Evidence for God from Science

Audacity, just some advice. Fwiw, if you want to be treated with respect and entertained in proper discussion, then treat others here like friends. No Christian here is out to really attack you or the like. There is no reason to show contempt for people here. No contempt felt or meant, only a lot o...

All false religions teach works for savation just like the other religions you bring up.Not knowing about religions is not an excuse to reject Christ.Christ offers us a gift of salvation that he paid for in full,no other God you can bring up did,which is why they are taught that they must do works,...

You answered the "how?", now ask yourself "why?" Hmmm, no answer. Suppose I should make up some kind of answering contraption or being that I impute with the ability to answer? Or is your existence irrelevant, as well? Well, right now my existence is relevant to me, thank you ve...

Audacity, Do yourself and us, a favor, and reread this post by Jac. Until you understand what you're arguing against, you're defeating a straw man. I did, and replied right below it. Sorry, but I don't know how to find the linking url to any particular post. And again, Jac addressed your answer her...

It is not an excuse,it is you with the excuse to not believe in God and I bet you have a list of excuses too. I know some fundie Christians think that believing in the Christian god is kind of a binding default position everyone is expected to adhere to, and that to not believe in him one must come...

Audacity you have free will. Jesus can save you,Jesus died for you too,so that you can be saved and all you've got to do is believe in him and ask him to save you. If you reject this? You are using your free-will to deny God's gift of salvation to you.You are using your free will to reject him,by c...

I meant what are the causes that precede and put into action. The chain of cause/effect events in your life that ultimately led up to the moment of your doing. In the case of will, I believe we have free will, something more than instinct. We question things. We get lost in the beauty of a sunset. ...

Hi Audacity :) Tell me where it says anywhere that you are condemned for not finding. But isn't this what finding the truth is all about, to find it so as to avoid being condemned to hell? No, the point is in the looking and not rejecting Christ. Rejecting Christ is the only thing that condemns you...

I think your guess (premise) is wrong that God would not confuse. Somewhere in there, amidst the Abrahamic stories, you'll found a Tower of Babel, right? So you think that because god had reason enough to make people speak different languages, he had good reason to make sure his message was so conf...

Hi Audacity :) Tell me where it says anywhere that you are condemned for not finding. But isn't this what finding the truth is all about, to find it so as to avoid being condemned to hell? As for the Sunday School question of why anything exists at all.... you dismiss it, why? Surely that is the fi...

Of the actions of the will? Utter random events, a successive series of cause/effect operations, or a combination of the two. If this isn't satisfactory, then what do you see as controlling the decisions of the will?

Well Audacity :) So, are you saying free will doesn`t exist? That we are all under some kind of control, whether that be genes, mind, the ghost in the machine, God, whatever... Controlled by the causes that precede and put into effect what one does. Maybe none of us are real? Maybe we`re all figure...

Notwithstanding I think Scripture is quite clear, Your premise is wrong. That if God reveal Himself, He would reveal Himself fully. My only premise, actually a conclusion, is that because god has let his word become so corrupted it seems obvious he really doesn't care what it says. Let's not make a...
