Evidence for God from Science

Turgonian, You made several great points here... Adam's will was not bound; he was created perfect and with the completely free choice to follow or reject God. Since he knew God personally, he followed God and would have had a strong inclination to keep following God ... God would not have made a we...

Hi Fortigurn!

Nice to see you here. Makes me consider the possiblity that I may not be completely nuts after all - or at least I'm not the only one who is nuts!

Note to Puritan Lad: I like the answer Fortigurn offered for the questions you asked me.

Hi John, First, I am not Patrick. I'll ask him if he would like to participate. About 1 Chronicles 29:20 you said... The only translation you picked that out of was the KJV. First of all, I didn't pick out that version. All this information comes directly from Patrick. Second, The American Standard ...

FFC & John, Here is Patrick's reply when FFC flinched at the thought that Jesus is "functioning as God." FFC said, "I don't recall anybody in the scriptures ever receiving worship reserved only for God that wasn't God. Not prominent men, not angels, nobody!" Among other thing...

Here it is! This is in response to ttoews ' letter. I know many of you have been anxiously awaiting for it to show up :wink: I needed some help on this one. I guess it goes without saying that it makes sense to me. Please see if any of it makes sense to you... _______________ In response to a letter...

John & bizzt, bizzt asked... Who do you believe Saves you from Eternal Punishment? God or Christ? God the Father arranged it so that we can be saved from eternal punishment through, or by means of the Saviour He provided for us - His only begotten Son. bizzt asked... If it be Christ, how does a ...

Hi John, You said... The point is that even a perfect man (i.e. Adam) sins. Adam proved that a perfect man can sin. This is because he was created with free will. If he had exercised his free will in order to obey God he would have proved that a perfect man can be faithful and not sin. You said... [...

Hello Everyone, With all this 'intellectual stuff' going on I thought I would go to back to Acts 2:14-42 and observe what it was that the apostles were teaching about Jesus that caused 3,000 people to get baptized. I was not able to see anything they said that even comes close to suggesting that Jes...

John, Jesus came to deliver us from sin and in the process give us eternal salvation. If we do not sin, what are we being delivered from? But who says we do not sin? 1 John 1:8 says, "If we make the statement:'We do not sin,' we are misleading ourselves and the truth is not in us." You ask...

John and Everyone, I apologize for loosing track of who said what! But I think I'm now responding to something John said. I had said... I notice that Paul didn't say (in 1 Corinthians 15:21,22), "resurrection of the dead is through God . For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in God all wil...

Hello again John, In this case I had said... I understand Adam and Jesus were both created perfect and both had free will. The difference between them is that Adam used his free will to disobey God. Jesus used his to be obedient even to his death (thank goodness). Your comment about this was... This...

Hi John Byblos, I had said... My simplistic way of reasoning is that since the once perfect man Adam's sin is what caused all of his descendants to inherit sin and therefore death, the sacrifice of a sinless, perfect man was what was needed to perfectly balance what the man Adam lost. If Jesus was A...

Hi ttoews,

I looked at your posts back in January but there is so much information there that I don't know how to handle it. If there is something specific you want to bring to my attention I'd be happy to consider it.

Don
P.S. I appreciated your comments to FFC.

Hi FCC, You asked... Who exactly did Christ die for? And please be specific. I understand that he died for all of Adam's descendants who eventually put faith in him as their Lord and Savioiur. I understand that the particular way Jesus died (on a Cross) was necessary in order for his sacrifice to in...

FFC, I saw your letter after I sent in my understanding of Isaiah 43:11. You said... If Jesus is a savior and he is not God, you've effectively declared God a liar. It's as simple as that. Wow! I sure don't want to be guilty of calling God a liar! You then said... No man , however sinless, is able t...
