Lucky for you, then, I'm not a teacher.

Re: On the subject of the Tree of Knowledge...

PremoMD in reply to the original thought... This is a question I get asked often. If God is so loving why did He create a hell to eternally punish people? Why didn't He just put the fruit from the tree of knowledge good/evil up a little higher so sin would have never entered into the world? Why did...

It still does not claim homosexuality in itself is a sin. Giving in to it is however(I usually go with the theory that most of the time it isn't just a lifestyle choice, for reasons I will elaborate on if you want). We all have our sinful impules that we must combat. If the government chooses to ob...

An online journal?...as in a blog?

If it's as simple as a blog...I don't see any problem.

If it is more in-depth...I would need more explanation.

Firstly, let me strighten some things out, I don't believe I am a "God" or posess the power to wield any "Godly" powers. What I was saying is, I think the Universe should be considered as one object, to which we are all essential parts, like the cogs in a machine. "God"...

I'm sure if the well established Atheists that once frequented this forum read this, there would be plenty of answers in return.

Romans 14:13-15 Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way. As one who is in the Lord Jesus, I am fully convinced that no food is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, th...

I assumed it was referring to the fact that those which are damned will be eating pork(which coul...

In Dan's defence though, he's certainly not alone. The whole 'new age' movement is essentially this same concept that either "the whole universe is God" or "each of us is God"... It's very common among scientists who, being so intimate with nature, simply cannot deny how nature ...

I almost started laughing because I was thinking of how many people one could find that believe themselves to be the god of the cosmos. How many of these people could we find to "get involved" with to witness...that's the funny part...what would they have to witness to anyone? There is NO...

True, there's no proof that one individual can use to convince another. Proof can only be established within an individual through Faith. But there's plenty that anyone can do to see evidence. Getting involved with people of Faith that are truly walking with Jesus will provide ample opportunity for...

No, I said, "However, limiting my argument to a "normal" view of day to day life as a human, a few things which make me a good person are:" I.e. The belief space of my first statement is a super set of the belief space of the rest of my rant. Hence no contradiction. If you're go...

Really? So if you have children, will you not allow them to play outside, ride a bike...knowing they will hurt themselves? Knowing your child will one day disobey you and touch that which is hot and burn themselves, will you not have a stove in your house? Will you not have a set of rules in your h...

No, Doc. The main issue is how could God genuinely expect something other than what he certainly knew what Adam would do? If God certainly knew Adam would eat of the fruit, then the command (sincerely) NOT to eat of the fruit was nonsense. That's it, Doc. Because for God to really mean for Adam not...
