Sorry, you did NOT answer it.
You provided a non-sensical, unscientific reply.
This "positive energy/negative energy" drivel would get you an "F" in an actual physics class, after they stopped laughing at you.
YOU: "Matter an energy in the universe are balanced out by 'negative energy'!"...
Your non-answer answer clearly proves the following:
1. You don't understand physics, and...
2. You have no real answer, because an actual answer undoes your position, so you're obfuscating...
Seriously...Your reply is, to put it mildly, scientifically nonsensical.
The Catholic church points out that in the early church there was no New Testament. Christians depended on the authority of the bishops to determine doctrine.
The first point is one that Catholics purposefully use to muddy the waters. True, the codified volumes of the "New Testament" did not...
So there's NO matter and energy in the universe?
"Full" obviously does not mean "completely full,' as there is certainly a LOT of empty space.
No kidding.
Regardless, in layman's terms, the universe IS "full" of matter and energy. To deny that fact would be absurd.
To obfuscate that fact is...
You obviously don't know much about the history of Christianity, and it's absolute grounding in historical fact.
You've heard about the 12 Apostles, correct?
11/12 of the Apostles died for their beliefs. Would they have died for a lie? Or for something they weren't sure about?
...Doubtful...
Proof of God's existence is blatantly obvious in the existence of the universe. There's no doubt we have a Creator, according to science.
I suppose you're not familiar with the Law of Conservation of Matter and Energy?
It states:
1. Matter and energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only...
In all sincerity, being "born again" is not a reference to reincarnation. The scriptures make clear that it is a spiritual renewal, NOT a physical rebirth.
The scriptures you refer to MAY all be referring to the one true God...But again, that doesn't mean they will lead to Him.
First of all, bugs and animals cannot be "evil," because they act only on pure instinct. They don't have sinister, ulterior motives.
Second, flies don't "prefer" anything. Their "thinking" is not that advanced.
Third...At least you're honest. If there's no God, there is NO right, and no...
What makes a belief factual is a sincere grounding in historical and scientific fact. In other words, it has to pass the "smell test."
Christianity does. With flying colors.
There is most certainly logic in teaching that there's only one (1) way to God. The opposite approach - many ways - is...
And that's JUST "Lutherans"!
There are approximately 35,000 different Christian denominations in the USA, alone. And many of them believe highly disparate things. Some of them claim exclusivity, others don't. Some don't even believe in the Divine (which is an entire other discussion).
Anywhere.
There are over 40 different Lutheran denominations currently in North America, alone. Here's a few:
American Association of Lutheran Churches (AALC)
Apostolic Lutheran Church of America (ALCA)
Association of Confessional Lutheran Churches(ACLC)
Association of Free Lutheran...
I think the optimal word that one needs to explore in regards to ANY faith is the following:
a·pol·o·get·ics
/əˌpäləˈjediks/
noun
reasoned arguments or writings in justification of something, typically a theory or religious doctrine.
Krishna said something that seems wise? OK...So what...
One can choose to believe in the Easter Bunny or that magical Faeries inhabit their backyard gardens...But that doesn't make that belief logical or factual.
A "faith" that "embraces all other faiths" is NOT a Faith; it's merely something one believes. It doesn't really mean anything. It has no...
