Do I Have to Believe Evolution?

Well,For 116 years it graced the halls of the National Museum of Wales at Cardiff—the fossilised skeleton of a 200m[illion]-year-old predator that once cruised the Jurassic seas,” says Britain’s newspaper The Guardian. “Then curators at Cardiff decided the remains of the ocean-going carnivore ichthyosaurus needed a brush up—and realised that they had been taken in.” “When we stripped off five layers of paint we found it was an elaborate forgery,” said conservator Caroline Buttler. “It was an amalgam of two types of ichthyosaurus plus a clever attempt at fake parts.” Instead of disposing of it, the museum will put it on display as an example of a fake fossil.

Yes True! He who laughs last laughs longest.

I do not profess to have such knowledge of the Bible though - that is the difference - despite a school prize in RS. You do profess and yet you pervert the teachings, as proven.

[DTCwordfan]

And by the way that was teachings not from me but one of your deep evangelical thinkers so you are shooting them in the feet. Nice one, E....

[DTCwordfan]

So I am now laughing

[Slapshot]

NORMAL SERVICE WILL RESUME SHORTLY

Elderman is currently fomenting his rage to find a sensible comeback on DT CrosswordFan that we can't slap back in his righteous face...;-)

I havent seen anything sensible from him yet but then they say God moves in a mysterious way and that is so true with the Blessed Disciple.

For reference, this is who you inadvertently shot down, Elderman. So he is a non-Christian? I might just e-mail him this thread.......I am sure he will be most impressed with your true(?) Christian views......

There's some more salient quotes you may wish to reflect on and I also am aware (through past studies) of several in one of your oft quoted books, Ephesians. Timothy has a few views on anger too.

jomifl - the madness in me is recognised already......so that's half the equation redundant. lol

[Elderman]

Well, some feel that they make people laugh and inject a little fun into their life. “For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he is deceiving his own mind. . . . It’s a chance to experience life on your own for a few hours, a chance to do what you want and be with whom you want without answering to anyone. Besides, you’ve probably heard. Do not be misled: God is not one to be mocked. For whatever a man is sowing, this he will also reap; because he who is sowing with a view to his flesh will reap corruption from his flesh, but he who is sowing with a view to the spirit will reap everlasting life from the spirit.”(Ga 6:3-8) So your day will come.

Thank you Elderman, once again you you have made me realise how lucky I am...

This may be a wee bit off topic but if God created the Universe, what was the point in all the other stars and planets being created, what was the purpose? If we are indeed the only beings in the Universe, it seems to have been an awful lot of effort.

Thank you Jomifi once again you you have made me realise how lucky I am... True, I may get mocked and teased for being different. (1 Peter 4:4)

I view the McKeith woman as gods representative Nigella is so devilishly bad....I know where I want to go

This is a little like saying
do I have to believe in the Eurozone ?

In that there is this area called the Eurozone.......

but do I have to believe IN it ?

well no, you dont HAVE to, but not believing in it does not make the EZ cease to exist.......sorry double negative there


AS for forgery as evidence something doesnt or didnt exist
IF I forged a penny black -does that mean that all the penny blacks dont exist or are forgeries as well \?

[jomifl]

Elderman , If you do get mocked and teased, it is not for being different..

Well, Jesus said that the kind of people that God is looking for are those who would worship him “with spirit and truth.” (John 4:23, 24) If there are such people—and there are—they will teach reasonable, Scriptural doctrines. They will be at peace with one another and you will find them living in a way that recommends them as Christians different because they really believe the Bible; they really live by the Bible. They do not take a higher critic or modernistic view and use only parts of the Bible. Nor do they water down God’s Word with traditions of men, as did the religious leaders in Jesus’ own day, or with Evolution or Atheism

You see, the truth is not popular. It was not in Jesus’ day. The Jews wanted to kill him because he was speaking the truth. It angered them because it was different from what they taught. That is why they are not usually very popular. What they teach is different, because the truth is different. ..to whom Jesus said: “You shove aside the word of God for your tradition.”(Mark 7:13)

Jesus Christ told me this after I prayed to him last night: "This question has established beyond all reasonable doubt that elderman and any questions he puts on AB should be ignored because they waste our precious time and energy."
He then commanded me to post this on AB to save His reputation from being dragged in the mud by idiots and to allow his followers to use their energies in more profitable pursuits. As a devout believer I felt that i had to obey.

Elderman /Goodlife If you keep beginning your posts with 'well' we might well begin to think that you are, well, the same person. Well?
