Re: Shroud of Turin

Hey ACB, you also forgot to mention the Gap Theory and Donald Trump! :pound:
Yes, that boy's just a tad obsessed on those. My theory is that Trump has one heck of a hairless gap under that squirrel rug he wears. He must use industrial strength hairspray on that thing. :pound:

Re: Shroud of Turin

I don't know for CERTAIN that the Shroud is authentic proof of the Resurrection, but I do believe it reveals attributes that, certainly collectively, are what one would expect of the real deal. And if it is not, it makes no sense that 1) it would have the attributes that it does, 2) nor would an anc...

Re: Shroud of Turin

Swordfish, God indeed give us other evidences to believe! "But if I do his work, believe in the evidence of the miraculous works I have done, even if you don't believe me. THEN you will know and understand that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father." (John 10:38) "So Jesus said ...

Re: God's Precision in the Universe/Measures of Starlight Time

Hugh: The idea that the whole book of Isaiah is merely a transcribing of the words of the Lord is naive, and seems specifically denied by all the different circumlocutions with which the various statements are qualified. Of COURSE it's not a mere transcription, but the words are inspired as they we...

Re: Sex

The Bible is VERY pro-sex! AS LONG AS it is practiced withing the confines of marriage, and as long as both parties are fine with the particulars - meaning, as long as it doesn't involve anything that is physically, mentally, psychologically, or spiritually harmful, then it's ALL good! God didn't gi...

Re: God's Precision in the Universe/Measures of Starlight Time

He does not, of course, tell us that our works are "filthy rags" in his eyes. Isaiah says that. And Isaiah said THAT so inspired by God - which is why it is part of Scripture. So now you're asserting that just because one of God's chosen messengers makes statements about Him, that it is n...

Re: God's Precision in the Universe/Measures of Starlight Time

Hugh, GOD, Himself, tells us that the wisdom of man (yes, and that includes our logic - EVERYONE'S logic) is but utter foolishness to Him. He tells us He does not think like a man. And YOU and I are men. So He's already warned us that there are limits in trying to understand how He operates. But you...

Re: God's Precision in the Universe/Measures of Starlight Time

Hugh: " I just don't think God works irrationally" Um, Hugh, you apparently believe that God only works rationally BY MAN'S STANDARDS as to what is rational!!! But look at all of the things God has done through out Scripture that defies the logic of man! He considers sin so terrible that ...

Re: Jesus!

Just a suggestion - and its one I myself need to adhere more to - but when someone asks a relatively straight forward question, let's try to not bury him in words of a million paragraphs and technical verbiage. I think ICE's head must be swimming about right now. As we are mortal and as also God is ...

Re: My journey

Yes, Annette, Happy Birthday! It is good that you can see the REAL problems with your husband. It's not you, it's what he doesn't have - peace that only God can bring. Perhaps, the more he sees that YOU are growing evermore secure and content, despite the ongoing storms, it will bewilder him to real...

Hana, will lift all up as you request. Melanie's advice is good - let God deal with family, when and per how His wisdom will do so. You have far enough concerns and stresses on you. All of your friends here, from around the world, love and are praying for you, Tomas and family. I wish there was some...

Re: God's Precision in the Universe/Measures of Starlight Time

Hugh, you clearly do not understand how to read what possibilities Scripture will allow and what it does not. And there IS more than one way to parse these passages. There is also more than one way to consider what the Genesis passages are actually referring to. There is more than one way the very s...

Re: God's Precision in the Universe/Measures of Starlight Time

Hugh: I'm really scratching my head in an attempt to make head or tail of this. You can dismiss the six day creation of the Universe with an airy wave of the hand, but cling doggedly to the moulding of a woman around a dissected bone? Surely not... You reject the creation of Adam and Eve due to the...

Re: God's Precision in the Universe/Measures of Starlight Time

Hugh: Yet there are those who accept the first but deny the second. Baffling.... That has to do with how one views Scripture, whether mostly symbolically, or that it when it asserts literal, historical events, what is one's response to such. What does the verbiage and context allow for - and what d...

Re: God's Precision in the Universe/Measures of Starlight Time

Yes, it seems to me that for so many scientific data and parameter measurements , which so well cross correlate with each other, to be ALL wrong, well, it's pretty mind-boggling. Wouldn't God WANT us to draw accurate conclusions from what he allows us to measure, and with the tools He's given us to ...
