Evidence for God from Science

I would only disagree with PL in one aspect of what he said, that is tongues. By Paul's time tongues was no longer actual existing languages, interpretation of tongues was a corollary of speaking in tongues. I agree that it is severely abused nowadays, but I don't agree that it is always false. I ba...

In regard to Mr Fortigurn, are we arguing with antichrist? I think it is a legitimate point as all he does is oppose everything that is said to him, trying to twist it in a direction that only he seems to control. Antichrist is not an individual, remember, but a spirit.

Seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened. Go get baptised and join the rest of us seekers. But don't expect instant or complete knowledge, that comes at the end of the book you have only started.

I'm trying so hard to keep from ending my life. The only reason I am not doing it or hurting others is because of my faith. I'm tired of godless idiots trying to accuse religion of being evil, but they have no idea that they'd be six feet under by now if it wasn't for my faith. I'm tired of living ...

I have often pondered this issue and I feel that it is central to our understanding of God. There appears to be no real balance between the two extremes, but perhaps that is because the issue has been dominated by the extremists on both sides. I will admit that I have a problem with the concept of a...

although I can't really see the problem. I'm not sure what "problem" you think we see. It seems to me any "problem" seen would stem from you since you began the thread??? I mean - claiming exlcusivity on absolute truth; rituals that are arguably theologically dubious; lack of real understanding wit...

Define "church" Mr. J. The Church is defined by God and His Word. Like it or not, it is a very exclusive "club", and those who believe in purgatory and "indulgences", those who worship idols. etc. are excluded. Galatians 1:8 "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you t...

[quote="puritan lad"][quote="Thinker"]Didn't the Catholics or Roman Catholics bring us the The Bible though? If they are not Christian and brought Christianity to us, then why are they not the same as us minus the added things they do?[/quote You could make the same argument for Mormons. It is the a...

I don't understand. All these things that people are saying about the catholic church, I've never heard or seen in church. Yes I'm Catholic and yes I have submitted myself to Christ and accepted Him as my Lord and Savior (I'm sure all of you have seen my testimony), so I believe myself to be saved....

KL, why are you so exercised by the RC church? Anger involves a personal commitment and I don't get the impression that you are catholic. As for the church, RC or otherwise I will always defend them because they are my brothers and sisters, they are forgiven just as I am; and also yourself, if you r...

I think Kateliz has the right slant on this issue, and I say that from similar experience with letting God provide. I never was very good at thinking my way through life, and it has been a lot better since I stopped trying to be my own director. There is such a hazy line between being responsible fo...

Why couldn't the dark in Gen 1 simply be matter itself. The way I understand it is that matter is only slowed down light{fallen light?] anyway, so when He seperated the light from the dark He simply pulled the dark out of the light. The basic concept is used more than once in religious thought.

John 8:20 "You do not know me or my Father," Jesus replied. "If you knew me, you would know my Father also." He spoke these words while teaching in the temple area near the place where the offerings were put. Yet no one seized him, because his time had not yet come." John 14:9 Jesus answered: "Don'...

That's interesting, I never thought about the acceleration requiring a force, from whence cometh it? I think of stretchiness as the quality your body acquires as you age, it too, accelerates.

Thanks Jakelo, that is about what I would have said. Even with all the evil that has crept in, the church has been a constant witness to Jesus. In answer to Kateliz I would like to ask her who is known as the accuser of the saints? Where are you in relation to him if you are doing the same thing. Ch...
