    Which statement is more likely to be true:

    I voted yes because if some humans know that Creator, then yes we know what created the universe. However, I think the question itself is a farce. That is because it is not a matter of likely or unlikely as to whether we could stumble upon the information (which is how the question seems to...

    Why does Hell have to be so terrible?

    If God is love, then there must be a Hell. And it would have to be that bad. (Though I'm not sure what you are imagining when I say "that bad." You could thinking of something from Dante or Milton, but I am thinking of the sheer horror of a lake of fire. It is simple and brutal.) If God is...

    'God became man so that man may become God'

    When Christians say the Jesus is fully human and fully divine, we are saying that He really was (and is) human, and that He really always was (and is) God. Why bother? Because our salvation would not be possible otherwise. God, by His holiness and love is obligated to kill every single one of...
