Oh, oops. 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 21

7 bags - 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64?

And what exactly are you claiming is born of the flesh in this context? If you are claiming that all of science, engineering and technology is born of the flesh then you would also have to claim that even a printed Bible is born of the flesh since it utilized technology, science, and engineering.

Deborah, I think I would disagree with the 3rd not which you've listed. The reason being that total depravity (in this context) seems to imply that God's grace is completely removed. It is only by God's grace that we are able to do anything good at all. If that is true, which Paul seems to...

Hello Dl, Regarding your point about free will, I agree with terming it as freed will rather than free will. I believe it is the most Biblical definition to uphold. It also goes along nicely with Plato's cave analogy in 'The Republic' :). Regarding your point about using philosophical...

Doulous Lesou, Thanks for taking the time to start this thread and explain your Armeniastic views. These views do seem to have much more in common with Calvinistic views than the Armeniasm I grew up with; however, I do realize that a lot of beliefs are simply classified as Armenian if they...

About 95% of vitamins today are chemically modified and actually do more harm than good. Rather than actually actually putting vitamin A, C, etc.. into a pill, a lot of pharmaceutical companies will modify petroleum or coal tar to make their chemical structure identical to whatever vitamin they...

Bonhoeffer: pastor, martyr, prophet, spy is a great biography if you're looking for stuff centered around WWII. In case you aren't familiar with him, he was a brilliant theologian in Nazi Germany who transitioned from being a borderline pacifistic to attempting to assassinate Hitler...

Agree with Claudya. If you all are waiting for a sign from God like a dream or vision you may be waiting for a long time. I'm not saying that God doesn't do that, but if you look through the history of humanity and at the Bible specifically, most of the time God seems to interject dreams...

I've read apology, although it has been a while. I don't think Paul necessarily took strength from reading Socrates. I think it is more likely that Paul came to his conclusions independent from Socrates. From a metaphysical standpoint Socrates held fairly similar beliefs to Christians, so I...

I personally believe in OSAS simply because God knows the all things and is outside of time so he knows who will be in heaven and who will be in hell. As a result, those who are saved were, in essence, saved before they were even born because they ultimately end up in the presence of God...

Pretty much. Their Bible includes our 66 books plus 7 from the intertestamental period. If I understand it all correctly, basically Protestants say that the intertestamental books aren't truly inspired because they aren't considered sacred by the Jews nor were they written after Christ's life...

Jesus made similar types of insults towards the Pharisees (Matthew 23:33). I don't know enough about the context of the pope's insults to support or attack his actions. Furthermore, I'm not trying to equate the pope to Jesus or making the claim that because Jesus insulted we have the right to...

I don't necessarily think that conservatives strive to enact laws based on the Bible anymore than liberals do. Sure, some of the laws that they strive for seem to line up with Biblical principles, but there are many Biblical laws, such as forbidding divorce, which aren't even a thought by...

Well, only a small area of the board was burned up and it was more than likely limited to the components. I will reiterate that it would be hard to determine what the IC was that blew, but it would be worth a shot. Machines assemble PCB's now. The technician will get a drawing from the...
