Evidence for God from Science

I can't add anymore than I than I have w/o going over a lifetime of accumulated knowledge of Scripture and try to reduce it to the length of a post. And I'm sorry if my approach seems to need to be more humble. I'm only asking these questions in the way that I am, ie as devil's advocate, because the...

I'm am new here and maybe you're the head guru here and I'm not aware of it. Like I asked, exegesis is the standard? By your answer, I guess it is according to you. Of course I would not propose dicussing the topics herein w/o reference to Scripture. Being that I have plainly referenced Scripture, I...

Debate on your terms or not at all? Exegesis is the standard? You haven't given the benefit of the doubt. You've taken offense when no offense was intended. And now you put your taking offense off onto me saying that is because I haven't been 'here' that long as if being 'here' is the only place Chr...

Flat out answer: No. What I have stated plainly is that some non-Christians have asked me this question and I have answered their question but want to know how others would answer the same question. Relax Jac. I'm not attacking. We're not playing King of the Bible Hill here. I'm only asking question...

No, but if he has been already condemned - sentenced, if you will - then it doesn't matter. And what does that specifically relate to? Anyway, the questions still need answering. edit: I've not changed the discussion. You asked about angels. I am answering the question. Arrogant words don't fly wel...

The devil is not yet in Hell. Neither are his angels.

And you've changed the discussion from believing and repentance to losing salvation, something I have not addressed, much less believe.

Stay on topic please.

Therefore, even if Satan were to repent and beg for forgiveness, it would not be provided. His fate is sealed, as is the fate of those angels who did not follow in the rebellion. You've made an assumption, two of them in fact. 1. That "even if Satan were to repent and beg for forgiveness, it w...

Good Deal. I guess my taken it seriously makes it even funnier.

Yep.

Knowledge can puff a person up and make them proud which is a danger to watch for at all times.

Yep.

Mary did agree as is plainly indicated in all the passages. God's plan was not necessarily contingent upon that agreement, yet He did send His messenger before the conception and Mary acknowleged and indicated her agreement and submission to the plan. Little subteties do indeed often make a big dif...

No. We have yet to discuss santification. Neither were we discussing justification. I thought we were discussing redemption, adoption and glorification. You're suggesting redemption and adoption are not included in Justification? Further, if your going to leap from there to glorification, it seems ...

Thanks much for that reference, been looking for something like that for quite awhile since I travel so much.

Been using the KJV since I was saved because if it was good enough for Paul, I figure it's good enough for me.

Because Mary conceiving Jesus was a done deal, long before she 'consented.' 31 Behold, you will conceive in your womb, and bring forth a son, and will call his name'Jesus.' "You will conceive..." Not "do you want to, do you agree to or do you consent?" KJV is stronger: Lu 1:31 An...

The point is that when she was told in advance of God's design, she agreed and consented. Yes, Mary was told in advance. Whether she agreed/consented, is debatable. It wasn't as if she could/would disagree or not consent. I don't wish to be pedantic, but I think we Christians need to 'rightly divid...

No. We have yet to discuss santification.

Neither were we discussing justification.

I thought we were discussing redemption, adoption and glorification.
