Evidence for God from Science

Well nobody HAS to follow the gospel whether they hear it or not, thats the beauty of free will. One simply benefits greatly if they do and they miss out a lot if they don't... I get what your saying though, if people that haven't heard of Christianity go to heaven, isn't it better that they never h...

[Another is that in the end God knows what is in someone's heart. If they hadn't heard the Gospel but would have reacted favourably if they had then God takes this into account.

Isn't this the same thing as predestination? That would defeat the whole purpose of Jesus dying wounldn't it?

Now, I may be WAY off on this, but i heard that in Revelations, the number 3 represents God and the number 6 represents man. So the significance of three 6's is that the Beast will try to convince mankind that they can become God. That's why it is 666.

This is very true

Yeah, I think I understand it better

Thanks Canuckster

Err...sorry, im a little baffled by their way of thinking and how it would make them read past occurences and interpret them as events to come. You'd probably have to explain it to me more. But oh well, it's only certain verses that raise doubt. Many others are clearly talking about Jesus, even with...

Thanks a lot for replying Canuckster, I feel better now after finding some more prophesies, mainly Isaiah 52:13-Isaiah 53:12 which is a very obvious depiction of Jesus. I can also understand how many occurences in the Old Testament have both an immediate and a less immediate fullfillment of God's ag...

I guess you could say I'm having a small faith crisis right now. I'm having doubts about Jesus and whether He is who He says He is or not. I still believe He is, but my faith is being challenged. For starters, I'm not entirely convinced by many of the verses that are often cited to be foretelling of...

I agree with you, Seraph. I think that to say that the devil answers prayers gives him way more power than he has in the events of the universe. Scripture says that "no plan of GOD's can be thwarted" and while Satan and his minions can tempt and "prowls like the roaring lion" I ...

I'm not sure that it's biblically sound to say that blessings unbelievers recieve come from the devil or that he answers prayers. I think that that's giving the devil a little too much credit and it seems to imply that God not only doesn't, but doesn't even want to bless people who haven't given the...

Personally, I don't think God would be very good and holy if He did nothing but bless believers and curse unbelievers like an oppressive dictator or something. That aside, to my understanding God lets bad things happen to His followers because it strengthens us. We become stronger and smarter beings...

Interesting, I just recently finished reading 1984. In my opinion, I think its more written against totalitarian dictatorships than socialism. However, I've also had suspicions that it could also be a jab at religion. It's crossed my mind that the Party could represent religion and "Big Brother...

my question is, is there any true PROOF against an ageless universe? i have been involved in a debate with an atheist on facebook (i have a lot of free time, lol) and he consistently argues that although the universe as we know it had a beginning, the energy it contains is timeless. he cites the la...

People go to Heaven and Hell AFTER the ressurection. The ressurection brings the dead back to life so they can go to their final destinations.

I wanted to clear the air a bit.... I, and so far as I have always heard from all of the other Old Earth Creationists here, are quite willing for others to hold to a Young Earth. We may not agree with it, and are willing to deabte with it, but in the end, Salvation is not contingent on what you hol...
