    If Jesus isn't the only way to come to God...

    "The Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground" does not suggest cloning to me at all.

    If Jesus isn't the only way to come to God...

    You have not been confused by that and I presume that nobody else is going to be confused by it. But I am in the middle of a discussion with someone else and in that context also it is fine IMO to speak as I do. Haven't you noticed the many others on this forum who do the same thing, and...

    If Jesus isn't the only way to come to God...

    John 5: 21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. 22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not...

    If Jesus isn't the only way to come to God...

    Yes everyone is judged by God when they die but as Jesus said: John 5:22 Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son, Everyone has to get past the judgement of Jesus before they can get to the Father. So going through Jesus is the only way to the Father.

    These answers to the problem of evil are unsatisfactory to me

    We are moral beings and that means that God has given us the choice to go against His will and do evil. This is how evil came into the world with help from Satan who put the idea into Adam and Eve that God was not good and that He lied to them. God already had a way to deal with evil but as we...

    If Jesus isn't the only way to come to God...

    Everyone has to face and be judged by Jesus when they die. So Jesus, the Son is the only way to the Father.

    New Ageism Vs Christianity

    Jesus is the Son of God, the truth sent from the Father and the only way to the Father. Everyone is judged by Jesus and so has to go through Him to get to the Father. It's our relationship with Jesus and Him being our Lord which is important. We can believe other ideas which are outside of the...

    How can you justify the sheer complexity that evolution would have to evolve?

    If you can think of possible refutations of my argument then it can be refuted in the eyes of those who do not believe the argument. That does not mean that it is not good evidence in my view or that it has been refuted in my view. If there is no refutation then my belief is that it is, a...

    How can you justify the sheer complexity that evolution would have to evolve?

    You want me to use the definition you use, the one that makes it easy to say that evidence for God or the Bible etc, which I see as evidence, is not really evidence and so can be ignored by you.

    See post 1227.

    How can you justify the sheer complexity that evolution would have to evolve?

    Yes we can see things happening but not see the planner and designer, but this does not point to there being no designer of the system and planner who ensures the environments take the end products where He wanted them to go. If you say that no pre-planning or design is needed, that is a...

    How can you justify the sheer complexity that evolution would have to evolve?

    Emotions and feelings are useful epistemic tools for me.

    How can you justify the sheer complexity that evolution would have to evolve?

    From this site: Evidence - Wikipedia I got the following quotes. The guiding intuition within epistemology concerning the role of evidence is that it is what justifies beliefs. Evidence for a proposition is what supports the proposition. It is usually understood as an indication that the...

    Not even Christians believe the *edit* of creation

    It's not about changing the meaning, it is about using legitimate alternative meanings. When people did not know the science meaning A was chosen. When people learned the science they could see that meaning B was correct.

    Not even Christians believe the *edit* of creation

    But interestingly that seems to be what physicists who believe in the B theory of time believe.

    Not even Christians believe the *edit* of creation

    Talking about those things would be going too far off the topic of the OP.

    Not even Christians believe the *edit* of creation

    Are you saying that tomorrow and next year and what we will do etc have been in existence since God created all existence?
