Evidence for God from Science

Problem, Stephen was stoned to death so the logic was irresistably rejected - not accepted by all. It most certainly does not appear that way to me. Rather, the Scripture gives me the unmistakable impression that there was absolutely nothing irresistable about the choice that Stephen's opponents ma...

I see from your link that you maybe SA and read Ellen G. White's stuff? is that correct? No! and No again! I just did a hurried google search and came accross the article at the link I gave you. After a quick glance, I thought it would be suitable for my purpose. Until you mentioned it in this cont...

The irristable logic that I was referring to is the kind that Stephen expressed before Saul and those who were attempting to debate with him.

Perhaps http://www.preparingforeternity.com/sr/sr36.htm explains it better.

Thanks Jlay, I'll try that. I have West's 4 volume New Testament Greek Word Studies. Unfortunately, though, I have no word studies for the Hebrew Old Testament. However, after thinking about it some more, I can't see how word studies to help me to see the Character of God are going to help me to re...

Do word studies on the meaning of the words used to describe his nature and character — dig into the bible for your answers and not the ones in your head. I say this because the Lord's answers will astound you and very well shoot's down all human preconceived notions or ideas. This takes time and h...

Thanks for your patience with me, B.W. It appears as if I still have some way to go in my search for truth in this matter. I am hoping that before it is too late, I will have the peace of mind I have been longing for on this issue. I don't like the idea that God is cruel because it destroys the hop...

So you show bias and only want an answer that agrees with a point of view you already hold and want none other. How I wish that were true, 'cause if it were, then wouldn't I know it? And if I knew it, wouldn't I at least be able to deal with it? But I can't see that bias and I am sure that I am not...

The giver creates a recipient so the giver can prove he gives (Genesis Chapter one and To). So, are you telling me that the giver needs a recipient? But I thought the giver needed nothing apart from Himself (which includes the recipients of the Godhead). Besides, why would anyone (including any giv...

It is because of the giver that life is a gift to the lifeless. Now I know you are not getting it! Receivers of gifts are always, without exception, capable of receiving and rejecting gifts, thanking and cursing givers, etc. The lifeless is like nothingness in that it is capable of doing absolutely...

We all face judgment; therefore, use our heritage wisely. How, fear God and keep his commandments (Ecc 12:13-14) because God will bring everything to judgment. Bottom line is - Humanity needs the Savior. The writer of Ecclesiastes is pointing to the need for Christ and longing for this day. I would...

I perceive that you do not yet perceive the depths of sin...and the reality of Christ... That is quite possible and maybe even probable. But it still seems as if you are not getting what I am trying to say. It seems as if you are forever addressing questions and issues that I have not been asking o...

] The Golden Rule is a summation of the horizontal commands. Not a way that God relates to us. But in that same summation (i.e., Matthew 7:9-12) God is clearly relating to us. Otherwise, why would He suggest, within that same summation, that He would grant a request for bread as a loving human fathe...

B.W., [They treat life as a gift from God and share this gift wisely as God so leads them in many diverse ways...People, due to sin, abuse God's goodness and gift of life so much so that people no longer view Life as a gift from God but all dreariness and toil. Hate and rebellion builds in a person...

Jlay, That is a whole other thread, is it not? Absolutely! Nevertheless, B.W. raised it and I wanted to address it while it was still fresh on my mind. For that reason, I think it was called for. And thanks for bringing it to my attention. You are helping me to stay on topic. It sounds too me as if...

B.W., It is because God sanctioned the soul to be immortal is why it becomes so in the womb. This has nothing to do with Plato. You sound intelligent and therefore should know that in order to understand a matter, terms are fashioned to aid understanding. The term 'immortal soul' is such term used ...
