Quote (david @ Dec. 13 2009,17:06)Quote an ongoing act of vengeance, perpetrated by a forgiving god, as a punishment.I'm not sure how it could be an “ongoing act” of vengeance.  Those who do not want to follow the rules, are removed.Much like when some countries decide someone is incapable of reform, they are considered no longer fit to live…[Read more]

Quote (katjo @ Dec. 12 2009,14:25)LOOK HOW MANY SCRIPTURES LITERALLY CALL JESUS, GOD!Look at how many verses refer to some men and angels as “theos” and “elohim”. Both those words are translated as God/god.

Quote (Stu @ Dec. 12 2009,09:41)When you have a contribution to make, let us know.StuartYou need to be able to comprehend a contribution first in order to recognise it. So yes I understand your comment given the circumstances.

God is referred to as “him” and “he”.God and Jesus are “they”, “them”.I think Trinitarians in general need to learn some basic English when it comes to referring to the Father and the son.The Father and the son are not called “him” or “he”. That is simply bad English.

Your view of what scripture teaches appears to be more bound up in tradition than truth, Stu. Show me in scripture where sinners are burned at the stake for eternity and I will show you more than 10 scriptures that say that sinners do not inherit eternal life, no matter the condition of that life.You are simply regurgitating a Catholic doctrine,…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Dec. 12 2009,09:15)So you are claiming there was nothing before the big bang? That is brave of you.No, that is what your uncreated brain concludes.

Quote (Stu @ Dec. 11 2009,21:35)You would be right about that, logically.Why?  Who is claiming that?StuartYou are by saying that it is one of the possibilities.Your other possibility is that something has existed for eternity and that something is not God.In that case your brain is the result of blind chance.You are saying it.My brain was engineered.

Nice post WhatIsTrue.

Conscience is made up of 2 words.'con' is a latin word meaning 'with'. Spanish uses this word.'science' means 'knowledge'.Humans have a conscience, meaning that we have built in knowledge.It's a bit like the bios of a computer.Even without any recorded data, humans have knowledge.As we develop, our conscience guides us in life.Our conscience…[Read more]
