Evidence for God from Science

Hi BW. You wrote, Now moving on --- In regards to unity of the faith - what unity do you speak of? - Agreement with Armstrongism, Jehovah Witnessness, Christdephiladelphian, Rev Moon, Mormonism, and a host of other views. Under the guise of unity do you mean we should all embrace the doctrines that ...

One of the things I try to stress as a Christian on this forum and others I post at, is that the Christian faith has to be united in thought and judgement. When those who are looking for the truth come across a fractured Christian community, split into denominations, it will more often than not turn...

Catherine wrote My studies of the sciptures show me clearly that just as we did not exist before we were conceived, I respectfully disagree but I will use scripture to back up where I'm coming from. This is a good thread by the way :ebiggrin: Job 38:4, Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of ...

Hi Catherine. I'll use scripture and briefly explain what I believe scripture is actually illustrating. It may be oversimplified but I hope it helps to answer your questions. Hb 9:27, And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Men is speaking of mortals in physical, fl...

Hi Catherine. When Jesus Christ returns to the earth, He returns with all those who have died before us, the good, the bad and the ugly. When He returns, everyone who is alive on the planet physically dies and enters their spiritual body. 1Cor 15:52, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the l...

As a Christian, I know God is a God of love. Why did God create all things? Rev 4:11, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. (KJV) God created all things for His pleasure. I do not believe in a...

One of the reasons I stick to the KJV and the Strongs's is to distinguish what can be easily overlooked in the English. Here's an example: Hb 1:2, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (KJV) Hb 11:3, Through fai...

I will explain my reasoning on why I believe the earth is ancient, using scripture to the best of my knowledge. Gen1:1, In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. (KJV) 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upo...

The word "science" is written only two times in the entire Bible. Dan 1:4, Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might ...

Hi Canuckster. Well, I put up on a previous post that I was raised as a Roman Catholic. However, I moved away from the Catholic faith many years ago, because I didn't learn anything. I learned a lot about different feasts and saints days but the Word was sort of an enigma and it was almost assumed t...

Hey Canuckster and Frank, I can tell that you are both passionate, intelligent Christians. And I know you find the Bible fascinating. I knew that before I joined the forum, because I read a lot of your posts on previous forums. I would have to say I'm a yes or no Chistian. I used to find the Bible c...

Hi Canuckster. I belong to a Bible teaching church, which I have been a member of for the last fifteen years. We learn the Bible line by line based on Isa 28:10, 13. I had no source, other than using the Bible to interpret itself. Our members are diligent students. We are untited in understanding wi...

I know this is not the right thread to place this in but in all due respect, I do not believe in the 'Rapture Theory." Frank wrote: I sometimes think I would like the rapture to happen right now. But then I think about all of those people who will have to go through the tribulation period. The ...

With all respect, I never believed in the Bible code. I find it hard to believe that God would put things in scripture that we as learners would have to do a word search for, in order to find the true meanings. I do understand the acrostics found in scripture however, for example the sacred name of ...

Well, it's been 2000 human years, but only 2 of God's days, if you believe that a day with the LORD is a thousand human years as Psalm 90:4, and 2Pet 3:8 attest to. When Paul and John say the time is near or short, I believe the context of the time period they are speaking in are the LORD's days and...
