Ice_nine Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) the more I talk, the less I make sense. Hence why my first comment was so short. [quote]I'm thinking I'd rather not discuss these issues with people who find themselves to be of a thin skin. If you're saying that you're sensitive and some of my opinions are offensive we can just call the whole thing off.[/quote] No, I mostly agree with your opinions and do not find them offensive. I hope I've clarified here that I didn't mean to imply you were a big meanie or something. And I don't think I was really debating, I'm more just watching. Maybe I should shut my mouth and stick to that [quote] I was trying to get clarification to your earlier remark but this reply is even more perplexing. [/quote] I tend to have that effect on people. Hopefully I haven't muddied things up more. In that case: I didn't mean to imply anything personal, and I'm genuinely sorry that it seemed that way. It was late, most of the post doesn't really make sense. I've been having (more) trouble this week putting my thoughts into words because of some non-serious, but annoying medical stuff has tuckered me out, so do me a favor and just fahget about it. thx Edited July 1, 2012 by Ice_nine

Thanks for the cool reply. I was suffering mild heat stroke when I posted that so it's not my best. hehe
Mark of the Cross Posted July 1, 2012 Posted July 1, 2012 I got the idea that one side tried to hide the carpenters tools and L_D is trying to show that not only did he use them he also made them! Creation is even more awesome when you see the created science behind it. is coool!
LittleWaySoul Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 [quote name='eagle_eye222001' timestamp='1339643505' post='2444490'] I wouldn't get my hopes up for a future event to be "Why John 6 isn't literal but Genesis is." [/quote] THANK YOU.
LittleWaySoul Posted July 26, 2012 Posted July 26, 2012 [quote name='Ice_nine' timestamp='1339991089' post='2445680'] In my younger days for a brief time, I was a fundamentalist/creationist/didgeridoo. Embarrassing few years that was. Whoops. I understand how people can believe this. Their (fallacious) understanding of the function of Scripture is fundamental (or tantamount, that's a fancy word, hope I'm using it right!) to their believe in God. If the Bible (or their understanding of it) is undermined, the very existence of God is thrown into a panicked doubt. Unwilling to relent their belief in God (for which there are many solid reasons, non-ridiculous reasons) they cling to the Bible to the point where it defies common sense. [/quote] This is exactly what I've found as well. I've met people who cannot understand my believe in God without taking Genesis literally.
