Re: Evolution and Intelligent Design

Thank you for the response. I checked around on the forums, and it seems people think Theistic evolution (If that's what I'm leaning toward, I hate to give titles to my beliefs if they are somewhat unique to me and not ripped directly from someone else) looks at Scripture too metaphorically. with th...

Re: Evolution and Intelligent Design

Hi guys. I feel a little awkward jumping in, but I read through most of this thread and I'm seeing a lot more argueing on whether or not arguements exist than discussion on evolution and creationism itself. I'm only 17, and I obviously lack the knowledge either of you have, so I hope you can forgive...

Re: El vs Elohim

I'm mostly really starting to evangelize and witness to others, and even though i know in my heart Jesus is God and I know the Bible supports this, I want to be able to answer arguments on the gra...

Re: El vs Elohim

To clarify: in Isaiah 9:6 (I believe) the coming child is referred to as God Almighty with the word El. God is usually referred to as Elohim, but why the difference here?

Re: El vs Elohim

Thanks for the reply. I think I got that part, I'm also a little confused about the argument of "Son of God" as a title being different than "son of God". Are the words actually different or is it just context?

El vs Elohim

Hello discussion boarders! I am new here. I came to faith a few years ago (I'm a teenager) and I'm at the point in my faith where I really want to test it by hearing arguments against it. I'm also trying to get a better understanding of the original language of the Bible. In my searches, I came acro...
