LF, you're hitting the nail on the head. 

 

'An imaginary cure for an imaginary disease.' That's what christianity is offering via the imaginary concepts of original sin and salvation from original sin. My first line is a paraphrase from a Campbell lecture.

Well I am trying to hit the nail on the head... I'm just not getting a response... which is very telling :scratch:. BAA and I have had no response since around January. Possibly my set of questions so far unanswered simply go to a place where IH is not prepared to go?

 

That line ties in with Hitchen's comments to the effect that God first creates the situation in which one needs saving, then provides the mechanism by which one can be saved. "Playing tennis without the net" I think he referred to it as.

Ironhorse please respond to the following questions:

 

1) Do you stand by your statement in relation to repopulation after the flood: "I think it’s a good guess that incest with immediate family members was long gone" in light of my evidence that Noah's Son's Son's and Daughters were immediate family and thus even after the flood incest wasn't "long gone"?

 

I stand by that view. I not going to claim how I view these passages is the absolute truth.

 

2) How would any purity argument fit into evolutionary theory as previously discussed (see post #86)?

First: “Your entire salvation depends on how well you 'guess' Ironhorse.”

 

No, salvation is in Christ, not how well I think or guess about God.

See my answer to your first question. My answer has nothing to do with my salvation.

How would it fit in evolutionary theory? I have no idea.

 

3) In light of the obvious conflicts with incest, and evolutionary theory, do you not think that both the creation and flood stories are myth/fables or metaphorical?

 

I think they actually occurred as stated in the scriptures. We can go around and around on what literary devices that might or might be at play in the story, but it does not change the main message of the text.

Ironhorse, thank you for answering after some 84 days. Better late than never. However, given the time I would have expected a more robust answer as you do seem capable of doing so.

 

Let us go back to the beginning: My three questions above resulted from this assertion from your post #49:

 

 

 

Ironhorse said:

I think it’s a good guess that incest with immediate family members was long gone.

This was in relation to Noah's flood.

 

I have clearly demonstrated that incest abounded in Noah's day based on biblical information, but per your answer to question 1, you stand by your statement/view that it was long gone despite that I have shown your view is demonstrably false.

 

Question 4) If you wish to stand by your view that incest was "long gone" by what mechanism do you propose that the humans repopulated?

 

Regarding question 2, according to you, salvation is in Christ, that came to save us from original sin, and who was of the line of Adam. If evolutionary theory is true, then Jesus was not of the line of Adam, and the entire reason and plan of salvation fails, so your view on these subjects is of utmost importance. Unless you can do some amazing mental gymnastics and do some whirly twirl interpretation of the bible.

 

Question 5) Do you accept evolutionary theory? (Human descended from primates over millions of years)

 

This ties into my question 5 above. Regarding question 3 in the top quote, where I was asking if you thought the Genesis stories are myths or metaphorical you answered "I think they actually occurred as stated in the scriptures." So by this I am understanding you are taking the biblical accounts of creation and Noah's flood literally? If this is the case then:

 

Question 6) Can you confirm whether you are a young earth creationist, or an Old earth creationist?

 

 

We are at 15 days and counting. Please answer.

 

Thanks

LF

Bump.

IH It is now 20 days and no reply. Please address my questions 4,5 & 6 in BLUE

 

Well I think its time for a ... Bump!

 

Ironhorse

 

I see you are active at the moment (6-3-17, 4:18 UTC) . Please address questions 4, 5 and 6 in the quoted portion above.

 

Thanks

LF

 

Here we go again.

 

Ironhorse we haven't finished our conversation. Please answer questions in blue above.... before I go blue in the face from waiting.

 

Ironhorse next time you are able to post, please address my questions 4,5 and 6 in blue in the quoted portion

 

I've lost count of days waiting for reply.

 

And for goodness sake please answer BAA... the poor guy is hanging out for an answer!

 

Might I note that there are a total of 4 questions outstanding combined of BAA and myself. None of them are particularly difficult, or require a long technical answer. I can probably safely assume that if you have read these requests and the posts that you have already answered them in your head within seconds. So do be honest and continue the discussion.

 

Thanks

 

LF

 

Bump for the umpteenth dozen time.

 

Oh Ironhorse, the pipes the pipes are calling, from glen to glen, and down the mountain side....

 

Please answer or I'll end up like ol Danny Boy in the song before you reply.

 

IRONHORSE

Now that I have your attention, please answer questions 4-6 above.

 

Thanks

 

LF

 

 

Oh Ironhorse, the thread, the thread is calling.
From glen to glen and down the mountain side.
The summer's gone, and all the roses falling.
It's you, It's you, must go, and I must bide. (My time)
 
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow.
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow.
I'll be here in Sunshine or in Shadow
Oh Ironhorse, Oh Ironhorse, please answer me.

Sigh. It's time for another bump.

 

At this point, since IronHorse either has severe technical difficulties, or is refusing to answer I challenge any Christian to pick up Ironhorse's mantel and answer my questions. Heck if you want to go back to my very first post and answer I'm most happy to run through the whole subject again.

This is further empirical evidence that Ironhorse, aka Tin Pony, aka Pewter Jackass, is a coward.

Genesis is another example of how little God understood his own creation. According to scientists, our planet was once home to several hominid species, including homo sapiens yet the Bible claims only one species were created (obviously homo sapiens). I recon The Almighty(tm) did not get the memo? Cain's wife would have come from another hominid, perhaps cross-breeding, so Jesus (Iesus-whatever his name is now) is part neanderthal and whatever else interbred or cross bred with homo sapiens. I've often believed humans were not the only ones in town, nor the only branch on their tree.

Ironhorse, since you are back and in force creating new topics, would you be so kind as to answer the queries below you have avoided for so long?

 

Question 4) If you wish to stand by your view that incest was "long gone" by what mechanism do you propose that the humans repopulated?

 

Question 5) Do you accept evolutionary theory? (Human descended from a common ancestor over millions of years)

This will be the tenth (10th) time I've put this question to you, Ironhorse.

 

Ironhorse, were you just giving your view or just speculating, when you wrote this...?

Posted 14 October 2016 - 12:04 PM

Since Adam lived several hundred years, having lots of children was not a problem.  This would mean that Cain married a sister, niece, or some other relation, and their children had children, etc.

The genetic line in these early times was pure. So the prohibition against incest was not yet proclaimed.

In honour of BAA I'm trying to get @ironhorse to answer this question. I'm not sure where BAA was going with this but I might read through and carry on his thought if IH does the courtesy of answering.

Re-bumpity-bumped (a lot) for Ironhorse's attention.

 

Please answer the question you've been avoiding for 10 months.

 

Ironhorse, were you just giving your view or just speculating, when you wrote this...?

Since Adam lived several hundred years, having lots of children was not a problem.  This would mean that Cain married a sister, niece, or some other relation, and their children had children, etc.

The genetic line in these early times was pure. So the prohibition against incest was not yet proclaimed.

 

If you have nothing to fear, nothing to hide and nothing to lose, please answer this simple question.

 

Thanks,

 

BAA.

 

@ironhorse Please answer BAA's question above.

@florduh @SkipNChurch with the passing of Ironhorse our discussion has come to an abrupt end and there is nothing further to discuss here.

 

I thank everyone for their contributions, especially BAA who worked closely with me on this thread, in our discussions about the theological issues regarding the first chapters of the Bible.
