    Jesus is not God

    And now, there are TWO frogs. And now, there are TWO dogs. Now, there are TWO men. Now there are TWO Gods?

    Jesus is not God

    John 14:9…. *”Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?”* If this was meant literally, then Jesus is the Father? That would mean that Jesus was praying to...

    Is there any reason to reject the science of evolution, other than religious beliefs?

    Hey, my friend. No special meaning…. When my boy was younger, we (his mom & I ) would take him to hockey games in our hometown. I’m over 6’2”, & I’d wear a cowboy hat, boots, and a heavy-duty duster. My wife & son loved that imposing look! I guess I did, too. (It would turn heads. We didn’t...

    Jesus is not God

    Yes, “the way” to Whom? John 14:6 continues (NIV): “No one comes to the Father except through me.” And Who taught him that truth? At John 8:28,29, Jesus said, “I do nothing of my own initiative; but just as the Father taught me, I speak these things. 29 And the One who sent me is with me; he...

    You know Kenny, we may disagree on some of our theology — major points, even — but I do appreciate some of your posts! We can always be friendly with each other… I hope so. You’re my cousin. You’re a good guy, in my book. Just wanted to say that.

    Is there any reason to reject the science of evolution, other than religious beliefs?

    Yes, of course these things are mindless. But I was referencing the evolutionary mechanisms that have supposedly produced the machines within these diverse life forms, some with unique body plans, that we observe and have discovered in rock. And most of the fossilized body plans we have found...

    Jesus is not God

    I know many claiming to be Christian who are adulterers, and lying in business. When does one’s actions stop them from being a Christian? Paul’s counsel at 1 Corinthians 5, esp.vs.13, should be applied, but in mainstream Christendom, only the Catholics do it; and that is only for heresy...

    Jesus is not God

    To @jimb : the Bible, yes, but not every English translation (or any translation) says the same thing, do they? John 1:1 translated from Greek by Benjamin Wilson (a trinitarian): “In a beginning was the Word and the Word was with the God and a god was the Word.” Another trinitarian...

    Jesus is not God

    Romans 8:1?? I don’t read that. Adam, before he rebelled (or sinned), was a perfect man. As a son of God. (Luke 3:38) Since A&E only had children after they’d sinned, all their offspring, including us, inherited that imperfect condition. So Jesus, as a corresponding ransom, came to Earth as a...

    Is there any reason to reject the science of evolution, other than religious beliefs?

    I see no empirical evidence that mindless mechanisms can build the integrated structures we find in living things. Where’s the evidence, without resorting to philosophy?

    Jesus is not God

    Ok… 1. "Everyone on the side of the truth listens to me." 2. “This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of You, the only true God, and of the one whom You sent forth, Jesus Christ.” 3. “You give them something to eat.” 4. “Father, the hour has come; glorify your son so that he...

    Jesus is not God

    Is every bit of the Bible fictional, then? Because if some of it is fictional and some events are real, then who’s got the authority to judge which is real, and which isn’t? Just saying, “I don’t like what that says, so I’m not going to accept it”, is simply prejudicial bias, based on personal...

    Jesus is not God

    Yes. There’s a problem using this verse with a trinitarian though. It doesn't specifically say “God”; it says “the Father”, so they will say, “of course no one’s seen the Father; he not God by himself, though.” Or some other way to get around it.

    Jesus is not God

    With this reasoning, with it about making “man in our image”, if it means “identical” as you say, then the conclusion is, man is “identical” with God. And btw, God doesn’t talk to himself.

    Jesus is not God

    Show me where the Bible says “God in the flesh”, please. Because I can show you, twice, where the Bible says, “No one has ever seen God .” John 1:18 & 1 John 4:12. And a third place, where it’s implied (albeit within a more limited scope): 1 John 4:20… ‘If anyone says, “I love God,” and yet...

    By the way -- if you claim to be a Christian...

    You know I believe the same thing (I thought we would): death is the opposite of life! The Scripture you quoted, Eccl.9:5, says “The living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at at all.” Some say this means dead bodies … but the first part says, “the living know”… what ‘knows’...
