Evidence for God from Science

Well my point all along has been that the notion that the bible needs to be interpreted is pretty silly and is evidence that the bible was not divinely inspired. What kind of omnipotent, all-knowing God would have his message inspired in such a way that his creation generations later wouldnt be able...

Im using initiative just by coming here and discussing it. What better way to find out what the bible means then to ask actual christians?

Leviticus 25: 44-46 44 “‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath th...

Thats not what its saying. That is how you are interpreting what was actually said. You dont know that its hyperbole, you are just interpreting it as such

So the first point made that violence (beatings) cleanses evil is correct then? That is indeed what the bible is saying? I just want to make sure we are clear on that before we move on.

idk. What would they understand?

Not so fast. Why does the verse say that beating purge the inmost being? Why use the words blows, wounds, and beatings if thats not the message God was actually trying to get across?

Miracles by their very nature are beyond any explanation, which is why it is called a miracle, there is no evidence, just the outcome of the event. If there was evidence then there would be a naturalistic explanation of the occured event thus not making it a miralce. Miracles are also personal to t...

My concern was for the original poster stygian who asked if anyone had any information that would correct the claims that were made. So far it doesnt look like you guys have been very helpful to him so i figured by discussing them each individually it would help clear up the issues he is having. So ...

Well for the sake of the OP, lets go through each one of these and get to the heart of the matter and determine what was said and what was actually meant.
Proverbs 20:30
Blows and wounds scrub away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being.
What does this verse mean?

Look at the answers in any of the threads I have posted. In my thread where I asked why doesnt God perform miracles anymore, Amy says that her son had a broken neck that miraculously healed. I asked if she had evidence to support that and I am told by another poster that that is begging the questio...

No I am not a believer. I am disbeliever, a doubter. I doubt the existence of the biblical God and the divine inspiration of the bible. Now people may ask why Im here if I dont believe these things. Im here to try to understand why you believe them. As a former believer that used to have steadfast f...

Speaking on behalf of Christianity alone, whether or not God is worthy to be worshipped is purely down to your perspective on who God is. I believe God is a God of love, compassion, grace and justice who loved the world and it's center-piece (mankind) so much that He sent His begotten son to provid...

It's begging the question to ask why miracles don't happen any more (implied premise: there are no miracles today), and then when examples are given that undermine the argument (counter-premise: miracles are happening today) you defend your argument by asking for evidence for said miracle (methodol...
