Religion, not just the Christian religion, or even your own religion, can be quite irrational. Except for the all-rational Deists, I know of no religion, faith, spirituality or what-you-make-have, that states that God can be reduced to a set of doctrines. I am not offended in the least :) 1.-...

Because we are discussing our ideas about God. The Mormons will ask you to pray and the truth shall be revealed to you. Catholics monks do a lectio divina, a spritual reading of Scripture praying to the Holy Spirit so He reveals truth. A Pentecostal will sing God's praises, asking God for the...

A person, in theology, is any rational being able to communicate with others. Is the Holy Spirit able to communicate with others? Is the Holy Spirit rational? Is Jesus rational? Is Jesus able to communicate with others? Is the Father rational? Is the Father able to communicate with others?

I disagree. If Jesus is a person, and God the Father is a person and the Holy Spirit is a person, then the Trinitarian doctrine would seem like a good approximation.

The Bible is not a book of systematic Theology, but the main source of Christian Theology. So the question lies not in whether the Bible contains the word trinity, or any definition for that matter, but rather if the trinitarian doctrine is a good model of the truth expressed in the Bible.

It is very common among people who hold a strong opinion on anything, be it politics, religion or whatchamacallit that those who disagree are either fool, ignorant or evil. I, therefore, call to submit the arguments to reason, because it is always a human mind who reads and interpret the...

1. Is Jesus God? 2. If He isn't, then why did the wise men come to worship him?

Th That argument has a problem, that the thief did not sin, as far as we can know, after receiving Jesus' assurance.

I'm seeing different perspectives and approaches, from the -for the lack of a better word- philosophical, to direct experience. For my, I'm going to add one verse James 1:27

Just an open question, without second thoughts or issues

I understand the kingdom of God not so much as a location or a group of people, but a way of acting according to God's will for the world.

I have to agree with Christina on this one

Well, I'm not one qualified enough to tell which translation is better than another, or what manuscript for that matter. However, the reasons you are voicing do not prove anything. Futhermore, they trouble me, as it's like the Lord could not save Egypt. God is not limited by cities, sorry but...

It's my understanding that there are no original manuscripts of the Bible. Translators have to choose among what they believe to be the most faithful copies. At the time of the KJV there were less manuscripts available in Western Europe. That, joined with the fact that language evolves in time...

As a former seminarian -even though no longer attending a Catholic congregation- I have to say that your comment is gravely insulting and misleading. The RCC does not teach that is OK to molest children.

Perhaps you could consider that a) Jesus did pray in public, and B) Jesus was commanding against not using prayer to show off how good you were.BTW I will make no pretense, but share that I believe you to be a non Christian, trying to make me aware of supposed errors in the Bible. Trust me, I...
