    God is not a divine being??

    Being implies existence whether created or not. In essence a rock could be a being because it is, so can God because he is.

    Could be a flub, while trying to say that God set forth the natural laws and used them to create.

    Is Sola Scriptura a Heresy?

    The issue I have is that if you discount tradition all we have to know about the God who is that soul be considered reliable is the written word. Every church has a tradition of some kind which is used to interpret scriptures, but the scriptures are necessary in that they carry what we know...

    Sinful Nature, the Chicken or the Egg?

    Do you believe that Abraham's natural descendants are God's chosen people now?

    What would it take for non-RC Christians to join the RCC?
