One can say life itself is a closed system controled by God. He is sovereign. He ordains who will and won't be His sheep, He prepares the heart to receive light and He converts the the dead spirit into a living spirit. The system is set up for us to know good and evil, (light and darkness). We...

The word for charity is translated as love. The missing parts to the equation that physicists can't get are outside the physical realm.Their quantum mechanics theorum, for instance is guesswork. The spontaneous generation of life has them puzzled. They infer that their are as many as 11...

I think the "end of faith" is coming for everyone. For Christians, they won't need faith in heaven because that which had been unseen (God and heaven and their eternal bodies), will be a reality. For unbelievers, if they do not receive faith sometime in their lives, their fate will be sealed at...

I agree with most of what you said except for the words in bold. I take most of the Bible literally, but can also distinquish from what was intended to be symbolic. Actually I believe the world could not contain OR understand all that Jesus did, since I believe He is the CREATOR. To describe how...

Right, humankind and nature itself _ once perfect _ have been moving towards less order, accumulating more and more imperfections (mutations which are essentially defects). And the universe itself is winding down.

A book is composed of natural ingredients except for the ideas and thoughts communicated in organized sentences, paragraphs, with rules of grammar, etc. Where did the ideas come from? An author! They just didn't evolve. Likewise, life has order and design, it did not just evolve. It must have a...

@Romanov2488 A good book is "A Case For Faith" by Lee Strobel, a former atheist _ award winning, investigative journalist, who sought out to disprove God and Jesus but was shocked to discover the overwhelming evidence and is now a Christian. He also wrote , "A Case For Christ". "Evidence That...

Yes, and I do think those are critical, judgmental people who look for differences beyond those fundamentals and focus on them rather than finding peace and common faith. And they have warred against eachother too. We are passionate about faith. It seems any little difference we see and off we...

It all started with God, the Creator. He's got a monopoly on everything that is good, because He is the source. And hope is a good thing.

Depression and feeling like you're stuck in the pit of despondency and can't get out happens. A famous psychoanalyst was asked the question: "If you were so depressed even to the point of being suicidal, what would you do?" He said, " I would get my focus off myself and go out and help someone...

Iconoclast comes to mind, a breaker of images, and in this case Christianity and all that we hold dear. My Dad was an atheist for most of his life; though he was brought up in an Italian, Catholic family with seven sisters, he turned away from God/Christianity at a very young age when his Dad...

No, Catholocs and Prostestants agree on: 1. Inerancy of Scripture as divine inspiration 2. Diety of Christ 3. Trinity 4. Creation 5. Fall of mankind, original sin passed down to all and that we are all sinners 6. Substitutionary Atonement for sins by Christ 7. Heaven and Hell 8. Bodily...

They have the Holy Spirit who confirms His presense with them. We have a relationship with Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit. It is not just about knowledge of the truth, it is about a relationship. An orphan can read about their father who really love thems but was separated from them at...

I am sure about lots of things. Most importantly who Jesus is; He is God He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. That says it all. Do you know what that means? He is the only way to salvation. He is truth, not just meaning that He brought the truth and knows the truth - HE iS THE TRUTH. That...

Billions will be destroyed in the Lake of Fire ( which is more of an event - see 2 Peter 3:10), but not eternally, quickly! Hades and Death will be thrown in there as well. You can't burn something forever. There is no such state as an indestructible destruction or an imperishable perishing...

Assume - means to make and ass out of u and me ... mostly u. Adding false claims again ... misinterpreting and distorting ...par for the course! I wrote a book on addressing that very topic: "Hell ... If I Know". "Eternal Hell", (a traditional doctrine), has always bothered me. It doesn't make...

That was a one time experience 27 years ago when I was in a bus ride from LAX to the Fairfax District ( called Little Jerusalrm) in Los Angeles. I have never sensed calling to go evangelize Rabbis, never met anyone who had either. That would he a tough nut to crack. I would first have to tell...

Didn't know that. I guess when Moses and Elijah show up, things will change.

Non-Trinitarian, Jew, ... whatever? Without Jesus' blood sacrifice, sin remains. Even the Jew no longer has an atonement for sin in his belief system and therefore is stuck carrying the weight of his sins, with no peace or joy of the Lord. But they will try to break our image of Christ, they are...

Non-Trinitarian. That would have saved a lot of banter, I would have dismissed ling ago. You should state that in your profile. THE LORD sees all and our sin as well, but Jesus had taken on all sin for all time. I was like a dirty rag before I was washed in His blood. Let's say I had vomit...
