Evidence for God from Science

Jac, Then one of us has lost the other. Let me remind you of how this part of the exchange has gone: Jac: Argues Danny is wrong about 1 Cor 15:45 for at least four reasons: "1. The passage uses the definite article--it is THE first man, not A first man. Paul is speaking absolutely." Danny:...

Jac,

I'm not ignoring your post, I'm seriously thinking about it. I will reply soon.

Yes, YHWH is the one who put the oracles in Balaam's mouth; but that is because YHWH is the one blessing Israel (and, for that matter, cursing Balak!). Remember the distinction in elohim an YHWH. Both are certainly names for Israel's God, but YHWH was His covenantal name; it is YHWH, not Elohim, wh...

Regarding (1), I'm not sure what either my or your opinion of the NIV has to do with the discussion.. Neither am I y:-/ Regarding (3), no, Paul says "the first MAN, Adam." Look at the Greek. You can do so yourself here . You will be able to follow it even if you don't read Greek... Yes, &...

But Koran was never edited since Prophet Mohamed unlike the bible. but i don't see how that is the problem, if the God is the same. notice that even though Koran said that Jesus is not son of God, it still praised him, and it did NOT say that Mohamed is the son of God.. The Qur'an wasn't even estab...

Can God create at a rock so heavy he can not lift it and can God suprise himself? NO!....Theology lesson over with. To limit God with our understanding of science and math and any other human undersatnding is to make God smaller than He is. Watch Rob Bell's "everything is spiritual" video...

Regarding having a Bible handy, I recommend http://www.biblegateway.org. You can also download a great program called e-sword at http://www.e-sword.net. :) :) Thanks, these could come in handy :esmile: First, he practiced sorcery. Balak expressly went to him with a divination fee, which he was perf...

Hi Danny, I recently found this article that put an interesting spin on 1 Cor 15:45.. "Many universalists like to quote a portion 1 Cor. 15:47 or verse 45 to prove Adam as being the first man. But if we look at all the verses involved we see the distortion of their conclusion. Verse 47 states:...

Danny, You are simply wrong about 1 Cor 15:45 for several reasons: 1. The passage uses the definite article--it is THE first man, not A first man. Paul is speaking absolutely. 2. The passages distinguishes between man and adam, which refutes your point about adm in the Heb of Gen 1-2 refering to ma...

Danny, If you don't believe that Moses wrote Gen 1-2, then what does any of this matter anyway? It obviously wasn't inspired, so if it wasn't inspired, then take it for what it says and conclude, along with most critical scholars, that there are errors in the text. In any case, I'd strongly encoura...

[Yes the first account is the chronology of creation and the second is as it pertains to man. But it is the same creation, not two different creations. And I don't see two different people writing those accounts. The Bible does use this method where the it states the summary then the following vers...

Gen 12:1-3 says that anyone who curses Israel will be cursed. As you note, Numbers 31 goes back to Num 25, which itself goes back to 22-24, in which Balaam is paid to curse Israel. It is immediately evident, then, that the Moabites were under the curse of Gen 12. Still moreso given the events of Nu...

I believe Christ rose from the dead, its the only explanation. I've read and read and read. Nothing else makes sense. 1. Christ talks about Jonah. This one doesn't bother me as much as it once did. What better way to predict something that's impossible (the resurrection) than to give as a sign some...

Numbers 31: 14-18. Moses seeks vengence on the Midianites. I'd rather not repeat the passage on here, as it troubles me deeply. We know that our God of the OT was harsh but mainly Just. How on this earth do we square this with the actions of Moses towards those Midianites whose crimes, in reality (N...

j, I think the NT makes it clear (as noted above) that Adam was the only person actually created. Genesis doesn't imply that there was anyone else created. I think we should take Eve's meaning as literal, considering the context was the creation of the first woman. Here name's meaning was a major p...
