It's not. But who asks that unless you're having a theological discussion? As a role model for these children, whatever you say to them is going to have a profound impact on them and pretty much everything you think revolves around the Bible. My concern is justified.

Yeah good on ya. People know I'm a Christian they ask, and those kids are more genuine than you are

Lets just all agree that God is good & have done with it.:D
if you are talking the narcissistic, omnipresent, judgemental provider of a residence for "souls" after our death god as depicted by institutionalized religion, that is a load of BS IMO.

a detached higher form of evolved life with no need to be worshiped? is god is good.:cool:

Quarreling over non-essentials gets us nowhere brothers.....We must find common-ground &7 come together under God's light & guiding hand.
Tell me more about gods "guiding hand" when you call yourself a pantheistic pagan, you fraud. Do you even know what you are? oh yes you are a christian, just come out and admit it

In what way aren't I genuine?
You dont look at the contexts under which god raped, murdered and killed children, you dont look at the context where he slayed the homosexuals, u dont look at the context where he allowed incest to happen and you dont look at the context where he wanted human sacrifices to happen, silly you! look at the context first/ If you find the context out an you can reason with the horrible crimes you are genuine! heavens ticket booked.

You are not answering my question, something from nothing is already a magic, or its not? lets assume there was a big bang and universe never existed before big bang. so all these things from nothing is already magic. Creating everything on earth, oceans, mountains, giving laws to things, thats magic.So not go full on and do it all magically anyway?
Do you really have to be literalistic in everything. He said creator anyway. Creator from nothing. He is deliberating using the term magician to contrast with the term creator to give more weight and depth to his point about the creator and our growth. Magician has connotations of a sideshow act here today gone tomorrow.

No offence but I can see why you would struggle with anything written let alone stuff 1000s of years old.

And to keep saying things like why not ...regarding God is like your if I was God or if there was a God. Perharps understand Christianity and you might find out why.

So you decide what is literal and what is not? prior to acceptance of darwins theory, it was god who made everything in magic. No point going around in circles, its good to have faith just not blind faith. I do understand Christianity, we have gone through this before, i just dont accept the cherry picking stuff you guys do. No need to preach here mate. You are obviously indoctrinated, so you cant look at it from an unbiased point of view, i am telling you the picture you guys paint of a loving kind god is just not present. The OT proves that jesus is bipolar, there is no similarity between him and his previous appearance in the OT.

I feel the presence of so many, here in this thread, is but an unconscious desire & a driving need, for God in their lives.

Embrace the truth brothers & let go of your doubt & fears.
As a pantheist, you should realise that pantheism and christianity is at odds with each other. Its not a question of god, its a question of type of god, the god of christianity is bloody ridiculous! but you are a christian anyway, so what would you know

No you just think people thought stuff before Darwin. Fundamentalism is relatively new. You don't need Darwin to tell people that a snake can't talk.

God has still made everything. He is the creator.Evolution isn't about creation it is about change. Evolution deals with the stuff created by God

Nothing has changed regarding Genesis .. it is still a story of creation to evoke faith .. there are no little scientific hints for us.

Evolution doesn't superseed the creation story because for one ..evolution hasn't got anything to do with creation.

Noted you usual OT v NT Jesus bipolar comment that shows you've probably read something but haven't understood anything.

Evolution suggests god didnt and we are undesigned. If you are claiming he did design us, where is your evidence? we did this before but there are plenty of bad designs in nature, cannot be done by god.

Even if its ridiculous? why not buy the islamic creation story then? whats stopping you?

It has got everything to do with creation, why would god create a single cell bacteria and wait for 4 billion years? 4 billion years is a lot, why not make it smaller? and why destroy 99 percent of the species ever created? if you are going to play by this you have to answer these questions. Why create 1000 species and kill 999 of them? reason?

Again, moral highground. You are unable to explain the brutal behaviour of god towards women, homosexuals, children, slavery etc etc. But i havent understood anything? i keep asking this but i cant get an answer to this, under what context would you force an abortion on women? and under what context will you approve rape/murder/infanticide? would you do it to the family members of ISIS for example? answer my question without deflection. Its high time you guys stop playing the CONTEXT card. There can be no excuses for genocidal racist discriminatory behaviour. Stop standing for such things.Do you believe homosexuality is a sin? jesus said it, direct quote. And then you go and preach morality to others???? wow just wow
