faithful -That's the one; his web site is www.reasons.org. His first book, "The Genesis Question", is a classic, and has earned a permanent place on my bookshelf. Be careful about using a label which means different things to different people; everyone seems to have his own definition of "theistic evolution". Ross argues that species have become extinct and that God has created new species to accomplish his purposes as the environment has changed over the centuries and millennia as earth has been prepared for occupancy by mankind. This is NOT evolution. And beware of wikipedia articles. Because wikipedia allows anonymous posting, malicious individuals not infrequently post false information. |

lance -By your reasoning, then, multiple generations of Christians didn't know for sure which books were divinely-inspired? I don't think so. If the Bereans in the first century could discern which documents and teaching to accept and which to reject, so could others -- and so can we today; Acts 17:11. The early Church was a persecuted Church -- persecuted by the Jew and by the Papist (who, in reality, are one and the same). Lives were at stake over matters of Faith. Truth delivers, but error entraps and can kill. It is blasphemous to assert that the Lord left his sheep without the means of determining whether a document is genuine or a forgery. They could not depend upon the temporary spiritual gifts, for the gifts ceased once the Canon was complete, I Corinthians 13:8-10. It was essential for them to know which documents are canonical. |

all -I find it curious that you think it proper that a bunch of Papists (or proto-Papists; in any case, the doctrinal foundations of Papistry by then had been laid) two or three centuries removed from the apostles had the God-given prerogative to judge whether a particular document is canonical, but you do not have that prerogative. So you allow men who believe in concepts such as Purgatory to decide for you which of the many contending documents have a rightful place in the Scripture. And inasmuch as the bickering over canonicity continued over two or three centuries, when did the Lord grant the authority to decide, and when did he withdraw it? From passages such as the 19th chapter of Luke, I think that the Lord, Christ Jesus, is not pleased with those who abdicate the responsibility which he has given them. I Thessalonians 5:21. |

33k & anna - You each cite but one testimony, as if it were authoritative. As I stated previously, there is much testimony on either side of the matter. With a Google search or a trip to the library, you can access thousands upon thousands of documents which testify that the creation account of Genesis is a myth and that the things which exist are the product of evolution. But such testimony is false, and therefore is of no weight. The point I am making is that not all testimony is valid; the volume of testimony has no necessary correspondence with the truth of that testimony. In the mind of the wise, an ounce of truth outweighs a ton of lie. |

33k -It's no "April fool" joke; search Google for yourself, any day of the year. And yes, it was stupid of the forger, but his victims are even more stupid not to notice such an obvious defect. anna - One astute observer has noted regarding the term "anti-Semitic", that it "describes not someone who hates the Jew, but, rather, someone who is hated by the Jew." In particular, see the epistles of Paul to Timothy and to Titus, in which the Greek word MUTHOS ("myth") refers to Jewish myth. In the KVJ, MUTHOS is translated "fable". |

anna -Christians in general have embraced much Jewish myth. This is a matter concerning which the apostle Paul repeatedly warns. Regarding anne frank: As with many matters, the evidence must be sorted through and evaluated. A Google search for "anne frank diary ballpoint" turns up testimony which avers the assertion and testimony which denies it. For example: "The results of tests performed at the BKA laboratories show that portions of the work [Anne Frank's diary], specially of the fourth volume, were written with a ballpoint pen." - Al Fredricks, New York Post, October 9, 1980 You must weigh the testimony and decide for yourself what to believe. |

hranek -Perhaps you do not realize that, by clicking on the magnifying glass icon, you can read all the postings corresponding to a given name or alias. If you had taken taken the trouble to do so, and if you are honest, you would see how absurd are most of the questions you have asked. For example, nothing I have posted would lead anyone to expect from me the claim that Christ Jesus is the "brother" of Lucifer, so for you to ask the question is to defame me. Likewise, the question about the rosary; no one has done more to expose the true, vile nature of Papistry. Moreover, others have posted the URL of a website which would answer your questions and which you obviously have not visited. So if you wish an answer, do not ask defamatory questions. I noticed one posting as "expositor" made by someone else, but almost anyone should be able to recognize my postings. |
