Evidence for God from Science

The old "God is a genie in a lamp" belief. Just ask the genie what you want, and every desire will be yours. Cancer, and physical death are part of the "circle of life". Without death, there can be no life.

So if you're a senior member, what does that exactly make us, ancient? It's really been a pleasure having you here Reactionary. y>:D< Byblos, we must have one foot in the grave, if someone as young as Reactionary can be referred to as "senior" anything. I feel a midlife crisis coming. Whe...

So, what did you think of my post that included my interpretation of the Daniel verse? I'd love to hear your thoughts. I'm gonna have to look into it a little more, before I can let you know what I think. In the meantime, I'd like to know if you also believe in the ultimate annihilation of Satan an...

Thank you for saying so, as I probably wouldn't have noticed. I believe you make a beautiful point that really shows that with G-d, we have to rethink what we think of as "justice" and other concepts. I know at least with myself, there have been times, that I'm ashamed to admit, that I've...

Cheezerrox, this will give you a small example of what I was saying about the differing levels of torment, in B.W.'s book: http://www.bibleprobe.com/hells-dominion.htm Each trapped soul reaped in full measure whatever they had sown during their lives. Many entered this pit and into the cubes by mean...

Do you guys think I should make a separate thread for this debate, so we don't derail this thread too much anymore and so we can discuss this more fully and with other people? Right now, I think we've stayed pretty much on topic, so we could continue here. Cheezerrox, I added a little to my last po...

Philip, I think cheezerrox would say that all unbelievers will get different degrees of punishment before their annihilation. But, ultimately that makes no sense, if all are destroyed(annihilated). Because, like you said, all would get the same fate. I don't know if I could make a biblical case thou...

So, you don't believe man was created as a being with an everlasting spirit, who temporarily abides in this mortal body? I can't say that I do. I do believe that all men have a spirit that's been given to them by G-d, some spark of the divine within them that separates us from the other creatures t...

. I think a better, more specific way to put it would be that we view being without G-d differently, as well as the important doctrine of the inherent immortality of the spirit of men (which I do not accept). So, you don't believe man was created as a being with an everlasting spirit, who temporari...

Cheezerrox, where does man's spirit go after death? Where does an unbeliever's spirit go? Do you also believe man's spirit gets annihilated? I believe man's spirit goes to Sh'ol/Ades, both the believer and the unbeliever (Genesis 42:38, Psalm 16:10, 31:17, Job 17:16, 21:13, Acts 2:31). I do believe...

The nature that seeks to game God’s own character attributes against each other in order to rule or get out of a jam. This is called rebellion, and defines sin. Human beings were fashioned according to God’s own eternal nature and likeness. This way, when God slays the wicked mortal being, that per...

Callisto, I think the context of Romans 3 makes it pretty clear that the "all" in "all have sinned" refers to humanity. Adding angels to the mix, is clearly adding something that wasn't intended. Just look at Romans 3:22-23: 22 This righteousness is given through faith in[h] Jes...

Hell is very commonly described as the place a "bad" person goes to spend the rest of time (aka forever) in punishment at the hand of Satan. I ask of you this though, what "crime" would be so bad that it would condemn that person to spend eternity in misery? I think that every C...

I don't know if God created the arc angels with the ability to know fear. It leads to a conundrum of sorts because a question I asked myself a number of years ago which I didn't have a satisfactory response for (and I don't believe there is a satisfactory response for it) was, Have the angels Gabri...

First off, welcome to the site, newnature. When you get the time, please tell us a little about yourself in the General chit chat forum. Now, getting to your post, one thing I noticed, was that you never mentioned man's spirit. Man was created with a spirit, that's eternal. Man is made up of a body,...
