(waynemlj;35361) Can you prove the existence of God without referring to the Bible?Of course, it's easy through simple logic. Could there ever have been a time when there was nothing . . . ABSOLUTELY NOTHING?If you answer this question correctly, you have a solid premise to begin a proof for the...

Cain's wife came before Adam and Eve conceived? That doesn't make sense...Here's a better answer: http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/.../cains_wife.asp

The KJV has some pretty bad errors based on pressures applied to Erasmus and its use of the Textus Receptus. I'd stick with something like the ESV or NASB.

Thanks for checking...

I've already addressed this point. Maybe you missed it. Supernatural means above nature. Beyond nature, if you will. Science cannot by definition explain anything of that realm. Philosophy, logic, etc. can. But science will never avail you. It does. But we haven't gotten there yet, have...

You're very locked into the idea of causation, and a self-caused object being the only thing that could start a chain of causation. But you grant God the possibility of being self-caused, while you patently dismiss the possibility of the universe, via said theories about time, being self-caused...

(DrBubbaLove;34607) Pyros,Peter did the one thing Christ said would get him denied before the Father. Being denied before the Judge does not sound like a good thing. Certainly Peter believed in Christ. Had Peter not turned back to God after that night, are we suggesting what Christ said was a...

(Two;34579) Nice forums. I ventured into your blog. That article about the RCC a cult is the most outlandish thing I have heard. I'm not sure what you're talking about...EDIT: I guess you're talking about one of my member's blogs. That's not my site, though...

You're going to have to define "self-existence" more clearly for me, I'm afraid. "Exists in and of itself" sounds to me like it applies to every substance I can think of. Clearly I'm not understanding. However, in general, this sounds very much like a classic cosmological argument, which fails...

Alright. I believe the only assumption I'll be making is the truth of the Law of Non-contradiction. I'm taking all of this from R.C. Sproul's recent video series "Defending Your Faith" (which is based on his book by the same name).Here is my best attempt to summarize his messages.There four...

(thesuperjag;34562) And the Devil can also use God's Words to use his own twisted and wicked lie. And he is more wiser than all of us, He will repeatedly put the wisdom of God in vain. Actually scriptures supported Kriss's view to be truthful...Matthew 16:26 - For what is a man profited, if he...

Faith in no way contradicts or disposes of reason. That is not a sound premise. If you want to go into that more, I'll give you some great links on the matter.I can show you God exists with 100% rational certainty, if you'd like. I KNOW with my MIND God exists. The faith part has more to do...

(kriss;34459) thats an opinion and I dont agree many will follow Antichrist now you can argue whether they were true christains or not but only God will ever know this for sure for the delusion will be so great God must shorten the time or even the very Elect would be fooled so I think scripture...

(Lunar;34375) I see some of the outrageous things he says as a reflection of his lack of education. Scientists that have interacted with Mr. Hovind claim that it's difficult to even engage with him because he doesn't the basic understanding required to speak on the same terms.If you want to...

The Qu'ran offers a god who is not omniscient. That's a problem since God would necessarily be omniscient.

(Red_Letters88;34430) I would agree with this to a certain extent. In certain cases we see God giving someone almost NO other choices but doing his will.My favorite example- JonahBut this is a CONTINUAL fight to stay on this narrow path. It wouldnt be called a struggle if God worked out all the...

(Lunar;34376) Now, there's something I'll disagree with. All you need is a basic concern for the welfare of others in order to start formulating your own moral system. And you can object "But why ought you to feel concern for others without belief in God?" but frankly, this is completely besides...

(ibrahim``;34284) God the Father, you mean?Aren't we all the sons and daughters of God the Father according to Christianity if you think about it? Yes, but not in that manner. There are several ways which Jesus makes it overtly apparent who He thinks He is (i.e. the Son of God) without...

(Red_Letters88;34309) Free Will is still alive and kicking. We cant forget God doesnt force us into following Him. I disagree. God literally drags people to Christ according to John 6:44. The ones who excercise complete free will are those who reject Christ and God lets go to hell. The Bible...

(Lunar;34287) You're right, of course, but his scientific credentials have a lot to do with it. Kent Hovind has no scientific credentials beyond a high school level. In fact, he has no credentials at all beyond a high school level. He received a bachelor's degree in religious education from an...
