    Why do Christians distrust subjective morality?

    I'm afraid I can't post on this thread anymore, break is over and I'm going back to school. Happy new year everyone!

    Why do Christians distrust subjective morality?

    "Heavy burden" is merely a metaphor for sin. Heavy burden is not the knowledge of sin, Guilt is the knowledge of sin. No, I do not. I never said anything to the effect. Grace is an awful thing, it is true. I say awful in the old sense. So terribly incomprehensible is this fact that we are...

    Why do Christians distrust subjective morality?

    You say that I say that guilt comes from God, even though I do not. You also claim that false logic exists in my definition of guilt, when it does not. I defined sin with the metaphor of Bunyan's "heavy burden." All men have this heavy burden, but not all are aware of it. Therefore men are said...

    Why do Christians distrust subjective morality?

    Religion doesn't exist to allow men to do contemptible things without feeling guilt, that is what Nihilism does. The only regulation to Nihilism, as Tocqueville points out, is self-interest. It is wrong to kill since murder shall lead to my own death, which is against my self-interest. Now...

    Well. I think we can work together to get somewhere. How would you define the spiritual element of man?

    Threefold man?

    Okay, I'll try to define my terms, how about I say that the mental encompasses intellectual action, the physical encompasses physical action, and the spiritual encompasses all other action. Therefore the mind, the body and the soul are said to encompass the three respectively, but I say that...

    Threefold man?

    Is man composed of body, mind, and soul? I answer that he is not, he is merely flesh. Many traditional systems of thought say that men have a body, a mind, and a soul. These systems of thought also claim that the three relate to eachother in certain ways (i.e. "a healthy body is a healthy...

    Is love above faith?

    A good principle of determining greatness in comparison is that the greater should outlast the lesser. I seems that love ought to be greater than faith, since love will last forever but faith will not last forever. Now in heaven, we shall dwell with God and God's love, so it is already...

    The Real Presence Debate Thread

    No, seriously, i did a google search. Apparently she was also once a baptist and a mormon. One poster says "she changes her faith icon almost every week, should she even be allowed to vote in this poll?" PL, whats up? I almost feel like i've been fooled around with. I was a bit worried that...

    The Real Presence Debate Thread

    Did anyone notice that peacelover started this conversation as a conservative protestant, then converted to catholocism in the middle of it, and now displays a wiccan faith icon? <scratchead>

    2 Questions

    No, what you want to look into is the eastern doctrine of "ancient sin." I learned about it from an Orthodox priest who taught me about Orthodoxy. Every time we met for instruction, I would argue and debate with him very much. But when he told me this, I listened to him for thirty minutes...

    from a Bible-believing perspective, how many total people have ever lived?

    I don't know what the Bible has to do with that.

    Christian History

    I remember reading it somewhere in Foxe, but you know it's so big. Honestly- citation for a quote like that is important. I dont have the time or energy to search it out. Do you know how big FBM is? I have removed the quote.
