I agree with Gen., do you have any older documents than the Dead Sea Scrolls or the New Testiment wiritngs from 90-150 AD which postulate these arguments? Scientifically speaking, the Bible is the most varifiable ancient document in the world. Here's the stats, with comparible other...

I mean call in a metaphysical sense. Good grief if religion were purely physical then there'd be no point in classifying it as spiritual! You expect God to work in physical ways? Why should He? He is spirit! He moves in our hearts so that we know beyond fallible science that He is there!

You have faith in evolution, you have faith in Science. I believe there is substantial evidence on which to base my faith. Creationism is a creddible scientific standpoint (I don't care what you say, it is science, just Theistic science instead of Atheistic science, and you cant say one is...

Im off to camp to be a counselor until August's end and then off to college. I don't know if I'll have time to come on between now and next May. God bless you all and it's been nice having some religious discussions with you all. I feel like I know you, though I imagine each of you according to...

Please give an example? The bible said the world was a sphere and that light was energy long before any man understood anything like that. It describes the water cycle perfectly. The reason it is not replete with scientific truths is because it is not a scientific treatise. You'd think that...

I have heard it said: "Christians believe in the beginning God... Atheists believe in the beginning dirt." I would like to note that the creation of complex molecules from nuclear explosions have the following characteristics: 1) They are the result of nuclear reactions from already...

Hey, our society is holding together fine and lies like evolution are taught every day in the schools (lol, cheap shot, sorry:) ). Well this is my last post for a long time, Im going off to be a camp cabin leader for two months and then off to Bible College. Nice meeting you folks, keep it up...

Sometimes it's a voice, sometimes it's a strong feeling, sometimes it's various electric like shivers up my body in affirmation of something, sometimes it's a direct answer to a question that jumps out at me from the Bible. God communicates in "various ways" (Heb 1:1). As fo the Chruch of...

I would like to point out to eon that explosions are always always always a breaking down of elements (nuclean chain reactions result in neutrons leaving an atom) and a destruction of matters (duh). I fail to see how in any physically possible way that simpler atoms became more complex atoms...

THe question of free will verses the sovreignty of God is a divine paradox. Man has free will, yet their decisions happen right on schedule with God's plan. He is the sovereign God and He will preserve His word. Psalm 12:6-7 says: "The Words of the Lord are pure Words, they are like silver...

On slavery: The emancipation proclaimation was based on the teachings of the new testiment. The movement of Martin Luther King Jr. was based in a strong belief in Jesus. The book of Philemon clearly states the heart of God for slaves: Onesimus was the slave of Philemon and could be killed by...

Atheism can be described as a cult... get over the cult thing. Eon, God is the only one who can prove His existence: and he did! On Carmel, in Egypt, on Golgotha! Those are historical events. Nations talked for years about the God who leveled Egypt! Jesus is a historical figure, there were...

Communication can be described as: "A sending of information from one party to another and a subsequent response from the recieving end." I pray, God answers. God calls, I answer. When I ask in the name of Jesus, Jesus listens to my request, presents it to the Father, and the Father answers...

I disagree with your conclusion about morals being means of survival. Morals are fundamentally rooted in wrong and right, righteousness and wickedness. I would ask how the following commandments implement survival: 1) You shall have no other God's before me. 2) You shall not make any graven...

Elijah proved God's existence on Mt. Carmel. Moses proved God's existence on Mt. Sinai and in Egypt. Jesus proved God's existence with the ressurection. I will pray that God will prove Himself to you with an overt sign. However remember that "a wicked and perverse generation seeks a sign."

A. How has Christian morality changed? B. According to the Atheistic phylosophy what is dignity? C. According to the Atheistic phylosophy what are morals? D. What place do these virtues hold in Atheism and why should Atheists adhere to them? E. If Atheists should adhere to a form of...

So, the reasoning is: with no external influence one would not develop morals. I think then we can all then conclude something external exists, no? Look at the logic: 1) without external influence man would not develop morals 2) man currently has and passes on morals 3) the origin of...

When I was very young I remember thinking this: "If it turns out there is no God then Christians are in the same boat as everyone else, however if Christians are right then they get eternal life but everyone else gets hell; why risk it?" Now I realise that that is a peurile...

Thanks for that GP... what I was trying to get at were the underlying purposes of the two. I saw that religions are founded from a revelation of some god whereas cults seem to be founded on the deception of some man.

Correct SA... morals are the law of God which He has written on the hearts of men as a testimony of Himself. All law is a testimony to Him in fact, scientific law, Moses' law, etc. When you do right or wrong, regardless of whether you think it's right or wrong, you feel in your conscience that...
