Get bored easily? No time to watch long videos? MEMES TO THE RESCUE! Short & Sweet.

These are found at a Christian You Tube called, 'The Potters Clay'...

These are REALLY good. Fun stuff. I promise. Spectacular AND clever. It doesn't matter what your core belief is; you will come upon several memes that will stop you dead in your tracks and challenge you.

(STRONG SUGGESTION: To adjust and slow these memes down, go to your YouTube 'Settings', then adjust 'Playback Speed to .75. It will give you more time to contemplate the meme, since they move along pretty fast.)

When you have the time, please give them all a look; I consider them a crash-course in Earth-Science Truth, Logic, and Reason.

There were dinosaurs. We have the bones.

Agreed.

But what it doesn't do is "prove" old age. Moreover, God did not create a "riddle" to purposely "fool" the same secular scientists who claim "Old Earth." This is *their* response in attempting to discredit an "Young Earth Creation."

There was death before Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit. Animals and humans ate plants. Eating plants kills them.

No "death" before Adam and Eve's fall. Not according to Scripture.

Isn't it technically true that edible plants and their fruit and leaves could still be eaten without the plant's death?

Genesis is a poetic account of the filling of the land and the sky by God. It's not an actual scientific record.

That's one perspective. We need to be careful when defining "Science" -- especially in giving "Science" more authority on nature than it deserves or warrants.

FWIW, God's "poetry" is found more in Psalms and Song of Solomon. The Almighty was not speaking poetically when describing Genesis. NOR in Job. NOR in Isaiah.

What evidence or indicator leads you to believe Genesis is "poetry"?

Q: Why can't God's own account of Creation be literal truth? What would be the "proof" that dismisses its divine, literal account? What evidence dismisses the account of a 6-Day Creation? Is there any limitation to God?

God, speaking from the sky, said of Jesus "This is my beloved son, listen to HIM." That's what I do - I listen to HIM. And given that I see contradictions between what HE said, and what Paul, James and John said; and also what the various Churches have taught, I have to decide whether I am going to try to blend what others have said with what HE said, and thereby dilute what he said, or if I'm going to take him straight and, therefore, diminish the others.

Firstly, I don't doubt your personal faith in Jesus as Redeemer. Only you know your heart; Same of others.

I think we can agree on dismissing what man or "churches" claim is their unique version of "truth."

That said, there is still disagreement on the absolute authority and fidelity of Scripture as the inspired word of God through ALL of the Apostles -- including Saul/Paul, who did not walk this earth with Jesus. But then neither did Noah, Moses, Abraham, and Isaiah -- yet we still believe they spoke on behalf of God/Jesus.

Which "contradictions" do you see in the respective account of Paul, James and John?

In any case, if somebody wants to talk to be about Christianity and persuade me of anything, he's going to have to do so through Jesus - and not try to cherry pick Jesus because I am very, very, very well versed in exactly what HE said. I'm not going to accept the authority of the Churches - they killed people, and thereby knocked out any claim to superior authority that I am going to admit into MY courtroom - they lost whatever authority they had by producing bloody fruit. And they're going to have to stop trying to pound Paul, John, James, Moses, etc. as the equals of Jesus. They're not. God said "Listen to HIM" and HE is Jesus.

Well Vic -- you get an "AMEN, Brutha!" outta me on most of the above.

But when you reference "Churches," are you citing Papal authority and its abuse over the millennial? Who else specifically do you place on that list?

Beyond the teachings and Gospel of Jesus while his 33 years on this earth, He gave HIS divine power and authority onto His Apostles to carry out His same teachings and Gospel -- and then some. That is one primary reason Jesus chose/elected those Apostles for their mission. (For that matter, ALL of the Prophets -- including Moses -- spoke on behalf of The Lord as His Inspired Word.)

