Re: Is being an atheist irrational?

Depends upon how much an atheist knows, and how much of his knowledge is accurate. But as far as an atheist being negative toward Christianity - or faith of any other sort - only if such faith is perceived as dangerous or hurtful, can I see it rational to really care. Of course, there are many peopl...

The History of Jesus' Traditional Burial Site

Very interesting! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4332446/Historic-restoration-Jesus-burial-shrine-completed.html Interesting that the traditional crucifixion site is so close to the traditional tomb site. Also interesting, is that it was once outside of the city, but later, inside it...

Re: New Theological discourse happening

As there is only ONE real God - the God of Scripture - then all these other gods people believe in and follow are not only false gods, but those gods don't even EXIST! So, while those sincerely believing other faiths are often sincere and devout - WHAT they are sincere and devout about is how their ...

Re: Jesus's dead

Stu: Why do they (JWs) say Jesus died on a stake? Does that even matter? They don't believe what the Bible clearly and redundantly teaches: That Jesus was, is and has always been God! And JWs deny it. So, if they assert a lie about what is most important about Christ, why care about arguments over ...

Re: Priest cops a feel

Well, if Pete's "successor" would only get back to the fact that St. Pete dug chicks AND was married, then poor chaps like that priest would get to see breasts (and much more), most anytime the mood strikes. But noooooooooooooo. :roll:

Re: Priest cops a feel

K: She was probably like, "noooooo!!!", but I'm sure the priest was like, "Oh yeah!". :)
I thought priests don't dig chicks??? Or, they're to deny their natural drive. y:-?

Re: Evolving from Simple to Complex?

K: The main mistake, I see with Day-Age interpretations like RTB's, is in believing when Moses formulated the text, his concern was more with scientific matters rather than theology. Israel's in particular. In ignoring the intended theology behind the text, much gets missed in trying to literalise ...

Re: Evolving from Simple to Complex?

Hugh, the "intervention" began with how and when God created various things. The interconnectedness of species and their interdependencies,, their created environments, and especially of their timings of the arrival and interdependencies of all dictate how things transpired. This is true w...

Changed the photo because I didn't want anyone to think there was a political motivation behind the post. It was just an interesting photo. BTW. Chuck also played at Clinton's' inauguration.

Re: Does God Tinker with the Universe?

Stu: God tinkers with humans. So I see no reason He would not tinker with the universe. Of course, God can do things however He wants to, as HE is both the Cause of things and their Rule Maker. Stu: A rogue asteroid heading for earth for instance could be redirected by God. No where in the Bible do...

Re: Evolving from Simple to Complex?

K: Some have wrongly conceived of my Progressive Creation position as God tinkering with creation. BUT, that's not how I see it at all. It's not that God necessarily all the way through on each day over hundreds of millions of years "tinkered" with this species and that species. Rather li...

Does God Tinker with the Universe?

The whole idea of God tinkering suggests that He might have created one thing, later decided to change it, or begin anew, or whatever - as if He is experimenting, or needs to - is ridiculous! We have to remember that such things are being speculated upon per how a MAN thinks and what he can know and...

Re: Christian Testimonies - Share yours?

Clay, wasn't sure what you meant. Just "down" often refers to hell - and Satan is not THERE, he's HERE.
