    Actually, he isn't giving the time for Satan and the angels to get back, they had their chance and they blew it, the extra time if for us humans to get back to Jesus/God.

    Satan and his angels know they are going to get thrown into Hell, but they don't want to go alone, so they are tempting us to sin and trying to drag us down with them. Misery loves company.

    It amazes me with what utter cocksuredness certain folks around here are willing to proudly expound on matters quite beyond the mortal human scope.

    Am I to believe that various members of T-A have some kind of inside track or divine knowledge on the dealings, motivations, and origins of everything on a godly scale?

    If you do, write a book. Start a cult. Go out there and make a whole fuckload of money on your exclusive understanding of the underpinnings of the universe.

    If you don't, please stop the postulating disguised as absolute fact. Not only are you not convincing anyone that you alone are privvy to the singular and absolute Truthâ„¢, you are displaying the quite sizeable arrogance of assuming you know much more than you, or any of us for that matter, actually do.

    Oh, dear lord, I hope people never expect to live beyond 100, on average. Who would want to be that old, anyways? We already have population problems.

    It's not just you, nbrosz, Gwindor and Charles are in it far worse than you, hon. ;-)

    Guys - seriously - behind the deafening prattle and proselytizing on your own brand of "Truth," lies a universe waiting to be explored in earnest. Close your pretentious mouths for a few seconds and maybe even you can learn a thing or two from it.

    Really. Listen to Windmills. There's no reason to belittle someone just because of their beliefs.

    Well when I was studying chemistary when we where make certain concentrate of solution technical you are to write it down 2 part per million per cubic centmeter. You can to save space and time just write 2 part per million. Other chemist would know by the standard assumion that you mean
    2 part per million per cubic centmeter. Before the old testment was written down the if was told orally for afew thousand year. When it was written down the writer assume that when the story teller said someone live for 800 the story teller meant 800 years it really was 800 lunar month's . Some religious sholar are starting to think that is the case with nearly six
    billion people living on this planet no one came even near the living 800 year. It I was to tell someone that the distane from NYC to LA is about 3000 I donot have to say mile as people will assume you mean miles in this case.

    That's Charles and his Big Orange Crayon of Strange Factoid Connection - things don't have to relate for him to find a way to connect them. I'm sure if you ask, he could connect the recent increase in my tuition to some US Government anti-Islamic conspiracy.

    Actually, for once I found it pretty easy to understand what Charles is saying. He's talking about the earlier part in the thread when we were debating the length of time humans lived in the Bible era.

    Basically, he's talking about implied measurements - if a bunch of people are discussing speed limits, you don't need to say that you're talking about mph or km/h or whatever - it's understood. Charles is saying the same thing with regards to the Bible - he believes they used implied measurements of time, which were translated incorrectly. 800 years wasn't 800 years, but 800 lunar months (according to some scholars Charles knows of).

    Fair enough, Jar. But why did he quote *me* before saying it, instead of quoting someone involved in that coversation about length of time, etc?

    The way it seemed was: here I was asking for a step back from this debate about minutia, and then Charles quotes me, and follows it with a flurry of minutiae.

    Eh, whatever.

    OK, well, I can admit I wasn't sure about the Satan part, but anyway, I was just stating some facts, you can't destroy evil, becuase every man and woman has done evil.

    That's the ony thing I wanted to state, the God specified in the Bible is NOT selfish...

    I have not done evil. Prove that i em lying. My cousin has a 3 month old baby. has that 3 month old baby done evil? If she dies will she go to hell or heaven?
    Yes you can destroy evil, by the way what do you mean by evil? Em i evil if i kill a person to save my own life? Can you or the church you are a part of define evil?
    Ever heard of soddom and gomorah? They did not live as god wanted them to so they were destroyed is that not selfish?

    Qilkatal, at some point or another, you've sinned, according to the Bible. You may not be evil, but you've sinned. You can't really sin until you have coherent, cognitive thoughts, so it's not really fair to ask the question do babies go to heaven or hell?

    After all, everyone knows that vampires take their blood to bathe in (being that they ARE virgins) to promote their youthful good looks.

    Ok, if you can say you've never done anything wrong, then can you say you've never made anyone sad, angry or the likes? You've never, ever hurt someone, mentally or physically?

    And about Sodom and Gomorrah, god GAVE the inhabitants a chance to change, but thery didn't...

    And yes, I DID mention babys, read my ENTIRE topic next time :roll:

    Nonono. I was asking YOU if i have done evil not wrong. Are you saying that a person that has made other sad angry or the likes is an evil person? When a person gives birth they often suffer from mental problems afterwards. Does that makes the father evil or the baby?
    As i see it that there is a HUGE difference between wrong and evil.
