Evidence for God from Science

dells, you assert that the verses you quoted debunk OSAS, yet you don't provide any evidence or explanation to back up your claim. Please enlighten us. It's important to read scripture in light of the rest of scripture, avoiding one-verseism, so I think the best way to back up what I've said here i...

You aren't taking the Bible literally. Neither of these passages say that the whole Bible is inspired. I do take the Bible literally. You refuse the clear statement God made in 2 Tim 3:16 - God , through Paul - because you seem to have an axe to grind. Fine. I'm glad we both agree that the Bible is...

The issue is not whether it is inspired, but what "inspired" means to Us, what it meant to those writing and what it meant to those reading or listening. So you are citing Tradition as the authority for Biblical inspiration? Very Catholic of you. Othwise this appears to be a very subjecti...

On what authority do we know that the Bible is inspired? The Bible itself doesn't directly say so, so it's inspiration and inerrancy must rest on the statement of some other authority. What authority? When I see the sun rise at dawn... - - - A lot of people apparently can't see the sunrise these da...

Here is a question that came to me which I did not have a clear answer on regarding the below quoted verse from the book of 1 John: 1 John 5:16, " If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lea...

Is that what 2 Timothy 3:16 really says? Yes, it really means what it says: all Scripture is inspired by God. Only the Old Testament had been written at the time that Paul wrote to Timothy, so Paul can only be asserting the inspiration of the books that already exist. Do you expect Paul to instruct...

The Bible doesn't say it's inspired? Then why are all those "Thus says the LORD"'s in there? Also, in case that doesn't convince you, there's also 2 Timothy 3:16. Is that what 2 Timothy 3:16 really says? Remember that Paul wrote his epistles before the rest of the nt was written. Thus thi...

Okay, to start I do not classify myself as a baptist. I clarify myself as a believer of Jesus Christ. Now that i'm done with that lol. What are your guys's denominations? I'm baptist. Okay now to my question a lot has happened to the Catholic church. But the major one I have seen is their salvation...

Amen brother.

Hi all, I was wondering about a few things regarding Catholics and salvation. From what I currently know Catholics either believe or at the very least, many Protestants think that Catholics believe that salvation is not fully based on grace through faith but on a ambigous combination of faith and w...
