I'm rather confused as to what is the stumbling block in your comprehension. Are you assuming that the 3 parts can't work individually? Or that they have to be in the same place at once? Father is still being the Father in heaven, Spirit still doing his job too. And Jesus, while in the fetal...
I am not a supporter of religion. I've seen too much go wrong in too many ways to hold any trust in it. But I do believe the Bible, every word it says. And it's the relationship between a man/woman and God and then man/woman and mankind that's important.
So having said that. I believe that...
Well, if your willing to accept the Bible as historical record of events, there are many. And not doing so, especially when discussing God, seems very much like one scientist discovering a new atom, and then the world telling him he has to prove it with out using any of his previous works.
Oh...
Why is it that the question can be asked "Is belief in God a delusion?" and it seems a perfectly reasonable question? That's basicly asking "Is God real?" is it not? If I were to ask "Is belief in the battle of Thermopylae a delusion?" I would be bombarded by historical refrences and fact to...
We could go on for hours while we logicaly debat whether the events described in the New Testiment actually happened, or if they're fantasy. So I'll ask this. What evidence would it take to convince you?
I spent the past week reading over that site and the scriptures refrenced, the vast...
Well, from a biblical view... (I'll be brief...)
There are a couple views as to rapture (as it is non specific as to when)
Basicly 7 year period called "tribulation" first half good, second half bad. Global earthquakes and other goodies. At some point in there the true believers go 'poof' and...
Absolutely. Read through the gospels some time. Most of the miracles Jesus performed were done outside, in day light, with a crowd of people surrounding. Now go talk to Penn & Teller and ask them how important it is to control view angles and lighting. Most large illusions take semi-trucks of...
For the sake of smaller posts I'm trimming my response. (I'd be happy to continue them elsewhere or another time, but posts are getting a little unruley. :))
In Exodus 17 the Isrealites are attacked by Amalek. Isrealites won with Moses holding up his rod....Exd 17:16 and he said, "The LORD...
LIke you said if Pharoah would originally refuse, then God's strengthening of Pharoah's heart does nothing. Yep. My point exactly, except that God didn't remove free will..
Exd 3:18 "They will pay heed to what you say; and you with the elders of Israel will come to the king of Egypt and you...
If your going to state psychotic rages, please for the sake of good, constructive conversation be specific. Pick a specific psychotic rage and we'll expand from there.
Like I said... thats Hebrew translated to english in KJV which is both a good and bad attempt. The hebrew word translated...
First off God didn't "Force" the Pharoah to do anything. Try grabing a Strongs concordence and breaking the bible back to Greek and Hebrew. To put it nicely translating the Bible to english is going to be inaccurate just from the lack of vocabulary. For example, we translate 6+ Greek words to...
My point wasn't that because I am not evil, all religion is not evil. My point was that the worst acts commited by the "church" is in no way in keeping with "loving your neighboor" Everything from the crusades to the catholic church alter boy horrors, it is opposing what the Bible teaches and is...
I've read often, especially after the Pope's recent comments about atheism, that through out history the most horrible things have been done in the name of God. As a christain and thinking on this I've concluded that they are absolutely right.
But I have 2 points I'd like to bring to the...
Well for me, as a christian, to prove the existance of God would start with the Bible. To prove that the Bible is an accurate account of actual events would be a first step would it not. Much more acheivable than proving God out right. Does this sit as logical to you?
NIce, home from work and a bunch of relpies... where to start....
sure let's include it all... there have been changes to some of the acceptable foods (let's here it for bacon!) but not so in my original point. And as for hatred, I have none. I have no problem with the people, but I do have...
So to scientificly prove God's existance... that's quite the undertaking.... let me ask you this first, and think honestly about my question before you respond.
If I was to prove logically and scientificly that God exists, would you...
a) honestly beleive that God undoubtedly exists.
or
b)...
The fact that divorce is so common among christains says nothing about the Bible. It's simple states that christains aren't too terribly concerned with what is stated in the Bible. It actually does say that homosexuallity is a sin, (Leviticus 20:13 is fairly straight forward..) and it does say...
