    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    The term Trinity as applied to the Godhead means different things to different people. And the understanding or definition of the Godhead differs not only among churches, but among individuals. That there are 3 persons in the Godhead is in dispute, with some claiming this, and others that. And...

    Why I'm Not a Theist Anymore

    There is sufficient evidence within scripture itself to convince those willing to be convinced that the Bible is trustworthy. Thus eyewitness testimony is entirely sufficient to validate the resurrection. Extra biblical writings are wholly irrelevant.

    Death penalty.

    Another aspect which we have all witnessed is trial by media. The term unbiased, neutral or dispassionate juror is impossible with the opinions and biases and prejudices of ideologies dominating the media. Think 9/11. Think OJ Simpson. Think the knee on neck case just recently. Think Jan 6th...

    Death penalty.

    In a world where corruption and vice, with bribery and lies, is rife throughout the justice system, beyond a reasonable doubt no longer is a viable benchmark to determine guilt. Let alone sentence the one pronounced guilty to death.

    Death penalty.

    How do you think Christians should interact with Mormons?

    Hence my belief that judging another by the creeds as proposed by the link you shared, is limiting the salvation of man and God's grace to a man made formula not entirely justified in scripture. In other words, like the PCR test is a faulty litmus test.

    How do you think Christians should interact with Mormons?

    I agree with your view in general, but do differ not only with my own church's official teaching on the Trinity, but with the Creeds themselves. While I fully accept the whole divinity and deity of Jesus, the Son of God, I do not accept the common belief that it is necessary to believe in the...

    I'm appealing to all of you,

    There are many churches to which none of the above apply. Including mine. Anything else you think our churches are doing with which you disagree?

    Why I'm Not a Theist Anymore

    If every testimony was identical, without variation or possibility of error, you would reject it the same as modern prosecutors would... It's contrived.

    What sort of assumption makes one think.......

    KJV Hebrews 1:3 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; You are trusting the fear and belief of Adam and Eve, that...

    What sort of assumption makes one think.......

    There's your context. Simple judicial requirement even in modern courts of law. Evidence of rape... Evidence of non consensual. God demands investigation in every issue. Witnesses. Testimony. It was never as cut and dried as you are presenting it. Even God Himself, before destroying Sodom, came...

    What sort of assumption makes one think.......

    Some of you have brought up some good points, others ignore context. For example. @Grailhunter What is the context behind stoning the raped woman? What is the context behind the warning to Israel that if they step upon the mountain while He's talking with Moses they be either stoned or shot...

    Why I'm Not a Theist Anymore

    For you obviously just a belief. I believe you have a mother and father. You know you do. But then your testimony is of little value because of personal biases.

    What sort of assumption makes one think.......

    Far out GH. You are doubling down on the very character assassination that Lucifer began in heaven and exported here. Can you not see that Jesus is God's Son and therefore the true express image in character and nature? That there is no difference between them and the misconceptions expressed by...

    Why I believe in the rapture.

    Those specifically named Israel that you reference, were so named as a corporate body because they were children of he who was named Israel... Jacob. A name that reflected overcoming. Israel at the time of Christ, the corporate body that crucified Him, no longer were believers, let alone...

    Why I'm Not a Theist Anymore

    While Christianity as a theory, and the Bible as a book, may be intellectually argued, defended, critiqued, and denied, refused, or believed, to which thus far this thread has limited it's discussion. What we have not heard is testimony to Christ operating personally and intimately in the life...

    What sort of assumption makes one think.......

    Noah knew intimately the details and dimensions of the ark. He knew how many animals were coming, and he knew how many the ark could hold. And he preached righteousness for 120 years by the Spirit of Christ KJV 2 Peter 2:5 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a...
