    Is it God or Is it me?

    Here is a very common question that I believe is used in various scenarios both introspectively and from the outside. Faith is subjective therefore mostly rejected by the scientific community. Someone outside that particular faith will ask the question in different ways. How do you know your...

    What do Atheists Want?

    I have been thinking lately about the collective responses that I receive from those who reject the God narratives. I will be the first to concede any debate against my Atheist friends as their grasp to reality is what keeps them grounded and their attention to humanly influence and scientific...

    Ask Anything about Me or my Religion (Restored Gospel/Mormonism).

    I have noticed there are recent posts about Mormonism written by non-members. Most information shared has misrepresented our actual beliefs If you really want to know source beliefs from an active Elder of the Church who served a two-year mission in Russia and lives in Utah. I'm all ears. I...

    Would Law of Averages Work in Determining the Truth?

    I'm going to break the ice for everyone and say I absolutely know that my beliefs are the most correct. This is based on thousands of years of data and hundreds of hours research on my end to come to this determination and no one can or will convince me otherwise. That being said, How many of...

    Objective Naturalism vs. Subjective Reasoning

    I think the most difficult task for a theist is to differentiate the two above philosophies. We look at an event with the same object in mind, yet perhaps view it with varied complexity. Like if I, a theist, look at a rubber ball, and I was told to study this ball and bring back a report of its...

    Are Humans created Monogamous?

    Hi RF, Of course there might just be something in the air as there are OPs already popping up around this issue, but I am curious to know from everyone's different religious background how they consider the creation of man in being monogamous. As background, I have been doing a lot of study...

    What is Love?

    This is probably as cliché as it comes, but as a being of limited emotional energy, relying more on the energies of my intellect beg an answer to what is Love? When would it be appropriate to say, "I love you" and truly truly mean it. Is it even possible to get there or do we just fake it until...

    God is Omnigender

    I want to propose an idea where God is neither male nor female. Rather he is the perfect combination of both Here are the supporting arguments from the Bible: Genesis 1: 26-27 26. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the...

    'The Chosen' Series

    This is so Powerful - The Chosen If anyone wants a realistic, down to earth, 'fairly' historically accurate portrayal of the man Jesus Christ, I strongly recommend you watching this series. If you have already watched it: What do you think? I was hoping to start a TV chain for this series.

    If There Was No Evidence For Scripture, Would It's Content Still Be True?

    This is somewhat indirectly a response to a post I was reading about evidence in belief. I just want to clarify, most religions have some sort of scripture that supports it's foundation. Many people consider their Scripture the standard of Truth. I am just curious to know how many people would...

    The Enigma of Green

    This is accompanied with a frightening dilemma, I hope someone can relate or answer! I found a poem probably song lyrics entitled Green in my document folder on my laptop, But the crazy thing is I have absolutely no recollection of writing it. It has sort of my style of writing, but it just...

    A Rock on the Shore

    Sands, sands from a thousand lands infused by nature's circumstance pressed by Mother's mighty hands and formed with Neptune's golden lance With stripes of browns, whites and blacks, silvers, blues, purples, and greens With bumps, dents, nubs, and cracks pushed through life's eternal stream...

    Libert

    Not quite liberty Yet enough to be a name If one's parents were rude Which in this case they were And Libert remained Spending much time in his room Libert was mocked From the kids at school. But still he tried very hard To find the "why" in life. Because then And only then Would Libert be free.

    Is there a (need for a) God?

    I'm going to use this forum as the start of the debate. This forum has potentially endless sides and points of views to where its more like a circle of loud noise and repeated whirlpool of questioning and answering. Is anyone actually getting closer to their god(s) through this? I wonder how...

    Christians: The Trinity Fails to Describe God.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but it all started, I believe at the First Council of Nicaea, where scholars from all over the Roman Empire, invited by Constantine to argue tirelessly over a unified decision of the nature of God. The result came as a creed as follows (copied from wikipedia): Jesus...

    The Atonement of Jesus Christ and Why It Needed to Happen.

    (This post was re-posted as requested to be in an debate forum, although I would hope this to be informative rather than to try to convert or dissuade others. I want to inform anyone that may not understand Christ Atonement to gain some understanding. Questions in this post are used as teaching...

    Who is Jesus to Non-Christians?

    Running off a series of dialogues with those in different faiths, I want to ask a very fundamental question. Who is Jesus to those who don't believe in Him as the Son of God or Messiah as written in parts of the Bible? How does Jesus influence you whether or not he is a main figure in your...

    Death Penalty?

    There are instances in the Scriptures (Bible, Quran, many others) where followers of God are commanded to utilize the 'death penalty' as a form of almost Godly punishment. I understand that in the end, the world is to be cleansed of all unrighteousness in order to bring to pass a utopia of peace...
