That’s a good story, but you have no way to prove. It’s a conjecture.

Except for the one that lasted forty years: Hebrews 3:8-9 (NKJV) 8 Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, In the day of trial in the wilderness, 9 Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, And saw My works forty years. Notice it uses the same form “in the day”

Well, they died “in the day” they ate of the tree.

This is a valuable conversation. Do the eternally damned have to live forever in order to be punished forever? I tend to think they do, but it’s not the type of life Christ came to give us, the more abundant kind. But I think I can explain some of the difference, or at least why there is a...

Do you mean any form man takes, including death?

I agree, but why not Moses, too? And the souls under the altar who are told to go back to sleep (“rest a little while longer”)?

Well, it was in the same sentence.

Sure. And a spiritually dead person can ask to bury an old spiritually dead person who isn’t yet physically dead. If you allow for “dead” to mean still alive in one case, you have to allow for it in the other. Jesus understood their question quite well, and restated it for them: Mark 12:26...

My bovine buddies don’t have spots. But they make great steaks and burgers.

Which gives it the power of euphemism. Once you euphemize death, it is no longer death, it's still life. That's my point. Satan said the same thing: "You will not surely die." (I.e., "God's just using a euphemism.") "It DEFINITELY wasn't a prophecy" vs [Act 2:30-31 KJV] Therefore being a...

“Better than that” wasn’t working, so I thought I’d try snark. If you won’t listen to snark either, I’m not sure where else to turn. You’ll have to explain what you mean by thwarting gravity. Gravity is not sentient. It doesn’t have a “will” or intention to be thwarted. Once again you are...

You can probably see why I was confused.

Apparently you understand less about energy than you do about entropy, if that's possible. Maybe they don't understand either biology or evolutionary theory. The general trend of evolution is toward more complex creatures from less complex creatures. More complex creatures require more...

I say this because your posts about entropy are proving the opposite point you're trying to make, but you don't realize it. Raw energy, like that from the sun, increases entropy. Entropy doesn't do work, as you suggested. Both your activity in edging you lawn and activity by other creatures...

Tweedle Derf doesn’t think you understand entropy very well.

You are using Christian terms, but acting like you’re not a believer.

Why untimely? And what did he pass to? Seems like your vocabulary betrays your background, or at least your community’s.

You mean the aorist Redskins. They didn’t win in the past that one time. 😊

Not at all. I’ve addressed many of his comments, and I’ve acknowledged that this kind of back and forth is productive, as long as both sides are responding to the other.

It might with respect to your comment on irony--regarding whether I can see past my own view (which I've done) vs whether you can (which you don't seem to be ready to do). This is the problem--that we need to see the words of the bible as relating to the bible before we see them as relating to...
