Re: Original Sin / Sinners by Birth or Not

To answer the question first you must know God's definition of sin. 1 John 3:4 ¶ Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law . Next, are babies under law? Is there any way to communicate law to them and for them to understand it and then choose to bre...

Re: Why Create?

Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself , according to the good pleasure of his will , 6 To the praise of t...

Re: Stars Went Billions of Years Back in Time When Created.

All matter exists in space according to the common explanation. Matter actually exists in the form of quarks (which make up neutrons and protons) and electrons (a type of lepton). These constituents in relationship form atoms. Atoms may be bound to other atoms forming molecules. There is space betwe...

Re: Stars Went Billions of Years Back in Time When Created.

Zoe,
I don't know of any. Personally, I have real problems accepting that space is being "stretched".

Re: Stars Went Billions of Years Back in Time When Created.

Because the mere suggestion is so preposterous that I can dismiss it with the snap of my fingers. Why is it 10,000 years old? This is because of unchanging dogma right? There is a point when open mindedness just becomes stupidity and you are letting all kinds of crazy horse manure go through your m...

Re: Stars Went Billions of Years Back in Time When Created.

Seriously, Kristoffer:
based on what others are saying
1. space is absolute.
2. absolute space is expanding all over the universe.
3. the earth occupies space.
therefore, the earth is expanding along with the space it occupies and at the same rate.

Re: Stars Went Billions of Years Back in Time When Created.

Just had a thought.
If space is expanding (stretching), then the space the earth occupies must be expanding at a rate equal to the rest of space. The earth is growing in size at the same rate as the rest of the universe. Also, the sun and the space between the sun and the earth. :shock:

Re: Stars Went Billions of Years Back in Time When Created.

The idea of absolute space has proved particularly controversial from Newton's time to the present. For example, Leibniz was of the opinion that space made no sense except as the relative location of bodies, and time made no sense except as the relative movement of bodies Leibniz agreed with me. Th...

Re: Stars Went Billions of Years Back in Time When Created.

The basic answer, however, is quite simple. Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light through space. This does not, however, limit the speed at which space can expand. In the first 1E-35 seconds (that is 0.00..(34 zeroes)..01 seconds after the big bang the universe expanded to a diameter of...

Re: Stars Went Billions of Years Back in Time When Created.

Kristoffer- What you are expressing is personal relativity. Our perception of time is relative to our life experience. When I was 4, a year was a quarter of a lifetime, or half of a lifetime that I could remember. When I was 10, a year was less because it was a 10th of a lifetime, etc. That is why t...

Re: Stars Went Billions of Years Back in Time When Created.

I think the question is, "how much do we want to stick with a simplistic view of space and time?" Relativity makes it quite clear that time is totally relative. Time progresses at different rates. On the one hand, everyone seems enamoured with the possibility of time travel derived from re...

Re: Vegetarian dinosaurs?

Oh no, quite the opposite. There is a lot of truth to be had, just the "holy" books seem to be pretty dubious. And what is your source and guide for truth? Well it used to be science and scientific truth, but now i'm not so certain that it is the only kind around. I commend you for your h...

Re: Stars Went Billions of Years Back in Time When Created.

Dayage I am familiar with the verse in Zechariah that says the Lord "stretcheth forth the heavens". Don't stoop to accusing me of not believing the Bible. I thought you were above that. The Hebrew word natah is translated stretcheth. Natah is also used in reference to God stretching out hi...
