Re: Near Death Experiences?

Nice post fdesilva! :) yes exactly what i thought! ONly i had some different points. My first was that non-living can't make living. If all is non-living - molecules and all that and is just result of elementary particles then not even an infinitely complex system of that should be able to make som...

Re: Son of Man?

This is from a Dake Bible comment: "Used 88 times of Christ in the N.T.and once in Da. 7:13. It always has the definite article when used of Christ, but not when used of ordinary men. He is Gods MAN to redeem man. He is Gods answer to satan to guarantee his defeat and restore man's original do...

Son of Man?

Jesus is the Son of God. However he also called himself the Son of Man. I have always wondered what this meant. Offcourse I have been lazy about finding out. Anyway the other day it struck me, that maybe Jesus called himself the son of man because He is the future of every Man. What man is called to...

Re: I have a question of fairness and salvation, does everyone g

The question asked here is what about the people that don't get to hear about Christ. Do they get saved. My answer is there are no people that don't hear about Christ. That is everybody gets to know about Christ to the same degree. How is this possible. My thoughts are based on the conversion of Pa...

Re: Check this view

I tend to think Gods knowing , to be the most perfect knowing that we also have in a more imperfect way. For example if I had to go to the corner store and buy some bread. I will be able to predict most aspects of my journey fairly accurately. Intelligence by its very nature is prophetic. So the per...

Re: Old Testament Prophecies Real or Not?

I have not studied theology. However I do know that the Jews have always been expecting a Messiah. Now obviously the Messiah needs to come to bring something new and surprising. This is precisely what Christ did. His life is radicle, its about humility, love, suffering and the resurrection. To me it...

Re: Near Death Experiences?

Hi madscientist I think the most important question that we need to ask ourselves is: Can our whole conscious experience be a result of pure physical and chemical activity in the brain? I have asked myself this question for many years and have come to the conclusion that this is impossible. What I m...

Re: Near Death Experiences?

Let us assume that there is a spirit, that is something totally none material in the brain. Let us assume that this entity has an ability to interact with the physical brain as well as a spiritual realm totally outside the physical brain. Now what this entity experiences in the spiritual realm, it c...

Concept A

As Christians we know that God is intimatly involved in everything that happens in the universe. Yet from science it appears that it will rain or not rain depending on purely natural causes. It would seem that God cannot influence the happening of Rain or a volcanoe. This concept that I am introduci...

Natural Selection All manufacturing processors use a selection process to maintain standard. All quality assurance systems use selection methods to select only the best. When a product hits the market it competes with rival products. Here again a selection process is at work. Take in the case of des...
