Indentured Servant

I only meant that it was in response to something previously stated. I assumed people would read it. If I thought this was a "debate ONLY" forum, I would have withheld my submission to this topic, as I have previously indicated that I am (attempting to) back out of this conversation. It was obviously an error to post something that violated anyone's doctrinal upbringing. will you, and others, allow me to excuse myself from this conversation? Please...

...

Everything that I've been shown conforms with Scripture. I specifically asked that He allow me the ability to "share his thoughts." Incidentally, I never said that I believe the earth was "unknown millions" of years old. I absolutely believe it is less than 10,000 years old. There is research conducted by Canadian and Russian scientists that dates this planet's age as such, and no older.

I would never presume to critique the work of our Creator; however, I have every right and responsibility to critique human interpretation against what I've been shown. I chose to not to mention my communications with God, and will ask that you not critique His sharing of information with me. My comment was intended as a response to a specific person's post, not as fodder for debate. Admittedly, my comment was made using human reasoning. I suppose I could have just completed this by explaining everything in the manner in which I've seen it. Had I, I would immediately be rejected by everyone on here, since most people don't believe that God has the power to answer questions that we ask of Him in His Name, despite His invitation to do so. My apologies for any offense I may have caused. I will humbly leave this thread if my words have become an affront to your traditional beliefs. "Do all you can to live peaceably with others."

I am intrigued by this. I ask people why, if planet was non-existent prior to the first day of creation, why did God have to change it from "formless and void" (common translation) to taking the first couple days to make customized changes to it? If He'd just then created it, (and the whole universe), why wasn't it already the way He envisioned it to be? Of course, this has been mulled over now and then for centuries, but it is a fascinating perspective.

This was well written and inspiring. Jesus mentioned in Matthew 22:43 that David was "speaking by the Spirit" when he wrote Psalm 110. It is fascinating that (certain) Psalms can reveal to us this "in the Spirit" activity that God certainly wants to commune with each, and all, of us in this way. Thank you for this... I'll call it a "devotion" rather than a study. It would be welcoming to be a part of a gathering that was led by the Spirit in this way and allowed biblical guidelines to be used in groups. My in-the-Spirit meetings are currently me and the Lord...

You actually think the world owes you an explanation for everything you don't understand?! You have issues that extend past your lack of trust. What is your real intent here? To expose the global conspiracy against YOU?! My initial response should have sufficed. Had I known you were going to make demands and accusations against me, I would not have wasted my time... I supposed I found in you what I expected, as well. Perhaps I'd hoped for more than you have to offer. Please stop with your venomous comments. I sincerely meant to just offer that I, too, thought this was impossible... But rather than turn on everyone who offered information, I actually lifted a finger for myself. I suggest you do the same. It may change the self-inflicted "me-agsunst-the-world" persona you've comfortably wrapped yourself in... And ditching the self-righteous attitude that your refusal to try something new gives you a right to strike out at others might allow others to trust showing you thigs even though they know you'll reject them no matter how much proof or evidence you're shown. Please stop making harassing comments to me. I really thought my response was helpful. Please stop. I'm sorry if you're offended, but I do not deserve your hatred. Please stop.

I won't share details, but I "see" what God is speaking to me. I prayed like a prophet, and He granted me the insight of a prophet. He has shown things to me, and guided me to through Scripture to find Him and to have validation for the "Word" He has given me. I took Him at His Word... He has a standing invitation for anyone to ask for wisdom, understanding, insight, and the "hidden things." Through this, He has taught me to discern between scripture and manmade interpretations of scripture. I used to suffer thinking He is sometimes not there... After getting to know Him, I've realized He's always with me, but sometimes just silent unless I'm actively seeking Him.

I wasn't aware that you didn't have two pennies and a light bulb. Pictures won't "prove" anything to someone who refuses to see truth. If I offered my photos, you would accuse me of faking them, I'm sure. When I said it was a simple experiment, I meant even you could figure it out if you just tried. If you're not willing to invest a little effort, why would you insist that I do? I owe you nothing.

I had photos, showed them to a flat earth proponent who wanted to argue it was impossible. I no longer invest my time in such matters, but I just thought I'd share that it is possible. Knowing the size and distance of both sun and moon and their relative positions when viewed from earth during a solar eclipse, this can be, and has been, calculated to show this, as well. It wouldn't take having the sun occupy any more of our view to accomplish this. Just a point to offer, if I may... When making reference to the sun, there are those who might take you more seriously if you don't describe it as "orange," or even yellow, for that matter. Some people may mistakenly measure one's ability to understand simple science because of this common misconception. It's not a difficult experiment. If I'd never gotten myself backed into a conversation that challenged me, I probably would not have found this out on my own.

When Jesus called Satan "Beelzebub," it was a play on words. Translated, it is "Lord of the (dung) Flies." The word sounded like the phrase, "Lord of Possession," indicating that Satan and his "flies" could possess other living beings, (even pigs), but not have their own form. The context of this passage was about being possessed.

Easy experiment... I tested this by casting a shadow of a penny onto another penny. The shadow was smaller, because the light source was larger. The sun is much larger than the moon; and even at such a greater distance, it is still large enough to cast a smaller solid shadow.
