    Every Neanderthal was killed off, and only Modern man in three racial stocks remained on earth.

    If you follow his posts, he is not a spokesperson for god.
    Spokes people for god don't have to tell lies. Now satan's voice. Different story.

    Yes, 2 have liked some of his posts when he referred to cannibalism. And not one christian ever told him he was full of BS.

    Hmmm,...

    Deuteronomy 18 stated that this would all happen as part of the prophecy of a prophet like Moses, a miracle worker, coming who they must listen too, or else:


    Moses said:
    5 The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;

    And God said,...
    18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth (John 14:10, 24); and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
    19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.

    All species must adapt to the ever changing environment or become Extinct.

    That is just a fact of life.
    Only Modern Homo sapiens, apparently, could adjust and survive whatever happened 40,000 years ago.

    Yes, you can interpret the verses in many ways.
    Mitt is using a tired out erroneous old medieval Bible interpretation which was taught to him a zillion years ago. It is just not satisfactory to Modern Science.

    But I choose to use the meanings that are supported by the facts and make sense of the ideas, that the Jews will accept Christ as The Elijah, returned in accord with Malachi 4:6.


    19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

    20 And he confessed, and denied not;
    but confessed, I am not the Christ.

    21 And they asked him, What then?
    Art thou Elijah?
    And he saith, I am not.
    Art thou that prophet?
    And he answered, No.

    According to Jean Piaget, the accepted expert on Child Psychology, children are born Self Centered and demanding of services.
    That is why the maternal instinct exists and is used to wait upon their demands.

    They are supposed to change this as they grow up.
    It is the Original Sin.

    But, our system of things actually teaches them to compete and get their own in a state of looking afte one's own interest.
    So they do not grow up properly.

    Matthew 25:31 explains how the final judgement will depend upon Charity, "feeding the hungry, drink to the thirsty, clothes for the naked, etc."

    Kids are very nice people but evil hearted who must change.

    he's had to turn himself inside out so many times on this, that any minute now we'll probably see the old "god did it with magic" shutter slam down.

    UMmm no they are not. A 2 yr old child does not have the cognative ability to be evil and is therefore innocent. Period. You are confusing instinct with cognative thinking.

    So wan says all the children were eaten and therefore god didn't kill them, Mitt says that's not true but some parents could have eaten them but even though god killed them it was their fault not his and cupid says children are born evil and need to be taught not to be evil even though a two year old cant make his own breakfast they state he is capable of masterminding and pulling off evil .......muhahahaha
    This is almost hilarious as when they said the earth was only 3-4000 yrs old now they are posting charts of evolution (after stating humans didn't evolve) showing cavemen from 400000 years ago. Also now adam and eve are on record as co-existing with cavemen.
    LOL the house of cards has fallen.

    okay, so women are evil, and now kids are too.

    I recommend you gay up immediately, and agree (with your male partner) to never have kids.

    it's just a stinking web of slippery falsehoods and obfuscations.

    and they are, apparently, oblivious to this fact. they don't even recognise that the things most of us protest, are the very things that they, as 'good' Christians, ought to be protesting.

    LOL, Well you hit it out of the park on that one. Sometimes the absurdity of an argument is best illustrated by re-packaging that absurdity and sending it right back. Just goes to show that with enough creative interpretation, you can make words say almost anything (while simultaneously stripping them of any explanatory power of their own without that "interpretation".)

    100% of all humans which were not Modern Homo sapiens like Noah and his three sons.
    Neanderthal men, explicitly.

    I am correct, in that the Emotional Intelligence at work is Self Centeredrness, in accord with Jean Piaget's statement.

    Cognitive thinking is what we are to teach these kids, so they learn to share and give and help out willingly.

    Dave, dear. what you call 'self-centredness' in children is merely survival stuff. it's neither good nor evil, it's just 'stay alive'. And kids grow out of it naturally, when they start to engage theory of mind, and realise they need to adapt to get ahead. Any child who lives with other human beings will naturally learn the graceful art of compromise - again, for reasons of SURVIVAL. You seem to want to attribute human instincts to external agency ... as though you yourself have some sort of discomfort with your own humanity.

    So you're ignoring the part about Assyria, Ethiopia, and Arabia existing before as well as after the "flood"?

    NO YOU ARE WRONG. Cognative thinking comes as the childs brain develops. Here I will illustrate. Tell us how many two yr olds you know of that hatched a plan to commit murder and then pulled it off. How many two yr olds have been tried for crimes in our court systems?

    I think Mitt just did. "a bit of a stretch" is weak, but a clear sign even MR doesn't buy into WanRen's apologia for God drowning babies.

    I DID blow it on the "4:22" thing....I should have used "April 22nd...first Earth Day celebrated" or some other even for "4/22".

    But basically, none of the rest is "inaccurate". They are all words or terms used in other references.....so they hold the EXACT SAME "validity" as any of Cupid Dave's "interpretations" of lines of Scripture.

    Pick a verse at random...and I can easily do the same thing he does, and all I need is a self-proclaimed "ability to discern The Truth" from Scripture and I am JUST AS VALID an itnerpreter of the Bible as he is.
