    The more love, the less need to argue and judge

    Haha, no. It's more like "the more love, the more we do argue and the less we fight and therefore can argue with each other."

    Did Jesus bear the whole sinful condition of the universe on the cross, or only man's sin?

    With Adam's decision for sin, the whole of creation fell. All that was given to Adam. Which means heaven and earth. Heaven is the angelic realm, earth is the universe, including our planet.

    Crop Circles

    It shows that physicists don't have a clue what's going on. They can't explain them. So, what can they explain?

    When Jesus prayed that the church be one what did he mean?

    He meant that our individual unity with God may be of the same "calibre" as is the unity between Jesus and the Father. Out of that our corporate unity with God flows. Yes, now. Not somewhere then. Now.

    Did Jesus bear the whole sinful condition of the universe on the cross, or only man's sin?

    That doesn't mean that his sacrifice isn't good to quench all other sin as well.

    Did Jesus bear the whole sinful condition of the universe on the cross, or only man's sin?

    Quite a bunch very interesting issues have been brought up by our fellow posters. I want to comment on them from a biblical perspective. Well, biblically speaking this is not quite right as such. The underlying problem here is a pagan understanding of what heaven is. In paganism, heaven is a...

    Did Jesus bear the whole sinful condition of the universe on the cross, or only man's sin?

    Yes, and even more than an undoing, it's a whole new creation.

    Church and State

    The term "capitalism" was coined by, I think, Engels, in any case it's a socialist smearing of the free enterprise system. To talk about "capitalism" doesn't actually say anything. Not really. Now, socialist fluff aside… Regarding the OP, it is just a fact of history, that the industrial...

    Did Jesus bear the whole sinful condition of the universe on the cross, or only man's sin?

    Hello zoidar, the answer to your question is very clear: Jesus atonement accounts for all sin. It doesn't matter so much to make distinctions between sin in humans, animals, angles or what have you, as long as it is not clarified, why you would make such distinctions. Having said that, tell...

    What's up?

    Thanks for the welcome @mnorian! I do like it a lot. Although it pains me to say it, a lot of it is not very well done. It's a very interesting topic, though.

    How to meet a Christian woman?

    Ah, okay, I see, thanks. Let's go back to your question, I'll give you practical advice. The more theological aspects can be dealt with in separate threads, with a more general scope. The main problem with Christians and social issues is insincerity. For instance, it could happen to a young...

    The Bible is the Word of God. Ok, but how do you know that?

    Most of his words are not in the Bible. Also the Bible testifies that God is revealed not only through his words in the Bible, but also through his Church and through nature.
