He actually was. He called me "Edgar". I asked him what it was I have a problem with.

A couple gentiles were illustrated in the gospels because they had more faith than the Israelites.

This means that in the end the mission of the disciples was to take what he had said to the wider world. Thus the message was meant for everyone, and even if Jesus (as Man as much as God) didn't know that, God did.

You lose yet again and I get to press the button!!!
You stated ". . . in the end the mission . . . ." In the end of what?

Jesus told them that the disciples would not finish evangelizing Israel before He returned. It is only after Christ returns, which He will, that He sets up His millennial kingdom in Israel and THEN the disciples will make disciples of all nations. They will Judaize the nations. Paul never did that.

You have a lot of atheist ideas inhering in your misunderstandings.

So you are saying that if Jesus did not specifically state not to do something, it is OK? Is that your position?

Showing us once again how misinformed you are about the subject of Evolution.

Humans did not evolve from apes. We share a common ancestor with apes.

Let me repeat: Humans did not evolve from apes, gorillas or chimps. We are all modern species that have followed different evolutionary paths, though humans share a common ancestor with some primates, such as the African ape.

You really should stop making misinformed statements about a subject that you have absolutely no understanding of.

Nor can you prove one single shred of nonsense written in that joke of a book called the bible.

And yes we can demonstrate that life evolved from a single cell.

See folks why America has slipped to the bottom out of 41 countries in STEM? It's this type of mind that has led us down that path.

A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is acquired through the scientific method and repeatedly tested and confirmed through observation and experimentation.

Scientific theories are the most reliable, rigorous, and comprehensive form of scientific knowledge.

Faith-Based means affiliated with, supported by, or based on a religion or religious group.

You are not helping America's image with your posts.

Do you really wonder why ignorance is looked down upon? Do you ever wonder why more and more people are leaving fundamental religion? You are not helping your case nor helping the image of christian fundamentalists. Keep up the good work!

I have never been to the Royal Tyrrell yet when it's parking lot is so empty as the images from the Ark. If that is opening day during a weekday during the summer with decent weather the outlook is not encouraging for them from a business point of view. The Ranch museum in Cochrane was another example of someone thinking that if you build it people will come and it failed. I am using that museum as an example because it had zero to do with religion. The two mentioned posters will defend everything they perceive as being done by a Christian no matter what the project or deed is and accuse us of being against everything that a Christian does, part of their victim claim.

Perhaps the Ark just greatly over built the parking lot and ticket area. If I was them i would already be worried about cash flow and maintenance of unused space.
The "Creation Science" museum in my town rarely if ever has any actual visitors, even during the tourist season when 400 people a day come in by train. It is situated right beside our new antique tool museum*, which on the other hand, has become our Historical Society's largest source of donations, more than the other three museums we run combined.

*we know it is the largest in Canada, and think it is the largest collection of antique tools anywhere in North America

Yes, you do have to read it, as you are interpreting that passage as no one else does. You are wrong, but as your guide book says, you should not also be thick necked.

You are wrong.
