Quote (Stu @ May 23 2009,16:39)Zzzzzzzzzz…StuartOK, opportune moment.Wake up Stu!

Thanks TK. Some good points there.

Quote (kejonn @ May 20 2009,13:19)*sigh* People still referring to 2000 year old mythology to guide their lives. You'd think that Jehovah would issue as many updates as Microsoft, but such is not the case.God does issue updates, but you have to be connected and authenticated. If not, then your defection remains, and corruption will work in you…[Read more]

Thanks TK.It is also written that through one man, sin entered the world and through one man, righteousness too.I also think that God put the two trees in the garden to allow for choice. Otherwise Adam and Eve would have been robots with only one choice, and that would be to love and obey God. What is wrong with that one might ask?Well how can it…[Read more]

That is an interesting one Nick.It is written that to be departed from the body is to be present with the Lord.I suppose we have to determine where the Lord is and is it LORD, or Lord.Also, this probably doesn't belong here, so maybe that could be picked up in the correct discussion.

OK Stu. Men are often right in their own eyes. We understand you dilemma. This is usually because they lack the experience of others and cannot listen to what they have to say.So your truth is that which you see with your eyes and that is of course extremely limited.Which by the way is the definition of narrow mindedness.

Gene, if I do not have a free will then this is God telling you that we have free will or choice, (according to you).

Hi Jeremy.I am not sure if you have read this, but if not, then it should be useful to you.https://www.heavennet.net/writings/trinity.htm

You say that if you can't see it, then it doesn't exist.So that must include baryons, black holes, radio waves, and Bill from England too.To actually see something is to understand it in your mind. Your eyes are just one way…[Read more]

But Stu, the process is still something. Laws and processes are not nothing and neither do they come from nothing. Nothing is nothing and does nothing. If nothing can do something, then it was never nothing to begin with.How hard is that to understand?

Quote (Gene @ May 22 2009,03:02)T8……….I tend to agree with Stu in His definition of true FAITH, requiring (EVIDENCE) , in my life that was the case, i was very sceptical of religions and needed my own personal proof which GOD has and still does give me. I can't give that to Stu or anyone not even my children. But scripture defines FAITH, as…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ May 20 2009,17:25)They appear to be false, but science is open to your evidence. Where is it?Yeah where is the scientific evidence that there was no flood and no God. Contrary to what some think, fossils form in disasters like floods. Living things just degrade, rot, breakdown, and disappear unless they are preserved in some way.

OK, Stu has faith that the universe has no cause.What a faith.You argue as being the only right one here, and when it boils down to it, your faith is that everything came from nothing.Why don't you take your profound discovery around the world and organise talks at major universities. I am sure that they will want to see a model as to how…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ May 19 2009,20:20)I agree completely with your analysis of religion.  There is hope for you yet.That is why I have a relationship with God and I belong to no denomination. I am not interested in joining a belief system of any kind, including atheism or even a system that calls itself Christian. Systems and institutions are effective…[Read more]

Gene.What you forget or have ignored is that he existed in the form of God and emptied himself and came as a man like us.If he emptied himself, then he has no extra advantage over us in this respect. So he came in the weakness of flesh and yet he didn't sin. So that we can now be like him. There is no barrier then is there?When Jesus came to us,…[Read more]

Again Stu, your belief in action and of course your belief overrides any evidence to the contrary.What a faith you have in your own bias and understanding.

Quote (Stu @ May 19 2009,20:20)I have many beliefs.  I have no faith position on anything, and surely something that is proof of faith would be an oxymoron!Oh but you do Stu. You have faith that there is no God.You admit that you have many beliefs and no position. Yet to say that there is no God is a position and a statement of faith. Because you…[Read more]
