WILLOWevcTREE,

You appear to have not noticed that your claims about the Pyramid were moved to this thread in order to prevent this discussion from being sidetracked.

In the linked thread, I have provided a fairly thorough refutation of your 'irrefutable' proof that the Pyramid of Khufu was built by Yahweh.

I thought I'd bring this to your attention because it would not be fair to do this without you noticing and therefore not give you the chance to reply.

PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS IN THIS THREAD. INSTEAD, PLEASE REPLY IN THE LINKED THREAD SO THAT THE TWO DISCUSSIONS CAN BE KEPT SEPERATE.

Why do you want to identify with Amalek?
Reason #1

Reason #2

I ran across a website about Jewish demonology that identified the demon associated with atheism as "Amalek".

Quote:
If I told you what Amalek represents and means I would undoubtedly be instantly banned.
I have since become aware that some use the name as a symbol of anti-semitism but the above are the only applications I accept for my own screen name.

Your apparent feelings of persecution are wholly unsubstantiated.

You may now feel free to return to the topic of this thread. Perhaps you might start by addressing some of the points raised by CX and/or NOGO.

Classic! Is there a demon associated with existential phenomenology?

Absolutely !
That is his chief objective.
Indigenous to Biblical doctrine is the realty of Satan. He is just as prominent as Jesus or Moses.
Well, if you were indeed right here, the only thing you could do is to throw the bible to the garbage. You could never know which part is god's word, and which part is corrupted by satan.
You once again demolished your only leg you stand on. Congrats!

P.S.: What was your answer again to the prophecy(ies) about Tyre? [an answer to my answer to your answer]

LOL

Not that I recall but I also can't find the website so I can't be sure.

I am not recognizing the reality of anything. I'm talking about the god as described by the bible, as I would talk about mickey mouse. If the god of the bible made satan knowing he would corrupt the bible, then god is responsible. I'm talking about a ficticious (sp?) character, not something I believe in.

Don't try to convolute the argument by putting statements into what I'm saying.

I apologize in advance for this irresistible post. I realize it does little to further the specific discussion at hand. However it is relevant with regard to the authority of Willow Tree’s source:

Dr. Gene Scott received his PhD in Philosophy of Education. His dissertation concerned the land uses of a particular California valley, wherein he included a map colored by his own hand indicating the various uses.

How that qualifies Dr. Scott or any proxy as an (I mean "THE") authority on biblical history is beyond me.

He also does not publish. (I guess it is easier to rant from a pulpit) Does this sound like a legit scholar?
I will anticipate the objection to this: "Dr. Scott is the most plagiarized......... He is excluded from the guild of academia because of his reverence for the truth..... ad nauseum........."

The "authority" of Dr. Scott has been thoroughly undermined in MANY previous threads.

Dr. Scott's Ph.D. is in Philosophies of Education.

His doctoral dissertation was on the theology of Reinhold Niebuhr, which means he had to make an original contribution to knowledge as judged by his peers (atheist professor's) at Stanford.

His Masters Thesis was on the Geology of Indian Valley/Northern California, which adds to his reputation as the only true renaissance man in the world. This knowledge in geology greatly contributes to his irrefutable dismantling of evo myths regarding this much abused area by evolutionists.

Barest of all assertions.

I would be most interested to see just one !

As anyone can see Paine is very confused concerning generic information about Dr. Scott.

This is just another attack on the man because the research of the man has you stymied.

Actually this guy has been refuted alot. Take for instance this thread. I still have yet to here how having a PhD in philosophy of education has any bearing on ones knowledge of the Bible or the Pyramids. In fact, sans your assertions, I can't think of one person who regards Dr. Scott as an authority on anything.

Are you serious about Tyre ?

I am so sick of this particular prophecy having to be proved. I already did so in a previous topic.

As to your opening comment:

There IS A WAY TO KNOW.

Quote:
John 17:3: And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
This is Christ's prayer in John 17.

That word "know" in the original greek is "gnosis".

Gnosis: knowledge which can only be gained by actual experience.

This request of prayer is the will of God/Christ.

It was made in the context of the gospel, which is the good news that God will acccept FAITH in place of works of the law to relate to Him.

IF a person fulfills the requirement of faith - God will reveal Himself incontrovertible to that person and then they WILL KNOW.
