Excellent point! I believe YECs should keep the same thing in mind, in addition to realizing that none of our interpretations are infallible and we should not cling to them so stubbornly.

Hmm, as many times as I hear this statement, it never makes any more sense to me. :) Throw in words and phrases like "inevitably" and "reasonable to conclude" then I have to start wondering how people define these words and phrases because it appears, at least to me, that they are not using...

That does a good job describing small changes within a "species" through natural selection, but does not help in describing how a fish may evolve into something that can walk on land. Either way, this thread seems off topic for this particular forum, and IMO, Evolution seems off topic when it...

Can you be more specific about what supposed issues Christians are to ignore logic and use "faith" alone with? Can you also give your definition of "faith." Faith is not a leap in the dark, and I personally am a Christian because I have found it to be the most logical religion that I feel best...

I do not believe it is some great revelation to anyone that there have been many groups who have committed atrocities in the name of their respective gods and religion. My point and the point of this thread is that at first glance, it appears the radical Muslims are able to point to the Qur'an...

I found an article on topic of this thread by the Dr. you linked - Yasir Qadhi | The Lure of Radicalism and Extremism Amongst Muslim Youth | MuslimMatters.org I thought the article had some feeble excuses and explanations on why there are many young radical leaning American Muslims, but...

I would kindly ask that you do not derail the thread. This is not a Christianity vs Islam thread. If anything, it's a Human Rights vs Islam thread and what Islamic Scripture says on the subject. Feel free to create a new similar thread if you would like and I would be more than happy to...

Thank you for the link, I will review his work. Interesting... the narrator of the documentary of the first link opens with, "The film, which is narrated by devout Muslim American Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, opens with the following statement: “This is not a film about Islam. It is about the threat...

I have always felt remarks against Muslims being terrorists were prejudice and that there were just some over zealous radicals perverting Islam. Then, out of curiosity I looked into the Qur'an, written over 600 years after Jesus, to see what it said about our Savior. I was pretty surprised to...

Howdy, I became interested in this question after I realized there is no real mention/definition of Hell in the Bible (original languages that is), as it is commonly known as in the world. I would say after reading through both the original and this thread the "no eternal suffering for the...

Yes, I believe we are all aware that when you label yourself Christian, Atheist, Agnostic, etc, you are accepting a base default worldview. Obviously parameters in individual worldviews can vary greatly. Not believing in a Creator comes with many implications and default positions; and...

Hello, I hope you do not get the feeling I'm trying to be argumentative, and I understand there are some issues just cannot budge on or get past. I'm honestly just trying to help. :) My feeling on this goes back to the different commandments to the Nation of Israel vs the Church, the...

If what you are trying to accomplish is any type of meaningful discussion, then said discussion cannot be accomplished when you come in with such a defensive stance. The only advice I can offer at this point is if it offends you that people assume you have an atheistic world view, then do not...

People have faith in a lot of things, and that does not necessarily mean they are all true. I believe you are bringing this up due to the word assurance in the above verse you took that as anything you have faith in, is guaranteed to be correct. I do not necessarily believe that is what this...

Hello John1995, I wanted to let you know that my Bible doesn't say when the world was created. In fact, I do not believe anyone's Bible says when the earth was created. People believe their interpretations are infallible and overrule numerous scientific discoveries. Also, when Jesus was on...

Hello Darknova, For me personally I'd say the history surrounding the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. After that, all the cosmological, philosophical, and logical arguments. I'm guessing there is a good chance you have already read some of his material, but Dr. William...

Hmm, well okay then. Sorry for any trouble I may have caused by responding to your thread. Good luck accomplishing whatever it is you are trying to.

Well, there is undeniably a cultural difference between the two of us living in the US and the ancient Israelis. Even some countries today would see this as appropriate. Also the verses mentioning stoning disobedient children, I'm not sure what you are picturing here, but children is...

Hello leftrightleftrightleft, I would also consider myself scientifically minded who values logic and reason. When my faith was faltering and I aimed to strengthen it, logic and reasoning had to fit before I could comfortably rest. During my initial search, I was also praying regularly and...

May God Bless you and your family. My advice is to bring your burdens to the foot of the cross and turn them over to Jesus to bare for you. Unfortunately, alcohol has claimed the peace of many, however it is a very good sign that you acknowledge you, like all humans, fall short and need to...
