mark kennedy, I have to agree. Jesus did fight causing unrest among the established powers. But His weapon was of a purely spiritual nature. Only people lacking a minimum of wisdom reach for clubs or use their fists to iron out differences. God bless

I'm having a hard time seeing Jesus walking around with a sword on his side. God bless

Steve, Some of the so-called "God-given" instruction in the OT are simply man-made inventions such as in DT 21:10-14: With the Lord's approval, the Israelites are allowed to kidnap "beautiful women" from the enemy camp to be their trial wives. If, after having sexual relations a man has "no...

I consider myserlf to be spiritual, not religious. This does not stop from believing in Jesus Christ and his messages.

Dear -V-, I am in the process of moving to a new location which includes disconnecting all my electronic devices including internet connection for a while. So, until dear old Kutte pops up again in the Christian Forum I am asking for your patients. I know you will miss me. Because I am a...

Hi -A- I have explained contradictions but you decided to ignore them or you are unable or unwilling to recognize them. Once again: Man was created as a likeness of God which includes the ability to differentiate between a lie and the truth which Adam and Eve were unable to do because they...

Hi -V- Why do I have the feeling that you are just playing games with dear old Kutte? If I told you that snow is white you would answer, "You're making claims with no substantiation." Now, how about my question, that IF you had a chance to enter paradise as it relates to the Garden of Eden...

Hi -V-, Since this talk relates to Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden my question, "Do you think you will find happiness if given a chance to enter the Garden of Eden?' is very much relevant. I hope you can understand that and discontinue with strange excuses of not being relevant. So far you...

Hi -V-, To keep throwing remarks such as 'speculative opinion' around without explaining why, is meaningless and shows a lack of understanding or unwillingness to respond. My question "Do you think you will find happiness if given a chance to enter the Garden of Eden?" is very relevant. It...

Hello -V- Aside from what you call 'factual' awareness, which can be linked to an awareness of instincts, the issue at hand deals with 'spiritual' awareness, meaning having the ability to distinguish between a lie and the truth which Adam and Eve lacked due to their ignorance of good and bad...

Hi -V-, The whole planet was Eden? "You've got nothing but pure speculation there." (Quote) Yes, the first thing a child learns is not to do this or that. But you conveniently forgot a second party in Eden, the one which taught you will know the difference between good and bad which is good if...

Hi -V-, Good question. Adam and Eve while existing in a paradise garden, lacking knowledge of good and bad, walking around naked, were in no position to go outside this garden to conquer and subdue the planet. They also had no incentives for leaving this place since, supposedly, everything was...

Dear -A- Here is my explanation for the existence of a contradiction: "God made man like his Maker. Like God did God make man. Man and maid did God make them. And God blessed them and told them, Multiply and fill the earth and subdue it; you are masters of the fish and birds and all the...

Hi -V-, I don't like repeating myself, but... I provided proof in an earlier posting pointing to a contradiction in relation to the creation of man. (See post # 69) Where is your proof that no contradiction exists? Still waiting

Hi -A-, Of course, God is omnipotent and he can resort to witchcraft to impress us human beings, as if God needs to do that. It's an easy excuse which fundamentalists use while attempting to explain the unexplainable. Sorry, -A-, I am not buying it. Your need to do better than just throwing...

Yes now faith, Good idea. How about starting one? My best

-V- Of course. You need to remain attached to Adam and Eve. By the way, you did not respond to one of my questions: Do you think the creation of man actually happened as described in the Garden of Eden, God taking out one of Adam's ribs and formed it into a woman? Be nice

Hi -V- You have the right to avoid a sensible question you don't like by simply calling it 'irrelevant'. As a fundamentalist you need to accept the statement that man's creation happened the way as described in Genesis 2. Both creation statements of man have been inspired for the purpose of...

Dear now faith, The story of Eden is a very clever metaphor for a special reason. The true story of man's creation and purpose can be found prior to Eden in Genesis 1:27-28: "God made man like his Maker. Like God did God make man. Man and maid did God make them. And God blessed them and told...

Hi -A- Thank you for pointing to the message # 56 which must be considered true, especially when considering the fate of Adam and Eve as described in Genesis. Since you don't care to provide an answer to my question I am tempted to look at it as a lack for having one or not wanting to think...
