Evidence for God from Science

Yeah, just going to leave Universalism alone. We are talking past one another. Just let Stu iron out his meaning if he returns. I don’t think his thoughts had anything what-so-ever to do with Universalism. That was your questioning contribution. Rick: In a nutshell, within universalism , Christianit...

Sorry, can't highlight partial post as I cannot edit.

Rick: Universalism doctrine says-Christ died for the sins of the world; therefore, ALL go to heaven. Biblical Christianity doctrine says-Christ died for the sins of the world; therefore, ALL WHO BELIEVE IN HIM go to heaven. I’m just speaking about doctrine. We’re in lock step here. Universalists, n...

Rickd: In a nutshell, within universalism, is the belief that Christ’s sacrifice atones for all people, regardless of whether or not they believe in him. Of course, that’s not biblical Christianity. I didn’t get Stu saying anything other than if all men go to heaven regardless then why the sacrific...

Rickd In a nutshell, within universalism, is the belief that Christ’s sacrifice atones for all people, regardless of whether or not they believe in him. Of course, that’s not biblical Christianity. what is biblical Christianity if not directly from the bible ? I John 2:1-2: My little children, I am...

Ken: So it appears God has a face, a hand, and a back side That is exactly correct Ken, He appears to ... I have included an article that shows many, even all the ways Go has manifested himself to man. He is pure spirit capable of anything, and usually does make the effort to keep us calm in his pre...

How about being created in the image of God? No other creature is. If being created in the image of God is what makes us superior/special compared to animals, suppose we discovered intelligent life on a distant planet, and they looked much different from us; does this mean we are entitled to treat ...

K: So then what gives human life value that we ought to respect it? This Easter, keeping most in mind the Resurrection, Christ’s then and our own soon enough … the answer for us, IMO is clear... The thing that makes human beings exceedingly valuable and thereby due all our concerted respect is our S...

When I pray, it is ALWAYS to God. I was praying, asking for guidance about my faith, about Marys role, how I feel about Catholicism. Now, it could be argued that subconcsiously I am willing myself to get a "sign" but I felt something. I have felt a prescence before, I trust my Lord and I ...

philip: My belief, and while not explicit, is there is good Scriptural evidence to suggest that children before an understanding of the Gospel, of their sin, of God's directive to believe/have faith in Jesus, cannot do these things. And so God doesn't demand of children (or the severely mentally ha...

philip: infants don't understand their sin, don't understand or know the Gospel, can't choose to have faith in what they do not yet know, nor have the ability to respond to. So baptizing an infant - whether with a sprinkle or by being tossed in a pool - will not save that child. so two questions he...

philip: Essential, in what way have I personally attacked Byblos? philip, you read way too much into this. I mean only that your tone in that post was, imo, harsh. and harshness doesn't really fit in the mold of love, again imho. apologies if this feels thin skinned but you misinterpreted my intent...

So, ignore the links, if you don't care/if you've already made up your mind.

hasn't everybody ? at this point ?

you may love Byblos, as you say, but you sure got a harsh way of talkin it.

Second, you should pull the plank out of your own eye first

i am absolutely clueless why you would write this ... but your obviously upset and truly, i've had enough.

Okay, re reading this thread and thinking things through. I am happy to refer to, and think of, Mary as the Mother of God. … imo, this is good :D Some thoughts though.. was she really a virgin? A case can be made biblically, Luke 1:27 Luke 1:34 Isaiah 7:14 I have always said Christ was borne of Mar...
