Yep, pretty much.

Re: Shroud of Turin

Bippy, I've been reading your links as I have time. Great stuff! But given that the current Pope believes the Shroud to be authentic, and as the past C14 analysis has been said to have been taken from much more recent fibers (perhaps a repair after the fire), has there been any recent mention of pl...

Re: Interesting article about evolution distortion by scient

I don't see why this is really related to an "evolution issue." Even the guys saying the initial dating/identification was incorrect are saying they accept evolution. It just seems to be an issue of getting the timeline right. As far as I can tell, the guys saying the dating was wrong are...

Re: Total Depravity

This goes back to the notion AND interpretation of "original sin" as Augustine put it. All have sinned and ALL do Sin and the sin is THE sin - to believe we can do it apart from God, just as Adam and Eve did. They HAD God and knew him intimately and yet they WANTED and CHOOSE to do "i...

Re: Pretty Upset with Dr Phil Today

It is my view that people do NOT choose to be homosexual any more than they choose to be heterosexual.
What BOTH choose to do is engage in the sexual behaviour that they are "inclined" to.
The only choice a human has in regards to their sexuality is the choice of ACTIVITY.

Re: Message in Genesis Chapter 5

Interesting. The only thing is, most scholars think that the lineage is interrupted a little - as in, many people are in-between some of those generations when it says "son of" it often means "descendent of", except for those when it's explicit in the text that so-and-so is the ...

Re: spontaneous creation

Well, unless life can come to be on its own with NO external influence what so ever, then there will always be a "first cause". Unless some scientist somewhere makes a vacuum and, with no help from anything, life suddenly happens, then the question of How life came to be will never be answ...

Re: Alien Life

Look at it this way: The Wright brothers "flew" in 1903 and 66 years later Man lands on the moon. We already have space flight, we just don't have interplanetary flight because of the cost issue. Honestly, with world governments strapped for cash on the necessities of life, I don't want th...

Re: The Mark Of The Beast - Where does "faith alone" come in

The way I interpret these verses is that the faithful will be saved via their faith ( a faith that produces good works out of love and not for recompense) and those that have NOT KNOWN Christ for NO FAULT of thier own, will be judged on what they have done and WHY they have done it. The parable of t...

Re: Shroud of Turin

From what I have gathered: The skeptics have a series of objections that have ALL been dealt with in various forms, the scientific ones even by "peer reviewed" works. The one thing that can put the KAIBOSH on the shroud is it being duplicated with ALL characteristics, using methods that we...

Re: Salvation: A Difficult Matter

Hello fellow creatures of God, I am currently desperate for prayer, so I thought I'd post a comment and, hopefully, one or two of you will see it and lift me up in prayer. My prayer request is for the salvation of my family members (mother, father, and brother) and for a dear friend of mine whose n...

Re: Total Depravity

To me, the issue has always been the term "TOTAL depravity". Depravity is: the state or an instance of moral corruption And that is fine, but TOTAL depravity seems to imply TOTAL moral corruption and that seems to imply NO redeeming qualities whatsoever. For humans being made in the image ...

Re: Interesting article about evolution distortion by scient

The issue here seems TWO fold: On one hand you gave some saying that the bones are Neanderthal and as such they are 300K years old at the most. And then you have a group saying that are another DISTINCT group, non-related to humans but an ancestor of neandrerthal. The issue seems to be dating AND id...

Re: The Mark Of The Beast - Where does "faith alone" come in

If there was anyone that truly blasphemed against the HS, it would be Adam and Eve.
No two other humans EVER knew God's love AND presence like they did, not even the Apostles.
And yet.
How will it work for them?
