If man can make choices apart from God, then is God not the Creator of all things?

Where believers of free will are often accused of being "will worshipers" because they argue that they have power to think on their own apart from God, believers of determinism are often accused of believing that men are just "robots" because they argue that God controls everything the man does...

Do you think that God created time? or perhaps the law of time is His attribute?

I once went on a canoeing trip down a river with my younger brother. Being inexperienced, we steered our canoe into a low hanging tree. Upon backing out and continuing our journey on the straight and narrow, our boat had filled with spiders from the tree. This is an exaggeration, but there were...

The poll is closed, but I would've voted 'No; disagree'. I would deny that any piercings for either gender is fully accepted, but fully accepted by whom? In a small group of artists, it may be fully accepted. Relative to the entire world, all it takes is one person to disagree, and it is no...

People have no power over Jesus.
