Divine Revelation vs. Satan's Trickery
Why would there be living prophets if all the Word of God that we need is contained in the Bible? Do you feel that God delivers new messages for new cultures as they develop? -

Homosexuality in Christianity
I think it's a valid point. If it's a sin to have sex out of wedlocked, and if wedlock is only permitted between an adult man and woman, then it's case closed. However, I'm not sure that an adulturer is any less of a sinner than a homosexual, and I don't know of many adulturers, even repeat... -

Divine Revelation vs. Satan's Trickery
Once when I was young and fasting a lot (read: poor and almost starving), I had nothing much to do but read a Gideon's bible in my hotel room. I read the Bible a LOT and it really started to fill my mind. After a couple weeks of this, I had a dream that I think would stand right up there with... -

God Lives vs. Literalism
Again, I think your interpretations of the Bible are outstanding. To me, SIN is a list of the things that most strongly attach us to ourselves and to each other, and serve an impediment to serving God with a clean conscience. However, you are giving a lesson about the Rich Man statment that I... -

God Lives vs. Literalism
So you believe we are free to interpret the Bible as we see fit, depending on particular circumstances? I take it you would also say that Adam and Eve and certain other parts of the Bible are metaphor or parables, and not literally true? -

God Lives vs. Literalism
This is the thing I'm having trouble with. I can't see how the passage in the Bible supports the idea that Jesus was just testing the man. The statement itself looks pretty simple: "Sell your stuff, or never see heaven." There are 3 possibilities that I can think of: 1) he was talking to one... -

OIC I'll search this forum a bit; I bet there's been lots of posts about the trinity already. :) -

God Lives vs. Literalism
I like your explanation very much, and I think that's a sensible interpretation of what Jesus said; I totally agree that attachment to things can interfere with a sense of what's right or a willingness to act even if it means some sacrifice. However, how can I be sure that it wasn't literal... -

God Lives vs. Literalism
I'll probably make another thread about this, but this is also one of my questions. If Jesus is God, then that sentence means that God is the mediator between God and men. That makes me feel a little confused. Am I misunderstanding? -

God Lives vs. Literalism
Wow, guys! Thanks for your many thoughtful answers in just one day. Food for thought, for sure. I have a couple related questions, and then I'm probably done with this idea. I wonder to what degree some of Jesus' words were meant for a specific audience (i.e. the ones he physically said them... -

God Lives vs. Literalism
Hi, guys. I'm not Christian in a churchgoing sense, but I'm not an atheist either. I have maybe half a dozen questions I really want to get answers on, since most of my ansers are drawn from reading the Bible rather than talking to real-live Christians. One thing that bothers me about...
