    Morals

    Some of the world’s greatest humanitarians have been atheists. You don’t need to be “religious” to care about humanity and the future of the planet. Religion and humanitarianism have different motivators IMO. They may strive for the same outcome, but for different reasons. I agree with his...

    Isn't this cute?

    I rated this useful because I don’t think you understand that you yourself do what you complain about others doing to you. I think it best to put you on ignore from today because our interactions are almost always hostile. That accomplishes nothing. Bye Dan.....hope you make the best...

    A friend that took his life away

    God knows the difference between illness and wickedness. I too have lost a dear friend this way, and another is fighting a constant battle to keep living with frequent hospitalisations to overcome the urge to end the mental torment. God is very forgiving.....there are so many afflicted with the...

    Isn't this cute?

    And some imagine that having a foot in both camps does not obligate them to defend their Creator.....despite their claims to believe in him.....they don’t really believe a word he says. Does intellect override faith then? (Matthew 11:25) There is so much “preaching to the converted” on this...

    Where Did these Beliefs Come From?

    And there you have it....all the reasons why these non-canonical books were rejected as uninspired, because they completely contradict the rest of the scriptures.....but fully support Catholic doctrine. Prayers for the dead for the example, are completely unnecessary because the dead are no...

    Where Did these Beliefs Come From?

    A scriptural debate....????? with all that scripture you have posted......did I miss something? :shrug: I have explained all I am going to, to someone who purports to know scripture without quoting a single verse..... I am not interested in your opinions, and apparently you are not interested...

    Isn't this cute?

    Laughter is the best medicine.... We all need it right now....;) I’ll take it where I can get it.... Did I suggest that canines were not canines or that felines were not felines? Dogs cannot become equines and felines will never become canines.....when evolution can produce and name those...

    So challenge him....provide evidence that what he said regarding the Tuang child and the photographic evidence he produced is false..... I’m sick of the grumbling....put up or.....you know...... Prove him wrong......

    Where Did these Beliefs Come From?

    You seem to think that God cannot differentiate between what is his will....and what is the will of men....he can use even his enemies to accomplish his will, if he so chooses. He exiled his people in Babylon as a punishment for their disobedience, but there were still faithful ones among them...

    Where Did these Beliefs Come From?

    Small inconsequential differences may only be scribal or translation errors. If the Book had been written by God himself, that would be a different story......but he gave humans the privilege of being his secretaries. He inspired their thoughts but not their choice of words. If I did not...

    Isn't this cute?

    @A Vestigial Mote, that was one of the most creative posts I have ever read.....it gave me a good laugh, so thank you for that.... Rather than “spitting my lunch with froth on my mouth to tell you that "dogs are all the same kind", I’ll actually thank you again for demonstrating why evolution...

    Isn't this cute?

    Refute what I posted. You shoot the messenger but you cannot dismiss the photographs as faked unless you have counter evidence....do you? Are the photographs an accurate depiction of the reality? If not, then show us where the author of the pictures was in error. Give us pictures of the foramen...

    Where Did these Beliefs Come From?

    Please tell us what you believe this passage of an apocryphal book is saying.....

    Where Did these Beliefs Come From?

    They were not included in the canon because their content was out of harmony with the rest of scripture. The Bible is a library of 66 smaller books that all tell portions of the same story written over 1600 years by authors as diverse as.....a shepherd, farmer, tentmaker, fisherman, tax...

    Where Did these Beliefs Come From?

    Since I have no interest in apocryphal books, nor do I have to depend on them for a vision of 'heaven or hell', the Bible will suffice for any further responses. There is no "heaven or hell " scenario as opposite destinations for the human soul in any passage of the Bible. That is because the...

    Where Did these Beliefs Come From?

    And didn't I mention that scripture was to be included in your responses. Chapter and verse please....some ransom mention of Peter is not good enough, sorry. I have never heard of "the Apocalypse of Peter"....that was John's department.

    Isn't this cute?

    Related? You mean like Pakicetus is to a whale? :rolleyes: Funny, but some scientists will disagree with you.....why do some scientists disagree? Because "interpretation" of the "evidence" can be construed any way scientists want to interpret it. If it were a provable fact, there would be no...

    Where Did these Beliefs Come From?

    Now, getting back to the OP..... What about these.....? We have addressed some of the questions but these three are all related. Was there a teaching in the Bible where an immortal soul would depart from the body at death and go somewhere else? Is there such a place as Purgatory in the Bible...

    Isn't this cute?

    Yes.....I am pointing out that this is a very big fraud. Having read up on the findings of later research, I saw that this skull was identified by other scientists as a young ape......not related to humans. There are no intermediate species, because evolution has NO concrete proof for its...

    They never walk you through the verse .

    OK @John1.12....I’ll respond. Colossians 1:15 was mentioned, so what’s the beef? That Jesus is a creation of his God and Father? Who is the writer, and to whom is this letter addressed? “1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through God’s will, and Timothy our brother, 2 to the holy ones and...
