    How is Jesus serving as High Priest to God if he is God?

    The most accurate description of the Word who became Christ -the Son of the Father is probably that he is God's first "self-replication". Much in the bible actually indicates that God.... get ready for it... evolved (in the broadest sense of the word ....Alpha and Omega... which was, is and is...

    Is knowledge of God natural knowledge?

    Rom1;19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made......... Heb 11:3Through faith we understand that the worlds were...

    Why did God create homosexuality?

    The law was given with an ideal state of the creation in mind. Consider the law about adultery. Angels are not "given in marriage" because they are not in the same state as humans -so gender issues do not apply -and marriage is until death because we will no longer be human later. Biblically...

    Dealing with embarrassing passages in the Bible

    no -just that it can be a separate issue

    Dealing with embarrassing passages in the Bible

    Gen 1:29And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing...

    Dealing with embarrassing passages in the Bible

    o_O So like if Martians made you a slave but then you had a crush on one of them you could not consent to Martian mookie??

    Dealing with embarrassing passages in the Bible

    No. You can be a slave and consent to sex at the same time. Clean and unclean foods -which changed over time. According to scripture, even animals will soon be vegetarian or similar -as will man. No flesh in Eden, all flesh after, only some flesh with Deuteronomy/Leviticus, etc. -and no flesh...

    Dealing with embarrassing passages in the Bible

    You don't really know the exact circumstances with Hagar, etc.. Scripture does not include every detail. She may have even had a thing for him -been willing -not have seen it as objectionable due to customs/conditions of the day -never know. Genocide? How about Israel asking God if they should...

    Do only 144,000 go to heaven?

    First... none really "go to heaven" -they inherit the earth -and then the entire creation. As for the 144,000, they are simply those who are called specifically to serve God at a specific time. Just after those servants are mentioned, many more are mentioned as being saved out of the...

    Does evolution have a purpose?

    One day I was looking at the periodic table -and realized it looked like a set of toy blocks. These extremely complex "element" blocks came into existence by being arranged from that which already existed (but we rarely try to look back beyond/before the initiation of the physical universe or...

    Alpaca and Llama Therapy

    It seems innocent enough -but don't be fooled -this is how the alpacalypse starts

    Evolution of God Logical/Necessary? Initial Environment/Processes.

    Not quite sure what you mean about decisions. Perhaps you could explain how a computer can make a decision? (Looking for a post I responded to here about scientists finding examples of learning where they believed it could and should not be possible.... will reference it if I find it) There...

    Evolution of God Logical/Necessary? Initial Environment/Processes.

    Man did not make up the singularity or big bang. They reverse-engineered the present. They should continue. It's perfectly doable -in the same way. If "in the beginning was simplicity", then they're nowhere near it with the singularity and big bang. There is a huge gap there -in which they will...

    Evolution of God Logical/Necessary? Initial Environment/Processes.

    Sincerely asking as I am new to the terminology, but...... Perhaps you are not arguing from ignorance concerning only two types of decision-makers, but certainly arguing from the perspective of incomplete knowledge -from only knowns, while also acknowledging there are things unknown which...

    Evolution of God Logical/Necessary? Initial Environment/Processes.

    Working on this.... First.... decision-making (human and all other) develops from -is actually composed of -is an arrangement of -most simple interaction. Most-simple interaction can be likened to a most-simple logic gate. If happens =yes... if not happen =no The composition of the simple...

    Evolution of God Logical/Necessary? Initial Environment/Processes.

    One way is looking for signs of manufacturing -but even that is what nature would not and could not produce. Manufacturing has different levels. Tools leave different sorts of marks -and some effectively none. The tool marks left on altered/unnatural DNA, for example, are the differences...

    Evolution of God Logical/Necessary? Initial Environment/Processes.

    Presently, that essentially IS the accepted test. The test for whether something was created by man (and is not simply a repetition of what nature could produce [as per past discussions with others]) is that it could not have been produced by..... and this IS important ...PRESENT nature. This...

    Evolution of God Logical/Necessary? Initial Environment/Processes.

    The extreme part would be extreme due to its not being able to happen without creativity -correct. Some things cannot happen without conscious alteration and application thereof. Would you at least agree with that?

    Evolution of God Logical/Necessary? Initial Environment/Processes.

    I do not believe or suggest complexity alone is evidence of creativity. Naturally-increasing complexity would necessarily result in creativity, but creativity makes possible extreme purposeful complexity. It is that which is able to understand natural processes enough to alter them in...
