    The Flood: Historical event or Fable?

    The approach taken in your post is that if one word or even one jot or tittle of the scriptures is a mistake or in any kind of error then the whole of holy scripture is impugned and all is thereby made unsafe and unreliable. But do you really think that is the truth? How do you account for the...

    Can you lose your salvation?

    .. I am curious as to why the NASB added the word really to the translation given that evangelicals regard the NASB as especially accurate (that is to say the NASB is regarded as word for word even of the word order and tenses are unnatural in standard English). Other translations that...

    The Flood: Historical event or Fable?

    If that's how you feel then you best stick with waterworld Earth for about a year in Noah's day. I do not feel that way so I believe in God and in the Lord Jesus Christ despite thinking that Noah's story may be rather mythic by modern fact stating historical standards.

    Can you lose your salvation?

    This thread is not attracting comments that I want to spend time writing about. So I just ignore it most of the time. :smirk:

    The Flood: Historical event or Fable?

    It is a "slippery slope towards treating the story as mythic" I agree. The story is not credible when read as water world Earth. It just is not credible when read that way. So you make your choices; believe the story in an incredible reading or believe it is a story that does not speak about the...

    The Flood: Historical event or Fable?

    It is possible that Noah was just no good at navigation and that his boat was useless as a seagoing navigable vessel. It was, after all, described as a big box.

    The Flood: Historical event or Fable?

    What is not obvious is what "everything under heaven" means. You appear to take it as meaning everything under all the sky of the whole planet. In effect every living and breathing thing on the planet except those on the ark died. Why is that the way you read it? Is it because for you "all the...

    The Flood: Historical event or Fable?

    The story says that but you want to treat the story as if it were true for the whole planet.

    The Flood: Historical event or Fable?

    The question is why do you want to make the whole world descend from 8 people and 2 animals of each "kind" that came out of a boat?

    The Flood: Historical event or Fable?

    Andrew. The earth was not covered with water. With all the land covered under many feet of water. If you want to interpret something written in Genesis as meaning that every last bit of land on the planet was under fathoms of water then okay; I will pity you but you can do it if you like. Does...

    The Flood: Historical event or Fable?

    It was not earth covering. The Earth was not a waterworld for a year or so.

    comparing 7 different denominations

    The KJV mentions (in Luke 24:42) honeycomb. Here is the passage from a translation that uses a manuscript that includes honeycomb:(Luke 24:38-43) And he said to them: “Why are you disturbed, and why do these thoughts rise up in your hearts? See my hands and feet, that it is I myself. Look and...

    I admit that cow meat in nice hot chilli beans does taste good but the beans are good even without cow meat.

    Civil discourse - On the Bodily assumption of the Blessed Virgn Mary into heaven.

    .. Do you intend epistemology rather than terminology? Maybe I am misunderstanding your comment but it looks like a definition of a term rather than a theory about how people know what they know. .. .. .. .. Declarations 1 to 5 are what you think so no debate or further discussion seems...
