    Where Did these Beliefs Come From?

    Congrats.....only one wrong....:D The cross was a religious symbol in non-Christian religions long before Jesus walked the earth. It can be traced back to Babylon. Egypt's ankh cross was "the symbol of life" representing the male and female reproductive parts.... The cross crept into...

    Where Did these Beliefs Come From?

    If you do not know by now that JW's do not believe that Jesus is God, then I fear you have not read a thing written to you.....please read before you post....it shows that at least you have attempted to understand what the thread is all about. Jesus never claimed to be God nor did he solicit...

    An Amusing Quote About the Origin of the Universe and the God of the Gaps

    But unless you trust that their scientific methodology is superior, how will you objectively evaluate their findings? Its a measuring rod.....but how do we measure the rod itself, to determine its accuracy? IMV, philosophy has no place in Christianity.....it is a Greek intrusion that only...

    Dare to Diverge

    It sounds like the environment you left was pretty toxic.....can I assume that it was toxic 'Christianity' that you left behind?....and if so good for you. Everyone is entitled to choose their own path and not have it forced on them with others guilt-tripping and shaming them into submission...

    Election (the Calvinist sort)

    The concept of "election" is scriptural. Some are chosen from among mankind to go to heaven for a specific purpose.....that is to rule with Christ as "kings and priests" in his Kingdom. They are chosen by God, not men, so their election has nothing to do with any earthly qualifications....they...

    Who knows about the "Taung child" fossil?

    The only way they have to determine bi-pedalism is by examining the foramen magnum (image below) which in humans is placed differently to apes who walk on all four limbs. But the problem is, there was no foramen magnum ever examined because this specimen was apparently missing this vital part...

    Where Did these Beliefs Come From?

    If the command by God as the first two of his Ten most important Commandments for his worshippers was “You must have no other gods but me” and “do not make for yourself a graven image of anything” and "do not bow down to them"....(Exodus 20:3-5) then to do both is somewhat of a problem for...

    An Amusing Quote About the Origin of the Universe and the God of the Gaps

    Hello again... I guess it depends on which pot you are marinating in.....being immersed in one pot or the other does not give people a real opportunity to make an informed decision, because of being immersed in only one mind set. Objectivity is almost non-existent in this issue. “Explanations”...

    An Amusing Quote About the Origin of the Universe and the God of the Gaps

    My study of the Bible has resulted in an alternative view of creation that blends the Genesis account with known (as opposed to theoretical ) science. I have no need to dismiss real and provable science, or the Bible’s simplified account of creation, because they are quite compatible IMO. If God...

    An Amusing Quote About the Origin of the Universe and the God of the Gaps

    Hello and welcome. I hope you enjoy your time here. It would be beneficial if you actually had a subtitle for your username, as I have no idea how to pronounce..... Φᅠᅠ :p If I may just give my thoughts on this point.... “Explaining stuff” is what apologetics is all about.....justification...

    Where Did these Beliefs Come From?

    Now let's examine these two....also related questions. "Should images be used in worship?" Since the Jews were forbidden to use images of "anything" in their worship, the Christians would have followed that law because, according to scripture, idolatry was one of God's pet hates. (Exodus...

    Where Did these Beliefs Come From?

    Those who try to justify this doctrine do not understand how insulting it is to God. It is a clear breach of the first Commandment (Exodus 20:3)....they have put another "god" in place of the Father, who was the God of Jesus Christ, before and after his earthly mission. Those whom Jesus...

    Free will

    Free will is an interesting topic, especially for Christians. As a Bible believer, I see in Genesis that “free will” was not absolutely free....it came with conditions and parameters. I also understand why this is necessary because free will exercised in a selfish way can come at a great cost to...

    What kind of proof can change people’s minds? About God.

    I didn't say that God has not chosen you....I said if we cannot follow God's instructions, but choose to do things "our own way", then I am saying that such a person will not be chosen for a place in his kingdom.... Its about qualifying...but only if you want what he is offering..... To...

    Isn't this cute?

    Not a small furry four legged land dweller the size of a dog. My guess is that they were probably whales......since all living things reproduce according to their "kinds", ancestors of whales, had to be whales.....isn't that logical? When was an equine not an equine...or a canine not a canine...

    I found a few religions that believe when you die.Your spirit ceases to be.

    Yes......wild duck and hounds do not have a soul and neither do we, according to the Bible. There was no such belief in ancient Hebrew scripture. @Frank Goad...we have been over and over this, and yet you still want the Bible to say what you want to hear. I agree with @RabbiO the KJV is not a...

    Isn't this cute?

    There are a wide variety of mammals in the world, from Ardvarks to Zebras......to relate them all to a common ancestor is beyond the capability of science to even imagine, let alone trying to establish through "evidence", that any of it actually happened with any certainty. The only thing...

    What kind of proof can change people’s minds? About God.

    And what if he has evaluated each one of us to determine what kind of people we are at heart? And what if he is looking for people with a certain personality to become citizens of his incoming kingdom....(a governmental arrangement that I believe, will replace all failed human rulership on this...

    Isn't this cute?

    Who said that all mammals must be related? That is an assumption, not a probable fact. Many different creatures are mammals....Australia has several that are difficult for scientists to figure out....especially the monotremes. Adaptation does not create new “kinds”....it creates new varieties...

    Where Did these Beliefs Come From?

    What is accomplished by praying for those who are “sleeping” in death and whom Jesus will resurrect when his kingdom rules this earth? (John 5:28-29) They are no longer alive but in an unconscious condition, waiting for their lives to be restored in the “new earth” to come. (2 Peter 3:13) There...
