AG claims in their profile to be a christian and posted in a Philosophical debate thread about Natural Theology such profound statements as:
After considering Rom 1:20 " For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and Divine Nature, have been clearly seen...
well, your original assessment of the point I was tring to make was :
To which Divine responded
to which you did not seem to negate so my only logical conclusion was that you had assessed that I was trying to state that those who live the homosexual lifestyle were simply drawing negative...
Anything that I feel the need to state will be clearly stated. What I probably should've clarified is that anything can not be stated that might oppose this celebratory attitude is without an overzealous backlash that usually involves selective hearing/reading that usually include superimposing...
It would be helpful if you clarified what about the statement you quoted, you didin't quite understand and why you didn't understand it.
One wonders how one can make comments about a statement that they claim to not understand.
BTW, what is the "norm"? Does having brown hair make me different...
It seems almost as if there is an effort not just for toleration or acceptance, because there are people who consider any sexuality outside of traditional hetrosexuality a sin who have no problem tolerating and/or accepting people as human beings despite the fact that they believe that those...
Can you please explain why in detail? BTW For you to need a separate thread for explaining your own personal interpretatin of "christianity" says quite a bit in itself.

Being as how the OP (which, by the way, I posted) quoted two Christain Apologetics books affirming Natural Theology, I don't see how it is a detraction at all.

In a physical sense, ofcourse not, But boy can this go in all sorts of different directions which I just don't have the time for right now, sorry.

Can you please explain why in detail? You must have a serious problem with 1Pet. 3:15 then.
I am curious as to which "christian creeds" you are reffering to. Even if you affirmed genuine Christian creeds, that does not necessarily make you a "christian" (James 2:19). The funniest thing is that...
Have you read books like "The Case for Faith: or "The Case for Creation" by Lee Strobel? Or do you know the Philosophical history of Science? I find it very suprising for one who claims to be a "Christian" can make such statements. It makes me wonder if you truly know the history of...
The first thing you might want to remember is that the term "natural theology" was originally and is still considered to this day to be a term describing a Christian theology. With that being noted along with the previous definition I gave at the beginning of this thread
it seems to logically...
In "Calvinism", the word "fate" is replaced with the word "predestined". The phonetic rendition of the Greek word in the NT of the Bible (Eph. 1:11, etc.) is pro-orizo. Rather than giving an idea that we are "robots" or "puppets", the definition for this word is "pre set/established boundaries"...
I've seen both and and must confess that I liked them very much. I rented the second one last night and while I very much liked it, I sat through the movie wondering what I would do given the same situations. Take for example, I wonder if I had gotten both my hands caught in the box that I knew...
Well, as a Christian, I would have to agree that we can not grasp "divine intent", But there is some intent of the Divine revealed in the Bible. With that being noted, one thing that tickles my brain about natural theology/general revelation is how it seems like we would not be able to properly...
Very well written. The first thing that comes to mind that I would like to add to this list you have provided, at least from what I have read about most other philosophies, is conistency, which is going to have to mean less conveience. But that is all I will state for the time being...
Despite the title, this is very much a philosophical issue.
In his book, "Defending Your Faith", R.C. Sproul defines Natural Theology as "discourse about God informed by our knowledge of nature"
Bakers Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics (Norman Geisler) defines it as "The study of God...
Well, due to mostly financial variables I had to let the ISP I was using go. But, as I am sure some of you are excited to discover (hehehe), "I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaack". I'm curious to see what has transpired since my depature and once again looking foward to some more interesting discussions. If it...
While I do agree with this for the simple fact that Biblically,philosophically,and mere history shows us that forced faith never works, unfortunately being as how I am an ex-felon who can't even vote so my impact would probably be minimal at best. I guess this is my attempt at impacting what I...
Well, Pah, I must confess that I couldn't agree more with you. You'd be suprised at the special view of politics you will get through an incarceration in your local prison. Despite how "paranoid" this article may come across, It's really no suprise to me at all.
