    Is the Name of God "Yehovah" or "Yahweh"?

    From AI: "Yahweh" and "Jehovah" are both Latinized transliterations of the Tetragrammaton (YHWH), the Hebrew name for God in the Old Testament. The key difference lies in the vowels used, as ancient Hebrew didn't have written vowels. "Yahweh" is a more accurate attempt to pronounce the name...

    Did Jesus inherit sinful flesh nature?

    Scientifically, you may need to first understand how to plant an egg to clone a lamb. Technically, "another Adam" can be cloned with original genetics then planted to a human to give birth to.

    What do you think of this apologetic reasoning?

    For humans to fully understand God is more or less like for ants to fully understand human anatomy. The focus of NT is rather to believe in Jesus to be saved, instead of having a full understand of God. Though God will reveal Himself (i.e., His Trinity) to those who can stay closer to Him. The...

    OBLITERATE buddism! [TINY ""MEGA""THREAD]

    Buddhist cultivation is more about a philosophy using a very confusing lauguage, such as the concept of "form is emptiness, emptiness is form", that is "everything is nothing and nothing is everything" etc.. At the end it leads people to the exploring of the spiritual realm which is actually...

    Is the Soul Real? A Neurosurgeon Makes the Case [Sean McDowell Show]

    The big picture is that the Tree of Life is hidden from the reach of humans. Humans have no way to fully discover the truth of soul. To me it's like a clustered computer system. You can't possibly speculate how the parallel system works unless you go to the backup site to experience it. The only...

    Law of God/Moses/Christ/the Spirit

    I think that it's better start with the big picture of God's plan. God is to build a Heaven (an eternity) where He can live with angels and humans forever. In this heavenly land all three parties will be highly satisfactory (no one gets hurt). God is completely sin-compatible. To a certain...

    Why Protestant churches dont keep the Sabbath.

    Historically (apostlically) Lord's Day is on Sunday, such that Jewish Christians can observe Sabbath on Saturday and attend church on Sunday. Theologically, covenants can have overlapping effects and will not fully written off even when a New Covenant is in place. To the gentiles, old covenant...

    What do you think of this apologetic reasoning?

    God "shows" His Trinity to the chosen eyewitnesses. It may not be that "humans came up" with the idea. The perception and knowledge of the apostles may not be the same as how we perceive. A chosen prophet such as David can thus put up the verse like "the Lord of my Lord..." (So is Isaiah, as...

    Unorthodox arguments

    Authentication follows a pattern and for a reason. A legit first hand eyewitness is a first century Jew and a Christian at the same time. Nothing needs to be added to the Scripture later on.

    God is not fair

    Such that a fair Final Judgment can be carried out. Nothing is unfair if you can grasp the big picture.

    God is not fair

    In contrary, God is an absolutely fair and just God. Favorism won't necessary make one a bad judge. God's affection has little or nothing to do with His jurisidiction. Law and Covenants are an open standard, followed by a fair judgment to everyone. The Judgment of Law is an fair and objective...

    The Athiest Asks - v2 (idea by Rookie/Soldiers)

    Satan and his horde are hiding behind human education. They plague our education system to get humans brainwashed. All histories are from books, as that's the only way historical events and figures are conveyed among humans from generation to generation. The methodology of conveying history also...

    Foreknowledge and Time

    Ephesians 1:4 (NIV) For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. It's Jewish writing practice from the perspective of God's absolute sovereignty. God foreknew who would be saved at the end, no doubt. However if we are saved only because God...

    Heb 2:3, 4 the end of miracles

    The author is rather more likely to be Paul who is a renowned Pharisee but not welcome by the Pharisaic authority which controls Judaism and subsequently the Jews back then. This forces Paul to go anonymous or hiring an assistant writer. Hebrews 2:4 (NASB) God also bearing witness with them...

    Evolution+Deeptime question

    The contradiction lies on whether humans have a soul or not. If yes then evolution must be false, unless scientists provide an explanation on how a soul is evolved from. While an explanation is more or less a belief, as pointed out above. :Agsm
