    Oh, yeah, that's right. Adam lived like 900 years or something......I don't think it is literal in some places. I think it was more important to understand what they were trying to say. Whether it is the true age or not, doesn't take away from the message that Jesus is the Christ and as shown in Egypt, the blood of the Lamb saves one from death. Doesn't matter if they were there for a thousand or a hundred years. Well, to me, anyway. The years don't save me or condemn me.

    Don't get hung up on Moses' faerie tales.

    God makes that ultimate decision. Not for us to contemplate anyone but ourselves. How many say "I am a good person" ...but fall short?

    "Casting out demons" is magic, period.

    Actually until judgment day it is the Angels Of God that make the decisions.

    You need to read-up on your Biblical procedure.

    He means no harm and he has a right to believe what he wants long as it doesn't hurt anyone else, right? What hurts others is what we should worry about. People who want to take from or control others.

    Of course I was referring to judgement day. "It is appointed for man once to die, and then judgement". Not only have I read up on it....I committed it to heart. Angels don't judge anything. They are agents.

    We've been told that a day in the Bible can be many thousands of years in actuality ("he created the world in 6 days", etc.) - so the 6000 year age of the earth is actually much much longer than that, so they say....so if that's true then Noah living 900 years was arguably much much LONGER than that - so maybe Noah lived, say, 20,000 years or so. :)
    Yes, that's Biblical logic....kind of like "Jumbo Shrimp", or "airline schedules", or "Microsoft Works". :)

    Science is repeatable, "miracles" are not.

    In other words, religious people really just want to avoid taking responsibility for their lives. Modern Secular Humanists take responsibility.

    I've never seen a miracle. How do you know this?

    That's because they are exactly as real as Orcs and dragons.

    That's because "miracles" are not repeatable - like I said! :)

    Not really, they are responsible to a higher power first. That's why they are hated.

    I think this was for a certain church that was having problems with women gossiping. Not because they were talking in church but what they were talking about.

    If you've seen one, prove it. I'd love to see one. I don't think I will.

    So people who are ethical, and care about women, would remove this barbaric verse from their Bibles, of course.

    or much shorter, who knows, if a day is not a day, then not really a valid measurement anymore

    So now you've appointed yourself God? People can rationalize anything till they are minutes away from their last breath, then they become believers again.

    Correct, you won't. Miracles don't exist - Jesus didn't perform "miracles".
    It IS a miracle that people believe he's going to magically come back and "save them from hell", however.

    Not if "one day in the Bible equals many YEARS in reality" - which is how they explain the insanity of the 6000 years or the 6 days.
    But because the Bible is such a lousy communicator (a lousy god, to be sure), you could be right.

    I do believe you are correct, and, it was Paul who called for the sin to stop and when it wouldn't, he forbad them from speaking at all. There are always consequences and folks don't like that. It's what there is so much disbelief. Well, that's my opinion, of course.
