    Free Will Revisted (Compatible with God?)

    Surely. Whatever "force" causing you to post is just another variable in the algorithm used to make your "choice".

    But I wasn't saying any of those things. =) It doesn't seem likely that we will ever find the answer for sure, so the "most likely" scenario is fairly important. I don't see how anyone could argue that it's more likely that the universe is that first eternal something that's ever been...

    New Member - Logical or Illogical question

    Yes, that was probably a bad analogy. The point is that your default position doesn't make sense. The same way that I come to believe everything. I'm depending on the testimony of countless others and the experiments of scientists. No, if you want to say that the universe is eternal, the...

    New Member - Logical or Illogical question

    So you are only open to the possibility that it could be eternal, but what do you think is more likely? That's the whole point of having default positions. If I told you that gravity was just a figment of your imagination, you would say I was dumb. And rightly so, as your default position is...

    New Member - Logical or Illogical question

    Hmmm, nothing that we've experienced firsthand has ever been eternal, so I find it somewhat troubling that you would believe that the universe was eternal as a default position. I was hoping you might actually have evidence, since, if the universe was eternal, there would be evidence.

    Where is the evidence that the universe is eternal?

    Judging is both useful and necessary. The Bible even tells us the earmarks of our brothers and sisters in Christ, explaining exactly how we can recognize them. In fact, isn't Mr. Smith judging his ex throughout the entire song? Will Smith seems, purely from the lyrics of this song and what I...

    Ever seen Bad Boys, for example? And all of those things you said about him... you would have to actually know him to make those claims. I have no beef with Will Smith. I've actually been a fan of his ever since he was on Fresh Prince. I own several of his films. He's a great actor and a...

    Oh, sorry. My post was in response to Raka, not you. Will Smith is an actor who has also rapped on the side during his career.

    Do you know Will Smith??? I find it somewhat funny when he says that he doesn't put curses in his lyrics when he doesn't seem to have a problem with taking on roles in movies that force him to spout obscenities. It seems to me that Will Smith's idea of christianity is just that disease...

    Apparently Will Smith believes that he's earned his salvation.

    I think you're underestimating the nuclear bomb.

    How Can God's Love Be Unconditional?

    No, all of those are measures of why someone is NOT deserving. There's nothing we can do that would make us deserving of heaven.

    How Can God's Love Be Unconditional?

    Indeed, I just said in the post you just quoted that this was not an example of God showing his benevolence. Well, first of all degrees of sin are a reality in the bible, so any speculation you are making here is your own. But, even if you're right, what makes one person more or less...

    How Can God's Love Be Unconditional?

    That's because the things that people want to talk about don't generally involve the central thesis of the Christian faith.

    How Can God's Love Be Unconditional?

    Men wrote the bible, not God. It's important to note that every word need not be taken as gospel truth.

    How Can God's Love Be Unconditional?

    Do you think that says more about God or the authors of the bible?

    How Can God's Love Be Unconditional?

    I make it a point to not concern myself with hell since the Bible itself is not at all clear what it is. Neither do I believe that its authors meant every word they wrote to be considered absolute truth. I don't think it's a problem worth worrying about and this is why: I consider that...

    How Can God's Love Be Unconditional?

    Before I can answer that, I'd like to see what verse you're using (if there even is one) to form your interpretation of God.

    How Can God's Love Be Unconditional?

    Is sinning against an infinite God enough to warrant infinite punishment? Is there actually an infinite punishment? Is hell really just the absence of God's presence? All good questions that need to be answered before we can even begin to judge God, if such a thing were even logical...
