Re: The Evidence For Jesus

Interesting. For a thread named "The Evidence For Jesus", there is not much discussion about the subject. That is logical when you consider that no objection against the so-called evidence is allowed here, but I wonder if at least you shouldn't pretend that you actually discuss, as it used...

Re: The washing of feet

I just stumbled upon this thread from many years ago looking for some answers. I've been around many Christian forums since then and never ever a good answer was presented. Shouldn't the actions of Jesus be clear enough to interpretation? I still consider now what I wondered then, for it is the char...

If He had sent out female apostles, nobody would have listened-women didn't have any authority back in that time period, to the point that their testimony in court meant nothing. Also, look at what the apostles had to suffer. And you haven't shown that his choice is the result of being anti-female....

Jesus made it very clear that men/women are equal in all respects in the eyes of God
Why didn't he accept women apostles then?

If you read the preceding chapter, in John 11, Jesus raises Mary's brother from the dead, even though he's been dead for 4 days. If someone did that for me, I would also be very thankful. Martha, Mary's sister, showed her gratitude by serving food etc, while Mary showed it by pouring the ointment o...

Today's culture in western society is obviously different to back then. What is it that you are using the judge the culture then as less moral than your westernised culture? I think this cuts to the heart of the matter. Not at all. If you care to take examples from Jesus life, his deeds should have...

The washing of feet

I don't know if this is the proper place to put it, but there's a question that has been on my mind for years and maybe somebody could help. Even when I was a convinced Christian, there was some odd acts of the Jesus portrayed in the NT that never quite made sense to me. Then took Mary a pound of oi...

I will start with my fundamental position: I believe that God is the Almighty Creator of the universe, and that the Bible is His infallible Word.
What kind of comment do you expect? That is your belief, you don't give or need reasons for it. Probably there is nothing to discuss. :?

I gave one and another one was linked to
Where? I don't see it, and the link provided is not a refutation at all.

There are many responses to Russel

Furthermore, a response to the question about where God came from, which appears to have been persuasively argued by Russel (to some), can be found at http://discussions.godandscience.org/viewtopic.php?t=58. There are many responses to Russel, and your lack of knowledge about them seems telling so ...

I didnt know about the refutation of Quinque Viae because I've only skimmed it (and couldn't understand it because the translation style was hard) and never got through the entire thing. This just popped into my head one late night. OK, but it's basically the same argument, and was refuted many tim...

If you're going to say this was refuted, at least post how. Ups... :oops: So sorry, Dan. I assumed you were familiar with both sides of the theory. The refutation of the Quinque Viae is abundant and has a long tradition. Since Hume deconstructed the concept of 'cause' in XVIII century, many has reb...

Would you please explain this concrete point further. I think I don't quite understand it: If the universe were to exist before this point, it would have to have a provision for negative space, which it doesn't. Anyway, your argument seems to represent a sophisticated, science-tinged version of Thom...
