    My heart is telling me intolerance of gays is WRONG

    Hi, I received a post from your concerning homosexuality and your conviction that homosexuality is more of a determined response and not a matter of choosing. You agree with some scientific understanding that it is determined. I am a Christian theist who has been struggling for the past...

    How much of Matthew 24 is fulfilled

    You are confused! You are an enemy of God and therefore not my friend. You deny my God and savior and it has nothing to do with me but rather everything to do with you holding another gospel. Look> Galatians 1:6-12I marvel that you are so readily turning away from Him who called you in the...

    How much of Matthew 24 is fulfilled

    You stated in your document the following: As Gnostics we believe in One God, the Almighty. Though the Father did not directly create the universe, the demiurge did using Sophia, who's power comes from God. How do you reconcile this statement with the genesis account where it states that God...

    How much of Matthew 24 is fulfilled

    How terrible it is to fall into the hands of an angry God. The rejection of the messiah as portrayed in Isaiah 61 by those first century Hebrews was the final nail in their coffin. Throughout history their refusal to hear the prophets was a continual characteristic of this chosen nation...

    How much of Matthew 24 is fulfilled

    Thanks for your reply. Concerning your post. I believe one needs to divide chapter 24 of Matthew’s gospel to see that there are in fact two messages. One deals exclusively with the immediate future and the other about a futuristic global time just at the return of Christ. It is...

    Questioning Islam.

    Dear Chingchang, I do not believe that Muhammad was a prophet sent by God. Muslim do! I do not believe he can be seen as anything more than another anti-Christ figure of which there have been many throughout the time of Church history. I would not even dare to try to use the book of...

    Questioning Islam.

    Concerning whether or not Muhammad is a prophet. As I said , he is not. Concerning what he said about Jesus and whether or not he died on the cross , He actually believe that this was true. I am convinced of it. Below are some excerpts from the Koran that shows that both Muhammad and the Koran...

    Plato's Cave

    Interesting quote. Plato was quite a thinker. I guess he was a truth seeker.

    Plato's Cave

    Its all very reflective to me as it appears to be similar to being delievered from darkness into light. I guess I am not sure what you are looking for in your response. My thoughts on metaphysics are mainly tied up with Plato's ideas on the nature of God. If you wish I can speak more clearly...

    Questioning Islam.

    I am not trying to be difficult only to the point. If you have ever discussed the messiah with muslims you will understand what I mean. On the absolute astronomy site I have spent quite a bit of time discussing the nature of prophetic messengers. If you want to put the messianic messenger...

    Plato's Cave

    I think you must have forgotten what the bible says about returning to sin as if somehow god's grace is irresistible. Hebrews 6:4-8 (King James Version) 4For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost...

    Questioning Islam.

    I guess you misunderstood my response. I am not saying Muhammad is the last in the line of prophets. I am saying that is what Muslims are saying. As far as your response is concerned you seem to have some kind of unusual way of speaking about christ. As I see it Jesus is the fulfillment of...

    Plato's Cave

    Plato's Cave The philosophy says that common man perceives only illusions of what is real: shadows cast on the wall of a dark cave by a large fire. Once released, a man steps into the light of day and is blinded for a while. His eyes adjust, and sees the real world. He returns to the cave to...

    Questioning Islam.

    Hello, Of a truth Mohammad is a false prophet. Like many who came before him and many who came after he inspires many to beleive that he was chosen by god to finish the work of Jesus. So jesus is also a prophet but only one in a line of prophets. Muhammad however was the last in a line of...

    Hey BeforeThereWas, I received a post from you concerning the controversy between predispositions and preferences concerning homosexuality. You did not provide any sources for this. I have never heard anything like this concerning some confirmation of an inherited sexual preference...

    Ryan, I see you have been reading many of the same authors on Open Theism that I have been reading. Until about 6 months ago I was completely in line with this theism and considered it the next big kid on the block. Then at the end of a very interesting read on foreknowledge I came to a...
