(univac;54996) How did you get this from what I said "there is nothing bad about a baby's death"?????? I stated that it was not because of a personal rejection of God that babies die in childbirth, and that this was not an evil that had anything to do with mankind's choices. Your only response...

(univac;54757) 1 No its because they go to God they are sinless. I hope you are not suggesting that there is nothing bad about a baby's death because it will go to heaven anyway.(univac) 2 One who is born blind and deaf can't see corruption or hear corruption can they? Again, I hope you are not...

So when babies die in childbirth, it's because the baby "didn't come to God?" When a person is born with a horrible defect, it's because he "didn't come to God?" Plagues and earthquakes happen because we "don't come to God?"You can't attribute every evil to mankind's choices.

(verzanumi24;54531) And up until now I refrained from quoting any scripture to you, because I wanted to reason God's truth to you, in my own words. I think I much preferred that.(verzanumi24) The difference between someone who is being called by God and one that is not, is that the one who is...

(verzanumi24;54472) Death does not change one's attitude; it just means that is what we deserve. God has forgiven us of our sins, through the death of His Son Jesus, but we have to accept that sacrifice. But again, there is no reason why Jesus had to be sacrificed in order for our sins to be...

(verzanumi24;54427) Simply forgiving us would not change our attitude, anymore than if I forgive someone doing something against me.Sin has a price, and that price is death along with everything that comes with it before we die, so believe it or not, or understand it or not, this is the way it...

Why did God have a "chosen people," if he was just going to extend salvation to everyone later anyways? What did the Jews do to deserve to be his "chosen people?" Why did only they receive the Abrahamic covenant and the law? Doesn't it seem strange that God would be so infatuated with one nation...

(verzanumi24;54386) Because the wages for sin is death; someone had to pay that penalty...if not us, then someone who was who's life values more than all human beings put togerther. Who else could pay this penalty other than God Himself. If we paided for our sin, then we would not be worthy of...

(verzanumi24;54352) But God’s love is directed towards the individual. God’s love is self sacrificing; He loves us so much that He was willing to come in the form of a human being and die for us, in order to save us from eternal death. That's another thing that confuses me. Why did God need to...

(verzanumi24;54333) I hope I was able to answer your question. Well, it did clear up the bit about it being man's fate to rule the universe. Thank you!As for the question of why God would concern himself with creation, however, I am still confused. God clearly existed before man, and he was...

(verzanumi24;54300) Now to answer your question, if you have not already done so to avoid reposting,read my response to Shornaal when he made this ststement,"Another question I used to ask myself is what right does he have to meddle with our lives and judge us?" Well, aside from the statement...

(Mighty Bear;54255) We call God our Father because that's what He is a father and we are His children. That still doesn't answer the question, though.The question is why God would feel the need for children. Parenting is an act of men, not Gods. What would make God think that he needed children...

(Mighty Bear;54243) Maybe He wasn't content without it and we wouldn't be here without it.Revelation 21:7 KJV He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.John 16:26-27 ESV In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will...

(Alpha and Omega;54108) Like evolution having nothing to do with the big bang. God's motivation for creation has nothing to do with our pursuit for salvation. But the pursuit of salvation is not the entirety of Christian theology.(Alpha and Omega) Also, I think it has been explained what the...

(Alpha and Omega;54101) Asking questions that you know nobody has an answer to are pointless thus silly. The question you ask has only one answer. Speculation. I actually didn't know that, no; I expected that well-versed Christians would have attempted to answer it. But if it is canonical that...

(Alpha and Omega;54093) Which scientific observations does the Bible conflict with? The ones from the beginning of the thread that provide incontrovertible evidence of evolution, both on the micro and macro scale.

(Alpha and Omega;54017) Tell me Lunar, If I gave you an answer the best answer anyone could give you would it satisfy you? Would you then turn to God? Depends how good the answer was. Most likely, no, I don't think this particular point could convince me. But if a satisfactory answer could be...

(thesuperjag;53983) Yea, those scriptures itself defeat the theory of Evolution. If you are a biblical literalist, then yes, that would settle the matter. However, does it not strike you as odd that the inerrant truth seems to so greatly conflict with what we observe in the world? Is it believed...

(verzanumi24;53912) We even see this often in the way we relate to certain substance. We often talk about the drug problem, when it’s really human beings that have a problem with drugs, for example. The problem is always out side of us rather than the problem being caused by our way of thinking...

(Alpha and Omega;53897) This is another problem. That to me is a huge cop out on evolutions part. Are statements about, say, the first-century Roman Empire "cop-outs" because we've never directly observed them?(Alpha and Omega) How many thousands of animals have short life spans and should not...
