Re: Women in church

1. Women didn't have equal status is Jewish society in Jesus' time. It was a male dominant culture and It was considered a taboo for women to speak out in public. Paul kind of reiterates this when it came to church. 2. Most women were uneducated even to the point of not being educated in reading of ...

Re: Despite objections,why the Gap Theory is true.

I see Philip discussing you, only as far as referring to you believing in certain things he's disagreeing with. I see you making the same mistake that BavarianWheels made, when I called him a judaizer. I don't see any ad hom attacks by Philip. I see him holding your feet to the fire, with your view...

Re: Despite objections,why the Gap Theory is true.

Im replying out of mutual respect for you Byb. Because of what you said. In very plain words, I haven't given up on theism. I believe in God and I also follow evidence to whatever conclusion it may lead. If that says the universe was not actively designed by God, so be it. I don't know where that pu...

Re: Despite objections,why the Gap Theory is true.

And for the record you have managed to not engage in the argument but has turned this into all about me. Like every other time you do when I try to engage in any form of argument. I just don't get you sometimes. You act like a Bible thumper more than anyone else. You don't argue; you preach. I am ju...

Re: Despite objections,why the Gap Theory is true.

Phil, I'm sorry I'm not omniscient like you. I don't have all the answers and I don't have everything neatly lined across that confirms whatever I would like to believe to be absolutely true no matter how I reach there. I have my struggle, its an honest one. As for my position, I have made it abunda...

Re: Despite objections,why the Gap Theory is true.

Btw guys. Really there is nothing new that I am bringing to the table. A while back K and I had almost the same discussion. One that I tremendously enjoyed and although we didn't agree it made me think and rethink. However at this moment, everything I have written is a rehash of that. This is what I...

Re: Despite objections,why the Gap Theory is true.

So you don't believe that God created the universe and earth? The earth took form through unguided forces? I think I made that clear already. So how do you account for the unbelievable amount of fine-tuning of the universe? Multiverse; just plain luck? How do you account for the unbelievable amount...

Re: Despite objections,why the Gap Theory is true.

Genesis 1 King James Version (KJV) 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. In the beginning God "CREATED", not "randomly assembled". This seems to contradict your view. Do you really believe that all those fine-tuning laws that govern the universe were just rand...

Re: Despite objections,why the Gap Theory is true.

First off, I'm not arguing for evolution. I'm assuming evolution, for the sake of the argument. In other words, I'm trying to put myself in the shoes of someone who believes in evolution, so I can try to understand what you mean. With that, you said: I wouldn't say that God created evolution(again,...

Re: Despite objections,why the Gap Theory is true.

Most importantly, Neo does not address how God can initiate something He doesn't fully know the outcomes of (and hasn't always known them), or how there can be any randomness from this - from GOD'S view. Or how He is not sovereign over all things. Or how evolution could have had available the compo...

Re: Despite objections,why the Gap Theory is true.

In light of the fact that you believe in God, could you explain what you mean? Don't you believe that God ultimately set up the mechanisms that allow evolution to happen? Edit: In other words, if one believes in evolution, and that God is the creator and sustainer, then one believes that God guided...
