Dunno. In this political environment, you never know what's true. Bottom line, protect those at risk and let everyone else back to their lives.

The two are not mutually exclusive, and in a sense you're right. An event is on the horizon known as the rapture. The Church will be taken out of the earth, ushering in the tribulation period. You'll notice in Revelation, the Church is not mentioned after chapter 3 when the tribulation is...

Lots of pushback. I'm shocked these are controversial points. :eek: In all seriousness, though, I do see a correlation between biblical six-day creationism and premillennialism. They are both straightforward literal approaches to biblical history and prophecy. Straying from this approach, I...

Says the guy who doesn't even know the meaning of morning and evening. Nice try. You have no more arguments. Lament all you want. Genesis is true history, men are liars.

Further proves my case. Thank you. The beginning! re’shiyth! The word that defeats all gap theories and shuts the mouth of advocates.

Keep dreaming. Your own proof-texts prove me right. :)

Ah! This is a view that is based on the conflating the terms morning and day, and also evening and night. It's actually caused by an interpretation on your part. A bad one. I forgot who is famous for making this argument, but it's based on a simple misunderstanding of the terms evening and...

Exactly. He deserves nothing less.

Ah, finally got you to voice the actual argument. Now you're in trouble. :) The word beginning in Gen. 1:1 is re’shiyth. As Sailhamer pointed out (to the detriment of his view) re’shiyth can refer to a beginning period, rather than just a beginning point. He gives many examples of this in...

Update. Definitely getting interesting. Update: Illinois State Police Defy Tyrannical Governor — WILL NOT Arrest, Jail Business Owners for Breaking Lockdown

If all else fails he will, but the deck seems to be stacked in Flynn's favor. This judge is going to get struck down. He's violating a recent SC unanimous decision. I believe Flynn would rather be exonerated than pardoned.

"arranging for the fall...." Bingo! Isn't it interesting that you're so opposed to a simple straightforward reading of Genesis, you're willing to embrace fatalism. For the record, no, I do not believe God arranged the fall. It was not cause by the existence of the tree, but rather the...

Meanwhile: Illinois Governor Pritzker Threatens Business Owners with a Year in Prison if They Try to Reopen

Yep. The DOJ just reached out to Gavin Newsom with the same message. DOJ to Gavin Newsom: Start Reopening Churches in California The Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) warned California Gov. Gavin Newsom Tuesday that his reopening plan discriminates against...

Yes. It proves my case, and doesn't help yours. If it did you would have made an argument from it by now.

Irrelevant to the thread. Maybe start a new thread if you want to discuss the purpose of God's various actions. On a side note: I sounds like you're advocating fatalism. You speak of the fall in existential terms rather than volitional terms. I didn't figure you for the hypercalvinist type.

My point stands. None of this refutes it.

It's right there. Day mentioned before night. Close of day mentioned before close of night. Why not just trust that?

The tree didn't cause the fall, Adam caused it. The fall is the result of a choice.

Indeed. I follow Paul's advice, not to go beyond what is written. I don't add things to God's word to harmonize it with man's ideas.
