[QUOTE]Originally posted by J: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ryan McReynolds: [qb]Satan being the infamous tempting serpent from Genesis being an obvious one, ignoring most of the Old Testament except for the Ten Commandments being another[/qb][/QUOTE] Having just deleted a very big post on this... I'll try to keep this one short. I disagree with what you say here. While I know it wasn't mentioned in Genesis, I am fairly certain that it was mentioned elsewhere that Satan and the serpent are one in the same. The second part, you're right... some do, and it's wrong to do so because the NT is pretty much worthless without the OT, they are not seperate, they are the same book one begins the other completes. It really doesn't apply to Star Trek either. Star Trek canon is certainly not consistant [I think we've brought up the issue of Biblical consistancy... no need to again, I and many others accept it as consistant]. The uses of the word canon are different. One is an authoritive source, the other is a pool of information [the authoritive source is TPTB]. It's as simple as this, what the producers say is canon in Star Trek is canon [the live-action shows and movies are canon in Star Trek (at this time)]. The Bible is canon. As a matter of faith all things that one believes must be filtered by this canon source before one can accept it. Consider TAS or the TMs like Protestants do the Apocrypha. Here is the problem. Concerning the Bible, it hasn't been changed --- it doesn't change. It's source is itself [ever wonder why it's "The Word was God"?]. Concerning Star Trek the canon source changes on whims. The TMs used to be canon... the old TMs [Starfleet TM and the like] used to be canon. Because ST Canon is so static, we get these arguements on what is canon and what isn't. We also get some arguements because it has horrible internal consistancy. You never get this kind of arguement in Protestant debates--- it's all about interruptation there! "Darmok his eyes wide open" Thanks Ryan... I'm ready to quit now... let's all do so. I mean, this really isn't Salvation. [/QB][/QUOTE]
