Sturt,First, what you regard as reality can be just a figment of your own self delusion and some extend most likely is.Second, One definition at dictionary.reference.com is that a fantasy is “a supposition based on no solid foundation”   You have already admitted you cannot prove what you believe which means your belief has no solid foun…[Read more]

Good!Good point!Your fellow student,Kerwin

Mike,I believe the debate about Philipians 2 centers on what the word “form” is referring to in verse 6.   I firmly believe it is referring to Jesus' attitude being the same as God's.As a result of that Jesus is not arrogant but instead accepts his role as a servant of God.  God created him in the shape of a human being because he is is a human b…[Read more]

Stu,As I pointed out your beliefs are a fantasy that you choose to believe in because you cannot prove them.  You cannot even prove that dinosaurs were once a living creature instead of some type of construct.  You cannot in fact prove that life is not a dream though you choose to believe it.That is the interesing thing about logical reasoning a…[Read more]

David,I actually enjoy philosphical debates as I find the stimilating to the mind. The evolution for or aganist the various theories of evolution is open to interpretation just like scripture. I tend to believe God is more interested in our correctly interpreting certain parts of scripture than he is the the evidence of what he did with…[Read more]

Mike,A female cloned human has no human father.  A male cloned human would technically have a human father but would not result from the fusion of a sperm and an egg.That is futuristic in that God has not yet chosen to open the way for us to clone human beings though some claim to have done so.In case you do not realize it not all human beings…[Read more]

Stu,I suppose that depends on what you mean by evolution.   I was actually speaking of evolution in the context of one “species” changing into another.  I put “species” in quotes because it is an arbitrary definition that is not even consistent as there is more than one definition.  I used “cat” and “dog” as opposed to two different “species…[Read more]

Martain,I saw no real reason to do so as I tend to agree with yours for the most part.  I could point out that the Jews have a mystic point of view which means that context is important for the primary point but not so important for the hidden meaning or meanings.  Take the fact that the Messiah was born to a virgin which seems according to c…[Read more]

Stu,As I pointed out you are ignorant about certain things and genetics seem to be one.   The frequency of a certain allele in a population of grey hounds is not the same as the frequency of the same allele in a population of Alaskan Huskies even though they are both the same species. Thus you have a case when the frequency of an allele in a…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ July 25 2010,03:52)Hi M, What if your dictionaries do not align with scripture? “Holy, Holy Holy is the Lord of Hosts”Is 6.3 etcNick,If a dictionary does not agree with the usage of a word in scripture then 1) The English language has changed, 2) The translator misused a word from the English language, 3) The translator…[Read more]

Stu,I may be confusing you by using two different types of arguments in the same thread.   I am using logical reasoning to prove that except for the fact that an individual is unable to prove anything except that they exist because they think.  From that point on the rest is assumed or in other words taken on faith.  This is important because it…[Read more]

Stu.You are rather ignorant of some aspects of Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.  Gregor Mendel did not do his famous study on genes until after Mr. Darwin came out with his theory.  The variation of the pangenesis theory Darwin, himself advanced to support his theory was wrong.  One of the adaptations to the theory that he argued is that chan…[Read more]

Stuart,As I pointed out I chose my God based on the desires of my soul and not exactly on what I had been taught. You could say I had been taught that it is best to love your neighbor as yourself and would have to agree with that. Never the less many are taught that and still choose differently than I choose. Other gods do not provide the food…[Read more]

Stuart,I am not going to use science as my point of argument but rather logical reasoning. It is quite simple that it is imposible to actually prove that a fossil was ever a living thing simply because with sufficent technology one can theoretical make a fossil that was never a living thing. Now if you assume that God existed then he certainly…[Read more]

Ed J.I have not heard the hypothesis you claim scientists have so I cannot answer your question. I know scripture testifies that all mankind descends from Adam and therefore we all have Adam's DNA as well as Eve's modified by the action of God and the Oppressor. I am convinced that Jesus is a human being just like you or me so what is true in…[Read more]

Ed J.You might want to know that there are different versions of Acts 20:28 and some state Lord instead of God.   That sounds like a error by an early scribe or early translator to me as God is spirit and therefore has no blood.Your fellow student,Kerwin

Stu,How do you prove that a fosil was actually ever anything different than a fosil.  I cannot think of a way since any proposition you have depends one one or more conjectures that you take on faith as actually being true.If you assume that God is the Clockmaker then all you have to do is point to the clocks that he made and human beings are…[Read more]

Nick Hassan,I going to agree with both those points you just made.Your fellow student,Kerwin

Ed J.God led me to read that chapter of First John this morning but what you think it means and what it actually means may be two vastly different things.   I am assuming you are trying to make the point that the Holy Spirit is a living creature.Asumming that the Holy Spirit is actually a creature at all, a questionable assumption, it would be a…[Read more]

Nick,I agree my finger is merely part of a living creature but Ed is acting as if he believes the Holy Spirit is itself a living being when he mentions blood comming from the Holy Spirit and science.From what I understand science has not really invested the spiritual realm and may even disregard its existance.Your fellow student,KerwinEdited to…[Read more]
