[URL=http://answersingenesis.org/docs2005/0131education.asp]]]Evolution & demise of U.S. public school system[/URL] It is my belief that, without a national miracle, America’s public schools are without hope. The courts, the curriculum, age segregation—all seem dead-set to keep evolution as the reigning philosophy of the classroom.[URL=http://www.rae.org/darwinskeptics.pdf]]]3000 skeptics of Darwinims: all Scientists[/URL] Dr. Bergman with little difficulty, assembles a list of almost 3,000 scientists and professors who reject evolutionary naturalism, most of whom hold a Ph.D. degree in some field of science. This is but a small percentage of the estimated 113,000 Darwin skeptic scientists academics and scientists in the United States alone, accordingly to a Harvard researcher (Gross and Simmons, 2006) Foundations of the U.S. are not just undercut, but destroyed by ignorance of- [URL=http://www.rae.org/creator.html]]]A Creator God & Creationism in State Constitutions[/URL] The fact is, America’s public school system today is a failing effort. Religion and morality—what George Washington considered to be the “essential pillars of society”are generally not to be found in the public schools. What is being taught is rather leading to irreligion and immorality. |

DJC49 wrote: DJC49 thinks every version has positive and negative points, -- I suppose he would spurn an NIV Only, or NASB Only, or NKJV Only position as well, but he does not say so explicitly, but one thing is obvious, he attacks the Authorised Bible more than any other version. According to DJC49’s doctrine of imperfect preservation, every Bible including Hebrew & Greek mss contains mistakes. If there is such a thing as a Perfect Bible, it is only the autographs which no longer exist, or it is in the sea of multiple manuscripts and versions, every one of them different and not the same. As far as DJC49 is concerned, no one should presume to know with absolute certainty where the 100% infallible and inerrant Scripture today is. It may be somewhere out there, but precisely where, no believer can tell; the only one who can even come close to telling would be the textual critic, and even then, he cannot be dogmatic or absolutely sure. There is just no perfect standard to judge anything today. This logic of DJC49 is the same kind of logic that helped turn once-upon-a-time fundamentalist—Bart Ehrman—into an agnostic.Where is the Bible? The Bible is nowhere! Why debate brethren? the Alexandrian cult has a proven potential to lead to Ehrmanism. :alert |

All documented with quotes from the founders of your 'scholarship onlyism' cult. These are not ad hominems and character assassinations, and their fruits are borne out by the successive New Age Bible versions.

Jethro wrote: homosexual Christians "rapist Christians"?"If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the Word of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Him. Where the battle rages there the loyalty of the soldier is proved; and to be steady on all the battle front besides, is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point." (Luther's Works. Weimar Edition. Briefwechsel [Correspondence], vol. 3, pp. 81f.) One of the greatest of all evidences that this Book is the Book of books, the very Word of God, is that it has transformed the lives of countless numbers of people through the centuries. Men who were once idolaters, murderers, adulterers, liars, thieves, drunkards, sodomites – to list just a few – have been transformed into holy, godly men, and all because of the teachings of this Book. Men who, like Paul, could describe themselves as the chief of sinners (1 Tim. 1:15), became saints of God. The effects of the Bible, then, prove its divine origin. What other book that has ever been written has had such an effect? Wherever it has gone, it has transformed lives, even whole societies. |

As Jim says,the assault on truth is worse- In a June 20th 2005, interview on the international cable television program Larry King Live, the pastor of one of America’s largest churches said that he does not know who goes to heaven or who goes to hell. When asked if atheists go to heaven, Joel Osteen of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, replied, “I’m going to let God be the judge of who goes to heaven and hell” (Charismanow.com, June 30). When asked where Jews or Muslims go if they don’t accept Jesus Christ, Osteen replied, “You know, I’m very careful about saying who would and wouldn’t go to heaven; I don’t know.” In a letter posted to his web site, Osteen later apologized for being “unclear on the very thing in which I have dedicated my life.” He said: “In my desire not to alienate the people that Jesus came to save, I did not clearly communicate the convictions that I hold so precious.” In fact, in his statements on Larry King Live Osteen was indeed communicating the core conviction of his church-growth philosophy, which is to preach “positive truth.” He has not drawn a crowd of tens of thousands by preaching clearly on eternal Hell as the Lord Jesus Christ did, and even in his “apology” Osteen did not plainly state that those outside of Christ go to an eternal fiery Hell. |

Again, neither the words “God” nor “forbid” are found there.

