Oh... i thought we were talking about being created in the image of God and what that actually meant.

I think that's what Jesus looked like too. I think he looked like a mid-eastern man... At least when he was in human form.

Well, I think we would all need a complete understanding of the trinity to fully understand what God looks like. Yes, Jesus looks like a middle eastern man. Yes, Jesus is God. You can't see the Holy Spirit but he is God also. Do you see where this is going?

When you look at this chart that's starts with a monkey and ends with a man, ask yourself this. Why are there still monkeys which it starts with and men which it ends with but absolutely none of the creatures in between?

There's no debate on evolution. It's a fact. This isn't global warming it's a collection of hard scientific facts that cannot be debated.

Absolutely NOTHING about evolution says man came from monkeys. Do some reading and research. I believe life on this planet was brought here from elsewhere by a being 'not of this world'. That being would be God himself. We cannot understand God, nor comprehend his power. It's simply too 'big' for us dumb humans to understand.

So you don't believe the Bible and just make up your own version of how your God brought man here from another planet, do I have that right?

Do you like BBQ?

A tasty plate of golden fried gulf shrimp?

A dozen raw Appalachia oysters?


A fillet mignon with a lobster tail and drawn butter?

Yes, except I'll take my oysters fried. What's that got to do with the price of tea in China?

All of those things [except the fillet mignon ] are banned by the 'inerrant' Word of God.

My point being is that the Bible is full of metaphors, parables, seemingly outdated bans on all kinds of stuff. I personally don't pick and choose what I want to believe in the Bible, but I do use common sense, current common knowledge, prayer, reflection and I seek God's guidance in my interpretation of the Word.

I will restate my earlier statement, If the Bible was not open to interpretation, then why are there so many Christian denominations? Who's right? Baptist? Methodist? Presbyterians?

You and others infer that there is nothing but a literal interpretation of the Bible, and I'm supposed to believe that the Master of the Universe created smoked Boston butt and New Orleans BBQ shrimp and I can't eat it?

What if aliens brought us here.

I'm sorry but if you understood anything about God's word you wouldn't use your lack of understand the difference between OT and NT to defend the position that God brought man from another planet.

What if aliens brought us here.
