Re: Most/Least Powerful Arguments for God

What does morally superior look like??
Morally superior behavior is behavior we can see as Scripturally taught as being right, as opposed being wrong/sinful - telling the truth vs. lying, etc. God sets the standards. But no PERSON, per God's measuring stick, is morally superior.

Re: Deformities caused by Zika. really?

Last I checked, a mosquito doesn't care what your politics are or what your legal status is. That's a whole other (but important) issue.

Re: Most/Least Powerful Arguments for God

Ken: Isn't to say "Gods morals are superior to yours, and I follow God's morals" a less offensive way of saying that your morals are superior to the non-believers? Being a believer who is committed to GOD'S sense of morality, does not mean that you yet OWN His morality, but merely aspire ...

Re: God Isn't There, Doesn't Answer My Prayers!

Interesting, from Wikipedia, on Osteen: Osteen says that he chooses to focus more on the goodness of God and on living an obedient life rather than on sin. He says that he tries to teach Biblical principles in a simple way, emphasizing the power of love and a positive attitude. When asked why he do...

Re: RTB: Serious Problems with Evolution

Abel: Before any of you accept the theory of evolution,whether you believe in God or not,you should at least wait until scientists can demonstrate life evolves and not one has or can. A HUGE mistake many make, is getting sucked into arguments about evolution, AS IF, they have anything to say about ...

Re: Most/Least Powerful Arguments for God

Ken: Whether you like it or not, admit to it or not, there have been many Christians to hold that position Well, it depends upon exactly what aspect of moral superiority we're speaking of. If we are comparing ANYONE'S morality to God, then we are all but miserable, sinful creatures. If we are speak...

Re: Most/Least Powerful Arguments for God

Ken: The least powerful argument I can think of in support of God is the claim that those who believe are morally superior to those who do not. Ken, Paul kind of beat me to it - but that is TRUE! But anyone claiming such doesn't know what God says about that in Scripture. We are, to a one, in God's...

Re: Can We Be Good Without God...

Ken: If nothing known to mankind had the shape of a triangle, there would be no such thing as a triangle; False. It might be that a thing exists, that we would assign descriptive terms to, but that we are nonetheless unaware of its existence. Ken: the only reason the term “triangle” exists is becau...
