    Our special Earth

    You know that, too is a simplifying assumption. I can provide many examples of water bodies whose water elevations are different from one location to another. Go check out a flood map. Many things affect water level, but the difference is so slight at the scales we typically encounter that it...

    Our special Earth

    Mathamatics: the abstract science of number, quantity, and space. Mathematics may be studied in its own right ( pure mathematics ), or as it is applied to other disciplines such as physics and engineering ( applied mathematics ). So from the dictionary definition, it appears you are correct...

    Our special Earth

    I am not sure Mathamatics is a science, technically speaking, since Mathamatics is an abstract way to model reality. The NASA paper is a mathamatical proof for the equations used to design aircraft based on the assumptions that the aircraft is flying over perfectly flat and non rotating ground...

    Our special Earth

    The point that YOU are not understanding has nothing to do with the Earth (which I stated at the beginning) and everything to do with the need for simplifying assumptions in mathamatical analysis (like assuming that an airplane is flying at a constant weight when it is actually burning fuel and...

    Our special Earth

    Calculate the area beneath a curve (like the flow curve of a pump). Tell me how you did it. Is your flat earth perfectly flat? That I can personally disprove. My house is on a hill and I have climbed to the top of a mountain. Would you design your aircraft based on the irregular terrain of a...

    Our special Earth

    Ok, I am not going to debate a flat Earth. There is simply no evidence that I can present that would convince you, and no evidence you can present that will convince me. So I am just going to set that whole question aside. What I will discuss is that NASA article you posted a link to. I am a...

    How do we understand verses that say God has changed his mind?

    FYI: H5162 ם nâcham, naw-kham'; a primitive root; properly, to sigh, i.e. breathe strongly; by implication, to be sorry, i.e. (in a favorable sense) to pity, console or (reflexively) rue; or (unfavorably) to avenge (oneself):—comfort (self), ease (one's self), repent(-er,-ing, self). Genesis...

    How do we understand verses that say God has changed his mind?

    What about ... Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? 1 Samuel 15:29 “And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor relent. For He is not a man, that He...

    Our special Earth

    Um, I know two people who have circumnavigated the Earth. Atlanta to a transfer in Europe, to a conference in Africa to meetings in India to another conference in South Korea to a convention in California back to Miami and Orlando respectively. At which point should they have fallen off the Earth?

    Our special Earth

    Sure you can have other worlds with earth-like life. All you need is two Mars-Venus size worlds to collide on the orbital plane of a narrow range of spectral class and mass stars to form a single new world with a double sized iron core, a thin silicate crust and an extraordinarily large moon...

    God doesn't want puppets but does he want slaves?

    I like bold italics for scripture. Size 4 is because my iPad makes all the fonts on this site so small that I need to squint to read them. The actual verse was posted because everyone kept making references to it (like don't they wear an ear ring, or they chose to be a slave) but nobody ever...

    God doesn't want puppets but does he want slaves?

    Exodus 21:5-6 “But if the servant declares, ‘I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,’ then his master must take him before the judges. He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life.

    Why?

    The difficulty comes from the Hadith. The Qu'ran is like the equivalent of our 4 Gospels ... the words that everything is built on: the parables of Jesus type of sayings. The Hadith are the writings of the followers of Mohammad (like our apostles) that explain what the Qu'ran really means...

    Is anointing symbolic only?

    Hebrews 1:9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.” 1John 2:20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth. 1John 2:27 As for you, the anointing you...

    Mercy in the Prodigal Son Parable

    Yes, God CHOSE to do it that way (to our eternal benefit). But, God could have forgiven our sins and restored us to a Garden of Eden future, without choosing to have His Holy Spirit live in us or adopting us as sons. God had the option to just show MERCY (to not punish) and maintain the...

    Mercy in the Prodigal Son Parable

    Mercy = You break your mother's favorite vase and do not get a spanking. Grace = You get a present and it isn't even your birthday! Not really the same thing, are they?

    if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

    I always liked the quote: "You need to hold on to STUFF with an open hand rather than a clenched fist ... so it will hurt less if God takes it away." :smile:

    If Christ died for our suffering…

    Acts 5:41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. Apparently it is an honor to suffer. Romans 5:1-5 1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2...

    Mercy in the Prodigal Son Parable

    Deuteronomy 21:15-17 15 If a man has two wives, and he loves one but not the other, and both bear him sons but the firstborn is the son of the wife he does not love, 16 when he wills his property to his sons, he must not give the rights of the firstborn to the son of the wife he loves in...
