    Does God/Jesus speak to us via dreams?

    God does not speak to us through our dreams because "Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, *but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son*" (Hebrews 1:1-2) and also "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for...

    Can I be saved

    "pastor" Anderson assumes powers which is not given to Pastors in the Bible: to condemn people to hell. For that, he will have to answer to God. The argument of the world is - you are born this way, and therefore it must be ok to live it out. Ofcause that argument run into trouble once you...

    The role of the Tree of Life

    Gen 2 : 16 - 17 Rom 8 : 19 - 23 1 Kor 15 : 21 - 22 1 Kor 15 : 52 - 56 (ASPECIALLY 56) Rom 5 : 12 - 21 Rev 21 : 4 - 5 To name just a few. A complete list will go on and on. The link between sin and death is clear from Genesis to Revelation. And on occations, it is also made clear that not only...

    The role of the Tree of Life

    As I said, God does not really provide the details, but I trust His judgement on this matter. Though, it does makes sence that if we, who are the crown on creation falls, the rest of creation will fall with us. As for what the animals did to deserve it, I can only offer the rational of the...

    The role of the Tree of Life

    I can see now how I was misunderstood. The "who" actually refered to "God", not to the Bible. The Bible is the word of God who (refering to God) did all the things the bible says. On this I must respectfully disagree. Yes, the Bible writers was fallible, but God is almighty, and that means that...

    The role of the Tree of Life

    That's what I meant: Scientific theory is to Scientific data, what Theology is to the Bible. ;) Though I don't want to open a can of worms here, I will say this. ID to me is no less, and no more scientific than the theory of the big bang. Design can be proven without the need to identify the...

    The role of the Tree of Life

    That's is technical, but technically, you're right ;) God does not expand on that in the bible, but I think its propably like a business: If the boss - us - is miserable, he makes his employees - nature - miserable too. No, but their fate is linked to that of the sinner. Mankind was not...

    The role of the Tree of Life

    No one can know what happened between God and Satan prior to Genesis 1. That knowledge is not provided to us. But if I have to take a guess, it would be something like this. God Created the world and the angels, and the angels took pretty much the same role as Adam and Eve. But Satan rebelled...

    The role of the Tree of Life

    1. God is the author of geology 2. God is the author of the bible 3. God does not lie Conclusion: There can be no conflict between the Bible and scientific data. The conflict exists between theology and scientific theory. The data matches, it is our interpretation of that data that is in...

    The role of the Tree of Life

    The Bible is often refered to as the Word of God - because it was inspired by the Holy Spirit, and as such, is Gods message - or words - to us. When we say the Bible is the Word of God, we are not refering to the physical book, but to the message it contains. The physical book itself is worldly...

    The role of the Tree of Life

    This is true. But Revelation 22 makes 3 references to the tree of life on the new earth. This leads me to believe that, like prior to the fall, our eternal life on the new earth will also be subject to eating from this tree - not that I believe anyone would commit suicide on the new earth by not...

    The role of the Tree of Life

    The Bible is the Word of God, who created the universe, and who is eternal, allknowing and allpowerful. Science is the our interpretation of the natural world, which is as yet uncomplete, and subject to change. As such, I am a creationist, regardless of the explainations given, until I can...

    Welcome to all New Members (3)

    :wave: Hi all. As much as I wish I could just ignore the whole matter, believe in Genesis 1 like a child, and go on with my life, I found that I just can not let the issue go. But one thing I am not prepared to question, is the validity of the Bible as the Word of God. I've come to this...
