    Questions that believers cannot answer

    I believe that Evil is a negative entity. Not an entity at all, in fact. I see it as the absence or privation of good. Evil has no substance; unlike good, it is insubstantial

    Questions that believers cannot answer

    I agree with you. We would be puppets on a string.

    Questions that believers cannot answer

    The Problem of Evil A perfectly powerful being can prevent any evil. A perfectly good being will prevent evil as far as he can. God is perfectly powerful and good. So, if a perfectly powerful and good God exists, there will be no evil. There is evil. Therefore, God doesn’t exist.

    Questions that believers cannot answer

    Ah! In that case, I'm sorry. Can you understand that it 'sounded' like a claim (Jesus is NOT God), especially with the capitalization? No, the answer is that you, not Wildswanderer, see yourself as the paragon of rationality in this forum. Maybe it'd time for you to ask yourself if your...

    Questions that believers cannot answer

    Not again, Tb! I have tried to help you with this irrational thinking process of yours in the past. Let's try again. You have just made a claim ("Jesus is NOT God"). May we see the evidence on which you base this claim of yours? Lovely example of ...... ...........which logically fallacy? ;)

    Who Was Baha’u’llah, and How Can We Evaluate His Claims?

    Why? You would have to ask Tb that question.

    Who Was Baha’u’llah, and How Can We Evaluate His Claims?

    Yes, I agree. But perhaps other Baha'is would like to burn other Scriptures. Maybe Tb is the only one on this forum willing to admit it.

    Who Was Baha’u’llah, and How Can We Evaluate His Claims?

    I was responding to your: "Also, most believers are not willing to bend and try to see the atheist side of things." The object of that sentence is 'most believers', not 'atheists'. Maybe read more carefully? And my response was: "Why not just do what you said you wanted to do and burn their...

    Who Was Baha’u’llah, and How Can We Evaluate His Claims?

    I did not say you did. I was responding to this: "The reason that we see religionists complaining about their beliefs being criticized is because they are the ones being criticized by atheists. If believers criticized atheists the way atheists criticized believers then atheists would be...

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    Has it ever crossed your mind, joelr, even for a second or two, that what A. considers to be reasonable evidence to warrant belief may be different from what B.considers to be reasonable evidence to warrant belief?

    Can humans truly understand God?

    I believe that when God draws us to Himself, He will fill our being with all we need to be truly ourselves and therefore truly His.

    Who Was Baha’u’llah, and How Can We Evaluate His Claims?

    Thank you. I thought not. The words in bold are an assumption. You are assuming that your belief that MrB was the Representative of God among men is justified true belief. It's really not, is it? ;) And so your conclusion ("that means He had the authority to interpret those records") is...

    Who Was Baha’u’llah, and How Can We Evaluate His Claims?

    But some of your beliefs (eg that God exists) you say that you know. How do you decide what you can say with certainty that you 'know', in contrast with what you believe?

    Who Was Baha’u’llah, and How Can We Evaluate His Claims?

    Is this something you 'know' or something you believe?

    Who Was Baha’u’llah, and How Can We Evaluate His Claims?

    Right. So Mr B. did not say that he had authority to interpret those records.

    Who Was Baha’u’llah, and How Can We Evaluate His Claims?

    This is circular reasoning,TransmutingSoul.

    Who Was Baha’u’llah, and How Can We Evaluate His Claims?

    No problem here, Tb. You said that only MrB had authority to interpret those records. Then you said that MrB said that He had the authority to interpret those records. Is it "You said" or "MrB. said"?

    Who Was Baha’u’llah, and How Can We Evaluate His Claims?

    An opinion is not necessarily based upon fact or knowledge. It is my opinion that there is a teapot orbiting the moon. A belief can be based on facts. I believe that the earth is an ellipsoid.
