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 ...

Entity, before responding further I just want to say there is no need for the hostility.
Please, do not confuse hostility with urgency and concern.

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...

He is defining something that is wrong. How did they know God is good? Even if God defines or dictates to them what is right and what is wrong, how can they logically retain this information and still be without knowledge of good and evil. How would they know that it is good for them to obey God wi...

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...

iamthearm812: "I have yet to find evidence of creationism that was not somehow skewed or biased and was easily disproved, but then again, I'm only 18." Can someone people be biased and still be right? The reasons or motivations people have for holding a belief only tell you about their re...

vvart: "The theme of the Scriptures is that there is One God" I agree. God commands that only he be worshipped. That we have no other gods before him. So if Jesus was not God, then he should not allow himself to be worshipped. But look at the scriptures. John 20:28 28Thomas said to him, “...

Are you asking if our salvation is justified based on faith alone? Or are you asking if are we justfied in believeing we are right in regard to non-believers based on our faith alone?
