    What exactly do we govern/judge in the universe (kosmos)?

    The following is loosely based on Dan Barker's Easter Challenge:

    The women come towards the tomb, but haven't arrived yet. The sky isn't light yet: [Jhn 20:1 KJV] The first [day] of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, ... [Mat 28:1 KJV] In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first [day] of the...

    I saw your OP when you first posted it, and I wanted to attempt it, but didn't have time--it involves a fair amount of cutting and pasting, along with detailed commentary. I probably still don't have time, but I'd like to try soon.

    Is death just another life?

    I guess that's like the Calvinists inventing TULIP in response to the Remonstrants at Dort.

    When my son was only about 3, someone asked him if he had any brothers. He replied, "No, but I have a sister and she has a brother." I thought that was pretty clever for a 3 year old.

    Is death just another life?

    Seems like your examples are backwards, with New York being called New York before it existed. Does sin make us stupid (as Bob liked to tell us)? Yet we don't call death "stupidity". Just because sin separates us from someone doesn't mean we're dead. Sin separates us emotionally from our...

    Is death just another life?

    Ok. Thanks for clarifying. It actually says He put the spirit/breath into man (Adam), not "into his body". In other words, the spirit/breath of life was added to man to make man a living soul. [Gen 2:7 KJV] And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils...

    Is death just another life?

    Are you saying "death" is just a figure of speech? I'll come back to that later. No apology needed, these threads are impossible to read in entirety, and although this ground has been covered, it's the primary topic of the thread, and needs to be reiterated. So I'll try to do that. My question...

    Is death just another life?

    How else would you refer to them? If a bunch of people had disembarked from a plane, what would you call them? Wouldn't it be "passengers"? But they, having already disembarked, are no longer passengers. What did God call Adam while he was still alive? He called him "dust", even though he...

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    Have we just circled back about 500 posts?

    Is death just another life?

    Maybe the kind that need both to be raised and quickened: John 5:21 KJV — For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    But you believe we can claim knowledge about the creation from the prophetical books. If we're only going to allow genesis from others, then let's all just use genesis.

    I think you're in the wrong thread. Please take your comment to the Washington Post thread, where it belongs. 😉

    That should tell you something about the Harvard Journal of Law and Technology.

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    Yes, a canopy that was supposedly impossible. I'm suggesting that if you pick parameters that make it impossible, then if course it will be impossible. But if what we currently have could be called a canopy, and the world doesn't come to an end, then a canopy might have existed prior to the...

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    @Right Divider, @Yorzhik Check out Job 36:29 in th NKJV. It talks about a canopy even after the flood. Job 36:29 NKJV — Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of clouds, The thunder from His canopy? And this one describes it: Psalm 18:11 NKJV — He made darkness His secret place; His...
