If God is a singularity than why not the universe? If everything had to be created than so does your god.

Pls explain that for me, someone.

I can easily with a single word. Pentecost.

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

With the power of the Holy Spirit, people were instantly able to speak a language they have never spoken before. So if God can instantly make people speak a language they've never spoke before, he can also give the same power to people to translate his texts and if the Bible is indeed the word of God, he would have power to make it the way he wants. Indeed it was written by man but men empowered by God.

Because the Universe sprang into being billions of years ago. It didn't exist at one point therefor it had to be created. The design inherent in the Universe can only mean a conscious being designed and created it. The singularity has to be eternal and therefor exempt from creation, having always existed. If God requires a creator than you create a logical infinite paradox where that God before it would need a creator as well ad infinite. Ultimately you have to come to a single thing which itself was not created otherwise nothing could ever exist.

There is absolutely no evidence that such a thing ever happened.
Once again the button of proof rests on you. Once again you will retort with intangible evidence.

Is that what it means to be Pentacostal? Believing in all that speaking in tongues stuff? That's how the bible was translated and transcribed? Oh man...

No disrespect intended but I've known some Pentacostals in my life and they are some of the most judgmental motherfuckers I've ever met. And it's just weird how they fall into a trance and start the speaking in tongues stuff, but of course the regular person can't understand them.

When I lived in South Florida for one year in high school, I had a best friend who I loved a lot. We were close. I moved back to Washington State after sophomore year but we kept in touch for years after. One day I tell him over the phone I am interested in some of the old pagan beliefs and have been researching some things related to that. I like to read about a variety of subjects but this one definitely threatened him, apparently.

He promptly made some comment about how he couldn't be friends with someone interested in witchcraft and he never spoke to me again. WE WERE BEST FRIENDS FOR 7 YEARS, WTF!!

It probably wasn't the best idea to create plants on the 3rd day and wait until the 4th day to make the sun. But he created light on the first day, so problem solved?

It's two separate creations. The first men he created were what we know now as neanderthals and other primitive humans. Adam and Eve were the first humans with the bodies we now have. No inconsistencies, only misinterpretations.

Well there's probably a pretty big difference between someone who actually experiences Pentecost and someone pretending to. Generally if you're imbued with the Holy Spirit then odds are you're not going to be a judgmental mother fucker as you so put it.

Speaking of Adam and Eve.. I just did a google search because I wanted to know more about Cain & Abel because I was wondering who the hell they could have possibly married....
Google says they married their sisters.... wtf...
