Evidence for God from Science

Well, the one thing that would make me doubt a second carbon 14 coming up with a medieval date is the Sudarium, which has a known history, at least back to about 614 , is that it matches up so many perfect points of congruity with key aspects on the Shroud . That can't be coincidence, and it means t...

Audie is the master at parodying (butchering? :lol: English and Western thought - and often, hilariously so. Unfortunately, my Chinese stops at Confucius, or chow mein and moo goo gai pan - which are probably not even terms used in China restaurants. But I hope she does realize how much we care abou...

Reading Jac is funny, sometimes, because his posts are sometimes lengthy enough that I blanch at something he mentions, and then it is ironed out more satisfactorily as he continues. I believe the WILL is the gatekeeper to what we are willing to honestly consider, as to what we can and do know, but ...

The "mere intellectual belief" is phrase LS adherents use to ridicule Biblical faith, see #14: http://www.freegracealliance.com/pdf/baiting.pdf Which is not what I was referring to. In fact, if you have been following my input, I have been very critical of the LS view. I was referring to ...

That verse has nothing to do with salvation. WHAT verse? I was referring to the video, in general - that is in contrasting what Yankee shows is ONLY necessary to salvation and what is not (that goes beyond it, like LS). But I was also contrasting the difference between the required simple, saving t...

So in other words, "mere intellectual belief" about those things? That's a pejorative phrase that has no basis in reality, and those who use it subject themselves to it. OK, now you're playing word games, which is unnecessary to the subject. I think you understand the difference I was poi...

Do you believe that intellectually? If so, you must not mean it.

Explain! You must believe what Scripture says He has done (died for our sins, was Resurrected) and Who He said He is. You think differently? Otherwise, your trust is not in the REAL Jesus.

I'm not the most patient sort, to watch a 45-minute video - but I gotta say I got a lot of of doing it! SoCal, that is a wonderful video. It so plainly explains the difference between trust in God and mere intellectual belief that Jesus is the Christ (like the demons have), or those who haven't trul...

Here's the reality: 1) Hillary is the Democratic candidate, unless #2 2) A Hillary criminal indictment kills her candidacy - which means another candidate - maybe or maybe not Bernie 3) Trump is the candidate, unless he can't get enough delegates - which brokers the convention, which leads to #4 4) ...

Jac: So yes, I agree with you that we shouldn't need all these pages or posts or scholarship. And, so, that's the thing, is it not - how could a plain, simple man, of little education, understand the message of what is required for salvation, if it was in anyway deeper and more complex than what su...

You don't have to have a masters or doctorate to understand what Scripture says faith entails. You do not have to have the perfect resources, and all that (and resources are good, study and scholarship are important). Scripture was not written so as that only scholars could understand its basic, sim...

Thanks Paul for digging up the info on Luigi Garlaschelli's supposed replication of how the Shroud might have been created. I find the following two outtakes very interesting: "The only 3-D photography available seems to be that of the “final reproduction” (second experiment), Fig.5, but there ...

OK, DB, so what questions do you ask yourself?

Classic!

Jac, I'd like to get that book - I'd enjoy some light, entertaining reading, for a change! :lol: I doubt any brief introduction to to lexical semantics will suffice a much deeper understanding of it. Because I know many here understand also the critical importance of not taking words out of their gi...
