@Mario_Sneh Nothing less than removing the operating system partitions would be the least id do.

[Rob Fox @RG_Fox_Cda]

@creatorclues @ArchTheAtheist Yeah contemporary without a reference usually implies “with reference to today” but I like this argument. 😄

[Rob Fox @RG_Fox_Cda]

@creatorclues @ArchTheAtheist Hey Mitch, he’s asking for contemporary evidence. You cited second person accounts of sightings that had happened around the time of the resurrection.

But I think our faith speaks volumes.

[Rob Fox @RG_Fox_Cda]

@sarahsalviander Yeah. I noticed that you didn’t reply to my question about the connection of Hadley cells to the book of Revelation. 😄

Seriously though, Sarah, I know you have a lot on your plate right now. Sending prayers for your recovery.

@creatorclues Alternative definitions:

Objective
Independent of personal experience

Subjective
Derived from personal experience

Once feelings or opinions become a dependent factor, then it cannot be considered truth.

@sarahsalviander @wendelltalks Hey Sarah. Take a look at Revelation 7 verse 1 and then read up on the effect of climate change on Hadley cells. Do these seem eerily similar to you?

[Rob Fox @RG_Fox_Cda]

@followffoz There’s two additional principle that I base my reading on:

1. The Bible is not a science text book.
2. Jesus spoke of his Father as someone who does not expect His children (us) to know exactly how or even when He created the universe and everything in it.

[Rob Fox @RG_Fox_Cda]

@nnahle That is the problem. You are being theologically precise.

[Rob Fox @RG_Fox_Cda]

@Ihunanya_chi However, to look at this in a religious context, the Gospels narrate several instances where Jesus is talking with his Father. So they are two distinct persons. But the same God.

<mind warp>

[Rob Fox @RG_Fox_Cda]

@Ihunanya_chi It’s entirely futile to wrap your head around this. If you want to compare it to something in the secular world, it would be like if you tried to imagine what an object would be like in the fourth dimension. The mind is incapable of doing this.

[Rob Fox @RG_Fox_Cda]

@creatorclues @SonofManwithus To expand on this, Scripture never claims to be a scientific reference. However it does argue as follows:

Because of the Messiah Jesus, you now have a Father in heaven who asks you not to worry about anything.

So why then be concerned about how God really did it?

[Rob Fox @RG_Fox_Cda]

@creatorclues @SonofManwithus Glad you asked. 🙂. The poll implies that you can either have evolution or creation, but not both, and not neither of them.

Scientific discovery shows biological tendency towards specialization so macro evolution cannot be ruled out.

[Rob Fox @RG_Fox_Cda]

@GuyJackson777 Yeah I even remember that photo of him sitting in that chair where the back had a some symbol of an empty bow.

[Rob Fox @RG_Fox_Cda]

@JakeRammos Good question. Totally uninspired but since most of those with whom I communicate are Americans, I thought it important to indicate in my username that I am significantly influenced by Canadian culture. 🇨🇦

[Rob Fox @RG_Fox_Cda]

@RobotSynergy Inherit yes. But read Psalm chapter 2. There will be non-Christians alive when the millennial kingdom is established.

[Rob Fox @RG_Fox_Cda]

@RobotSynergy @god_came_down This prophecy is very significant as it combines the references to the sacrifice, “the latter time of their kingdom”, and the martyrdom of the “holy people”.

But it can’t stand on its own. It needs other contextual references to narrow down the time frame.

[Rob Fox @RG_Fox_Cda]

@RobotSynergy @god_came_down I’ve yet to find that pivoting verse in scripture that convinces me of futurism.

Historicism seems to answer these questions far easier.

[Rob Fox @RG_Fox_Cda]

@RobotSynergy Lousy in what way?

[Rob Fox @RG_Fox_Cda]

@A_Philosopher @sarahsalviander Christianity is the affirmation of Godly love (agape) that a Creator has for “His” creation.
