I would advice caution when countering an interpretation of scripture with another interpretation of scripture.

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

You said Jesus Christ. I then asked have you ever seen Jesus Christ? And I asked you IF my personal opinion would count as proof, well? would it? You seem to be using the bible to prove, in your view, that God doesn't love Us. Only right that I use the bible, the very method you are using, to show ...

Re: Book Review: What's So Great About Christianity

Yep, I read it a couple of times already.
A nice common sense intro to apologetics for the "every day christian".
Dinesha's book about the after life is very interesting also.

Re: Bible infallibility, again...

I think one needs to define what "inerrant" and "infaillable" means. Is it fair to apply the criteria of "inerrant = no errors whatsoever" to a book like Job, which was NOT written that way but was basically a huge parable? Is it fair to apply that criteria or pslams? o...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

And how is it evident that God loves us? Jesus Christ. If that isn't good enough (though for a Christian it is more than enough) and we take the view that God DOES exist and that God is GOD. The simple fact that God still sustains US ( the universe in whole and humans in particular) and has not &qu...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

Rick D. The text says: I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception. In pain thou shalt bring forth children. If he is telling her that she shall bring forth children in pain, that doesnt sound like the pain was already there. It seems pretty clear that he is saying that because you have d...

Re: True Philosophy says no to Evolution ?

I've heard from some creationalists that things like viruses are the result of the fall. They didn't exist until evil entered the world. They stay away from claiming that God created them but state they are a natural occurence of the fallen state of the world. In short, they evolved because the worl...

Re: I'm having doubts about my salvation again

Well, I'll start from the beginning I guess. When I went off to college, it rocked my faith... hard. I guess that I had never really had the strongest foundation for my faith. I was thrown for a loop by all the Atheist arguments. And since then, it's been a kind of up and down struggle. I keep goin...

Re: I'm having doubts about my salvation again

I guess when I do pray, although it's with the tiniest shard of faith these days, I ask that my eyes will be opened to the truth, so as to avoid searching for the truth in circles. I know how weak I am without Christ, and so I pray for Him to throw me some kind of lifeline so I can stay afloat in m...
