Then you have no idea what damage was done to the Sphynx nor when it was done. You are really bizarre sometimes.

And you know nothing more than you have been told. Believe whatever, but it will come at a terrible price.

No it won't.
Jesus died for my sins, all my sins, including the one about doubting if the flood really happened. God, if he exists, knows what I'm like and what my faults are - after all, He gave them to me!

but i appreciate your desire to know as well...that is a step in the right direction for you....you desire such an experience, likely even crave it...but alas, "dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith."

sorry subby, but you really can't identify that it was God and not some other being or force that was doing the manifesting.

I at least try to be open, and I don't put words into other people mouth in a dishonest attempt to change what they said. I will try to answer questions, unlike you who just runs away. How do fallible humans have an infallible experience?

There is nothing wrong with doubting. There are lots of things wrong with making fun of others and belittling everything they say. God didn't give us our faults, He allows us to exist with them and He has provided a means to lay them on Christ so that whosoever will may come to the Father through the Lord Jesus Christ.

You really need to make some effort, with Christ's help, to revisit the Flood. Jesus would not have talked about it if hadn't happened. However, you shouldn't always ridicule those who are trying to help explain things to you.

It does not matter what anyone says to you. So why would anyone waste their time with you? Why don't you define to us your world view and how you got to believe it? We can all examine your thoughts and feelings. What great fun.

I think he's ravenous wolf in sheep's clothing Frank, such should be shunned and avoided. The Lord warns us about men like this. They destroy everyone and everything around them. All they do is spew hate and venom.
