Evidence for God from Science

Totally wrong. I would be surprised if this is still condoned by the RCC. I would NEVER utter such nonsense. There are misguided souls in every religion and denomination. Pope Leo XIII called Mary not only the 'Mediatrix of Divine grace', but also the 'co-Redemptress'. Look it up in Iucunda Semper ...

1) According to reliable textual criticism, Mark originally had a different ending, and Mark 16:9-20 was not in the original Bible. 2) You cannot translate 'word for word'. For instance, the Greek has a frequently used word, an , which influences the meaning of a sentence, but does not mean anything...

Someone else told me that 'faith' as used by the early Christians meant 'faithfulness' -- that is, loyal commitment.

B.W., Might I recommend you pick up Thomas Torrence's The Doctrine of Grace in the Apostolic Fathers (Eugene, OR : Wipf and Stock, 1996. ISBN: 0965351769)? It's pretty slim, at a whopping 120 pages. There is some technical aspects to it (a bit of Greek text, as well as some other languages), but it...

And I thought only humans had the intelligence required to make weapons. Oh dear.

And then are we also allowed - or is it a good thinbg to use satans name in vain, swear at him and mock him? just as we thank god and pray to him, can we do the opposite to satan? Sort of anti-pray to him, say how evil is he and how hated is he? Wouldnt taht bring pleasure to us ina similar way pra...

Chance of salvation? Believe in the Lord and thou shalt be saved. It is quite simple. The rest follows. No, gorging yourself with Eucharists will not increase your chance of salvation; but if you truly believe, you will participate in the ritual every time with a humble heart. It is significant, li...

Tss. Kitsch.

Aye, aye! KMart for Captain!

Folks, Darwinian scientists have found more and more evidence for common ancestors...

Sorry, my framework is still very much intact and with the research I've done, reading your sources, reading sources of my own, and so on, I'm even more secure in my positions. Thanks for the interesting discussion; not bad for a 16(?) year old. You got my age right. I see you're leaving the board....

I think Turgy understands the argument better than you perceive.. If we were to start from "scratch" you don't even have a body or an eye or anything to modify, over heat, or repair to begin with.. Thanks for the defence, Gman, but actually I don't understand science. I only know how to l...
