Evidence for God from Science

BTW, Bav, question for you:

If God had not said, "Thou shalt not murder," would murder still be a sin?

I'm not really sure what the point you were trying to make behind the first observation, RGB. Daniel was written in Hebrew (also Aramaic with a very few Phoenician and Greek words). What do you mean by "was/is a prophecy for Israel"? I thoroughly believe that it is, but depending on what y...

Regarding Numbers, I actually had in mind the Flood. Logistically, they couldn't have been the same, so it seems to me that "nephilim" isn't a race.

I'll look at the article in detail when I get off work.

Let me ask you though, Kurieuo... (man, your name is hard to spell ;)) Does it really matter if some additional trust is place in some circa 1720 authority? As long as the ultimate authority rests with the acceptance of Jesus as personal Lord and Saviour, isn't everything else peripheral? I suppose...

Hey Joey. I think you've probably gotten a more than adequate answer to your questions, so I'll just post a reference. You asked about slavery. This was discussed extensively on the old board.

The Bible and Slavery

I'd suggest reading it, as it does a good job dealing with the issue.

I don't know, MM. No offense, but I think you might be reading into it a bit too much. It seems pretty important to check out Numbers 13:33. These certainly can't be the same Nephilim, can they? Maybe the "nephilim" wasn't a RACE of people so much as it was a classification? "Men of r...

He is within everybody. It is up to us to accept Him, and I guess the world needs Jesus to know this. I should listen to my own advice and read verses in context. I hope you don't mind me picking on this a bit, but this is the type of thing that can get into really, really incorrect thinking. I don...

Yes, exactly! Writings in Koine Greek, particularly the Scriptures, do not have punctuations. Who then placed the comman BEFORE "today"? It's the translators who subscribe to the traditional belief that when a Christian dies, he immediately goes to heaven. Yes, and it would be no differen...

Frankly i don't think christians should even worry about that. The Holy Spirit dwells within our body and as such we must have total faith in its guidance and not defile its name. In one sense I can agree with you. I pointed this out in a paper I wrote entitled "The Sabbath: A Brief Look at th...

See the references I've quoted to defend the general position of OSAS (OJAJ) vs. the loss of reward (reward=inheritance). Actually, I may do a write-up on the subject of heavenly inheritance. It helps explain the reward system a bit better . . .

Suicide won't send a person to hell. That doesn't mean it's ok. It results in the halting of the sanctification process and the loss of eternal inheritance, not the loss in salvation.

In the strictest sense of the poll's question, I answer no, but like Bav., I think it'd help to know the extent of the work you'd be doing. Obviously, keep praying about it, and I'm sure we'll all pray for wisdom for you, but in general, I hold moral convictions higher than potential business. God m...

Hey Dan. I'll not take your post line-by-line as Felgar did. His response was completely adequate in that regard, and the following discussion with Bav. did a good job to clarify other points. Instead, I wanted to point out that your belief is what is properly termed pantheism . You would be interes...

Premo: I get what you were saying, but I'd be careful there. I'm not "offended" at the idea of being reduced to a mere utensil at all, but I don't think that's really how it works. Where Ray's analogy fails, I think, is that a pen is not a living being. I believe in divine inspiration (or,...

EDIT:

wrong scripture reference.. brb

REDIT:

Actually, I don't want to get this off topic by arguing impeccability. Let's just stick with a simple passage of something God cannot do: He can't lie (Titus 1:2)
