I'm going to sleep, I appreciate your answers. I (of course) don't entirely understand everything presented. I'm not going to tackle everything written, but as far as the burden of responsibility, God promises to forgive and (the oft forgotten) forget your sins. I don't know if that changes...

Thank you, I have forgotten some of what I said. Thats foolish of me. I should not allow emotion to overtly effect my responses.

No Arj, your not seeing me here. I am not gaining some sort of arrogant I am always right view. I realize that I can so mess up the preaching of the Gospel that it becomes meaningless. What I am saying is that any belief not rooted in the gospel is wrong. I can trust in this fact. Does that mean...

I like everything you said here, especially about people in Genesis having no comprehension of morality. It makes me think more. Why did God place the tree with the apples that were later eaten in the first place? But as far as perfection being shoddily defined, I simply think that us...

Answers in bold. It's the same time over here, I will likely go to sleep too, and to be honest, I have been debating many things all day, so I may or may not respond tomorrow.

Hmmm, Arj, essentially beliefs other than Christ are dumb, in the sense they are flawed. Avniel, Arj is simply asking you to be more polite. You don't come across as a loving Christian when you call people's beliefs dumb, even if they are wrong. You keep saying the gospel offends people, I...

Sorry, my bad. I thought you were dodging, I'm sorry I accused you as such. Being new to forums has it's downsides.

I kind of suspected you would ignore everything I said and instead fight for the last one, and I am not well studied in evolution, so I will take your word that those explanations for the eye, and morality are feasible. I still expect you to respond to everything else I said in my above post. I...

Oh, so if no biological life contains morality other than humans, where did it evolve from? Even more challenging, how do you evolve a complex system like an eye ball? Did the retina evolve first, and then the poor creature with only a retina survive long enough to eventually develop the rest of...

Did I in any way suggest that I thought I was battling here?

I agree that trying to explain scripture and what it means to people who refuse to understand that perfection is perfect and who think faith is dumb is almost futile. However I feel like I should clear up misunderstandings and false perspectives where I can, even if no one will listen.

I've seen a lot of people say you don't need God for morality but not very many alternate answers as to where morality comes from? And honestly, how did morality evolve? It seems kind of a large evolutionary leap.

I've already spent 2 days on this site debating hell up and down, so I'm not going to engage you right now, because I'm sick and tired of it. The idea that everyone has a good understanding of Christianity's claims isn't even close to true. I'd argue most Christians in this country don't really...

Do other forms of biological life have morals? Open question.

I'd like to clear up a misunderstanding of Christianity being posted here. Someone said the primary mission of Christianity is to convince people they are flawed and that they must repent and live a life in penance for their flaws. This is wrong. Christianity states that no human is perfect (...

You seem to think that perfection means everyone is a clone... Which I would think is quite wrong. God did not make everyone the same, he didn't call all of his servants to do the same thing. Do you think that in heaven he will vaporize the personality. I think each and every individual will...

There's something disturbing about the fact that seemingly no one on here understands that perfect is perfect. We live in a flawed world, no one here is perfect. I think people have such big egos they can't accept the idea that their might be something perfect, something better than them.

trolololololol people who think Glen Beck are crazy... As a teenager at an arts school I hear out of context Glen Beck quotes all day long, even the teachers insult him randomly in the middle of their lessons. That being said, every time I've seen him I've seen no evidence to make any of the...

I'm pretty sure I basically said that.

Ooh a tough question. For that matter, I'd ask why did Satan first decide to deceive people? I don't know. Things I clearly need to study up. Hmmm. Humans initially were perfect but the were mislead by the devil. However this doesn't answer your question, as now one would ask, why did God make...
