Evidence for God from Science

Thanks, Lux - who knows, I may have something to contribute. Few thoughts on you building a site: At this point, there are so many good apologetics materials out there that what I see the greatest value in is pointing people in the right direction, to the right resource, to good answers from quality...

I wanted to do something similar. I've written two extensive apologetic volumes (over about 6 years), but have not finished either. I keep adding to them and finding new things I want to add. And I love to edit, reorganize ("to infinity and beyond!") One is devoted to inerrancy issues, how...

I am currently employed and paying off some debts and hopefully saving up some money so I can get my masters in philosophy

Don't quit your day job! Probably a lot of guys with masters in philosophy that are currently working as greeters at Wal-Mart - that is - IF they are working.

I've always wondered about the legitimacy of how the Bible was put together. I'm very interested in knowing what resources exist regarding the authenticity of the Bible process. Here's a good reference to have about how the Bible was given/received: http://www.amazon.com/From-God-To-Us-Bible/dp/080...

If God is all good and the very measure of all that is moral, and all evil is the antithesis of that, then all God commands CAN ONLY be ULTIMATELY moral. But we have to remember that the entire Creation was made by God and is His. This also means that only He has the right to do with it as He so des...

So a thing is moral because God commands it then, regaurdless of any consequences? Absolutely true! As God cannot/will not do any evil. There is no evil that God has caused. But He does use those already intending evil for His own good and eternal purposes: "As for you, you meant evil against ...

Please give an example where you think God commanded something immoral.

Plus, does the all-knowning God Who calls himself The Great I AM, who is both eternal and unchangeable, hate some behavior so badly that He calls it an "abomination," even destroying people and nations for it, then suddenly do a 180 and allows it? Even SUPPOSEDLY has created people born so...

Lets take into account the Periscope de Adultera, if you look at the passages does it look like something OUT of context with what Jesus preached? would have said?, No, it is very much in character with Jesus's preaching, even more so within the context of the GOJ. We do NOT know why it was not pre...

I agree with PaulSacramento here. If it is in the Bible, God put it there. That's a big IF! I would agree that, at least to some degree, later additions aren't necessarily unScriptural. However, the verses mentioned are suspect for a lot more than just that one reason. Very key is the fact that the...

We also need to understand that death, while a final state in our view, is NOT seen that way by God. It may be of no consolation for US that when a loved one dies they are "better off", but for God that (perhaps) knows this to be true Very true! What if, at the very stroke of a sword, som...

Fact is that, once IN, it was accepted by all as something that belongs there. If that were totally true, then why all the Bibles with brackets around those verses in question? Why all the footnotes to use caution, as they may not be true Scripture? These teams of scholars that put together transla...

Wait...the story of the adulterous woman receiving forgiveness is not in the original manuscripts by authors of the New Testament? The story was inserted into the gospel of John from what someone else wrote? No, it is not in the OLDEST known/available manuscripts. There are no known ORIGINAL manusc...

Paul, thanks for the links! Clearly, the passages I mentioned are highly problematic. We just don't KNOW, as they are missing in the oldest manuscripts and at least APPEAR to be later additions. I think the REAL reason they are still in Bibles, is, as Wallace says, people would absolutely "frea...

This may be old/no news for many of you, but I find it important to share that there are one or two passages found in most Bibles that are clearly not in the oldest, most-reliable manuscripts of Scripture. I see them quoted over and over to make points, but they should not be. In fact, as they incur...
