This is a carryover from a dialogue that has been ongoing between me and an Atheist on another forum for about five years... Yes, five years and we are still going around in the same circles. I posted something about this about six months ago but I am back with a slightly different slant.

Synopsis: The issue at hand is that this Atheist thinks that God should communicate directly to everyone in the world (all 7.4 billion people) because that is “what he considers” the only credible method...

So, we have two topics that have been debated to death: abortion and same-sex marriage. As these are beaten horses at this point, I've decided to start a thread on a debate that crops up somewhat, but not particularly often.

Welcome to the polygyny debate. Polygyny is defined as a man having more than one wife.

Do you agree that polygyny should be legal? Why? Why not?

Calm yourself, I'm not.

I have heard from many people that one can't convert to Judaism. This is demonstrably false. I would like to know where this notion comes from, if it has any historical backing, and why people still believe it.

In a world where tensions run high and there is an ever changing climate , don't we think it is now time to set out differences to one side , uniting to live has one family ?
It seems rather silly that we argue our views and beliefs when if we all really wanted too , we could all join hands and all have a happy life . What's the point of continuing this seemingly never ending 'fight' of life ? There is no point,...

My goal in this post is to seek a greater understanding of an imprortant issue. Jesus was a Hebrew Jewish Rabbi, so the problem of antisemitism within some Christian communities makes me mad, and I consider all Jewish people to be my neighbors, and I am to do what for my neighbors? LOVE them UNCONDITIONALLY. The would be no Bible without Jewish people, and it makes me feel very sad to know there is strife. Question for anyone reading this: How can Christians better learn to relate to Jewish...

I would like to open a public debate
inviting any/all to participate
to any degree to which one might agree
in favor with, or to disagree
in the natural existence of a Trinity.

Position: Muhammad's denial of (there existing) an immutable 'Trinity' present in/of (all) creation is indicative of the catastrophically fatal nature of (the total institution of) Islam which necessarily renders it contrary to basic fundamental precepts of the Abrahamic...

The Gospel of John is the fourth of the four Gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The authorship has been traditionally attributed to the apostle John or the apostle Jesus loved (John 13:23, John 19:26, John 2:2. John 21:7). The author is anonymosu but its been argued that as the Apostle John was prominent in the the early church, but not mentioned in this gospel then it follows he would have written it. The author knew Jewish life well, was intimately acquainted with the geography of...

Assuming you joined RF to learn something rather than to proselytize your beliefs, what have you taken away from RF since you joined? What, if anything (aside from @Sunstone's insufferable dissertations about logical fallacies, from @SalixIncendium's awesome fashion sense, and @Rival's apparent apathy toward either) have you learned in your time here?

Do you feel you've grown as a person since you've been here in listening to the worldviews of others? How so?

Why are some people afraid of death?

God is Life.
Life is God.

The Son of God is the Light.

The Spirit of Holiness
The Spirit of Faith
The Spirit of Wisdom
The Spirit of Glory
The Spirit of Grace
The Spirit of Prophecy

To which is
TRUTH.
