Evidence for God from Science

Umm.... Compare: The commonly held assumption that the Bible presents a single, straightforward sexual ethic that can be universally applied is not true. ( http://epistle.us/hbarticles/clobber2.html ) For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, ...

jerickson, again I'm glad that you took the time to look at the Epistle, and you're right: exposing yourself to other people's views IS a way to make your faith stronger (in secular subjects as well). But you really couldn't have picked worse articles to comment on. I regret ever posting the link to...

While I don't know what Shirtless' position with regard to the Bible (I think he does consider it inerrant?), seeing as he has come into Christianity from a secular worldview I think differences such as these are to be expected. Kurieuo, thanks for being civil, and thanks a bunch for not jumping to...

You seem to be operating from a limited definition of sin as "that which hurts others." That's not the definition; it's more like "that which God disapproves of." Oh granted! I'm just saying that if it causes harm, it's easier to see that it's wrong. If God disaproves of it, it'...

Most of us aren't experts in Greek or Hebrew. We have pointed you to articles from those who are, what more do you expect? Not "articles" plural, "article" singular. This article . The writer is no more of an expert on Hebrew or Greek than me. I'm afraid that article has been th...

Anyway, it's wonderful that you're trying to get through to your parents, especially your father who probably hates President Bush and respects Hamas, Actually he likes Bush, and there aren't any food laws in Bahai; it's kind of like Sikism. If she's an agnostic, why didn't she just try to teach yo...

See, the tax collectors collected much more that what was due to Ceasar. They also stole lots of money from people by lying about the size of the taxes. This is why they were unpopular. When Jesus saw them, he went completely against the flow and loved them. However, his attitude wasn't, "Stea...

jerickson, I'm glad that you have a view that's more anti-sin as opposed to anti-gay, but I think you're taking Matthew 5:28 way out of context. Paul was the greatest Apostle, a true Christian, and a feminist...that's right, I said feminist! Not in today's sense of feminism. Today's feminists want t...

InfiniteLoop, you have a respectable opinion, but I don't think anyone calling Paul a blasphemer should be taken seriously. Paul was the greatest Apostle, a true Christian, and a feminist...that's right, I said feminist! The Bible is against incest. I guess Abraham is roasting in Hell then. :wink: A...

No problem, Felgar! Thanks for hearing me out as well!

You're right it wasn't the lusts; what made God turn them over was their suppression of truth by their wickedness. What were they turned over to? Even greater wickedness - one of homosexuality. Nope. Again, look carefully: 28And so, since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or approve of Him or...

Are you blind? I did in my post about America being a Christian nation. My apologies :oops: . I never saw that post...where is it? I'm not blind BTW, I'm just not all-seeing. :wink: Christianity increased as the Western Roman Empire neared collapse, so you're wrong. You misunderstand; I meant in te...

That argument is quite a stretch. For starters, even assuming Paul IS talking about a cult to which he makes no mention (seems strange to me right off) I suppose I haven't established that Paul is talking about specific cults as much as I should have, and I should invest more time in it. But for no...

Women dressing up as men on wedding nights? Source? You give me all your sources, especially the one about (chuckle) 90% of America being Christian, and I'll give you mine. Don't you know that the Byzantine Empire coincided with Christianity becoming the official religion of both sides of the Roman...

Romans 1:18-31 18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God's invi...
