That is good Stu. Did the pot and kettle come from nothing or were they created?And if they were created, why?

Quote (Stu @ Sep. 25 2010,21:59)OK. Sorry I bothered you with an attempt at intelligent conversation.StuartYou may have attempted intelligent conversation, but it is the fool who says there is no God. However, free will means that people can choose to be foolish if they want.

Quote (Stu @ Sep. 25 2010,20:02)Why does your god not intervene to stop atrocities?Free will. But free will also comes with a high price. Responsibility. In the end, it is why we will all be judged. Some to eternal life and others will be shamed.

Quote (Stu @ Sep. 25 2010,14:57)Of course the real explanation for these examples of poor engineering is that natural selection recycles old things and adapts them to new functions, getting stuck because it has to make do, it can never go back to the drawing board.Sorry Stu. Mother nature has the IQ of zero. It can't figure out anything. All that…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Sep. 25 2010,13:37)Great list there JustAskin of disagreements that have resulted in past christian schisms.  The full list is massive, of course, and the events have left us with 39,000 disagreeing denominations (and counting).  Which one do you think the Judeo-christian god believes in?I'm going for the Amish. I think they are the o…[Read more]

Anyway, did you hear that Hawking put out a new book. It's about time.

And remember this summer to slip slop slap.Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen, and slap on a hat.If you want to go the extra mile then you can also slide on some sunnies and seek shade.

Quote (bodhitharta @ Sep. 16 2010,15:21)Quote exfoliation without moisturization is useless. Wow! I will tell you that I have never thought about that, many times when I exfoliate I do not moisturize and I should be doing that.Thanks!If you moisturise too much, then your skin expects moisture to be applied and works less to produce natural…[Read more]

Maybe a coincidence, but it does make you think when you see that the Antichrist's number of his name equals 666 and the true Christ (Jesus) is 888.Especially when man was made on the 6th day and the Man of sin is 666. We also know that 8 has special significance, in that 8 people were saved in all during the first tribulation, (flood).

There are some interesting patterns in Greek and Hebrew gematria and you cannot really change the way it works because the number system is built in.In Greek we have alpha = 1, beta = 2, and up to omega which = 800. So you can't alter the outcome. The only manipulation you can implore is to combine the words you want. So if a word doesn't add up…[Read more]

It was “I don't know” wasn't it?Therefore you don't know if God exists or not.That's it isn't it?You should make the statement, “I don't know if there is a God or not”.We are waiting for that statement because this is what it has all come down to for you.You can say it now in the next post…..Then after your admission, we can move onto something…[Read more]

Gene. You are teaching that will is the product of nature.Yet Christ who being in the form of God emptied himself and came in the form of man.Your idea suggests that Christ's will was the result of either nature.So his divine nature willed to empty himself and his flesh nature willed to obey God.I don't hold to your thinking. I believe that will…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Sep. 21 2010,00:57)T8……….Do you (really) believe GOD Changes our Hearts and therefore Changes our Desires and or WILLS?.

Do you (really) believe He is the Potter and we the Clay, and He does with us as He so…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Sep. 19 2010,12:03)T8……….A WILL can NOT be a WILL if It is NOT (INFLUENCED)> to say possesses a “FREE WILL” is an OXYMORON, It simply can not be a WILL if IT is FREE of everything. What many do is mistake our (LIBERTY TO EXERCISE) OUR CAPTIVATED OR INFLUENCED WILLS WITH US POSSESSING A “FREE” WILL (IN) US. Do you see…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Sep. 19 2010,12:03)T8………No I am not free to Sin because the Spirit (causes me to think differently) I would never be “FREE” to SIN” that would go against my New Nature i recieved from GOD,Gene, are you not aware that even though we can be led by the Spirit and we can also choose to do that which our flesh…[Read more]

Gene.Are you free to choose to sin or to be led by the Spirit?If so, then that is free will right there. You are free to do either because they are both options for you.If we are not free to choose either, then neither can be we held accountable for doing either and that notion renders a lot of scripture as useless because much scripture requires…[Read more]

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Sep. 15 2010,02:53)FREE imply s FREEDOM of ANYTHING.Free actually means that we are able to make choices among a given set of options. It doesn't imply you can do anything.e.g., I may not be free to live in a million dollar house or free to travel to Europe because I may not have enough money.But if i have $800 dollars, I am…[Read more]
