I said it was implied. I also asked you a question. I had no argument.
What is childish about what I said?

And by the way, I wasn't trying to discredit the Bible, I was asking you about how you would handle a difference between what the Bible says, and what scientists say, or what your personally observe in the world.

If anything "proven" by science contradicts the bible, then man's interpretation of his study is wrong.
Originally posted by twhiteheadI will always believe the bible. Even if my 5 senses do not agree.
What if it is not proven by science, but you personally believe it is true?
If I am sick, I will strive to believe I am healed by His stripes, even if I do not see it in the senses realm.
That is how faith works.
Matt 17:19-21
Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not cast it out?"
20 So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting."
NKJV

I would have a look at this post and ask yourself this.
How much does this sound like Dasa?
Now, ask yourself this.
How do you feel about Dasa's approach to posting and his general attitude to spiritual matters?
Then answer this.
Who is most responsible for this view of Dasa? You or him?
Now if, like me, your answers are:
1 A lot ...[text shortened]... ault.
then I think you need to consider seriously whether this is a path you want to go down.
You need to deride someone, anyone, that you don't agree with.
Don't discuss the topic. It's an act of denial to attack the person, to put them on the defense, to avoid the discussion about the topic.

There is a very clear implication that the earth is flat - reflecting the
belief of the people that wrote it - in the bible.
You may not agree with the conclusion but any thinking person
would see that implication!

You were asked to examine yourself "objectively".
Something you are unwilling even to attempt.
Originally posted by josephwIf i approach the question in prayer and openness to the Holy Spirit, i can feel the truth in a question.
...tell the difference between the truth and a lie about the truth?
Please try to refrain from obscuring the intent of the question. The meaning of truth being as it relates to the context of this forum. Can you tell the difference between what is true about things spiritual, and what is a lie about things spiritual?
If not, why?
If so, how?
One of the first things the Father told me i needed to learn was to recognize His peace in my heart. I know His peace.
