    "Pistis Christou" and Pauline Participation in Christ

    Why has the term "pistis Christou" in Paul's letters (Romans 3:22, 3:26, Galatians 2:16, 3:22, Ephesians 3:12 been traditionally translated as "faith in Christ" rather than the more natural translation "faith of Christ?"Granted, "faith in Christ" does seem to better fit our conception of what...

    Follower: I'd love to continue debating Pascal's Wager with you, but it's been requested by the administrators and the thread starter that we stop.

    (Christina;60460) There is only one God of all you can not pick when there is only one thats why three million religions can spring from a belief in God God has no religion men have religions Christina, you seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of the problem here. It is a problem of...

    (Christina;60430) What does Pascal's Wager have to do with anything The argument you made is Pascal's wager. That's what it has to do with it.(Christina) you started by arguing my point that you have 50/50 chance of being right A 50/50 chance of being right on whether there is a God? Possibly. A...

    (Follower;60397) If you pick Atheism, you are only a loser. If you pick Theism, you have a chance of being a winner. If you pick Christianity you have a chance of winning. If you pick Atheism, you are a loser. I could end my post right here. Let's try and make the problem even clearer.So...

    Ask An Atheist

    (Christina;60396) If you think calling some guys theory mumbo jumbo is disrespectful to you somehow you are certainly much being a little over sensitive. It makes a mockery of the person's argument without explaining why - poor argumentative form. I'd appreciate it if you refrained from such...

    Ask An Atheist

    (Jordan;60358) Could I choose to believe that? Yes. But do I know that 2+2=5 to be false? Yes. Really? You could, right now, choose to really believe that 2+2=5, to the extent that if God asked you what you really believed about the sum of 2 and 2 in your heart, you could answer "5" with...

    (Follower;60306) You don't understand what a false dichotomy is. It is not where you have only two choices, even if one of those choices can be further broken down. A false dichotomy is when the choice is presented as between two options when it is in fact a choice between many options. This is...

    What's to like about Sarah Palin?

    Sarah Palin seems to have been an enormously popular choice amongst Christians as the vice presidential pick for John McCain. My question - why?She's obviously not in any way qualified. Immediately the comparisons to Barack Obama come out, but it's just not even close. Sarah Palin has a...

    Does evil exist?

    (Jordan;59361) I will just say that some will never understand the bible in His perspective, but rather worldly perspective. I'll just leave it at that. If it's really true that some people have no hope of ever understanding the bible correctly, then whose fault is that?

    Does evil exist?

    univac, with all due respect, it's kind of pretentious that you keep posting these anecdotes for us in the "Answers for Non-Christians" forum. This forum is for precisely that - for non-Christians to ask questions of Christians. It is not your pulpit, and you don't need to force these issues...

    God died for his children

    (tomwebster;58631) I don't That's great, but it doesn't refute what I said.(thesuperjag) Actually it doesn't. It actually unbiblical... and certainly, I'm not the one either to believe in a man-made tradition. Why do you think Matthew 25:31-46 does not support the biblical view that hell is...

    God died for his children

    (tim_from_pa;58359) As for being tortured eternally, actually at this board we do not believe that. Speak for yourself. Plenty of people on this board believe that hell is eternal torture. I've seen them argue about it in a thread dedicated to that very subject, and insofar as pure biblical...

    God died for his children

    Why is it that the majority of threads in this forum recently have been univac posting threads to get responses from non-Christians, rather than the other way around?
