Well if there truly is no need for salvation why would we inherently feel guilt? Even sometimes when people tell us not to feel guilty and we know logically that we shouldn't?
Furthermore, if Religion caused this guilt why do atheists and those who don't believe still feel it?
If one believes...
Because in reference to something in our natural world it has never been observed and cannot be shown, by A definition God is physically unobservable and transcends our world, which is exactly my point.
In one aspect you're speaking on the laws of nature in the other you're speaking on...
So saying that it would take something that transcended creation, something eternal, to create us (the definition of a God to be exact) is illogical? You'd have to provide me with some of your logic aside from gun+foot=shoot to convince me of that.
Comparatively the new theories on the...
The new testament never allowed any of those actions. And which texts were removed early? Also how do you know it was fraudulent? Jesus to this day is the most influential person to ever walk the planet, and is talked about 2000 years after his death, heck we even count our years by his death...
Right because now you're reverting to your, I'm assuming atheism? I apologize if that's an incorrect assumption. But that's exactly what is assumed by there being a God. It's logically unsound for you to flip flop between two premises.
And to your first point perfect love doesn't always mean...
Sure, I don't mean to infer they don't change at all, but the major principles have remained the same for thousands of years. Also we are able to compare it to early translations even now.
And I highly debate that they're secular when it's quoted "endowed by their creator with certain...
He never claimed to be all merciful, instead he claimed to be a perfect judge
He did, it's called heaven so I'll ask again if you think that world is perfect, would it be evil if a baby, who suffered at most 3 years, died then went to a perfect place for eternity? And again if he is ALL...
But America for example, has done this and it's the reason why we can even begin to debate our "rights", because they're not opinions they're unchanging standards
Not necessarily, being that a religious text doesn't change, you can immediately prove fraud by inconsistent actions.
If you'll surmise with me that heaven exists and God knows that even when a baby dies a horrible death he spends eternity in heaven, is it really an evil thing?
OK so if you're assuming he's all powerful shouldn't you gather from that that he is smarter than you and he is doing what's best for...
Right and if people are basing moral ideas off of scientific fraud it's impossible to determine until someone proves that fraud.
Sure, and that's why it's a terrible idea to base morals on science.
Well if God is the perfect judge and he judges that to be a good reason in both cases then you'll be fine, I don't believe I or anyone else can tell you the punishment on it and the Bible doesn't say we can either. We can provide axioms and be discerning to what I see to warn but we're not the...
Unfortunately this is probably the biggest untruth I've ever seen, most studies that get funded are done purely on political grounds, one of the most biased areas. On top of this scientific fraud is extremely prevalent and results are most always skewed to one viewpoint or another.
I believe...
Well I surely don't know what governments would think of a God sacrifice to atone for a crime and maybe that's the point, same with vicarious redemption. I also think that even you should understand that if you were to assume God existed committing a crime against him would surely deserve...
Unfortunately science is not a process that determines things for itself based on evidence and reason, it is full of human bias and human interpretation. Whereas the Bible yes can be interpreted but it can also be disputed if it is not followed, that's the problem with "science" is that there is...
I apologize in that I'm not familiar with his assertions that there is moral growth but there are countless defenses for why the Bible, specifically the new testament, is true over other religions, I can get into them of you'd like.
And they're saying that the morality that most closely...
God is prime mover, the uncaused first cause, that's the definition of a God, the alternative is an infinite regress, therefore a God is more plausible.
