    Can a Saved man choose to be Lost?

    Brother Paul, Much to consider in meditation, but the good news is your evident hope and fervor in seeking God's heart! I sense the Lord wanting me to amen and magnify this, It all comes down to one word.... Love Not love as we've come to understand it, but Love as God has ordained it. Agape...

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution / Creation / Intelligent design

    Physicist, Here's the end of your comment. You wonder, "Now consider your competing hypothesis. An invisible being makes sure that only certain individuals of species are allowed to reproduce so that the end result exactly mimics that predicted by natural selection. " Actually, I wonder if the...

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution / Creation / Intelligent design

    Barbarian, While induction was the way early scientists worked, interest in what could not be seen led scientists, especially physicists and chemists, to develope a method called hypothetico-deductive. Here we build a model of what we think the truth of the unseen but interesting world might...

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution / Creation / Intelligent design

    Barbarian, you claim: "Hypotheses must be testable. And the supernatural is not testable." Why do you think this is true? Do you accept hypothetico-deductive science as science? In that methodology, hypotheses are not tested. Predictions, deductions from hypotheses, are tested, and hypotheses...

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution / Creation / Intelligent design

    This for barbarian, Thanks for the heads up on Augustine's insight. "Christian faith," to me is defined as faith that comes from hearing the voice of Jesus. As His sheep, I understand that this hearing will be a part of my life, and indeed, when I an truly living, it is by "every word that...

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution / Creation / Intelligent design

    Physicist, Perhaps you are aware of the scientific method called "strong inference." In this method, two competing theories that explain some observation are pitted against each other, and each is challenged to make predictions that are opposite those of the competing theory. Then, further...

    Can a Saved man choose to be Lost?

    Archangel, You posted, I'm kind of confused, why is it that people are so quick to believe things that may be counterfeit? Someone states they had a vision of Jesus and they automatically assume they authentically met Christ. Did these muslims really meet Jesus just because they saw a vision...

    Can a Saved man choose to be Lost?

    Archangel_300, Have you been following the story of the many, maybe even millions, of Muslims being saved through dreams and visions? INSIDE THE REVOLUTION by Joel Rosenberg reports. Also, the NDEA researcher, Raymond Moody, reports that when Muslims have NDEA's, they meet Jesus, not Muhammed...

    Can a Saved man choose to be Lost?

    Archangel_300 comments, You and I live a country where there is a church at every corner of the street, but there are plenty of countries where their entire culture revolves around another religion and not the gospel of our Lord. Rightly dividing words like "church" and "gospel," there appear...

    Can the Bible be understood apart from interpretation?

    See if we all agree with the following: 1)The scriptures are from God, and "cannot be broken." 2) They stress the value generally of wisdom, being the answer to the question, "What must I do to be saved?" 3) The scriptures declare their directives to provide such wisdom. 4) There are over a...

    [_ Old Earth _] Evolution / Creation / Intelligent design

    A colleague of mine, back in the sixties posted this on his door: THE ORIGIN OF SPECIOUS BY THE SELECTION OF NATURAL MEANS. It took decades of study of the scientific method, but I finally got it. Darwin had a lot of evidence for artificial selection, and none for natural selection. So to...

    Can the Bible be understood apart from interpretation?

    francisdesales commented, "[color=#FF4040]You asked Jesus??? How do you know He answered this? Because it suits your already-held convictions? This is not exactly a very good response, since I could say the opposite, that Jesus told ME that you are wrong..."[/color] Well, I have worKed to...

    Can a Saved man choose to be Lost?

    Archangel asks, "Do you say then that every man has an equal chance of salvation? " I believe, No, but every man has a better chance than they deserve. Those raised by their parents or community "...the way they should go," as well as those elect, or prayed for by someone interceding with...

    Can the Bible be understood apart from interpretation?

    francisdesales wondered, So you think God has abandoned His Church and it no longer is the pillar and foundation of the Truth. I see... Any Scriptural warrant for this "belief"? Or is this something you were "told"? I asked Jesus about this, and He said this was exactly the case. He said He...

    Can the Bible be understood apart from interpretation?

    The problem that needs fixing, I take it, is "How do we get the true interpretation of scripture?" I've read here four proposals: the Holy Spirit tells us what the scriptures mean, the scriptures tell us what the scriptures mean, the church tells us what the scriptures mean, and our...

    Searching for the truth

    Confusedgirl90, The good news is that if you go after faith and a knowledge of God with ernestness, you will succeed. But there is something called preparing the way of the Lord, and it's important that, "first in the natural, then in the spiritual," you do your part by learning some things on...

    Many counselors = victory

    I'n new here, and have adopted the name Truthlover, believing that the Lord wants us to use names which remind us of His purpose in our lives. I'm a professional scholar, philosopher, and scientist who successfully prayed to be made into a disciple of Jesus. Though I've been at this for many...

    Can the Bible be understood apart from interpretation?

    In response to all, In the interests of intellectual integrity, I wonder what the scriptures say about using the scriptures. We naturally read a history book and a book declaring itself to be historical fiction differently. So with a cook book, and a nutritional guide. What sort of book does...

    Can a Saved man choose to be Lost?

    Archangel wrote, "No one is ever going to come to the Judgment throne of God and say "I truly wanted you and desired for salvation but I was not chosen by you". Every single person that is judged by God and ends up in hell never wants Christ anyway." Well, what about the poor souls who cry...
