Re: Introverts & Fellowship
A solution would be to feel comfortable meeting and having fellowship with new folks. Have you arrived at that place of comfort yet? I think that I have in most situations. I can understand how you feel about the superficiality of social gatherings. I agree that the way most people handle these sit...

Re: Introverts & Fellowship
Hi Jason, Many people can sympathize with what you are experiencing, I'm sure. I struggle with exactly this same sort of thing myself on a daily basis. You might find it encouraging to know that to a large extent, I think I can honestly say that I've managed to overcome my tendency towards introvers...

Re: Literally 6 Days
There is no indication that the original creation was corruptible. God said that it was GOOD! It's because Adam and Eve Sinned There's no such thing as a "lesser" paradise I can't see how you think the original creation was not corruptible. If it were not corruptible, Adam and Eve could not have si...

Re: Literally 6 Days
Hi Dwight, Yes, the 7 day range is the aspect of the creation week that I was referring to. The question is, is 7 significant because it's the number of days it took God to finish the creation or is 7 significant for other reasons? 7 is obviously used many, many other times in Scripture. Many of tho...

Re: Literally 6 Days
Hi Dwight, There are other people who certainly share your opinion about the passages regarding unclean foods. I can understand how doing things the Law prohibited would make a person uncomfortable. In that regard, what are your views on the following passages? Matthew 15:11; 1 Corinthians 10:25; Ro...

Re: Literally 6 Days
Your so-called reasons appear to me to be vague generalities. I don't remember you giving me any specific examples of any of them. If you're seriously willing to at least consider the viewpoint I'm presenting, please browse this thread again to find my references. They aren't hard to find if you're...

Re: Literally 6 Days
God obviously knows our nature. He knows that we will take Genesis literally, unless Genesis itself gives us a reason not to. I've already given you several aspects of Genesis that I believe give us such reasons. You may not find them convincing. I and others do. That's certainly your right. Ultima...

Re: Literally 6 Days
God's word needs no embellishment to make it more entertaining. I'm not suggesting that God embellished His word merely to make it more entertaining. I think His purposes were loftier than that. Even loftier than merely communicating a basic understanding of how He created the universe. As counter ...

Re: The "little horn" and "the man of lawlessness"
Hi Steve, The reformers believed the ten horns represented the European nations into which the Roman Empire dissolved after the fall of Rome in 476. I would also mention that the above view of the little horn was not held widely in the Eastern Church, which saw the four beasts of Daniel 7 as Babylon...
