When I began my degree I decided to join the beliefs forum and what a shock I got. Atheists seem to be taking over all the forums that even remotely touch on anything spiritual.
While there were a couple of atheists who were reasonable and one could have a sensible debate with but most, they...
I think one of the reasons for a decline particularly in 'Western' societies is because children are not being told anything about God. Two of my daughter's are atheists and they have children, they tell me that they must make their own choice as to whether or not to believe in God. However...
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not...
I think Adam and Eve were well aware that they were disobeying God by eating the fruit. And God commanded him, “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”The next...
I don't think it is a good idea to ask Muslims why they believe their religion is the right one becasue they will give you all the 'rosy' answers.
On the other hand if you ask a Christian why it isn't the right religion they will give other 'rosy' answers.
I did my own research some years ago...
I don't think the amount of years one studies scripture makes any difference whether one recognises the truth in the scriptures. People can become fixated on one point and I notice you did not address points made in previous posts.
It is always suspect when posts aren't addressed but just come...
Yes you are quite right. Constantine wanted to appease all those who were fighting with him so he polluted the early Christian beliefes. The belief in a triad of gods was popular among many cultures hence the trinity becaame a doctrine of christianity, a false one I should add.
I don't think the...
I am unsure as to God exists, I really don't care if unicorns do or do not exist. I reflect a great deal on the question as to whether or not there is a creator and I always come back to the same questions. Are we really the result of some random chemical anomaly, the profundity of human...
God is not saying anything humanity does to each other is 'okay' He is saying because we rejected Him this is the way it is.
Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was altogether evil all the time. And Yahweh...
If one is a Christian they would not believe there are any other paths that would lead one to God.
Jesus Himself says in John 14:6, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” He is not a way, as in one of many; He is the way, as in the one and only...
I'm doing a degree in philosophy so I have come across this previously and although I am not sure if there is a God I have studied scripture and really it is because people don't understand what God is saying, the reason for His non-intervention and His promise for the future.
For the sake of...
I don't believe in karma in the way you mean other than we are all paying for Adam's sin. From a Christian view point I don't think many people really understand what the scriptures are saying.
Once Jesus died God is not involved in anything that happens here on Earth util the allotted time and...
I have read posts on this debate on this forum and others and nothing is ever resolved, both arguments have their strengths and weakenesses but the truth is we don't know, I'm certainly unsure, wish I wasn't.
However, I read something once that have always stayed with me and I often reflect on...
I think there are are a number of reasons why someone becomes an atheist.
The academic who relies on their own intellect so can not believe that there maybe a being who knows and understands more than them, they are always swayed by science.
Someone who has had parents who have been religious...
