    The Trinity Concept

    I don't believe that God is "just" a spirit. If God was limited to "just" a spirit, then there would be several conflicts with scripture that would result (encounter with Abram, Jacob, would be two). I just don't think it is accurate to separate the person between the spirit and the physical...

    The Trinity Concept

    According to John 4:24, God is spirit, which poses a problem to you assertion.

    If God is evil...

    I don't see how the presence of evil has any bearing on any of the attributes of God, especially the three attributes you list. I understand that in some peoples formulations there may not be universal agreement on that point. I fully agree with your statement that the PoE has no bearing on...

    If God is evil...

    So let me get this right, you are asserting that there are atheists who don't believe in certain versions of God based on the argument from the existence of evil? Well, as you say, we may have vastly different experiences with atheists, however, the formulation I most hear from many atheists is...

    The Trinity Concept

    The Creeds are derived from the teaching of the apostles. So, you are correct that the disciples never swore an allegiance to the creeds, instead, the creeds flowed from their very teaching. To say that the creeds do not reflect the beliefs of the apostles would be to separate the creeds from...

    Consciousness and subjectivity

    The first part seems to be backward. I would think that a mind produces an organized stream of images and a mind necessarily must be conscious, at least of itself. Otherwise we have nothing--which is what rocks dream about. But, the idea of the rock must be imported to make this comment work.

    If God is evil...

    IF God was evil, unless I also was evil I would not worship him. However, unlike many atheists who rely on the argument from evil, the existence of God as evil would not cause me to disbelieve in his existence. In fact, it would seem that not believing in an evil omnipotent, omnipresent...

    The Trinity Concept

    I think the number of "exceptions" pretty much would cancel the rule. I am left wondering what one means when they say they are a Christian" yet does not hold to any aspect of divinity in Christ, nor the traditional creedal statements. It truly seems intellectually dishonest.

    What is Faith?

    What is your working definition of evidence here? Your statement as quoted is fallacious.

    What is Faith?

    Actually, you did not show it, you only stated it. You provided no basis (evidence if you will) for why your statement had any factual basis. Since you provided no basis to judge your statement, then how could anyone know to what in your experiences to base the statement upon? Perhaps you...

    Reconciling Deism with Theism

    The above statements are not necessarily accurate. Forgive me if this has been clarified, but I didn't see it in my review of this thread. I can't argue with the offered definition of Deism, I am not that familiar with modern practices of it. The definition does not encompass classical...

    Who compiled the Bible?

    The Old Testament is derived from the collection of Hebrew texts. These are the Torah, the Prophets, and the Writings. The Torah is the collection of the Mosaic writings and comprise the first five books of the Christian bible (Genesis - Deuteronomy). The Prophets are the books that we would...
