Evidence for God from Science

Here's the deal, as soon as you buy into the belief that a ghost, alien or whatever is 1)truly what they claim or appear to be and 2) that you believe that what they might communicate to you is the truth, or that they have some higher knowledge that will benefit us mere mortals - THEN you are ripe t...

Murray, Ah the money angle...yes, certainly it was at least a part of Hubbard's motive: At a New Jersey science fiction convention, in 1951, Hubbard stated, “Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wanted to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion.” ...

Typical of atheists' arguments against God are enormous misunderstandings. First, while God does have a plan for mankind that will turn out EXACTLY as He has always known it would and has always desired it to, yet nonetheless He carries it out and interacts with mankind within our own understandings...

L ron hubbard wrote a book and founded a religion that "kills spiritually", Does that make him demon possessed? Not necessarily. But then again one can be deceived, tempted, influenced or used by the devil without specifically being possessed. And I would say an important clue as to wheth...

You want a God who can keep giving chances.. Plus it's a complete absurdity to believe that God would need to give anyone further chances at embracing salvation - because as he already intimately knows the hearts, motivations, actions and decisions (past, present and FUTURE) of each person - he thu...

Again, unless God saves people (post Jesus) apart from knowledge of and faith in Jesus, then it is not apparent in Scripture. ( Edited 12-7 to add that: It MIGHT be true that God reveals Himself deeper ( beyond the "General Revelation" described in Romans 1), including knowledge of Jesus a...

Murray said, I think he just made the whole thing up to make money, which he did And perhaps, ORIGINALLY, money WAS essentially Joseph Smith's motivation. In fact, his family had long supplemented its farm income by so-called "treasure-digging." Smith would hire himself out to find lost it...

It's not a book of Satan; it is a book of MAN. Murray, Anyone who knows Scripture also knows that the Bible warns against false prophets and those who would deceive with "strange doctrines." Scripture is filled with many warnings about false prophets (Matthew 24:11, 24; 2 Corinthians 11:4...

Murray, lots of people share the same things Christians do but that doesn't make them Christians. Even the most vile tyrants and dictators as well as atheists and agnostics love their children and often show kindnesses to those they like - but these good deeds do not make them Christians. Make no mi...

would a "true" Christian do that? Would he compromise his faith, so to speak, just for the presidency? Well, I would hope not. Certainly many would. But in your cynicism - and certainly I share it to a degree - wouldn't you agree that SOMEONE has to lead. Our democracy has strong Christia...

Obama is out..... Well, that looks quite possible, but the keys are going to be will the disenfranchised independents abandon him in sufficient numbers (looks like it) and will those who traditionally oppose Republicans be motivated enough to come out to the polls in large numbers (that's questiona...

One must look at where one places his/her faith in - the biblical Jesus or in Government - or in self or in self works.... ABSOLUTELY true! Government will NEVER truly deliver us from earth's problems and is certainly not our hope for the future, here or in eternity (GOD is!). But God DOES give us ...

It appears my post has devolved into issues only on the periphery, but that are mostly NOT addressing my assertion: that a man's faith IS important when considering his candidacy for president, and that a man of a non-Christian faith has a much greater propensity of being deceived and/or deceptive h...

I'll just weigh in briefly on Mitt Romney, a man I see that is smart, looks and sounds presidential, has a solid business and leadership background, and is (relatively) conservative. A lot about this man looks like he might make a good president. But as a Christian, I would never vote for him. For o...

1over137, yes, the real question for one faced with the questions surrounding Christianity (as they clearly are at least peripherally aware of the basic teachings of the Bible/its claims about Christ) is "What do YOU say about the Bible's commands about repentance and belief in Jesus: (per Roma...
