    Depression?

    Just because someone is resilient does not mean they are not depressed, just as someone being brave does not make them unable to feel fear. Depression is, as far as we know, genetic, and resilence does not cure depression, it simply lets you withstand some of it.

    Is Heaven Hell?

    Can you think of any way that an infinite afterlife can avoid becoming completely boring and repetive after a long enough period of time, essentially becoming a hell?

    Conscious but Inanimate

    If you learned that every inanimate object around you was conscious and felt pain if you damaged it, how would you react?

    Pelosi gets a new endorsement---- (:-

    Another example of someone with experience in politics: Andrew Johnson. This man ruined reconstruction, vetoed the Civil Rights Bill, and wrote “This is a country for white men, and by God, as long as I am President, it shall be a government for white men." Just because someone is experienced...

    Descriptors for Deity

    To me it means that God is the stuff of being, identity, and essence, that all things are part of His being, and therefore any statement about His ultimate nature must be made in the first person. We all are who we are, so therefore we participate in God's being.

    To Feel or Not to Feel

    Would you elaborate?

    To Feel or Not to Feel

    Do you think emotions are desirable/useful or simply a distraction/illusion? Do you think Humanity would improve if we stopped feeling?

    Descriptors for Deity

    If you believe in God, how would you best describe Him in one sentence? If you do not believe in God, how would describe your hypothetical idea of God in one sentence? For me, it would have to be I AM WHO I AM.

    The implications of reality being a simulation

    In my opinion, there are no real negative implications to living in a simulation. Being is still being, identity is still identity, I am who I am. Whether a consciousness is in a computer simulation or the "real" world it is still a consciousness, and all consciousness is intrinsically valuable...

    The Ressurection

    While I do believe that the document has more problems than I initially did, I was simply asking what about the document you disagree with with?

    The Ressurection

    Could you be more specific?

    The Ressurection

    Can anyone find a flaw in this person's argument (Five reasons to believe Jesus rose from the dead - Adam4d.com) I read it, and it seemed fairly sensible. I would be happy to hear some alternative opinions on the issue.

    Why Go to Church

    Church is not limited to a specific place or building. Any place where God's people meet together to teach and inspire each other serves the function of a church building.

    "7 Reasons God is a Poor Writer"

    I may actually agree with you. While I do believe that the bible does contains many great truths, I also believe that much of it may come from the imperfect humans who wrote it rather than God.

    Universalism, the Bible, and Christianity

    Again, how can you suffer in a state of unexistence? If google isn't enough for you, how about Merriam Webster? (Definition of CHAFF)

    Universalism, the Bible, and Christianity

    If God will not save sinners while they do not want saved (thus preserving their freewill), He has no alternative to punishing them for their sins, if He is truly just, while they reject being pardoned. The only alternative to being set free is staying imprisoned. The gift is the freedom from...

    Universalism, the Bible, and Christianity

    I didn't mean that Christians don't grow or make mistakes. I'm just saying that a person who "lives like the devil" without any sign of eventually changing is probably not truly saved. I can't really speak for anyone other than myself, but anything I (or any one I am very close too) every...

    Universalism, the Bible, and Christianity

    Consider the parable of the wheat and the chaff (Matthew 3). Google defines chaff as "the husks of corn or other seed separated by winnowing or threshing." The chaff comes from the exact same plant as the wheat. If the chaff is burned up, that would mean that God is destroying the unusable...

    Universalism, the Bible, and Christianity

    It is true that you must accept Jesus' gift to benefit from salvation. However, given enough time to repent in the refining fire of hell, you could propose that, eventually, everyone will accept the free gift. We have hope that God is able to humble even the most conceited heart, given enough...
