Once again you have failed to answer the question I have asked. Instead you have asked another question. In answer to your question, I would write your hypothetical letter to Yahweh. Of course Yahweh...
-
My understanding of the definition of the Trinity (the question at hand which you failed to address) is that there is One God. The Father is God. The Son is God. The Spirit is God. All three are the...
-
You have shown from Scripture that Jesus is not the Father and the Father is not Jesus, but that was not the question. I assume from your choices of Scripture to address the question of the Trinity...

That if molecules to man evolution is true, and there is no God who has communicated with man, then man determines truth and truth is whatever you make it.

What are good works? Who decides what is good?

Fred,
So, you have made the choice, and no, I did not mean that you, but rather, Scott has to make the choice. You did not understand how I could respond to Scott's question that if Jesus...
-
Scott and Fred,
If Jesus truly believed the things he taught, and they were not true (of course I believe they were true), then that would make Jesus a lunatic. Jesus taught that he lived before...
-
No, it would not make him a liar, it would make him a lunatic.

If the bible is true, than, yes you are wrong. If by "heathen" you mean "unbeliever", then yes you are a "heathen". If by "heathen" you mean something derogatory, the no you are not a "heathen".

According to the bible, Jesus existed before his incarnation, in fact it was He who created everything that is. The promise of his coming and his redemptive work for all of mankind first occurs in...
-
You have just acknowledged it. But, be that as it may, we shall, I believe, both live in peace and with respect towards one another from here on out. Agreed?
-
Now I can accept that, despite all the name calling directed my way.
-
While I agree with you, rideout, your statement is too simplistic. You say that Jeus is the only answer, but what is the question? You say I must accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior, but you do not...
-
Scott,
And that is exactly what I have been saying as well. I do not disrespect your right to believe whatever you believe. I don't... honest. Never have.
Perhaps we should discuss the...
-
Fred,
You are the first to understand the problem of this discussion. It is in the understanding of what "respect" really means. There is a huge difference between respect for a persons right to...
-
Scott, et al,
I am not going to respond to by quoting you this time. I have, and no doubt you have as well, been quoted out of context many times, and I don't want to continue it here. It has...

How do you know that hell doesn't exist?
How do you know that belief in God is enough? Who determines this?
How do you know that doing right in the world is all that is needed? Who determines...
-
Good question, and, to be honest, I don't know why some animals, both past and present, are so large. However, I do know that the average size of a dinosaur was that of a sheep, and that ain't all...
-
Scott, I feel as though my communication skills must be lacking, for you clearly do not understand me. I respect you Scott. I respect your right to believe anything you wish. If, however, your...

Curlyben, Need Karma, Orange, CaptainForest, and Scott Gem,
Why is it that you reject my beliefs out of hand and them call me narrow minded and bigotted? Christianity is a real to me as is the...
-
Orange,
I believe that you have made a reasonable statement even though I do not entirely agree with it. Where I don't agree with it is the statement "I believe in respecting the beliefs of...
-
If you cannot respect that, then you cannot respect my beliefs and you are guilty of practicing what you claim to fight. I believe that the bible is the inspired word of God and that if one rejects...
-
Scott,
So what you are saying is that you are tolerant of every other viewpoint but my viewpoint which says that your viewpoint is wrong. Isn't that being just as intolerant and narrowminded? ...
-
I wonder what you mean by "respect"? If you mean "respect one's right to believe", then I quite agree with you. If you mean "respect what one believes", then I could not disagree more.
If you...

Moon's book is called Divine Principles. It teaches that Jesus came to obtain salvation for mankind, but failed, and that Moon himself is the new messiah sent to fix Jesus' screw ups. If the bible...
-
Well Tommy, I certainly understand your frustration with "religion", and especially Catholicism in light of the continuing sexual preditor scandals within that religion. But, what exactly do you...
-
Fred,
You are a wonderful brother, and I am proud to call you such!
Exegesis need not be dependent upon others (although much is to be gained through some of their wisdom and study), but is...
-
Dear animeluver06,
I previously answered this post by saying that the bible has the answers you seek and then asked you to email my ministry directly to discuss this. I said that this would avoid...
-
-
Thanks, Tommy, but I already knew the definition as I'm sure does acura.
-
That's an awful lot of eisegesis, arcura.
-
Oh, but I do have a sense of humor... I laugh at myself for hitting the wrong button and responding to your post instead of the preceding one as I had intended. You will note that I went back and...
-
The bible has the answer you need. If you are interested in discussing this one on one (so as to eliminate all the background noise of those who reject the bible), please go to the website:...
-
I stand for the authority of the Scripture (Bible). In so far as I follow the scripture my "spirituality" (my walk with God) is on the right path.

Apes are not evolving into humans because evolution is not true. Evolution says that one "kind" evolves into another "kind." That is not possible and has never been observed in real science.
In...

I think much of the redaction is by Moses himself, although Joshua may well have completed the book. Most of Genesis 1 -11 would have been handed down from one generation to the next having been...

The child who had to leave the class room is a Jehovah's Witness.

The reason the days of creation are important, and, in fact, hills upon which modern Christianity is dying upon, is the reason theologians have disregarded the plain language of Scripture to lengthen...

A great site you might want to check out is www.answersingenesis.com, also check out the Institute for Creation Research on line.
Books:
"The Genesis Record" by Henry M. Morris

Joe,
It is not quite clear, Joe, but it is incorrect. God created everything, including the 24 hour day. It is quite reasonable to understand that when God, who created the day (yom), uses the...

orange,
I must have missed this post. Sorry I didn't answer you sooner. Actually the range of homology (similarity) in DNA between humans and chimps have been quoted as being 97%, 98%, or even...

James 1:13
Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone."

-
JH,
I'm not sure what you're trying to say here, but...
The reason theologians have tried to lengthened the "days" in Genesis one is to try and "fit" millions of years into the bible. They...
-
Jduke,
I am glad to read that you agree with me (you can't be all bad!. that's a joke). I will be writing some articles on this subject and sending them out to the Oil and Wine E-mail list. If...
-
Jduke,
Christianity is based on the biblical account. Most Christians don't realize, in my humble opinion, that the whole of the bible rests on the foundation of Genesis 1-11. Humanism, which has...
-
Do you accept the bible as the word of God?
You said time is a man made concept. I, along with the bible, disagree. Time is a creation of God.
-
Yes, you could say the same thing, and in my childhood that would have been true. However, I have done quite a little study of the bible and now base that opinion on more that just pure faith...
-
I will comment on number 3. God does indeed exist outside of time, but He is the One who created time! "A day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years is like a day" is a statement that God...
