True. As I think I stated, I don't know that we can know for sure what His purpose is. I'm simply looking for speculation and thoughts. Just because we can never understand God doesn't mean we shouldn't try. Kind of like we can never be perfect, but that doesn't give us license to run around the wor...

At the cost of also bringing in evil? It would seem to me that there is far more evil in this world at least than good, but then I'm also convinced the glass is empty... <shrug>. Point is you still do not explain the costs. It appears far more efficient for God to just exist happily as God without a...

It wasn't just love it was Fellowship. He wanted Fellowship with the Ones he Created. Read Genesis for example. He walked in the Garden with Adam and Eve calling out to them! :D But that doesn't explain why He created us. He enjoyed fellowship with humans, and still does I suppose (though that begi...

Re: Coming of Christ
Hi all you scientists -- 1. I believe that speaking in Tongues is speaking in parables -- based mainly on Matthew 13:13-17 amd Isaiah 28. This is clearly proveable by scriptural (if a person can accept only scripture) by a few verses. I'm so confused as to how this works. In Matthew 13 Jesus gives ...

Again I just feel like it had to be more than that. I mean it would have been much easier to create something that didn't require His son to die. He could love that something just as much. Why create love that requires pain when you can do so with out it. Sorry that's not a terribly good argument, b...

Re: Main source of existence!
What issue is so big that we cant even make the lord our number one, He is our main source of existence, Susan. The first issue that comes to my mind is that Devil guy. For some reason he's always trying to mess with us when we want to do things like that. In any case there is obviously a very larg...

Time is in God. We cannot grasp the concept of the end of time - That is eternity. The answer for us is that when we try to see the beginning, we see God. When we try to see the end, we see God again! Interesting... I always thought that God was outside of time...not time in God... I think the end ...

I don't expect you to know. I ... well not so much expect, but respectfully request that people think about it. I'm not sure that it is a question that can be answered, at least not with certainty, but it can be speculated upon. Also it seems to me that answering that question would answer, or lead ...

Re: Genesis, Creation and Astrophysics
1) The Universe appears to be expanding. 2) The Cosmic Microwave Background (and its polarisation) have been observed. 3) We see light from objects that we have measured geometrically to be significantly over 6600 light years away (assuming that the Universe is supposed to have been Created only 66...

It seems to me that the human species is in the infancy of what it is to be 'intelligent': you only have to read a newspaper to see that we are in many ways really quite stupid. Slight point I felt like throwing in: humans are quite stupid, I agree. However, I should also like to point out that phy...

What is God's purpose?
I just joined this deallie so I haven't had opportunity to explore everything yet. Hopefully I'm not questioning something that has already been answered. If so just link me in the right direction please. :) I was pondering one day and wondered what exactly God's purpose is. I don't want to bias any...
