Evidence for God from Science

Can someone explain this passage to me?

luke 16:1-14

How is being shrewd and dishonest an example of being children of light? I know it doesn't really mean that but it is a confusing passage.

2 corinthians 2:5-11

Let's pray it comes to this.

Your either saved or your not. If she is child of God who is washed in the blood, sealed with the Spirit until the day of redemption, and has Christ as her mediator then it would only make sense that she is going to heaven. Christians do fall into sin. Some for extended period of time. If there are ...

Wow! Ye shall know them by their fruit.

We may not understand why God "predestines" certain things. I personally think it would be much easier to wipe out all evil and save everybody. But His ways and thoughts are much higher than mine, and in the end, we must let God be God, and take confidence in the fact that He works all th...

I am very familiar with Romans 11, that someday the Jewish people will be saved, resulting in greater blessings for the Gentiles. I don't see where this contradicts my view one bit. In order for this to happen, the Jews will foresake demonic Judaism in favor of Christianity, for... Acts 4:12 "...

I agree. I guess I was thinking more along the lines that the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob is the same God that we worship...or don't. Do you see what I mean?

What is an "unsaved christian"?

LOL. I don't know. Good catch. I think I meant to say unsaved person. Was that a Calvinistic slip? Just kidding.

Ruth, I'm trying to grasp what you are saying. Do you think the persecution that the Jews have gone through is an excuse for them to deny Jesus as their Messiah? If so then we can put God on the list because he certainly orchestrated a lot of punishment and slavery for them in the OT. Read Isaiah, J...

Could you show me where Jesus mentions water baptism? The only place that I know of is when He says in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. but it doesn't mention water baptism. And the Holy Spirit comes through faith not by our works. Led, I think this might be your verse. He did send his...

Bernie, I greatly respect your belief. In many ways it does seem to express the perfect attributes of God; love, mercy, faithfulness, even his justice...because even though right now I believe in a literal eternal hell it seems to me in my finite mind that it would be imperfect justice to sentence a...

So your thinking the same as I am? That it's not water baptism, but baptism in the Spirit that counts? ...and to think how so many people get water baptized thinking that it will do something. blame it on the people that teach it! I'd hate to be in their shoes come Judgement Day. Led, you have a gr...

The Jews no more worship the devil than an unsaved christian that was raised in a christian home worships the devil. Jesus never said they worshipped the devil, He said they were of the devil. Jesus even called Peter "Satan" right after he praised him for giving the right answer about who ...

Furthermore, should they want to argue that damnation is temporary, they must agree by the same token that the eternal life that Jesus promised and died for is also temporary, since the same word is used to describe eternal life Yes. That would certainly be a big road block, but it doesn't seem to ...

Some of those were pretty good, PL, but I have to confess that didn't get most of them Just 2, 3, 5, and 9. Anyway, the site I posted is actually a Calvinist's site, according to Dr. Arnett. So don't take it personally. All in good fun :lol: :lol: :lol: You guys are too funny! I honestly laughed fo...
