C’s touchy-feely amalgamation of things not Biblical or traditional. For every God is Love there is a God will smite you.

Y’all pick and choose how you interpret what Jesus told you to do, justify it, rationalize it. Every different denomination has altered the idea of what it means to be a Christian and by what measure to exclude anyone from that group by their fruits, i.e., behaving in a manner fitting their customary beliefs. They can tell you by your fruits too. I don’t think they would consider themselves atheists…. so if they do believe in heaven and hell and Jesus, then they must not be too afraid that their actions are in complete disregard for your interpretation.

I mean, when you get people who think things happen for a reason, you’re going to find people who decide they’re chosen for this work and they’re excused, and they can probably find scripture that defends it as well to prove it. I think they still aren’t too scared of hell or they wouldn’t be doing it.

Any criteria that don’t require expertise and careful evaluation?

Anyone who claims to be Christian is Christian.

the reason that creationists cannot accept evolution is that if god did not create adam and eve in the garden, then there was no fall from grace. If there was no fall from grace, then there is no original sin. if there is no original sin, then what is jesus doing on that cross?

there are none so blind as those who will not see.

what’s funny to me is when creationists mock scientists for saying that we all came from a rock, when, in genesis, god made adam from dust,dirt and air.

btw, i think John C is pulling everyone’s leg here. gotta be a redditor.
