    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    That's one possibility. Here is my insight. People are not automatons, functioning purely on logic. People are emotional, filled with prejudices and biases. I have developed an axiom, when it comes to politics, everyone is biased. Most people are not deep thinkers. You and I obviously are deep...

    No. They are power seekers. Did you read my post where I explained how all action is an act of faith? One does not have to know it all to take the next step in faith to make life better. That's opposite from the scientific method, which is to develop a belief (called a premise or...

    Yea, yea. You did not answer my question about the JFK movie. Did you ever see it? Occam’s Razor is not an argument but a principle. To apply it to directions, the most direct route is usually preferred. The simplest explanation is preferred. You misunderstand me. I'm not refuting that only...

    Deuteronomy 6:4

    Nowhere in Scripture is any person identified as God, except YHWH, who we relate to as Father. There is no ‘God the Holy Spirit’ in Scripture.

    "The word was a god"?

    I see Scripture does not matter to your dogma. G’ bye.

    Spotting Heretics

    No. The Roman Catholic Church is the first Christian heretic in history, unilaterally changing a creed they earlier agreed to. See Filoque.

    "The word was a god"?

    Friend, the word father is not in the text. The significance of the juxtaposition of God contrasted with Jesus cannot be understated and is shown in many verses. God made him lord and Messiah. God sent him. God raised him from the dead. God told him what to say. Jesus has a God and said his God...

    Spotting Heretics

    Would not be the 1st time I disagreed with the Court. They are the supreme court, not the supreme being.

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    Come and see the evidence. Watch the video of the spatial relations and geometry experts from the university of Italy. There is overwhelming evidence in support of the existence of God. You only need to see it for yourself. This article says only that somone wrote the Pope, claiming it was a...

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    LOL I only said there are miracles. You are the one that is convicted by this, feeling the need to go down the rabbit hole of causes other than the one you don't want to believe in. Is a professor came out with an outlandish natural cause for something, with charts and graphs and delved into...

    It seems like you are ruling out the possibility of a supernatural cause until all other possible causes have been proven to not apply. And even then, you seem more biased toward ‘being comfortable’ in the ambiguity of not knowing. Your own mind is your idol, it seems.

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    You should watch the vid on the Shroud of Turin in the Evidence to Be Seen thread. The Shroud is a unique 3D image. The geometric scientists at the university in Italy discovered it is not one image but several images made through the depth of the cloth. Various changes in the orientation of...

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    I think this is the fallacy of secularism. Just because we can explain how an event ocurred does not make it any less miraculous. My wife recently cut her eyelid nearly off. Given the circumstances, it is a miracle that she did not lose her eye. I doubt a surgeon, with one swing of his scapel...

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    Not an assumption. Familiar with Occam's Razor? To recognize the existence of miracles but deny their supernatural cause is the basis for cognitive dissonance. Simple cause and effect. But I think you owe it to yourself to read the Evidence to be Seen thread. And I must say, if you knew more...

    Spotting Heretics

    Mary, not everyone has thought everything through all the time. Many have preliminary thoughts on things but can be reasoned with. I won't add, then there are Roman Catholics, but I think you get my drift. One thing has nothing to do with the other thing. If you want to start a thread on the...

    "The word was a god"?

    It totally changes the frame of reference. The reference point is Jesus being raised bodily, as opposed to spirit. The raised with a human nature is a red herring. Have a nice day.

    I’m in a strange place: very conservative, but not Christian

    Not so! Evidence are data points. An intelligent mind sees the mathematical function, relating all. Let me give you a working definition of faith. Faith is not beliefs. Everyone has believes. Faith is acting on those beliefs - even when evidence is lacking. An example of faith is the evidence...
