Evidence for God from Science

Further to this discussion: Gen 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake ; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; P...

Thank you for the welcome, BW. God still destroyed the city. Why? For the obvious reason....evil. He first separated the righteous from the wicked (Ezek 21:2-5), Lot & family from it. This is the structure of salvation, that a remnant is saved....a very common Biblical principle. Can you explai...

One of the most popular one-liners on Bumper Stickers, T-Shirts, and even Church signs today is "Try Jesus. If you don't like Him, the devil will always take you back." Sadly, those who make and buy these stickers actually think they are spreading the gospel message. Never heard that one ...

Is the Spirit - wind, breath, life from God? that gives life to... The soul - our abilty to think and reason, personality, who we are that in turn would give life to... the body - our earth suit - which mine is in need of overhaul - little flabby here and there... Would there or could there be a sym...

* Is hell relevant to salvation in that if you don't believe in hell you go to hell? Again, God is the final judge on who goes where and when and how. I do not believe that God sentences children to Hell due to Jesus’ own words, referring to children – 'for such is the kingdom of God.' Children bra...

Act 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Why didn't Paul and silas say "there is nothing you can do, it's up to God. Either you're in or out, sorry pal." No, they told him what the "requirement" was and the guy did it. I'...

I guess the question should be what does it mean to REPENT. In my understanding it means to "change ones mind". I think this is a close to literal translation from the greek. If this is the case then repenting is always the result of salvation. But repenting does not necessarily change on...

I read the question he wrote - Why do calvanist like flowers? Sing below in a whiny high pitched screach - like Tiny Tim on the old TV show Laugh In "Tip toe - thru the Tulips - with meeee!" Every time I here a calvanist say TULIP - I hear that voice in my head singing, "Tip toe - thr...

We are to grow in the knowledge of God, including His love that matures us. If we continue to mock God by our very life course, as revealed by how we behave, and treat others, we hang ourselves. If you are I, in this fallen state are permitted a spanking instead of a life sentence, then we would pe...

edit: I forgot to deal with the typological fulfillment aspect other than in passing. I have no problem with much of this prophecy being partially fulfilled in type in the first century. If you look up the qualifications Moses laid out on a prophet, one of them was that his prophecies come true. Th...

At the same time, one could argue that we are not in the real world at all. Again, what came first? The physical relm or the spiritual relm? If the spiritual relm came first, then it is the "real world" and the one we live in is fake but we have lived in it all our lives. It is all we kno...

Coming from the scientific view point, one cannot prove the existance of a desinger. However, direct proof is not necessary to believe something. We do know that the universe is endlessly complicated and only two conclusions have been derived: it was done on purpose or by accident. Experience tells...

Jac3510, what is your take on TULIP doctrine? The main thing I se wrong with Calvinism is a view on God's sovereignty that does not fit into the attributes of God as revealed in the bible based and discovered when exploring the names of God. It seems to take an unbalance view of God and overrates so...

I'll return to this thread soon as continue when things smooth out a little! God bless!! We'll read you soon! Take your time... Also Cook - what is your take on eternal annihilation - this doctrine, I have not yet found in the bible - what is it? Also regarding, "Jesus' high injunction to &quo...

I'm not sure why it would create a problem for religion? At least, not for Christianity. It seems to me the only argument to come up would be, "If Christianity were true, why would God create lifeforms on other planets?" But this is an argument of incredulity. Why did God create starts bi...
