It seems most of the objections people make to Divine Command Theory (DCT) rest completely on its uncomfortable implications. For example, Sam Harris argues that if DCT is true, then if Muslim terrorists have the right god, what they're doing is good, but this is just an appeal to emotion and so...
Daniel 7:9
As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool;
1. Jesus has wooly hair.

Revelation 1:14
The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow.
2. Jesus has white hair...
We know from the Bible that there were giants, they are the children of fallen angels and human women.
The Bible says :
Genesis 6:1-4
1 When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them,
2 the sons of God saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they...
Interesting thoughts on Bliss, Truth, Love
"God" seems to be differently defined from usual.
My mother uses white lies, so I have no faith in her, no confidence and can't love (as in trust) her. Same with a murderer. No trust, faith, confidence. Yes I have the confidence he might kill me (even...

1: All the below is my personal opinion in my quest for truth. I Can be wrong. No disrespect.
2: IF someone would argue "this thread is crazy", then I would argue "not half as crazy as allowing religious people claiming `all go to hell unless they have accepted Jesus` etc.etc."...
I understand that it is a general Christian Belief that God is a person without a Body, And if God is without a Body, he is Spaceless, not dwelling in the Universe.
My question is does this belief have any scriptural doctrine behind it? And why would a belief of God having a Body and dwelling...
Hi guys (I’m french sorry for my english)
I Want to share a throught who really confuse me.
The selfishness is the ennemy of the « Good » and especially the source of all the bad right ?
You are a good person who want to spread joy, great, I am too, but when you believe in god, it’s...
This thread is in Science and Religion as it is about Truth and how each of us chooses to find, 'what is Truth'?
I seem to attract quite a few warnings for trying to convert people to my faith, even when I say repeatedly that I can not, do not have the ability to convert any person and do not...
Oh how these voices inside my head command me to write this , I'm not sure if it is me , God or the Aliens doing this .
Do I listen to God or the Aliens ?
John 1:1 says: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The Word was with God and God Himself is the Word? How does that work? Every man also has his own word and he himself is his own word. With your word you can swear, bless, curse and honour God. Your...
I read something very interesting in the epistle from Barnabas. He writes:
Barnabas 15:3
Of the Sabbath He speaketh in the beginning of the creation; And
God made the works of His hands in six days, and He ended on the
seventh day, and rested on it, and He hallowed it.
Barnabas 15:4
Give heed...
I just read the Barnabas letter and found something I haven't heard before. "Barnabas" writes that the dietary laws of the Old Testament are not to be understood literally but in the spiritual sense.
He writes:
Barnabas 10:1
But forasmuch as Moses said; Ye shall not eat seine nor eagle nor...
The first book of Enoch (not the "2" or "3") is clearly God's Word.
Why?
1. It does not contradict the Bible once, but confirms it.
2. The prophets, the apostles and also Jesus quote from the book of Enoch.
Here are some:
Jude 1:14-15
"And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these...
Jehovah's Witnesses and Adventists claim that Michael (the angel) is Jesus. However, in the Bible Jesus is neither described as an angel nor as Michael. Not once.
They also claim that Michael is the only Archangel, which is not said in the Bible.
What is an Archangel?
There are altogether seven...
Is there a distinction in the description preceding JHVH, ie the word 'g-d' there, that in your tradition, is different from use for 'any god'?
Or is it merely that
'I am the God of the Hebrews, '
In other words, the context, that lends to the singular nature of the God reference.
Shalom
Ok, so God or not God? What causes coincidences and don't tell me that they just happen. Too many happen, statistically, to just be accidents.
The latest one I just saw is not related to myself, personally, for once. I was watching a documentary about Princess Diana because I was too lazy to...
What exactly is the problem?
We people are a small trinity too. We people consist of a body, a soul and a spirit. And yet we are not each 3 people but only one human.
Are there a soul and a spirit?
Yes.
The Bible mentions and differentiates spirit, soul and body.
1 Thessalonians 5:23

Martin Luther once said:
"The Hebrew language is the very best and richest in words, and pure, does not beg, has its own color. [...] When I was younger, I wanted to learn this language, because without it, one can no longer properly understand the Scriptures. That's why they said rightly: The...
