Interesting post JA.I would like to add that a physical body cannot go through physical things (not because atoms colliding with atoms as moist think), but because of electro-magnetic force which repels.When Jesus appeared in a room (resurrection) he had a body or outer form, but obviously wasn't subject to electro-magnetism, (unless he just…[Read more]

Paul said that after his time here that men would introduce false doctrines even from our own number.So I guess that even some early stuff could be wrong.We need to (as with any writing) compare that which is written to scripture and Christ's words.My take.God the Father, his son, and spirit are mentioned. But compiling these 3 references into one…[Read more]

Yes that could be a consideration.We want to get quality posting in the Believers Area and anything that achieves that can be looked at.Although "Skeptics Area" would need a name change if that were to happen.

Quote (WhatIsTrue @ Dec. 08 2010,03:34)Great. What about my other two issues with the passage?1. When it says that “he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth”, is that a literal statement?2. What about ” them out as a tent to dwell in”? Is that meant to imply that the “heavens” are a covering over our heads only, (i.e. not something that the…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Dec. 07 2010,20:16)This seems to really be bothering you t8.  Perhaps you fear that I might be right.  Would you like to talk about it?OK, maybe that is like the pigs discussing culinary techniques with a wolf, but I am here to help you with your doubts.  Remember that doubting is the only honest approach!StuartIt doesn't bother me…[Read more]

Hey Stu, you certainly spend a large part of your life arguing about a God you think is fictitious. Surely within your own belief system there are better things you could be doing like things that you actually believe in.Whoever heard of a person dedicating his life to arguing about something that he believed didn't exist. Perhaps you do not…[Read more]

Not sure what your point is, but suffice to say that shaving your hair is hygenic in certain circumstances.And washing is good. Viruses and the like are caught on contact with certain body substances. Hep B for example can be caught from exposure to a carriers saliva.As for Jesus not washing his hands. He was making a point. The point was that the…[Read more]

Welcome betweenchristendomandjws.Interesting name. You don't need to explain it, it is self-explanatory.I think you can say that there is truth at each end, but what is important is not who you join, but who you know.BTW, we can't join the Church because we are the Church. The Church is the Body of Christ.

You screw around with words so much you neither know if you are coming or going.You are a blatant idiot.Paul says 'Celestial bodies' that are Sun, moon and stars.And earthly bodies, that are man, animals, fish and birds.What are you…[Read more]

That is like saying, can you give one piece of scientific evidence from a repair manual for a robot.The bible is a series of books about man and God with advice, solutions, commands, prophecies, teachings, and help.Of course there may be some evidence, but that is not the primary reason, hence why you do not see books like Spectrum, Light, and…[Read more]

Quote (WhatIsTrue @ Dec. 03 2010,12:26)T8,That's a great way to explain a scientific concept in laymen's terms.  It's too bad the bible doesn't do that.  For example, if that's what you think the Isaiah passage is saying, it surely did a very poor job of it.What I saw was you doubting or questioning the idea of out the heavens as a curtain” and I…[Read more]

Good question.Scientists say space is curved because it curves light.Hence if we think the shortest distance between 2 objects is a straight line, then it is really a curve in a higher dimensional universe. This gives rise to the idea that we can take a shorter route, i.e., into that black space you speak of. Hyperspace or sub-space as it is…[Read more]

Quote (WhatIsTrue @ Nov. 30 2010,05:08)For example, when it says that “he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth”, is that a literal statement?  Furthermore, what exactly does ” out the heavens as a curtain” mean?  Does that mean the “heavens” are a solid material that can be spread out like a sheet, or is that figurative language for s…[Read more]

Most sin feels good because when such things are done correctly, they are suppose to be rewarding.e.g., sex in marriage is suppose to feel good and outside of marriage it should (technically) feel the same, but emotionally different. Put it another way.Why would God make it pleasureable in marriage and not outside of marriage. No it is pleasurable…[Read more]

Great.

Cheers.

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Nov. 28 2010,04:23)T8……..Yes Jesus existed (past tense) in the Nature of GOD because he had the fullness of the Spirit (IN) Him WHILE HE WAS (ON) EARTH. Paul was drawing their attention to when Jesus was walking on the earth, not before that time. He did not say Jesus existed before he came to earth with that nature as…[Read more]
