Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

So would you like to detail anything particularly notable that led you to believe the Bible had authority ordained by God?

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

Now I know I saw jlay in here and yet he has left without responding to my very simple inquiry. I certainly hope he returns to answer.

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

Here you go again muddying the waters. This is not about what I believe. How can you bear witness without providing an argument for why the bible has any authority? I would think anyones first question when being told about Jesus or God should be, "why should that book mean anything special to ...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

Yes, I dont believe the bible has any authority ordained from God. I believe it is a book written and conceived by men with no divine influence.

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

jlay, before we get into all that, can you tell me why you believe the bible to be the word of God? You keep asking for personal opinions, does that mean you accept them as valid answers to your questions? Well in your case you didnt provide any evidence, you just said 4 years of personal research ...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

Wow, so I take the time to thoroughly respond to literally every one of your points, you ignore them, summarily claim that my argument is "invalid because of a lot of factors" and then bow out of the discussion. At least make a an attempt to address the points I made. Thats honestly very ...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

I wonder if I am wrong for asking these questions. I wonder if God actually does exist if he is angry at me for doubting and losing faith. Are we supposed to just put our heads down and steamroll ahead with blind faith despite legitimate objections and questions we have. Why would God want us to do ...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

Personally, I believe that the writers of the various books and letters and poems in the bible were inspired by God to write about God. Some, like Isaiah and John of Patmos for example, were under the influence of the HS when they wrote. Of course being humans and writing to humans, they "put ...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

Sometimes people who think that have done "nothing wrong", have a hard time accepting forgiveness. Are you going to get back to me about my question of the bible being inspired by God or have you given up on that? Since it seems that ANY type of research seems out of the question for you ...

Re: Several questions concerning the fall and evil

You want others to do explain everything for you. nor does the answer is a two liner. I cant convince you if you dont want to be convinced. I wante...
