Evidence for God from Science

Why on earth would someone base their belief predominantly upon their feelings? This seems particularly odd to me, especially when for example Paul said to test everything and hold onto the good. I see that such Christianity is often based on the whims and life experiences of the person. Once that ...

It seems that the whole point you are trying to make is that the God and the Bible is one big contradiction... This is not a new accusation at all... People have tried this many times... I'm not convinced you have. i'm not trying to make that point--i'm trying to make the point that maybe you can g...

"I know there are many Christians who say that all those who die without faith in Christ will be relegated to spend eternity in Hell - even if they have never heard the gospel. I think scripture suggests otherwise - that we are judged on the basis of what we know and how we act upon it. This i...

Yes, but the words mean nothing if they don't live in your heart... That's the trick. Also do you not think that hindus, jews, muslims, unitarians have loving, charitable actions, kindness, or acts of godliness? Who are we to judge others? The message of Christ says that we are not to condemn other...

I just wanted to give my opinion on one point, and then I'll leave. You say that Jesus' message was to repent and believe, so we could be saved, correct? Was this the ONLY message He came to tell? My belief is that He also came to tell of the coming Kingdom of God, which will happen in the very nea...

that...is...astounding. what? REALLY? so you propose it's SAFER to trust what OTHER MEN tell us, that rather than say we know God for what's in our hearts we should double check with other people's doctrines? this is the biggest indication of putting your faith in men rather than God. am i wrong? I...

So..? You could say these things a hundred times over... Is this all you think that makes someone a Christian? [/quote] here's an idea: why dont YOU tell ME what it means to be a christian. i already tried. your turn now. And what does it mean to be outside the acceptance of Christ? Black and white?...

Why on earth would someone base their belief predominantly upon their feelings? This seems particularly odd to me The point I'm making is that the foundation of our confidence cannot be placed on the subjective side, because it's too easy to be misled by subjective elements. There must be something...

If Christianity does not satisfy criticisms leveled against if by those of other positions whether secular or otherwise, then if fails at being as consistent. Now if someone sees Christianity failing to be consistent in many areas, people tend to automatically assume another position is correct by ...

That is nice. I would just say they are wrong. I could state a better informed council, the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy (ICBI), in fact affirmed that an Old Earth is in fact compatible with an inerrant reading of Scripture. ah. but my point is valid: how does one know what doctrines...

For those who have not heard of the Bible, it is Gods will to do with them as he will. He is a forgiving God and there probably is a way to get to Heaven without hearing about it. I only assume there is a way on the fact that God is a forgiving God. SO believing in the Holy Word of God, and believi...

I think we are making this way too difficult... We still haven't defined what Christianity is... Who is to say that someone is living more of a Christian life than another? Remember, we can't go by any labels. Even if someone says they are Christian, I believe it really doesn't mean anything... I b...

all these links to all these other men's articles, it makes me think no one gets what i 'm saying here. i read them, but it's all the same stuff i've researched a trillion times already. i'm not a new christian or theologically uneducated n00b or something, i'm a life-long church goer, son of a peac...
