Seems to me that for most people, if they were struck down by a bright light and blinded just as they were walking along a road, it would make it more likely for them to believe. So how come only Paul got this preferential treatment? Why did God go to the extra length to convert him? Isn't...

Good afternoon all, Suppose person A has faith, and person B doesn't. Would it be reasonable for person A to thank God that he has faith? If so, doesn't this indicate that God is somehow responsible for the fact that person A has faith? And if God is responsible, how is He? Really this...

See the poll question...notice it doesn't say "His people" or "all people", just people. In other words, does God ever try to save a person only 'half-heartedly'? When God wants to save a person, does He use every means under His control, or does He sometimes 'give up'? Peter

Is it just/fair for God to give commands that He knows man cannot keep?

"Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin." Other translations use an even stronger word - 'slave' instead of 'servant'. One of the meanings of the greek word is "one who is devoted to another to the disregard of one's own interests,"...

The question is - what do you think Jesus would do, if He saw one of His sheep wandering towards destruction? I think that if you are one of Jesus' sheep, you can never perish, by any means. However I'm interested in who else thinks so - or rather what the consensus is on this forum. I...

Ignore this thread too... This new technology, all too much for an old man like me.

Ooops - ignore this thread! Apologies

I have been doing some sums regarding the evolution of humankind, and have come up with the following results. They seem unrealistic to me, and I'm hoping someone can show me where I went wrong. The basis for my calculations was this. Apparently, according to New Scientist (26 june 1999...

Can someone please explain the following. I am not looking for an argument, just interested in an explanation. I have asked similar questions before but this is a development of those really. People have already explained how single celled organisms evolved into two-celled organisms. My...

Thinking yesterday about ‘things’, the following question came to mind – how does evolution explain the emergence of sexes? Let me try and explain. As I understand it, life first appeared in the form of single cell organisms, much the same as are still around today. Unless I’m mistaken, these...

I understand that "Jehovah's Witnesses" do not believe that Jesus is God. I am just interested in how they interpret the verse in Isaiah which goes something like this "For unto us a Son is born, unto us a Child is given, and His name shall be called wonderful, counseller, THE MIGHTY GOD...

I just thought, in prehistoric times (so-called) man's greatest predators would presumably have been sabre-tooth tigers for example, or other men maybe. If a man could have flown, he would have had a huge advantage, not only in that respect, but also in hunting. So how come we're still ground...

In connection with my last post. If you could tick the relevant box, that would be great. Thanks Peter

Good Morning I have a small query which I would like to invite your opinions on. One of the articles of faith of the denomination I am attached to says that the human nature of Christ consists of a human body and a "reasonable human soul." I think that many other articles of faith make the...