True, it does NOT mean nor was it ever intended that The Apostles were to be Jesus' "equal"; To my knowledge and from study of scripture, no one (or Apostle) has ever claimed that to be the case. BUT...they were entrusted, tasked AND chosen by Jesus Christ Himself to speak and testify ON BEHALF OF Him, ergo, God the Father. The weight that relationship between Jesus and His Apostles carries speaks for itself. It is documented.

To "shut the door" on and "slam the gavel" on the Divine Authority of the Apostles is to ignore the ongoing Authority, wisdom, and further teachings of Jesus Christ Himself. The "evidence" of their relationship and mission in spreading the Gospel is in plain sight and overwhelming.

What Jesus wants and commanded was for us to continue heeding the Word of His Apostles -- as they testify and speak of and for Him as the Inspired Word.

With respect to personal insults and disrespect by others, again, I share your frustration. It shouldn't be condoned. I do understand the frustration from them as well from a faith stand point...

I'd highly recommended NOT conflating or rejecting acceptance of any Truth simply because its presentation isn't acceptable or respectful. The stakes are high. That should be THE consideration.

It's important to understand that, because it demonstrates that the Bible cannot always be taken literally.

No death before sin. You're an idiot. No quotes from scripture as usual for you. Just the ravings of delusional lunatic who thinks he was a mouse or a rat raised from the dead. Go seek out mental health help.

According to what you have said. The following is not Gods word according to you?

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. (John 1:1–5)

God never said no death at all before the Fall. Paul did. It does not work, because the animals and man were all eating before the Fall. Plants are living things, as are their component parts. Paul’s statement gets at a spiritual truth, but it’s not biologically true.

The words you quoted are John’s, not God’s. John wrote them under God’s inspiration, and they reflect deep truths: that God willed everything into existence, but John did not take dictation. In Revelation, John takes direct dictation from Jesus, and clearly so indicates.

No. Cells are alive. When you eat them, they die. Animals and men were killing plants long before the fall. Nor does Genesis prescribe foot for sea creatures at all. What were sharks and whales eating? Text doesn’t say. Whatever it was, they, and all other sea creatures, were killing their food all along.

You’re an idiot....ravings of a delusional lunatic...Get mental help.

Look what you have to put up with to even try to have a quiet, rational conversation with a Christian if he disagrees with you. That’s the fruit of their pens. They “rebuke” you - as though what they say is at all persuasive. They abuse you and hector you constantly. And then, in the old days before the Age of Reason and the Revolutions, they killed you quite horribly if you did not submit to their illogic and emotion. Deprived of the power to kill, they never developed the power to speak rationally. They reject science, because it requires a revision of their understanding of their book. Muslims behave the same way.

Why would anyone want to join a club of people who treat them like this.

Why would I? When I tell them about my own contacts and communications with God, they impugn my sanity?

These Christians are full of rage, hate and insult. I like God much better than I like them. He’s nothing like them, and he demonstrates what he means. So I’ll stick with him. Talking to Christians is too unpleasant to keep up.

As usual, some good reading from Answers In Genesis.

A snippet from the article "Death Before Sin?"

The Bible is very clear about the nature of life. Life, according to the Bible, resides in the "soul," or the Hebrew word "nephesh." This might be equated roughly with the concept of consciousness. This quality is ascribed only to man and some animals, but never plants. The Bible is also very clear as to what happens to plants—"they wither and fade" (Isaiah 40:6-8; James 1:10) but plants never die. They have biological life, but not Biblical life. Men and animals could eat plant life without death, in Biblical terms, taking place.

Quit bastarding scripture and you wont get corrected.

In other words give up your fake christian Catholic beliefs that contradict what Jesus and the Bible says. Every word of the Bible that is.

It isn't hate it is disgust at someone perverting Gods word like you do regularly. You rip pages out of the Bible because you can't live up to them. Then you add to scripture by accepting the lies of sinner popes. Purgatory for example 1 of 10000 or so.

Let's cut to the chase:

Does God allow men to kill other men?

Jesus said that killers were consigned to the Lake of Fire at final judgment.

Then why are you working for the devil and trying to send people to hell when you said

"Yep. Let's throw off the mask.

