A few things you must have missed in Sunday school.
1. The promise that Jesus would come along to right all men's wrongs in a permanent sense is give right at the beginning of the bible. Where is says that because of Eve's fall Satan would bruise Christ's heal (on the cross) but Christ would...
I appreciate your approval of my post. Would you like to discuss how salvation in the OT was just as connected to what Christ would do much later as it has been since he appeared in history?
You have a few good questions here but you ought to be satisfied with the straightforward answers I can provide in response. Please read this carefully as few questions like yours come with solutions this comprehensive and elegant. No other faith even comes close. For example Allah simply hand...
Keep in mind that while my point was silly I only devoted a few sentences to it where as you have a good start on a book. My point was true but not worthy of spending this much time on. As I stated in my previous response why don't you pick a new and more meaningful discussion we can have. I...
I never meant to waste this much time on the hair I was splitting with you.
What I was talking about was a semantic technicality not some deep and meaningful issue worthy of the amount of time we are spending on it. Let me make my point one more time then we can move on to something a bit more...
But each part of a statement would be 100% true or 100% false. Lets say that I said the sun is spherical in shape and is just a big orange. One statement, two parts. One part is 100% true, the other 100% false. Your confusing parts with degrees. No two statements can both be true and false in...
Ok, see we agree here.
Ok here we disagree and I will cover this at the end of the post.
Here we agree again but it doesn't sound like you agree with your self. You previously seemed to suggest God could not chose to make a universe at some point in the past.
You are right that science is...
I happen to be free for the next hour or so, so I will give you one chance. Pick any thread other than this one and type a post challenging me and I will respond to it. I have had far more than enough of this thread and am done with it. Keep it up in this thread and I am going right back to...
There is a lot of information concerning creation and the nature of the universe. Before I start down what will inevitably be a long road (or discussion) let me make sure I understand what your positions are.
Please tell me what you believe concerning the following.
1. Do you believe God is...
You suggested that truth comes in levels, I was pointing out that it does not. When I say that what we refer to as the moon exists, that statement is either 100% true or 100% false. There is no in between.
I disagree with what you said about the bible but it has nothing to do with what I said...
Truth itself is not an argument. It is what is called a properly basic belief concerning something. Truth is what is used to make an argument.
Correct, as long as people deny the belief in God then what God has to say is not persuasive to them. Christians do care about what God has said but...
I agree that compared with each other that the spirit is much more important than the flesh but that does not necessary make the flesh worthless.
I am pretty much on board with what your saying here.
Here I have to disagree. Time as we know it is called an unbounded finite. This means that it...
It is hard to say on this one.
1. The flesh definitely ends up on the refuse pile of this life.
But
2. What we do in the flesh echo's for us and others throughout time from now onward.
3. We (like) Christ will be given a perfect body if we are resurrected into heaven.
So I am not sure it is...
It is not that clear a choice.
1. To begin with I have no idea how you would evaluate human happiness to begin with.
2. Like your idea that I value or devalue a behavior I don't even know what that really means. I sure don't know what units of measurement to use.
3. For another reason, many of...
Please skip to the bottom of the post before responding if you would.
I thought that you already agreed that we had seen God on earth in Christ Jesus, your trying to walk a fine line. If Jesus had all of God's attributes then he lacks nothing to make him God.
This is actually a trigonometric...
If you look up the term proper biblical exegesis you will find all manner at arriving at reliable biblical truths even where translations may differ somewhat. Starting with going back to the original Hebrew, Aramaic, or koine Greek.
Pay close attention because countless biblical confusions are...
