It looks to me like from the time of Darwin, sometimes people have tried to use evolution theories to discredit Christianity or some Christian beliefs. More recently some people who felt targeted by that started thinking that it was happening in public schools, and they have responded by trying to have evolution theory removed from the curriculum and/or have creation theory added, and by trying to discredit evolution theory. The debates here may or may not have some roots in that.

As I...

Christians:

Is Sola Scriptura biblical?

Or is it a tradition?

There exists a thread in the Games section where people post random thoughts about anything.

The Random, Meaningless Announcements Thread 2!

I would like to try a religion-centered version and see how it goes. We can talk about where our faith is leading us, etc., or it can be even a simple post like "I bought a Bible today." Atheists/agnostics can also post in this to learn or discuss, but please don't come with a serious bone to pick about religion

Now a couple of things to keep in...

The " Original Only Position "
with the right line of manuscripts
produces an equation
with 99.1% probability.

The " KJV Only Position " produces
an equation with 99.99% probability
in statistical reasoning.

The Purifed Text Theory is the truest
Sola Scriptura Theology.
It produces a scientific statement
with 100% probability.

The Record Theory answers
the questions of final canonization
and final authority.

I understand that Kitab-i-Iqan/"Book of Certitude" was not a Direct Converse from/by G-d with Bahaullah. Was it, please?
Bahaullah did not claim in Kitab-i-Iqan that it was a Direct Converse from/by G-d with Bahaullah.
Thread open to everybody whether a Bahai* in the Forum or a Non-Bahai. Right, please?

This is only for Christians. All the other religions that I’m aware of have their god and they all see god properly, as far as I can tell (from my extremely limited experience). It’s the Christian religion construct of a trinity of persons that is contrary to common sense. So, I propose the following, for those who call themselves Christian, to ponder:
“The absolute God is Jesus Christ, who is the Lord Jehovah, Creator from eternity, Redeemer in time, and Regenerator to eternity. He is...

"One factor driving the decline: Americans are becoming less likely to attend religious services or identify with a specific religion.

“Attending services is correlated with giving to religious organizations, but it’s also correlated with giving to secular groups,” Osili said.

Giving to charity is, of course, a core belief for many of the world’s major religions. And very religious people of any faith are more likely to give to charity, one study by Baylor University researchers found....

seems to be qualifications are required
eternity is not bestowed unto all

got any notion to what is needed?

What is your opinion of 'religious fictionalism', the stance which holds that religious doctrines / beliefs are fictional discourse but it is still worth living a religious life, practising religion, going to church / mosque / temple, participating in all the rituals, living by the ethics and using the 'language / symbols' of faith?

Religious fictionalism can come in "strong" and "weak" forms (its a scale of degrees): on the 'strong' end, an RF might believe God doesn't exist and neither...