Both Matt 12:45 and Lk 11:26 speak of a "spirit that takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than ITSELF". Here is a case of a spiritual entity that can see, hear, speak and has a personality, yet the gender is disregarded in the nas and niv, and is referred to as "itself". This spirit was not an inanimate object, but rather a spiritual being with a distinct personality. The same thing occurs in the KJB, nkjv, niv and nasb in Luke 8:29 "For he had commanded the unclean SPIRIT to come out of the man. For oftentimes IT had caught him." Now that your own NASB is shown doing the same thing you supposedly don't like, what corrupt version will you tout? |

Jethro wrote: In ch 20 Ezekiel speaks about 'abominations' The synecdoche of PHYSICAL abominations 'against nature' of sodomy and whoredoms are in context, manifesting the underlying spiritual perversion of Ezekiel's hearers.Dishonestly ignoring that 'lewd' and 'whoredom' define what type of "abominations" he speaks to won't help your error: Nor claiming of confusion over which "20 to 30" abominations Ezekiel has in mind- [eating shellfish? or mixing fabric types?] Ezekiel says in 16:58"Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith the LORD." Ez 20:30's"whoredom after their abominations" proving Ezekiel uses SODOM's sexual sin defined in Genesis,as metalepsis, or double metonymy, Sodom for sodomy, sodomy for their Ashtarte rites. Genesis' depiction of Sodom's destruction comes in the context of Lot telling the Sodomites" Gen. 19:7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly. 19:8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing." Lot's offer as mitigating the "wicked"plans of the sodomites is the context of Ezekiel's condemnation of PERVERSION at 'Bahmah'Ez.20:29 = O Bahmah! |

Jethro wrote: 8/9/08 3:57 PM harlotry and lewdness applied to Israel don't mean exclusively sexual sin, hetro or homo. They are metaphor for abandoning God. 'homosexuality' They include that. You've NOW conceded your ERROR in claiming the Ezekiel passages did NOT include sodomy. But you do it as though you hadn't ever made your false claim. [8/9/08 7:26 AM Jethro] "injustice not homosexuality" &No,not'metaphor 'rather, metonymy where the subject is put for something pertaining to it (for example Genesis 41:13. Deutronomy 28:5 2 Chron.21:11 Jdg.2:17, 1 Cor.10:8 w/Num.25). Specifically Ez.16:17 "Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them," Where the Asherah, phallic worship, SPECIFICALLY led them, in the area of sodomy, to abandon the LORD in their pride, & give "follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature & despise authority" of Lev. 18:20-24, 23:18-19 where they were warned of sexual temptations of pagan religions. Enticement to follow Baal, Asherah,& etc. is tied to their temple sex perversion, both male sodomites & female, & backsliding as in Hos 4:6-14 Ezekiel's whoredom was literal & spiritual. |

Jethro wrote: Ezekiel who identifies the sin of Sodom as lewd abomination, you were going to say? v16:58. Your claim "injustice not homosexuality" doomed them is WRONG- The context of Ezekiel’s denunciation of Israel – who, after all, is the real subject of the prophet’s preaching is Israel’s harlotries & abominations, clearly laid out in the earlier portions of Ezekiel 16, tied to the unfaithful nation’s own wealth & material blessings (vv. 10-14)and that would be the precise impact of Ezekiel’s reference to Sodom.The fatal blow to your silly hermaneutic is in 2 Pet 2 & Jude which link Sodom’s guilt to carnality and sexual perversion. In 2 Peter 2, the apostle said the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah should serve as an example to the wicked of every generation (vs. 6). Lot, he said, continually witnessed “the filthy conversation of the wicked,” who, among other things, “walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness” (vv. 7, 10). Jude 7 makes the sin of Sodom and Gomorrah even more explicit: the inhabitants “giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh,” and what could be stranger than men fornicating with other men? There is no rational way to remove sodomy from the list of sins that doomed these people. |

Dt 23:17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel. 1 Ki.14:22 And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they had committed, above all that their fathers had done.23 For they also built them high places, and images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree. 24 And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel. 1 Ki.15:11 15:12 And [Asa] took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. Lev.18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. Lev.20:12 And if a man lie with his daughter in law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have wrought confusion; their blood shall be upon them.13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death. Sodomites'actions are,in context, equated with evil, whoredom, idolatry,beatiality & incest,etc. |

Christ was made a "curse" for us. (Galatians 3:13). Jesus was scourged (John 19:1) & made to carry His cross & when He stumbled, another was called to carry it (Luke 23:26). Crucifixion can be traced back to the Egyptians (Genesis 40:19) & the Persians (Esther 7:10). It was also practiced by the Assyrians, Scythians, Indians, Germans, and from the earliest times by the Greeks and the Romans. Alexander the Great, after the conquest of Tyre, had two thousand Tyrians crucified as punishment for their resistance. Rome made a science of it as a terror weapon. Crucifixion was a punishment that was only for slaves or malefactors of the worst kind and Roman citizens were exempt from it. If the Jews used this manner for punishment, it was usually done after the death. In other words, the body or the head was tied to a stake and therefore, placing the head on a pole after death was also called crucifixion. From the earliest accounts of the history of crucifixion, it was considered the most horrible form of death. To the Jew, it would seem even more horrible because of the curse in Deut.21:23 Crucifixion was horrible torture, killing by asphixiation, loss of blood and/or shock. But Christ has redeemed even this. Because he OVERCAME IT! This sticks in the craw of the pagans. |
