I do not believe in God, so quoting the Bible will not sway by belief (or lake thereof). Dirty Penguin said it the best in his response. It leaves alot to be desired. Furthermore, as Dirty touched on, Science has pretty much explained that passage you quoted so again, you will fail in trying to...
First off, thats irrelevent because I do believe in Gravity. Second, I don't think there is any real basis for a "belief" in Gravity seeing as how Gravity is the word developed to describe and effect. For me, Gravity can be seen and felt. God, for me however, cannot be seen or felt. Feel free to...
I do not believe in God, therfore I believe in absolute Free Will. I believe our choices are ours and ours alone. The whole idea of a God and limited Free Will to pick options that it has already laid out just seems like a sick game and would make me ask if they have something else better to do.
If you consider the title Christ and Messiah interchangeable, then I'd say Mark 14:61-62 might have an answer. I'd think that by answering the question, he confirms it
Mark 14:61-62 (New International Version)
61But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.
Again the high priest asked him...
For me, I would need God to come down here and take me on a time warp and show me the beginning and the end off all things and explain him or herself in full on every issue I have with him/her. Then I would need some displays of power. You know, God would have to pull a Bruce Almighty on me to...
I think the primary aspect that would contradict free will is predestination. LOL, I still maintain that if predestination exsists, then time travel must as well. :-)
there is no perfect order in the universe... Just because you wot see anything ultra-chaotic happen in the universe in your life, doesnt mean that the universe is in order. Think of the vastness of the universe. Again, just because nothin big happens in out solar systems doenst mean that things...
The other problem is that people want God to be all good, but in doing do are disregarding alot of what thier own bible says. The want so desparatly to believe that God is only good yet they dont understand that if God is the creator and lord of everything, and we as a human race know of evil...
Brilliant!!! This is an interesting subject. I think the only real way to debate this topic is on the metaphorical field and by individual interpretations. You ask "if God is all good and only good, then where does evil have its origin?" The answer is simple. God is the origin of evil. Now...
I love Buddhist so much. They are so rational and respectful. You would never hear of a Buddhist trying to convert someone and especially leaving symbols with notes. And if you do, its not a true Buddhist. Lets not forget that Buddhism is far older than Christianity.
Thats my point, it doesnt matter what you call them as long as they get the same rigths as married couples. You could call it the Happy Fun Time Union for all that it matters. Its just a label, the emotion involved is much more important. Religious group dont petition because they dont care, all...
Thats my point, it doesnt matter what you call them as long as you get the same rights as married couples. You could call it the Happy Fun Time Union for all that it matters. Its just a label, the emotion involved is much more important. Religious groups dont petition because they dont care, all...
The best course to take would be to change the name of non-Religious marriages. Lets be honest. The comcept of marriage IS a religious establishment. Whether or not the Federal Government or people in general view it otherwise is irrelevent to this one point, that MARRIAGE in its basic form is...
Blamo... Very nice summation. Too bad most people dont look at it this way. Some people push for the point that even though America is supposed to be a Secular nation, just because a majority are Christian then America should be a Christian nation. America is supposed to be a Secular nation. And...
The thing is that "under God" wasnt originally in the pledge. It was added in the 50s to combat Communism. The Government added it to show that America wasnt like the "Godless" Commies.
To me the issue isnt a big issue. If it came down to a vote, i would vote to remove it because its intention...
