Re: Does the Bible condone violence against other religions?

It is best to post the passage for clarity. Deuteronomy 13:6 ¶ If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor t...

Re: Wisdom

I was just reading The Proverbs..and something hit me :S is Wisdom >> Jesus? :esurprised: Ahh, you picked up on it, eh? In chapter 8 it is talking about wisdom as we normally understand it: the ability to make a proper or consistent conclusion leading to consistent action based upon knowledge of tr...

Re: More OT difficulties

I think for the most part that's simply the way things were done back then. You can see children being blamed for "the sins of the father" and looked down upon because of their ancestors today as well. Flawed people do, indeed, do that. But why would an all-loving and all-knowing God blam...

Re: Supernatural?

I was wondering what this board thinks of the supernatural. Yes, I am aware that this site is God believing for the most part. But this doesn't mean there isn't other supernatural beliefs(or lack thereof) you have. So theists, I'm asking outside of God do you believe in anything supernatural? It do...

Re: If god is our "father", why can't we grow up and "play g

Simple question, what exactly would you call "playing god" and why shouldn't we? I see no problem with all the things we do, would you call irrigation playing god? Because irrigation is not natural is it! its artificial tinkering. So first we need a acceptable definition, next we need a A...

Re: Time scale? a very long time indeed.

If infinite regression is not a problem, then im confused. Infinite regression is inevitable whether one tries to argue for a less than infinite creator god, or a totally materialistic accidental origin for the universe, but in itself fails to satisfy or answer the question. However, infinite regre...

Re: Time scale? a very long time indeed.

I think you may find this article helpful to you, yes God did create over a long period of time. Does Genesis One Conflict with Science? Day-Age Interpretation So far as why He should create.

Re: Time scale? a very long time indeed.

A very long time right? The universe must of been arround for a long time until it was just right for the galaxy and earth must be in the right place too. So creation weither with devine intervention or pure chance must of took a long time correct? I'm pretty sure that it is only human beings that ...
