    What is the will of God?

    I started a thread in Focus on Scripture and I didn't even know about this one! Here is my definition: The will of God is that which God desires or desires to happen, it is what God considers the ideal reality, it is the ultimate standard by which right and wrong is judged, and the violation...

    What is a person?

    Danus, I am not talking about human beings specifically or God's personhood specifically. I am asking what a person is. What is a person? What constitutes as a person? What requirements must be met for something to qualify as a person? childeye, I did not realize that you denied my...

    What is a person?

    So in your definition the term "person" refers solely to human beings? How does this incorporate into your understanding of God's personhood?

    What is a person?

    Merely running with your definition, however, a robot with artificial intelligence would in fact be a person. I did not mention "self" awareness, but awareness only, running with your usage of the word "sentient," which means, according to Oxford English Dictionaries online, "able to...

    What is a person?

    So, a person is merely a being that is able to perceive or feel? A person is a being that has an awareness?

    What is a person?

    As the title to this thread may suggest, I am inquiring about the definition of person. What is a person?

    Evidence For God (I'd love to hear feedback)

    It was years ago and there was an actual need for her to be back at her home that fast. God doesn't do miracles just to show off His power. He meets the needs that people have. But, I doubt you will allow yourself to be unblinded by your rebellion. 1 Corinthians 1:27-31 ESV 27 But God...

    Evidence For God (I'd love to hear feedback)

    Are you serious? You are just making a mockery of this. Sure, it's fine to ask for some details, but you are being ridiculous.

    Evidence For God (I'd love to hear feedback)

    What you have demonstrated is no medical miracle. A miracle is, according to Merriam-Webster, "an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs." The "miracle" you provided has a naturalistic explanation--exercise. A real miracle is something that happens that cannot be...

    Evidence For God (I'd love to hear feedback)

    I never said that medical miracles are done by whatever I attribute them to. I do believe that, to an extent, the body does indeed have powerful repair systems. If you read the Introduction to Falun Gong, you will see that it involves practices similar to Yoga, an exercise system known for its...

    Evidence For God (I'd love to hear feedback)

    I could understand how you might deny WIP's miracle (no offense, WIP), but how do you deny someone being transported 500 miles? How do you deny the instant formation of eardrums in someone born without eardrums (someone born without eardrums would know)? How do you deny the repair of someone's...

    Evidence For God (I'd love to hear feedback)

    An example of a miracle? There was an evangelist that came to our church and told the story of how his mother got an ear infection and ended up having to have her eardrum removed from one ear. She was without an eardrum for quite some time. Then, during a revival at her church, she was...

    Evidence For God (I'd love to hear feedback)

    Evidence for God What could possibly prove the existence of a non-physical being in terms of physical, natural terms? That being's interaction with the physical. Miracles, my friend, are all the proof I need. If you listen to some Apostolic Pentecostal preaching, you will learn of some...

    Orthodoxy

    Who is to determine what is orthodox and what isn't?

    Orthodoxy

    What exactly is Christian orthodoxy? What is its importance? Does being orthodox matter? Is being unorthodox necessarily being unbiblical?

    Facts about the book of James

    Mr. Burger, Like I said before, works are the natural output of faith. This is supported by several passages: 1 John 2:3-5 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not...

    Facts about the book of James

    Works are the natural output of true faith; not works of ourselves but works of God. 1 John 2:3-5 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso...

    Help Me Answer These Questions.

    Mr. Pelvis, I have not yet dismissed the concept of the devil. For starters, I'm sure that our forefathers had plenty of reason to draw such a conclusion from scripture. Secondly, it is spoken of in the New Testament several times. Although many of those instances refer to an adversary, some...

    Help Me Answer These Questions.

    Mr. Elvis, I was here to answer your question. Regardless of whether the identity of Satan in 1 Samuel 24:1 and 1 Chronicles 21:1 is not who we commonly call the Devil and is in this case God acting against David because of his own prideful heart, a simple search using the "Find" button in...
