I think one of the problems is how Christ and salvation are preached to believers and unbelievers. I think that when unbelievers hear that accepting Christ will change your life, they expect some supernatural confirmation to happen within themselves that would essentially eliminate any doubts or con...

It means he doesn't want people preaching his word who don't live the way he intended them to live. before we preach his word we need to live it. People who speak his word to others but don't live the word are hypocrites. These hypocrites are the reason christians are hated. If sinners decided not ...

Ask your JW friend what he believes Colossians 2:9-10 means. 9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. (NIV) 9 For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, 10and in ...

Do you not see the obvious contradiction? If they knew that eating the fruit was an evil deed prior to eating the fruit, then they had to have prior knowledge of what evil is. If Adam and Eve had knowledge of good and evil prior to eating the fruit, then why did the serpent say that the reason God d...

Kateliz, I believe we are on the same page. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who's thought about this. I, however, am not sure that I believe God set them up for failure (at least not intentionally). If that is the case, then wouldn't God share at least some of the responsibility for bringi...

Free will / Adam and Eve
It is often said that evil is a product of human's free will to choose good and evil. Without free will, we would essentially be robots. What then of “free will” and choosing good or evil before Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge? Why would God restrict this knowledge from them? And why wa...
