With regards to the "mess up' thing.
Humans are very falible.
while we are capable of aspiring to a higher ideal. we are still falible.
maybe with a bit more evolving............ |

Hi Bc - I don't recall you offending me and no worries anyway. My apologies also if I have offended you at any time.
The problem I have with humans evolving emotionally is we seem to be going backwards rather than forwards?
I do feel though that evolution is a part of life. I see no reason why God could not have created a world that evolves? |

| With regards to evolution, as the planet changes due to such things as climate changes, so do plant and animal life as it adapts to these environmental changes. That would be the sort of evolution changes that I believe work in with creation. |

You make a good point in that yes I suppose that it is possible that your god created aplanet that could evolve.
Though it seems that nothing in the bible allows for this train of thought.
I still hold to the thought I had as a quizzical kid.
That being, that a higher intelligence ( of unknown origion ) visited upon this planet and set certain things in motion.
Now that opens me up to attack. I can see main stream christians and other theologists pointing fingers at me. |

Also I agree with you that emotionally we seem to be going backwards.
Western civilisation in particular.
Perhaps we are too busy to take the time. perhaps we are blinkered by all the baubles our civilisation thinks we ought to obtain and we become increasingly disconnected from one another as beings.
I'm rambling again......... |

| Bc - I am a huge animal lover. A bit obsessed with it truth be known, and to be honest I look at the animals and see them as the higher intelligence due to their ability to live as they were designed to live without all the greed and poverty and nonsense that we humans inflict each other with. Are we really all that intelligent? I wonder. |

I would never give any personal details away!
Like Batman, as I have said before, I am in need of maintaining my identity!
Tok, God has not spoken to you. He does not know you at all to the point you have said you know he "LOVE'S ME."
Stop this sh1t Tok and grow up. |

This Tokoroajaq, is an excellent question and one that I would gladly become involved in because WE have not answered it!
Thankyou Tok for a great question :) |

Re evolution and the bible. I see no where that it doesn't allow evolutionary changes over time. Go along with me, if you will for a moment, that God is the creator. Does that not make him the very best scientist of all? Why would someone thats able to create not then allow that creation to change according to the changing environment?
I think sometimes we try to fit God into the Bible. He is so much bigger than the Bible. The Bible is for the humans to give us some sort of guidance, but its not designed to limit who God is.
We don't have all the answers. If we did we would be God.
Thats my thoughts anyway.
Goodnight, sleep well everyone. |

Easy I quote what you wrote to me as follows:
"Tok, God has not spoken to you. He does not know you at all to the point you have said you know he "LOVE'S ME."
Stop this sh1t Tok and grow up."
Once again easypeasy I forgive you for your swearing at me. God bless you, good night. |

What about my last question? "Tok wrote: "Bc - I am a huge animal lover.

Hi easypeasy, I am not sure exactly what sort of an answer you are looking for with regards to animals vs human.
My opinion is that we humans have become somewhat of a disapointment to ourselves and to God and I feel the animals that we are supposed to have dominion over are doing so much better than us. It makes me question our intelligence or certainly the negative way that we have put our intelligence to use.
As I said, its an opinion of mine. Thats all. |

To (mis) quote Douglas Adams in "Hitch hickers guide to the galaxy"
man thought he was superior to dolphins because he had invented many things, built huge cities, transport, planes,technology and nuclear weaponary.
While dolphins just frollick in the sea all day eating fish and having a great time.
Dolphins thought that they were superior to man..........for the same reson.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts
Nor are your ways My WAYS
For as the Heavens are higher than the earth
So are my ways higher than yours
And my thoughts than your thoughts
Isaiah chapter 55-verses 8 & 9
Remember God is God and we think of him in human terms.
With God all things are possible |

: tokoroajaq: Respectfully Kei te pai marire koe! (Peace be
with you !) I know I may have been angry in the past. I read your comments concerning animals, God's creations as are we. I love all animals from the largest to the smallest
and particularly my cat, and the Hereford Cattle I have looked after. I recommend the writings and life history
of St Francis of Assissi. Please do not be hostile in my
contact with you. Kia manuia ! (Best wishes!)

I love animals too we have our own farm
But there is a big difference between animals and humans.
Humans are body soul and spirit
Animals are body only so therefore there is a huge diffence..
I would love to think there will be animals in Heaven though |
