In case you want to learn.

I believe you've already covered this territory - several times over.

Do you believe God used the flood (of Noahs time) to simply rid the world of morally corrupted humans, or do you consider the notion of the Nephilim interbreeding with humanity to the point that Noah was the only human left pure of seed the reason he rid the planet of all 'humanity'? In a nut shell was God simply fed up with moral corruptness of humans or had the fallen Angels (sons of God) almost breed out Gods humanity and force his hand to preserve humanity?

Do we have free will or does god make things happen? It can't be both because either we have free will and a 5yr old girl dying from cancer was just happenstance or god killed her. If he makes good things happen he has to equally make the bad as well.

If there's one god, why are there 32 flavors of the same religion?

Explain why science says that Earth is millions of years old and the bible says thousands.

Bible does not say anything about the age of the Earth.

It does mention that a day in heaven is like a thousand years and a thousand years (in heaven) is like a day (on earth). The concept of this statement is only to demonstrate the meaning of time in heaven, ie. that time is meaningless in heaven.

An apple is like an orange, but it is not an orange.

The universe itself is created in 7 of God's days, but the bible doesn't quantify how long or short is a God day.

Therefore, the time of the universe and Earth time coincides with science. Evolution is a tool God uses to create.

God gave the angels free will. He also gave man free will. He can choose to kill all that is living on Earth as that is his prerogative. It is not evil to kill.
God says do not murder in one of his commandment. It is commonly mistranslated as do not kill.

Also, keep in mind that everything is as God planned it. You can say he knew it all along and had chosen the best path. Only God knows why it is the best, but I am certain it is the best.

How did you decide which parts of the bible you want to follow and which parts you conveniently ignore?

We have free will from our perspective, which is all that matters.

One God, many humans who corrupt. Also remember the enemy is actively at work to corrupt God's word.

Just keep Love and Sola Fide in mind and you'll be ok.

I hate to say this but truth needs to be blunt, this question was loaded to actually test your knowledge and understanding of the Bible and Gods word, both of which you failed miserably. You are in no position to speak of answers and surely are in no position to answer questions about Christianity.

The true meaning of this thread has shown it colors.

What did Jesus do in India during his "missing" years?

I'm not sure, but I can explain a certain mindset on my own theory of why it was necessary for there to be those missing years.

Remember that Jesus is both human as well as God. His human part has to come to grips with his God part.

I think of it this way. I imagine how Jesus must feel to suddenly know himself as God incarnate. I know that he must take time get used to it as well as to know and accept his mission, which is to die for all mankind.

So god creates famine, kills innocent children etc?

You can say that God's desire to give man free will led to evil through no fault of God.

Death doesn't mean much to God. All truly innocent children dies and goes to heaven.

There is no such thing as mortal sin.

Thank you for your honest opinion. Please teach me by referring to scripture to support your point. As a sola-scripturian I will need you to refer to specific scriptures.

Reading comprehension fail. Even a first grader can tell you that a day in Genesis is just that, a day. Not a thousand years.

Only stupid scholars think otherwise.

Genesis 1:5 ...And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Genesis 1:8 ...And the evening and the morning were the second day.
Genesis 1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
Genesis 1:19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.
Genesis 1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
Genesis 1:31 And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Here's my question, can you go away? Why don't teach you religion to people who have never read the Bible? Anybody born in the West has already heard about the Christian God.

Every religion is just a spinoff of another. There's no such thing at God's word, only how the individual interprets it, which changes from day to day.
