    What is your Worldview?

    Many theists claim that they feel differently when they accept Jesus. Has anyone walked into a cathedral or a Black gospel church, and felt a religious quality of the music? For many people, who appear to be atheists, certain music has a religious quality. The recording artists lend something...

    I Just Proved That Jesus Is A False Messiah In Less Than 5 Minutes

    https://web.oru.edu/current_students/class_pages/grtheo/mmankins/DrHebert/Dissertation/1.3.1%20Messianic%20Proph%201st%20Advent.pdf Hypertext link, above, says that the prophecy of a Messiah is in many Old Testament chapters. When I found this, I was looking for a translation of the earliest...

    Fine Tuning

    SETI established the rarity of life. The only confirmed life in the universe is here on earth. All life on earth is related by DNA. In other words, if life did spontaneously develop on earth more than once, we would (or should) see DNA that is not related. Some theists say that if they don't...

    Do you think 2 Peter 1:10-11 and 2 Peter 1:13-15.Imply you go right to heaven at death?I do.

    Perhaps the bible, itself, was written by a psychic who got the divine truth from ESP or God? If we assert that the bible is perfect, this is the only way that it could be perfect. So, maybe we don't need statements from Jesus, if we could get those statements directly through ESP?

    Do you think 2 Peter 1:10-11 and 2 Peter 1:13-15.Imply you go right to heaven at death?I do.

    I was arguing with the associate pastor of a local Greek Orthodox Church about this issue. I said that there are various levels of heaven, and he said that there is only one. I said that Jews had several levels of heaven, and he said that he studied the Jewish religion and they only had one...

    Why are so many Christians unwilling to say they are Christians?

    Actually, my point is that Christians are ignorant of the teachings of God/Christ. For example, they make war, while God said "thou shalt not kill."

    Why are so many Christians unwilling to say they are Christians?

    Republican platform: war. War: (thou shalt kill). Is that really the platform of Christ? How about the platform of greed? Take from the poor, give to the rich, ignore the homeless, starving, and sick? Fight against universal health care (aka Obamacare)? Is that really the platform of...

    Why are so many Christians unwilling to say they are Christians?

    Professor Henry Higgens (My Fair Lady) said "Why can't a woman be more like a man." CHRISTIANS FOR SATAN: What exactly are mainstream Christians today? First of all, you have to be a avid (no, make that rabbid) supporter of guns, and a supporter of the National Rifle Association if you want...

    Intertestamental Period

    I assume that you mean contemporary writings of the era by those who might have heard something of Jesus or Christianity?

    Intertestamental Period

    This is assuming that everything in the New Testament bible comes from God psychicly (ESP). But, could some of the info have come from word of mouth, perhaps from the apostles, themselves, or passed on verbally to the author (unknown) of the bible?

    Intertestamental Period

    Hebrew language - Wikipedia The unsuccessful Bar Kokhba revolt against the Roman Empire, by Judaean Jews, resulted in the Romans killing the ancient Hebrew language (their Jewish slaves were forbidden to speak it). By word of mouth, the language was revived into modern Hebrew (with slight...

    Intertestamental Period

    Miracle: knowing that the date was BC (so they'd have to have known when Jesus was going to live). (Joke). Since little was known about the writing of the bible (who wrote it, his sources of info (word of mouth or divine ESP?), there isn't much that could be learned from this "critical"...

    The bait & switch on discussions of materialism

    It's okay that God doesn't exist if we don't exist either.

    The bait & switch on discussions of materialism

    Penguin: "1. What should we believe exists?" Believe in (and obey) God or burn in the lake of fire for all eternity. We don't have to believe the lies, but we have to pretend that we do. We have to believe that Jesus died for our sins, though He was murdered (He had asked God why God had...

    What are the attributes of a worthy God?

    The bible is written in code, and now we have modern decoders to find that code. Bible Decoder. Get the software safely and easily. Of course the bible is in code. You wouldn't think that someone as intelligent as God would write long boring lists of who is related to whom (Genesis). Rather...

    What are the attributes of a worthy God?

    God offers a deal. . . "worship Me or burn in the lake of fire of the bottomless pit of hell for eternity." Hence the phrase "God fearing." On the off-chance that God exists, some people want to take no chances so they attend church. Pastors used to do "God's work" of torturing humans. The...

    Believing vs thinking

    Anything can be used as evidence. A termite could be used as evidence of tooth decay. Proof, on the other hand, is difficult to obtain, and not everyone accepts it. Sometimes answers are easy, but asking the right questions is difficult.

    Believing vs thinking

    Bathos Logos said: "I don't have good evidence that literally demonstrates that Godzilla doesn't exist." Clara Tea responds: Well, I discussed the matter with Godzilla, and Godzilla said "AAAARRRRRR," which I think means that "I don't exist" (in dinosaur language). Many knights have told...
