    Bible As Truth Vs. Intellectualism

    You have already judged Mother Teresa for doing those things; yet, you show no evidence that she actually did them. You are only doing what Christopher Hitchens did. He made allegations but showed no evidence. Mother Teresa bore the mark of the Holy Spirit. With all the media following her...

    The Triune God

    God is three persons in one. He is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. That is what I voted for. :) 1 John 5:7 And there are three who give testimony in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. And these three are one. The Word became flesh and dwelled among us - that would be the...

    Hell Is God's Mercy

    According to the Bible, Hell was created for the fallen angels (See Matthew 25:41). I assumed by that that it was created after Lucifer fell. Jesus spoke more about Hell than He did about Heaven because He was warning us to avoid Hell. According to Pope John Paul II, Hell is not a place of...

    Hell Is God's Mercy

    Hello Aspen, Is this your own interpretation of Hell? I do not recognize this as Catholic teaching. The Catholic Church teaches that Purgatory is God's mercy and Hell is separation from God. In Christ, Selene

    The Bible

    The problem is that Nomad said that God is not higher than the Bible, implying that God is equal with the Bible. I told him that God is higher than the Bible because God is three persons in one. The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. The Bible is not part of the Holy...

    The Bible

    "Breathed by God" does not mean that the Bible becomes God. God also breathed life into Adam, but Adam is not God and is not supposed to be worshipped as God. Nomad, the fact that you said that God is NOT higher than the Bible is already implying that God is equal to the Bible, which is incorrect.

    The Bible

    I did addressed it. You just don't like my answer. God is higher than the Bible because the Bible is not God nor equal to God. There is nothing higher than God. You were in error if you think that the Bible is equal in anyway to God. As I said, God is three persons in one. The Father is...

    Bible As Truth Vs. Intellectualism

    Below is a weblink about Christopher Hitchens and all his allegations about Mother Teresa. Notice that in his book, he accuses Mother Teresa of theft, but no evidence is produced. He did not even go to the police and report it. Instead, he wrote a book and got rich off it. All the...

    The Bible

    My brother, the people during those times are very different from us. When God spoke to them, He gave them His message, but He did not take away their human knowledge. How God spoke to them is a mystery, but He spoke to them through their history. Because His message is in their history, we...

    Bible As Truth Vs. Intellectualism

    I did not ignore it. Most of that information came from Hitchen's book. Hitchens is an atheist who hates all Christians and all religions. In his book, he claimed that Mother Teresa stole money, but he never produced any evidence of it. If he really had concrete evidence that Mother Teresa...

    The Bible

    God's message is hidden in Israel's history. TexUs, do you not remember what I told you as to why we do not take everything in the Bible literally? Do you not remember that in the Bible it says that the earth is being held up by pillars? This is why we do not take everything in the Bible...

    Bible As Truth Vs. Intellectualism

    [/size][/font] In the first place, Mother Teresa did not own any money. Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity, which began as a small Order with 12 members in Calcutta, today has more than 4,000 nuns running orphanages, AIDS hospices, charity centres worldwide, and caring for refugees, the...

    The Bible

    Nowhere in my post did I ever say that human falliblity tainted Scripture. In the first place, Nomad posted this statement below: As you can see, Nomad thinks that the Bible is equal to God. There are some of you who think the same way. Those of you who think that God is NOT higher than...

    The Bible

    Oh...okay. I see now. It's because of the word "but." The only reason I used that word was because somewhere in this thread I was getting the impression that God was the one who wrote the Bible. In one of my posts, I wrote that the Bible did not come down from the sky. God did not give us...

    The Bible

    If that was the case, then why were you so confused when I say that the "Bible is the word of God but I also recognized that men inspired by the Holy Spirit wrote the Bible?" Why did you say this in your post? Explain. From Nomad: So what exactly does that mean? You seem to be playing this...

    Bible As Truth Vs. Intellectualism

    Oh really? So name me ONE person who did the same as what Mother Teresa did. Mother Teresa was only one person who had no money. Mother Teresa built orphanages, hospices, and shelters around the world in different countries. No government was able to do that, and governments usually have a...

    Bible As Truth Vs. Intellectualism

    Actually, Jesus said it can be done. It is right there in Scripture: John 14:12 Otherwise believe for the very works' sake. Amen, amen I say to you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do; and greater than these shall he do. So, how many people do you know who owns...

    The Bible

    It means that the Bible is indeed the word of God. It is also written by men inspired by the Holy Spirit. In other words, the Bible was not personally handwritten by God and dropped from the sky. Believe it or not...humans actually wrote the Bible under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit...

    Bible As Truth Vs. Intellectualism

    TexUs, have you been reading any of my posts? I DID say that there is a difference between "human good works" and "the Holy Spirit working in a person." An example of "human good works" is when Bill Gates donated millions of dollars to build a hospital for the children in South Africa. An...

    The Bible

    No, I said that the Bible is the word of God, but I also recognize that the Bible was written by men inspired by the Holy Spirit. So, what part in my sentence makes you think that I said otherwise???????
