If you believed this, you would not suggest that someone can have both the God of the bible and evolution. So here you are admitting that you believe the statements in the bible literally mean what they say.....yet you've contradicted this in the past on here by suggesting that one can believe both. Yet you were fully aware that one belief would be compromising the other as they are polar opposites.

As I am a believer, I do not need to reconcile my beliefs with evolution, simply to fit it in with the proponents of evolution. There is no evidence evolution has even occured, therefore I am not obliged to believe it. And as I have said, so far there has been nothing that has contradicted what the bible has already taught. Whether one is an atheist or not, you cannot have it both ways. Fence sitters don't get into Heaven. Christ said you are either for Me, or against Me. Either you accept Him at His word, or you doubt Him and instead take onboard a philosophy that seeks to exclude God completely or at the very least undermine the foundation of the bible, which is the beginning/Genesis, which then throws doubt on every other area of the bible. Even Jesus said "if they believe not Moses, how will they believe that one rose from the dead"? Even Jesus knew the price of compromising the word of God at any stage in the bible.



I don't need to provide anything, God has provided everything. More than enough for anybody to believe. God has provided the bible, His word and HIs son Jesus Christ to die on a cross for our sins, the witnesses and the miracles that have occured down throughout the ages. If we deny Him, He in turn will deny us. It's faith and it's faithfulness. My God IS God. Tell me what other God has died for the sins of His creation and risen from the dead? Has power over life and death, has the keys to eternal life, performed miracles through His son Jesus Christ as a testament to His divinity amongst many witnesses, continues the same work through us with the Holy Spirit to this day. Hey, you can choose to believe it's false if you wish. Again, I am not obliged to provide anything more than what God has already given, one is truly without excuse. You are already quoting from the bible yourself, what more do you need than God's word Linear? Do you need to be spoon-fed? Many people have not even had the chance.



There are people who know God through His creation. They may not know God as "Christ", as their personal savior. God would not reject these people! because they do not know. It is those who KNOW the truth, have heard the truth and have rejected the truth simply because it satisfies their lifestyle and intellectual pride, are the ones I speak of. Not those that are innocent. I believe there is more than enough to draw a person to God, and to draw anybody back to God (if they have gone astray). As I have said to you, God, through His creation has provided more than enough proof that He exists. Rejection of that truth is the choice of the one who rejects. When we get down to "who" this "God" really is (the person of God) is when we share with people the good news of salvation with others. Jesus also said Linear that when you share this with others and they reject it, shake the dust from your feet and move on. The miracles of Christ and those who witnessed them are a reality, not a fable and they continue today as evidence that Christ never left us, but rather sent His Holy Spirit. The workings and miracles still being done in the name of Jesus happen around the world. You must know this? What excuse does anybody have anymore when the technology is at their finger tips? They have a bible in front of them and can get one from anywhere. Some people do not even have this, but you, like most of us do. But again those that are not interested will turn their face away regardless of what they are given. You cannot give answers to a person that does not want them. To those that believe, no explanation is necessary, to those that do not, no explanation is possible.



What evidence? The fossil evidences I have given an example of that shows no sign of any evolution whatsoever. How are you going to refute a fossil? It shows it's no different then than it is today. .. and always have been as far as the evidence shows. So far, nothing has contradicted what the bible has already taught us. I am not immune to deceptions, who hasn't been deceived? But I believe there is greater protection and clarity when one sincerely tries to walk with God. I do not believe that He leaves someone in a state of deception, if they are sincere and searching for truth. If however they are deliberately blocking anything that speaks of design, simply for the sake of saving face or any other reason, the only person they are fooling in the end is themselves. Sometimes this is simply a problem of pride and personal sin, because this can blind a person to God's truth. They can in a sense, deceive themselves.

You are totally correct. Thessalonians 2:11 - And therefore God sends on them
a power that deludes people so that they believe what is false, and so that those who do not believe the truth and take their pleasure in wickedness may all be condemned.

Make sure Linear that you read what was stated earlier than this so you understand why and what it is actually directed at. Can evolution be put under the same catagory? I don't know, as it is not directly stated, so I could not be certain. Though I do believe evolution has actually been referred to in the bible in certain respects, though not by "name" (as dinosaurs are also referred to in the bible, but they did not have the name dinosaur (no surprise).

I am doubtful that God "sent" the theory of evolution, though I believe it's a deception, I believe it was created by man and allowed by God. Many of it's believers have indeed been deceived, but I do not believe that they are all "condemned". Only God knows a person's heart and that would depend very much on their intention, sincerity, humility etc, but again, they have His word, so it is still down to choice and I believe it is one of the battles and testings of the latter days (which I believe we are living in). Let us not forget the Devil isn't exactly sitting in the background idle either. Many things are being perpetrated to lead a person away from God, whether through intellectual pride, false science, materialism etc.

Some tell themselves that there are many ways to eternal life, yet Christ says there is one way. And it is through Him. He said "I am the way, the truth and the life". (Not a way, a truth and a life) Reject Him? You reject the Father. For He stated "My father and myself are one in the same". There is only one God Linear, not lots of gods. There is only one creator, one mastermind behind the universe. The bible makes it very clear, history makes it very clear.

As Christ told us to share the good news of salvation with others, but those that reject these truths, shake the dust from your feet and move on. He made this very clear and it really is not in a person's good interest to keep throwing their pearls before swine, when there are plenty of other people out there whose hearts are open and ready to receive the light of the gospel.

By the way, why do you want me to type out what that video already contains? It is only 52 minutes long and does not require you to sit there downloading for hours. Even on dial up, you will be able to watch that relatively quickly. You may only have to wait a little while, or push play a few times during the viewing. That's all it takes. I suggest you take the time out of your busy schedule and give it a view. If you really want evidence or at least to hear the young earth/7 day side, then you surely you'd be willing to view this. If however, it's really not something you want to hear, then I fully understand why you would not wish to watch it.

But please don't expect me to sit here typing it out to you when someone qualified and clear who understands this far more than I do, has literally given it to you from the own mouth in only 52 minutes. You have rejected it and instead preferred to state that I've given nothing on here in support of young earth/7 day creation, which is simply a lie.
