Evidence for God from Science

KBCid, I'm well aware of the fallacy of making an appeal to authority. That doesn't mean that there aren't opinions on matters that aren't more relevant than others because of the education of the person giving the opinion. I don't know about you, but that's one reason why I'm willing to have a have...

Interesting article.

Peter Higgs has some strong things to say about Richard Dawkins' own fundamentalist approaches to thinking and reasoning.

More xenophobia.

The Epistle to the Hebrews does have some very unique qualities to it, in part because it is written from a deeply Jewish perspective and that's important to understand when you read it. This link gives a reasonable look at its background, authorship and the primary messages. I don't necessarily agr...

I'm not a theistic evolutionist and your question is one reason I haven't fully embraced the position. There isn't a clear answer. In the area of creationism (Young Earth and Old Earth Creationism) it's not a question because the creation of man was instant and man became a living soul. Theistic Evo...

It seems to me that there are 2 questions that often get confused in addressing the death penalty. One is theoretical and draws to spiritual and moral values as to whether there should be a death penalty at all. The other is practical and draws to whether our current legal system is applying or can ...

Far be it from me to put words in your mouth KBCid, Look Sir, I will not assume you are trying to do anything with an evil intent. I want interaction to buildup so you have nothing to worry about from my end as I am sure your intent to help is genuine. I want you to express your heart as the spirit...

Far be it from me to put words in your mouth KBCid, but I think what you've learned is that establishing what the Bible says about things relies heavily upon the interpretive approach (or hermeneutic) that is taken when it is read and applied. Given what you've said about your approach, the obvious ...

Works based salvation/sanctification = We do in order that we might become ..... Grace based salvation/sanctification = We recognize what we have become in Christ, and we do because of who we are. Gal 3: 1You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portr...

KBCid, just for the purposes of understanding, and not necessarily to attempt to label you, would you assess your own position as Sabellianism? If not, is there a traditional position that better describes what you're saying?

All I'm saying is that people shouldn't consider the opinions of racial and cultural bigots as to who decides the "internal matters" of an entire nation and instead examine ideas and opinions on their own merits. That's a general comment, not directed specifically to you. People can form t...

Beautiful!

Thank you for sharing this. I enjoy poetry and you write very well.

I love bacon, ham and still have the aftertaste of little smokies in my mouth while I am writing this .......

I would never threaten anyone with a gun, but people can have my ham sandwich when they pry it from my cold, dead Tupperware ........

I yam what yam, and I think how I think.

Dualism and all or nothing thinking, approaches questions by proposing two alternatives (in this case law or grace) and asking which we are under in a manner in which both are mutually exclusive, meaning you can only pick for one and against the other. The assumptions that end up being argued then i...
