    What Christains should fear!

    The answer to your dilemma is also given by Jesus in Matt. 19, 26. " For human beings this is impossible, but for God all things are possible"

    John's Word: Did Jesus create the world?

    I was responding to the allegation in post 31 that a female was involved in the creation of mankind. That is applying the laws of physics and nature to the metaphysical and supernatural. What I am saying is that I am hardly convinced of such constricts to God. I believe that what we have been...

    John's Word: Did Jesus create the world?

    Sorry but the last time I looked the NT was in the Bible. How many times would it have to be said in the Bible for you to believe it? You don't have to answer that because I think I already know the answer. You don't have a big record as being a big believer in the OT either so why even bring...

    John's Word: Did Jesus create the world?

    John 1, 1-5 as elsewhere in the Bible teaches the preexistence of Jesus Christ, the incarnate Logos, who reveals God the Father. It is important to remember that Christian teaching is that it is not Jesus Christ the man who became divine but the Divine who humbled Himself to become man for a...

    John's Word: Did Jesus create the world?

    I do not prescribe to your understanding of engendering God because God is spirit. I believe that the engendering of "man" in the collective sense is one relative to the next scripture Gen 1:28 " God blessed them, saying; be fertile and multiply; ..."

    </p> So now you're the expert on definitions and reputable linguists don't know what their talking about? I am not naive enough to recognize internet anonymity as credentials. The real difference between the two definitions is WHY people choose to employ one over the other. It is often not...

    You sure do talk a lot about God for &quot; never does such a being even enter my mind, &quot;. And according to my dictionary by Collins Gage.. Atheism n. the belief that there is no God.

    Let's Present Some Evidence ...

    You really did miss the point in my post 745. If we are just biological , when my time comes , as you put it I will simply lose conciousness at death and without that there is no knowledge and I will never know I was wrong. No knowledge no disappointment either. Can't lose. Of course if God...

    Let's Present Some Evidence ...

    Talk about arrogant .People like you wrote the book but you are not even clever enough to recognize that yours is the only position that has a 100% guarantee of never being vindicated. All religions teach that someday we do meet God. Which is both the vindication of God and believers. But if God...

    Are you saying we are just biological and subject to nothing upon death? No conciousness etc.?

    Let's Present Some Evidence ...

    You can't honestly claim that because it is not your experience.May I ask what your beliefs are regarding death since it is a crucial aspect in metaphysical beliefs.

    No one is denying that hallucinations can and do occur but the dismissal of all metaphysical, spiritual or mystical experiences in NOT a science apart from the fact that it is remarkably narrow minded.

    Let's Present Some Evidence ...

    Let me explain a little better as to why your position is not neutral and you are exercising belief in something else. I did not invent religion but have had to learn about it from other people and sources.(And I still do.) You did not invent atheism but also have had to learn of it from others...

    Point well taken.

    In your own mind. How many psychiatrists do you know? Are you telling me that all of them are atheist and dismiss all claimed spiritual experiences as delusional? That seems a very strange allegation and I am hardly convinced that you speak for them all.

    So you don't believe but don't know why. How convenient but not convincing.

    Let's Present Some Evidence ...

    I think on this point we are saying the same thing because when I don't believe in something I always know why I don't believe and it is always because I believe something else. Neutrality by definition is not taking part in an argument.

    John's Word: Did Jesus create the world?

    In Genesis there is also the scripture Gn 1;26.." Then God said:' Let us make man in our image..' which I believe to be a reflection of the eternal Holy Trinity.

    I suggest that if you had " spiritual experiences" in your toolbox you would not dummy them down as they are not just " feelings." They are not emotions either. There is a lot of information written on this subject but I don't believe that this is something shared by all or that all can make...

    Well I do believe the word "bang" in this context is merely an expression of something that is poorly understood but in essence yes, as it is said that God is spirit.