I hate the enemy. Hate them. And I want to see them dead.

We cannot lose a war against them, and they're hellbent on war - seizing tankers, shooting down drones, supporting terrorism, declaring us the Great Satan - all of that shit.

Let's give them the war they so badly want. And continue that war until they are broken and cease to exist as an organized fighting force.

Not really sure whether I should respond to A K A Stone's rolling raging screed above or not.

On the one hand, it's not pleasant to read, and the personal insults and anti-Catholic bigotry in it are painful to deal with.

On the other hand, if I don't respond blow for blow, I fear that could be perceived as ceding the field because of a lack of answers to that nonsense.

That is certainly the reality of the situation -- it's no mirage. Points get made, but often little actual feedback is exchanged. At BOTH ends. becomes frustrating.

You'd suggested a give & take one-on-one exchange. There's always an element of posturing in a forum -- it's natural, but no one gets very far. Maybe a candid personal exchange beyond prying eyes is the only fair solution to understanding one another. IF that indeed is the goal. And just maybe some of us drone on too long on deep riffs. Some have briefer attention-spans. Maybe better to keep thing shorter & sweeter. JMHO.

Watchman is certainly a sincere Christian - he obviously REALLY BELIEVES what he is trying to teach. I certainly believe what I say. Rather than tear each other apart for everybody else's entertainment, I expect we'll have a discussion by PM of the religious topics we have discussed.

That seems to me the way to get to productive discussion between people with very different views of God, if they actually, really, truly want to understand each other.

On the other hand, I'm not interested in being preached at, just as I am sure nobody else is either.

And finally, I'm really NOT interested in going after anybody with a tire iron. It's not that I CAN'T, it's that I don't want to.

I do wonder if it all ultimately serves any purpose. For example, the clear difference in opinion here regarding theories of the origins of species and the literalness of the Bible. There is passion on both sides, but can that passion generate anything other than heat and smoke? Nobody on either side will convince the other of anything. I know that. Why, then, engage in the conversation at all? Do I expect anybody to change his mind? Does anybody really expect to change mine? And that's even if the nicest and most cordial words are used. Obviously nobody ever changed anybody's mind about anything by insulting him and trying to rip him apart.

Even that - how does one respond to be ripped at? Physical violence is not possible. What, then? An exchange of insults?

In the end, what purpose is there in having these discussions at all?

That's one of the reasons why I see support in my position on theology: It's not what you believe, it's what you do with what you believe.

So if one believes the Bible as the literal Word of God, fine. Are you using that belief destructively to harm others or gently to aid others? The contrast between Stone and Watchman, as I perceive it at least, illustrates the wrong and right way to do it. (And yes, Stone, as I see it, resorting to insults is not what the Bible teaches).

But.... people need time to change. And one lifetime is simply not enough to change. Probably no argument on that from Christians as quashing vices is not the required Christian objective, but it is an element in support of the reincarnation view.

It is published, so may find an audience. I happened across this today and am reminded of our previous correspondence, which has been interesting and valuable to me.

Brings to mind the discussions I enjoyed with several of the Catholics at FR, back in the day. My favorite interlocutors are educated Catholics, followed by those Jews who are not mired in pilpul or engaging in outright prevarication (wittingly or not).

Perhaps we can pick it up again someday. Cheers!

Thank you.

THAT reminds me to keep my cool.

I'm a thinker, a philosopher by nature.

But I'm ALSO a boy from the northwoods who went off to the Navy for two decades and who was, and is, perfectly willing - even eager - to blow up the bad guys.

It's not particularly difficult for a bookworm to turn the other cheek. His instinct is not to fight. My instincts are more that of a bear: provoke me, and my instinct is to maul you, or a bull - content to munch on the flowers, but likely to charge when provoked.

Insults provoke me.

If I follow my instincts, it's very cathartic for ME, but it mangles the message that Jesus put out there specifically FOR me and people like me: check the rage, calm the pride and stay on course.

