I didn't say any of that. I said it was workable.
Christians.
Christians. It's not my theory, I've never found enough evidence to confirm it as factual.
No parents I know of use the threat of eternal torture. I didn't use fear as a weapon when raising my daughter and in my opinion it was...
You think #1 is fine? I never heard an atheist agree to that.
So you don't want to think for yourself, and make your own decisions?
That would be news to me. Is that the case?
You are not alone here. Many people have had understanding.
Might I ask, where you got it from?
From what I read...
Just a name,
This is partly in jest.
It could be Satan trying to work his way into your, to get you to start, Doping Out, seeming truths, instead of going to the only place anyone can find truth. When we Dope Out truths we run into , what is called Egocentric Predicament, Epistemological...
illykitty,
You seem to have in you what Christians believe that God put within man, when He created him, the desire to search for his maker. This is called Christian Existentialism.
The only way to get belief in the one and only True God is by reading and studying His words, in The Holy...
djhwoodwerks,
Please allow me to interject a thought.
God, Himself, has promised to protect His word, from all generations, Psalms 12:6,7. God does not make sure that every and every translation is completely inerrant, but He makes sure that you can easily find the truth of His word by...
Quiddity,
The truth in the Bible is not meant to be easy to find, as the Bible says, search for it as for silver, and hidben treasures, and you will find the knowledge of God, Proverbs2:1-9.
Some people re so quick to find fault with the way the Bible is written, even though we still use...
Segev Moran,
As I said about one of your other posts, you are very perceptive, BUT you are saying not to use Scriptures to prove a Bible doctrine. Really, the only place to find truth is in the Bible. There is an old saying that you can prove Anything you want to, from the Bible. Now listen...
Valigean,
Please let me explain something to you. Everything about a subject is not written in one place in the Bible. Scriptures explain Scripture!!! There is a term, Intertextuality, which means that every Scripture is related to other Scripture. Scriptures can be complementary, a fortiori...
God didn't "record" anything. People did. Sometimes they did a good job; sometimes they didn't. Some of what they recorded was lost. Some of what they recorded was not included in the Bible. Some of what they recorded was included in early versions of the Bible, but was later omitted. Some...
Katzpur,
God does want us to understand His words, but as the Bible says; we must search for truth, as for silver or gold, which you must put in effort to find, Proverbs2:1-9.
God had recorded in His word, The Holy Bible, all information needed by His loyal ones, and God condemned the...
Jabar,
There is only ONE group of Holy Scripture that fits, truth, The Holy Bible. God said that He would protect His sayings from every generation, Psalms 12:6,7. He has done that, in spite of many powerful enemies who have tried to destroy the Bible, and others who have tried to corrupt...
The only way to be humanly sure (Godly sure is somethng different) Is to translate it and copy it in the same spirit as it was written. Listen to The Holy Spirit. Revelation 2:7
Who are you talking to? LOL
I think what you mean is it is what is written that God has promised*.
Here's where it...
Jayhawker Soule,
One thing, translating from one language is not easy, and should only be done by someone who understands both languages very well and also understands what God's purpose is. Many words, in other languages, mean several things, just like English, so to translate a word...
Katzpur,
Not only does God care for our welfare, but He has promised that He will right all the past wrongs, and make sure that mankind stays on the right course, and in the very near future.
The Almighty God, whose Proper Name is Jehovah, in English, is Perfect in every way, and He expects...
I am not certain if one can know for certain that he is indeed wise, but I assure you, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:7)
"My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; So that thou...
Thats if you believe in hell.
Can you please show the Scripture where it says that people will be writhing in agony in hell?
Also where in the Old Testament does it say that people go to heaven? Only in the New Testament does it say that! The reson for that? because the bible says that...
