Thank you for making it clear you believe the people of Sendai, Japan were being punished by god and deserved to die.

Thank you for making it clear you believe the victims of the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami were being punished by god and deserved to die.

Thank you for making it clear you believe the lives of Christians are worth more than non-Christians, who deserve to die.

Thank you for making it clear you believe god is punishing the people of California, and that they deserve to die.

See above.

In other words:

People outside the fold = deserve to die.

Thus, the lives of Christians are worth more than non-Christians.

You're saying god sent bears to kill them because they believed in same sex marriage and abortion?

You're saying their age justified their murder?

This is spiritual terrorism.

Considering a linked site claiming a location where human bones and disnosaurs bones appear together.

If this were accurate it is not any evidence that the world is less than millions of years old. It would provide no evidence of a world wide flood and it would not be any sort of evidence against evolution. That being the case even unscrupulous scientist would not need to hide it. They may be skeptical about because it does not fit the other evidence found about humans and dinosaurs.

Apologists non story of no salvation,
disinformation better fitting a different day.

Hell is created by the human predators who pray on the innocent.

Forgiveness costs pain unless by forgiveness you mean indifference.

Those of you who think Jesus's death was just flesh slaughtered and do not see his sacrifice for love, how he shows love costs in a world where the strong use the less strong, that he is willing,desiring, to share that cost with us, have no share in his death and life and no understanding of his salvation.

Hi ceeboo,

People think dinosaurs died out long ago because we do not find recent ones. If that changed then people would be curious as to which ones survived where. Evolution does not require that ancient species disappear altogether they just often appear to have done so.

Ah, the magic of science. We (all of us) know now that dinosaurs didn't die out. The trees are full of them. My mother-in-law has one as a pet. Most of us eat dinosaurs every Thanksgiving. Colonel Sanders made a fortune selling Kentucky fried dinosaurs.

Birds are now classified as avian dinosaurs.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Do you believe Hitler deserved to die? He only murdered people. Your own opinions and influences could be steering people to turn from God and choose hell. Is that not far worse? Those individuals were not murdered, they were killed naturally by a bear.

Hitler deserved to die, anyway. I hope you won't like to discuss it (with a German, by the way.). Image

To turn from God and chose hell? What's that for a Image nonsense? If you turn from an imaginary God you won't chose hell automatically, because hell won't exist for one who decided not to believe in God and the Christian concept anymore.

And what's far worse than murder? You are a Image cynic to say that "only" murdering people is nothing in comparison to send them to an imaginary and for a non-believer not existing hell.

Whatever murder means in criminal law, it's obvious that the children shall be frightened by the crueful bear image so that they obey an ill Christian doctrine. As ill as the image and the psychopathic person that painted it, and many of so-called "Christians", too

Hey huck! :smile:

You're confusing me.

I thought you suggested that if it was accurate that human bones and dinosaurs bones were found together - it would not be any evidence that the world is less than millions of years old. (Did I misunderstand you?) I don't know why you bring up evolution in this post?

As far as I know, the most recent study suggests that dinosaurs went extinct 65.95 million years ago (give or take 40,000 years)

What am I missing from your posts?

Thanks and peace,

Hitler "only" murdered people. Wow. Just wow. You never fail to amaze me, nipper.

You are trapped in a cult that has little or no regard for human life.


LittleNipper wrote:Your own opinions and influences could be steering people to turn from God and choose hell. Is that not far worse?
No, it's not; because the tribal sky god of the ancient Hebrews is a mythical being with no basis in reality.


LittleNipper wrote:Those individuals were not murdered, they were killed naturally by a bear.
Or maybe it's just a mythical tale with no basis in reality.

Nipper, are you one of those Christians who believes they're fighting a spiritual war against the forces of darkness? I ask because many of these self-described spiritual warriors believe it's sometimes necessary to employ tactical deception against unbelievers, such as myself.

What are your thoughts on the use of tactical deception in spiritual warfare?
