Evidence for God from Science

John 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it]. What does this verse mean? Was it just for the disciples? It doesn't seem to always hold true. Any ideas? When you ask for something in Christ's name, it is not referring to a magic formula of Words to say to make something happen. Wh...

Which Hell are we talking about in this thread? Sheol? Hades? Gehenna? Tartarus? How is hell both dark and yet filled with flaming fire? What does the fire stand for ? Real fire or Judgment? Will Jesus really have a sword coming out of his mouth? Is God a cosmic torch ? Why would God bring back peo...

Yes I agree with that as well. I have been thinking about that verse: Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. It is my understanding that the word "WORD" here is referring to the spoken word. So unsaved people can only receive faith if the Gospel is p...

YLTYLT, you forgot to quote the work and the author [rule of the Forum].

Can you cite the source so we can check it out before commenting?

Let me dig around my personal Library - I have several that discuss this passage and I'll get back with you on this topic.

Along those same lines: What relationship does "having faith" have to "being faithful". I realize this can be a very touchy subject, I just recently started thinking about this and I am not sure what to think. Definitely, "Being faithful" would mean to honor your commi...

I was reading an article about whether morality without God is possible, and it was from a Christian's vantage point, and the guy pointed out that it's circular reasoning to say that God decides right and wrong....and that God is good because He only does things that which is good. Also makes moral...

Jac,

Have you read Norman Giesler's work 'Chosen But Free - second edition rewrite?'

If so, what do you think of it?

Here is a topic — Faith. When discussing the subject of faith to an unbeliever who's concept of faith is skewed by atheism, or philosophy, humanism, and all other religions — how would you try to define faith? Is faith a feeling? Belief system? Simple or Complex Believism? Things hoped for out of th...

Thank you, That helps a lot. I was wondering this in reference to John 3:17, because I see that the word saved is in the subjunctive. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. I know that Calvinist claim that the use of the word &...

I assume that everyone has herd about the "Gospel of Judas" found in 1970 in Egypt... they just put it back together and over the last few weeks, it's been more and more in the news. one could look at this one of two ways. One - God allowed this "Gospel" to be found in order for...

I used to live in McLean, just up the road from Falls Church. I know it well. I commute into DC and pick up the Metro there most every day now. Cherry blossoms are out. It is up and down, but the weather is nice. I've been to Colorado Springs before. I spent most of last year in Albuquerque New Mex...

How can hell not be neglected and negated in today's modern world? The abolishment of "cruel and unusual punishment" is the highest law of the land in the US. Even in our imperfect, far-from-Godlike society we've come to know that it is not acceptable to inflict punishment of pain and tor...

I know this is a gross oversimplification, but that's fine. If hell is real, then it is relevant, regardless of what anyone thinks about it. That which independently exists and is real, ceases to be relative to anyone's opinion. If hell is not real, then serious issues exist as to the truth of Scri...

While your at it, you may want to do a little research on the Anabaptist movement before and during Calvin's time. (Hint: They were not the nice peaceful folks that we associate with the movement today). Names such as Thomas Muntzer and John of Leyden. Movement such as the Cathars and the Taborites...

Here is an interesting verse that may ( :roll: doubtful :roll: ) clear up things. 2 Chron 7:14 Sounds to me based on this passage that these people had a choice in whether they were saved or not. Read the whole chapter I do not believe I have not taken it out of context. Although I believe salvatio...
