Re: Goodbye brothers, I am leaving the board

Neo and the rest, I'm trying to wrap my head around why it has to come to this. I've always respected Neo's right to his own opinion. But I might not agree with it or with what he views as a fact. I may even disparage it as being mere, unprovable opinion. But Neo believes what he believes - that is ...

Seeing God in A Dream

Whether this man's story is true or not, I do not know. But, if so, it does not surprise me. Very rare, perhaps, but it doesn't surprise.

Re: Doublethink

and so death spread to all MEN because ALL sinned And so to whom did death spread?: "to all MEN" . And because WHO sinned?: "All MEN" Did the ANIMALS sin and then death spread to them as well? Can ANIMALS sin? Does Scripture say that animals suddenly formed carnivore/herbivore, ...

Re: Doublethink

So, there was NO death whatsoever before Adam and Eve sinned?
So what did they all of those carnivores eat? Tofu? What about plant death? Plants are living things.

Re: Doublethink

And let's also clearly believe that OEC / Progressive Creationism does NOT believe in or embrace macroevolution. And most Progressive Creationists believe that the events and people in Genesis are both real and historical. The ONLY difference between YECs and OECs / Progressive Creationists SHOULD b...

Re: Healthcare

I'd be entirely open to alternative suggestions of better/even less worse methods - free of politicking, free of industry lobbying, free of value-sapping/value-neutral profiteering, as efficient as possible, fairly funded and fairly distributed . Here, on EARTH? As designed by HUMAN BEINGS? :lol: :...

Re: Did Jesus have a Wife?

I can tell you the motive behind those perpetrating this falsehood - they want to do all they can to make Jesus appear to be ONLY a mere mortal and moral teacher. The next and related step is they often state that Jesus had sexual relationships with other women. They want to do everything possible t...

Re: Quick question

They believe him to be "a god", not God and they he was the Archangel Michael, that The Word was a created being ( to state just a few issues). A group can claim faith in Christ all day long, but if they believe in and teach a Christ that is not Scriptural, that He is not also God, that H...

:esurprised: Can we beat them for six days as long as we give rest on the seventh? To say this shows that you are WOEFULLY ignorant about what a slave was in ancient ISRAEL.

Re: Christians rejecting the Old Testament

Lets test the logic behind your Adam and Eve.... You have the same exact genetic makeup as Adam. You have the same exact influences as Adam and you are met with the same identical circumstances.... Would you have chosen differently? No - and neither would ANYONE else. It would only be a matter of t...

Re: Christians rejecting the Old Testament

What are the dire consequences of a reflection of love that is unhindered, without bounds, that doesn't discard a single life, that doesn't judge, that doesn't condemn..... Regardless of what is thrown at it, it loves! So man can decide to do ANYTHING it wants and God must accept it - He SHOULD acc...
