Evidence for God from Science

"rather than taking as a premise that Science is wrong"

That's not the premise, and if you aren't going to interact with my actual point, then nevermind. I won't waste any more of my time.

I do want to briefly add to my comment above, as I mentioned but glossed over it in my longer comments, that the "because of" really is, I think, the lynch pin in all this. There's entirely too much emphasis put on the "the one who subjugated it." The words before that--"bec...

That's fantastic. I mean that, sincerely. When you said, "How does a Jews become like a Jew when he is already a Jew?" I was caught off guard. I then looked back at the text. And you are exactly right. Excellent observation. Paul is a Jew already and now saying he is making himself like a ...

Yes!

Only one comment -- does God want us to be 'happy'? Yes or to be growing, maturing Christians. Yes Because sometimes Our idea of being 'happy' -- involves things that aren't in our best interest. Yes. And such "happiness" isn't real happiness, is it? Thanks for agreeing about the common s...

I'll hold off making many comments until you respond to my other points. I don't want to overload or distract. But I will make three very quick points you can respond to as you like: 1. There's no way to maintain that the name "Adam" must be specifically mentioned in order to see him as th...

First, there's nothing inexplicable about love, hope, peace, joy, or any of that from a scientific perspective. Yet all of them, rightly understood, still absolutley prove the existence of a loving God. And second, yes, we should add hate and despair to that list, for they, too, prove the existence ...

I don't know how to underline, etc. but want to comment on "God loves being in interaction with His creation....." That is made known to us in Philippians 4:6,7, 8,9, 13. It is indeed, and I believe (by Faith) it's true. However, from a Scientific perspective we may ask whether there is a...

I think I see. Your last statement is exactly on point. In my assessment, you do not need a degree to answer such questions. Obviously, the more educated you are in various aspects of biblical studies, the more thorough your answers can be. But let's just take Rom 3:7 as an example. (By the way, I d...

The "him" verses "Him", many translations use an upper "H". I think this is the most important difference between us and where everything hinges. Convince me this is Adam and I'll need to rethink matters, but let me offer up some reasons for believing this is God. Sure...

Depends on the force of "entered into the world." I see all of 5-8 as a unit, so I see something very universal in Paul's mind. In that view, it's less about whether or not any part of creation had ever sinned before, but about how the creation itself was subjected to frustration and deat...

Depends on the force of "entered into the world." I see all of 5-8 as a unit, so I see Paul as having in mind the entirety of creation (cf esp Rom 8:18-25).On that view, it might be less about whether or not any part of creation had ever sinned before, but about how the creation itself was...

bbyrd is a troll

I WYN DA INTERWEBZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is a systematic approach to interpreting Scriptures and do I need to use that approach in order to answer a question as to what Paul is saying in Romans 3:7? Thanks. Sorry to answer a question with a question, but could you say more about what you're after? The entire field of hermeneutics is ...
