Re: Why did God create Man?
God created ( not just man but all of creation) in a supreme act of love. God being a fully satisfied and self-sustained BUT "other-centered" being ( The Trinity) created the universe to "share" His love, as an expression of that "other-centered" love. Because he was b...

Re: Why did God create Man?
No need to apologize, but thank you for your politeness :) does God require food to live? if not then why did he make all life depending on food, literally? does God die? if not then how does a thing like death even exists? Does God sin, as in go against his own will? if not then how come sin, or th...

Re: Why did God create Man?
Silvertusk: God is the Trinity. When I say God, I say Trinity :) The Trinity was lonely? :p Neo-X: I sometimes suspect that emotions (like morality?) is derived from spirit. Its action can be seen through chemical process in our bodies, but where does it come from? ^recap: emotions are inherently ab...

Re: Why did God create Man?
Its partly a joke ;) As for the other part... What would motivate God to do anything? Now I'm not trying to claim understanding of God, for that's impossible. But as creations made in likeness to God, I'd say we have some ideas. And being a very limited being in a further limiting biological shell, ...

Re: A little Guessing game for all board members
Jac, I've been hesitant in revealing Silvertusk's reason for his avatar, nevertheless, I'll let you all know his real reason. Silvertusk chose "shepherd" because in the part of the UK that he comes from, the people there have a special...let's just say a special "affinity" for t...

Re: Does the universe have a purpose
Does the universe have a purpose? For the Atheist: No. Our reality will cease to exist in ~300 billion years. http://genesis1.asu.edu/0308046.pdf For the Christian: Yes. This explosion we're living in, filled with natural and spiritual evils, is part of the timeless question of a beings ability of ...

Re: Why did God create Man?
After much thought... And internal debate... I'm pretty sure God created mankind because He was bored.

"Why Do You Fear Death?"
I'm pretty sure this post is old. And I could be posting this in the wrong thread... but I wanted to add something. In the conclusion: If you fear death, yet believe that God does not exist, then you are being irrational. Then again, maybe you uncertain whether death is the end of your existence. Ar...

Re: Strange dream that i JUST remembered i had...
Here's a thought: The Holy Spirit lives within us, which is part of God. God lives outside of time and space. How does God know everything that will happen? Because he can view it from outside of time. Having the Holy Spirit connects us to God (right?) If this is true, then we might be able to have ...

Re: Scary Thought
Yes, we'll have to wait and see if there's any truth there, speculation can be a dangerous thing :p But its fun to see the connections between the religions of Judaic roots ^_^

2 Thessalonians 2: 3Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction , 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of Go...
