The lack of response probably stems from the fact that the lengthy post was merely a string of unorganized biblical verses, lacking in cohesion, leaving little to comment on.  It doesn't state the author of the article and is lacking in explanatory introduction and conclusion.

Quote (Not3in1 @ April 15 2008,10:19)Maybe I will return, or maybe I will find out that the love of my life turned out to be a fantasy?  Either way, I love God, the Creator of the world and the heavens.  The doubt that has risen regarding his Son and even the writings of his OT will resolve in time.  I know his voice and recognize the peace th…[Read more]

Perhaps part of the problem stems from looking at the works of men, even inspired and great men, as the unadulterated word of the Almighty.  Perhaps we are looking too hard for literal truths from creation myths and allegorical sermons.  It seems natural to me that if we are born into flesh that flesh should eventually die, it is not a matter of s…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 14 2008,08:48)Hi cato, So your SENSE has become for you the ultimate arbiter of truth? Do any others share your SENSE or is that irrelevant?I guess it depends on how you define sense, for it has quite a number of different meanings.  If I take the definition as “a mental discernment, realization, or recognition”.In that…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 14 2008,10:55)Hi, It seems many now will only accept scripture to the extent that it does not offend reason.If all could be known and understood that might be an option.But much cannot yet be known.Reason must submit.Reason must submit to what?  Whose unreasonable views or scripture do we then follow?  Any cult would m…[Read more]

Exactly, you quoted scripture and the quote shows how that scripture defies reason. The very idea that children are unclean because of their parents, but one's spouse can sanctify her partner and then the children thereof. So sin is inherited, but faith of one partner can cure the others sin of unbelief?

To be honest many of us consider it blasphemy to say the God condoned and ordered the death of infants, is capable of mistake, has regrets, is jealous.  The Bible says these things, but my heart and mind both say they are false.  How could a being with all the power and all the knowledge of creation, be jealous of anything or make mistakes?  It is…[Read more]

Quote (942767 @ April 14 2008,07:16)I am basing my statement on the below scriptures:Quote 1Cr 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. You make a good case why many feel that scripture is flawed and not God's word but…[Read more]

How does it make it easy? I have the same obligations any man does, to honor our Creator and to realize we are all creations of the same being and so linked. We should strive to love one another as God loves us. I simply don't agree with the plan as written in scripture because it makes no sense. That we should love one another as God loves…[Read more]

How are you able to judge Him?Bad company..Once again you make the false assumption that we are judging the Almighty, we are not, we are calling into question those who claim the Almighty would consider infants wicked by virtue of their…[Read more]

Quote (942767 @ April 13 2008,12:45)Children are the responsibility of their parents.  God is not willing that any man should perish, but there will be that day when the open door will be shut tight.  Did God spare the children of the wicked in the Flood?So our lives and perhaps our souls are in the hands of our parents?  Woe unto those ch…[Read more]

Why do you seek to denigrate them?I honor them because they set up a system of governance by and of the people based on law.  They walked away from autocratic rulers who claimed divine and right and claimed God made all men equal.  They acknowledged the Almighty and set up a government that stepped away from the abuses of state religion.  They ma…[Read more]
