It gets a bad rap in scripture.Acts 17″ 16Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. 17Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with…[Read more]

That was pretty robust Stu, but it didn't really answer the question. It demonstrated some interpretations of scientific data on processes, but did not demonstrate anything beyond processes.The bible says God rested after creation. To me this says he set in motion these processes that do not require him to directly intervene in order for them to…[Read more]

Is paradise and heaven the same place?Not according to the aprocrypha. Some hold these books don't have any scriptural merit and maybe so. However, these books demonstrate what believers considered true at that junction of history.

In the end whatever results as the final irreducable “thing” is God to me. Even if the final reduction truly demonstrated a string of cyclical functions like the infinity symbol illustrates, then that collective is God.Thus defining God is the real intent of my focus.

I also don't believe in the “supernatural” in the sense that word is used.I believe that whatever is considered supernatural, if indeed true is actually natural but not understood.Now, if one means beyond or outside of nature or beyond understood nature then I would agree with that.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Dec. 06 2007,11:10)Hi, As Heb 1 tells us God has used many means of expressing His words over the eons. Prophets and angels have spoken for God and only recently has the Son been used. So to say that God has always spoken his words through Christ is incorrect.I dont mean that was his sole means of communicating. It was his…[Read more]
