Re: Skeptics Question: So what about those without the Gospe
And I remember wondering (during the last presidential election) how many Christians ever pray for "God's candidates to win" instead of the ones they PERSONALLY desire. I mean, just as Romans 13:1-2 reveals, God sure puts a lot of people in office and authority that often seems unthinkable...

Re: Skeptics Question: So what about those without the Gospe
Hello, Furstentum Liechtenstein. I conclude my assertions from what the Bible says about how God has placed men in history and how He also controls its very outcome. Also, I look at history itself. Perhaps I am overreaching or speculative, but I believe in general what I am saying makes sense. First...

Re: Skeptics Question: So what about those without the Gospe
I'll comment just a bit further upon the fact that God has MERCIFULLY placed all men in their specific geographic places and times: By "clustering" together heathen peoples - those who God foreknew would stubbornly remain unrepentant and rebellious - not to mention how He "sprinkled&...

What's the fate of ones who died and never heard of Jesus?
What about those who never had access to the Gospel or never heard of Jesus? More specifically, if the Gospel and knowledge of Jesus is necessary for salvation - and God truly wants to save "ALL" persons - then why did He withhold this knowledge from so many millions? Sorry in advance for...

Re: Gotquestions.org inconsistent?
I must admit that gotquestions.org perplexes me as well. So much of their content is scriptural and informative, and I hope the problems there will be resolved. About two years back, I had corresponded with gotquestions over an article on their site that I asserted had many deficiencies. As they lik...

Re: Homosexuality is not a sin
I believe that not everything in the Bible is innately correct To believe that much of or large portions of the Bible are incorrect is to also believe that God could create our extraordinary universe and literally speak uncountable species and their dependent physics and chemistries into existence,...

Re: SO JUST WHAT WAS GOD DOING IN ETERNITY PAST?
eric246, I quite agree, that IF God has created other beings or civilizations, it apparently is not necessary or relevant for us to know about them. My first guess would be that IF they exist (I'm agnostic on that) they are either dimensionally inaccessible or so physically remote that it is impossi...

Re: SO JUST WHAT WAS GOD DOING IN ETERNITY PAST?
SnowDrops, I can't say whether or not God has created other living beings - I'm agnostic on that. And if so, are they fallen like us? In need of redemption? I'd say if they exist, just like us, they need Jesus. Note that even many angels (Satan, demons) are also fallen creatures. But as for alien li...

Re: SO JUST WHAT WAS GOD DOING IN ETERNITY PAST?
The "Got Questions" response to what was God doing in eternity past references "time" and a "beginning." But these both reference the time and beginning of OUR timeline and OUR universe. It says nothing of what he might have created or what might have existed before He ...

SO JUST WHAT WAS GOD DOING IN ETERNITY PAST?
Just a few musings on God, time and Creation: While certainly understandable, especially in our unquenchable thirst to interpret available scientific data in light of God's Word to mankind (the Bible), I find the arguments over the length of the "days" of Creation rather amusing. I guess, ...

Re: Alice Cooper
As for Alice Cooper, I am very conflicted. As a kid, back in the early '70s, I really liked his music. But as I awakened to the faith of my childhood and matured in my Christianity, I realized that a lot of Alice's music was rather sick and twisted. Of course Alice views what he does as schlock/mock...

Study of "Replenish" the earth" in Genesis 1:28
The use of the word "replenish" in Genesis 1:28 is used by some to support a gap theory. In Hebrew The word 'replenish' (KJV) simply means 'fill' - see a detailed study of this: http://www.answersingenesis.org/creatio ... lenish.asp

My questions are posed ONLY to those of you (as do I) subscribing to Old Earth Creationism (an approximately 4.5 billion year old earth and 13.73 billion year old universe), as Young Earth creationists are unlikely to accept any widely accepted age estimates, either archaeological/geological or DNA-...
