We can also use our free will to serve God and do his will. That is a choice too. Sorry if you thought that free-will was only for evil. No you can choose good as well. That is why we don't have an excuse for who we are in the end.

I admit that “The fool has said in his heart there is no God” is not my material. I got it from the Bible.

Quote (WhatIsTrue @ Mar. 05 2010,14:12)T8,Again, I don't begrudge you having a preference for one option over another.  Obviously, you don't subscribe to what I proposed, but I was only trying to show that there were more than the three options that you originally provided.  I don't think that we have a disagreement here.Yup, I got that.

It is easy to preach another Jesus. A person just needs to make up a person and call that person Jesus and then make any claim they want, because they made him up. But of course, that doesn't make it right.2 Corinthians 11:4For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from…[Read more]

Quote (bodhitharta @ Mar. 11 2010,12:29)Yes, Because it is not “Islam” like an across the board agreement in these predictions or there interpretation. I only stand completely behind what is in the Quran and what is in the Bible.That should in your mind, open the possibility that Islam's belief that the Quran is scripture is wrong.

Quote (Stu @ Oct. 18 2009,21:15)Money is a concept, not a material thing.Paper money.If you tell me how nothing can make something, then we will apply it to making paper money (pref $100 bills) out of nothing. We will also need to patent the method and charge a licencing fee to all who make something out of nothing using the same method.

You know EdJ, I might actually read your posts if you took all the numbers out.You built in maths lessons only serve to distract your message.

Quote (Stu @ Mar. 09 2010,16:53)the Moon cannot be described as a lesser version of the sun,It can in the sense that the sun is the source of light and the moon reflects that light. So from our perspective, we have a light in the day and a lesser light some nights. Same thinking with God, he is the source and the son is the image as taught in…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Mar. 10 2010,05:47)Now, do you have an answer to the question?All the new species that have regularly appeared in the fossil record over time. Where did they come from?StuartUm, I would have thought you knew the answer.God.

No. Try again.

Clever play with words, but it doesn't stop the fact that it is the fool who has said in his heart there is no God.Surely people will believe that there is no God, even if belief in God was non-existent. It would still be a belief that there was no God. You can't change that. It is a belief. You have faith in your belief. And you are evangelizing…[Read more]

No. Free will extends to God allowing people to break human law, physical law, and spiritual law. Free will allows men to jump out of aeroplanes without parachutes allowing the law of gravity to destroy them.God doesn't stop people from destroying themselves. He respects their will.

Quote (bodhitharta @ Mar. 11 2010,02:45)Actually, I didn't say these were my personal beliefs. Read the Post topic. The Quran doesn't have any of these things written in it so you are wrong in your accusation however the reason it was posted was to show that there are similarities.the reason I was put in the skeptics area was simply because you…[Read more]

Atheism is foolishness to those who are not perishing.

Quote (Stu @ Mar. 08 2010,19:44)And I like bees, so what is your point?Daffodils need bees and humans tend to dislike them. Grand Daffy probably liked bees, so it is kinda weird that they fell out of favour? But I guess mutations can explain anything. Hey bees migh evolve into birds. Mutations can explain that. Humans might become chickens.…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Mar. 08 2010,19:45)Shout that in Cathedral Square or Queen Street and the good people will rightly think you are insane.StuartYes, the gospel is foolishness to those who are perishing.

Quote (Stu @ Mar. 08 2010,19:44)As I have explained to you on numerous occasions, humans are not descended from daffodils.The common ancestor (Grand Daffy) of humans and daffodils.

Quote (bodhitharta @ Mar. 10 2010,10:27)Our name for the Anti-Christ is Masih ad-Dajjal, which translates from Arabic as “Anointed Liar” or as “False Messiah.”  We call him Dajjal, The Liar.  He is a person who is also a nation.

Quote (Stu @ Mar. 09 2010,19:54)And what does your blindness concerning the fossil record have to do with the invisibility of your Imaginary Friend?Any news on where the new species came from?StuartOh, the fossil record. A whole lot of bones that when clipped together show different and similar species from long ago. Then the imagination connects…[Read more]

Quote From what you said you have to see something to believe it, so prior to the ability to sufficiently cool and liquefy oxygen you couldn't see it. Thus to follow your reasoning, the unseen (like God) does not exist.Wm Well put.