So, thanks for reminding me that other people read this besides the bear-baiter and the picador.

t. My instincts are more that of a bear: provoke me, and my instinct is to maul you, or a bull - content to munch on the flowers, but likely to charge when provoked.

Except you can't follow your instincts I have you in a corner and you are afriad to comment because it will show you a hypocrite.

You said to pinguinite that he is godless and he can die for all you care. So no one is worse then you at insulting people here. No one.

You say that christians are anti science. You can't defend that. You're afraid to.

You say that you wear a mask meaning you are a fake and a phoney. Then you said you wanted to kill all your enemies. You wanted the all dead and we had to do that and we can't lose.

Then a few weeks later you said any soldier who kills another in war is a murderer and goes to hell. Which by the way you said you didn't believe in before.

So I ask if you are serving the devil, a legitimate question since you made comments wanting others do do your dirty work and murder as you put it lots and lots of people. Does that happen in a vacuum? Do those people not go to hell because Vic the guy who claims lizards and mice were raised from the dead wants it?

You said you reject the Bible as Gods word and only believe the red letters. Well that makes you a liar again because the asshole Popes and Purgatory isn't there in red or anywhere else. Making your position that of a liar or at the least someone who is not consistent.

You also like to boast of how great you are.

These words frighten you and you know you are a hypocrite or at the least someone with inconsistent beliefs.

You say you follow christ but you ignore when he says all scripture is profitable for study it is all Gods word. So you are calling Jesus a liar.

You are also calling Jesus a liar when he says he is the only way and it is finished. With your lying doctrine of purgatory that fools people into not getting saved or paying off the catholic CULT for entry to heaven.

The Pope is not infallible he does not speak for God. The Pope isn't in the Bible, I repeat it because you are kind of slow on the take sometimes.

It is published, so may find an audience. I happened across this today and am reminded of our previous correspondence

Sounds like you are a Catholic. Maybe you can answer some questions.

Do the Catholics teach that only the red words of Jesus are Scripture like Vic says is the way?

Is Jesus the only way or can you pay off the Catholic church to get to heaven and have your sins forgiven?

Why did the Catholics make up Purgatory? It isn't in the Bible and you know that and will admit that if you are an honest person.

That's one of the reasons why I see support in my position on theology:

Why because the human mind can believe things that simply aren't true?

One lifetime better be enough because that is all you get despite some fool hyptontist whispering suggestions in peoples ears.

You still never answered why you used to claim to be a christian. Was it true? What caused you to change your mind? It is curious that you refuse to go into that. It is your right but just curious.

I did answer that. We're not communicating so I won't bother to respond again.

I am a Christian who attends to exegetical works from several denominations. The Catholic Church is a well developed source.

Do the Catholics teach that only the red words of Jesus are Scripture like Vic says is the way?

I believe the Catholic Church uses the whole Bible as a scriptural source, with additional attention to oral traditions that have been passed down. Vicomte13 can speak for himself.

Is Jesus the only way or can you pay off the Catholic church to get to heaven and have your sins forgiven?

A state of grace is required to enter Heaven, which for most of us requires acceptance of grace and repentance of our sins. Prayer and good works can help to expatiate sin and recognize grace.

Why did the Catholics make up Purgatory? It isn't in the Bible and you know that and will admit that if you are an honest person.

I am aware that there are exegetical difference between Catholics and Protestants on this subject.

Now let me ask you:

Are you without sin?

Is repentance an easy instant thing, or does it most often require a significant effort to first recognize it, then to expatiate it from our hearts?

Can you help others free themselves from sin by your prayers and works?

I believe that, as human beings, we have both an animal nature and a spiritual nature. The former is easy, as it is merely nature. The latter is difficult, as it is the effort required to expatiate the sin of sapience -- the ability to know the difference between good and evil and willingly engage ourselves in either and both.

Are you without sin?

Not even close.

But I don't pretend that I am. I don't pretend and change scripture to make myself feel like I didn't sin when I do.

I don’t do the latter either.
