Evidence for God from Science

it is rather exhausting to try to keep up with the way the subjects keep changing. it has gone from the trinity, to whether or not God has a form, and now to what language the bible was written in and who it was written for (and to). y(:| I know that's frustrating, but I hope that rather than be fr...

I don't think you're disagreeing. I just think these sorts of things are important to talk about. We tend to shy away from them, in my view. I think your example is a good one. I think it was appropriate and indeed good to get angry. And the responses were, I thought, right on point. It would have b...

The "guidance from God" argument is rooted in a misunderstanding of verses like 1 Cor 2:14 and John 16:13. I have no doubt you can see them yourself and "get" the argument. I don't feel a lot of need to defend ideas I disagree with, although I do think it is worth saying that whi...

Being angry is a whole different thing to reacting angrily. You can be really, really angry yet not react angrily. Anger and temper are two different things. Anger can change things, it's a powerful motivator. I don't know what it would mean to get angry but not react angrily. If you mean that you ...

All this micro-aggression is triggering me. I need a subforum where we're only allowed to talk about bunny rabbits and play-doh. :( K, have you looked at any work by Jordan Peterson? He's a pretty recent YouTube sensation over some arguments he's been having in Canada with SJWs. A psychology profess...

CozySoul - I have a sincere question for you. Why do you even think you need an argument against a position like that. If I you that I was God and created the entire world five seconds ago and that if you don't bow down before me and worship me that I was going to damn you to hell this instant, woul...

I'm curious who Audie has in mind, as while Wise has made the claim she's talking about, I've not seen it repeated here. Even as frustratingly intractable as ACB is with his gappery nonsense, he at least pays lip service to the notion he could be wrong. I really don't know anybody here who has clai...

God is spirit, yes, but just because something is spirit does not mean it cannot have a shape or form or body. a body does not have to be flesh, it can be spirit and still be a body. I do not remember what words Christ gave that said spirits dont have hands or feet, please where did He say that? I ...

so the apes were given bipedalism too, but we were not modeled after them, were we? Of course not. Having a common model doesn't mean either was modeled on the other. But even then, there aren't any apes that are primarily bipedal anyway, certainly not in the sense that modern human beings are. jen...

yes ma'am

If He did not have a form then what are our bodies modeled after? Bipedalism. And that makes sense. It is the most condusive to our rational nature. Let's us use our hands, which is a really big deal, given our rational nature. Let's us see better (binocular vision since the eyes are on the front o...

The word for "image" in Gen 1:26 just has the idea of a picture or representation of something. Seth was born in Adam's "image." Do you really think that is talking about his physical appearance? That doesn't make any sense of the context, and it isn't like the readers needed to ...

No, this guy (caution: some foul language in that movie clip!).

TERRORIST!!! :crying: I'm getting triggered. I need a safe space. Rick, make me a sammich. The mean woman is picking on me with her cis-normative white privilege. I AM BABA YAGA. :econfused: "white privilege"? are you really going to go there, George? :poke: https://68.media.tumblr.com/a6...

I did answer them. They are all anthropomorphisms. Specifically, Ex 33:20-23 is playing off the ancient idea that someone's glory was in their face. That's why you would bow your head to a king, or why the Hebrew blessing was "May the Lord's face shine upon you," or why God spoke of coveri...
