No, no one can tell you how much time passed between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2, but it would appear to have been a long time. It's reasonable to assume the universe has been here a long time. This can be concluded by the sheer size of the universe, and how light travels. The Cambrian explosion...

I should say, I'm not a young earth creationist. When the universe and the earth were created are insignificant compared to when life was created. How could such a complex geology ever be explained as something to have formed within 6000 years? The recession of water from a flooded earth...

I should add, has anyone ever looked up the word "race" in a dictionary? It makes no reference to people at all. Technically, there can't be any racism because there is only one race of people, humans. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/race https://www.dictionary.com/browse/race...

There is very little racism in the world, most people don't even know what the word means. What most people define as racism is bigotry. Racism is defined as belief in the genetic superiority of one race over another, but there is only one race, humans. Just as there is variation with other...

If we have no freewill, then the bible, Jesus' sacrifice and everything else is pointless. There wouldn't be any reason at all for God to make us aware of his existence. Everything God did, everything jesus did, everything spiritual basically everything is pointless, and god would just be a...

Hebrews 10:14 For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy

If I'm understanding you, your existence is just for God's amusement and entertainment? He created you just to show you he's the boss? Makes no sense.

I think people are getting sidetracked which happens far to often when discussing the bible accounts. Accounts like Jonah and the Whale or the Great Flood lose sight of the meaning. The stories are allegorical, that isn't to say they can't be true, a story can be both true and allegorical...

These are not difficult question. God wanted to give us choice. If we weren't given the option to choose, then we wouldn't have free will. So do you want freedom to choose or not? People say they don't want god forced on them, if god didn't give us a choice, then it would the same as forcing...

As the saying goes, be careful what you wish for. Since humans cause the majority of the suffering in the world, to end all suffering would require ending all of us.

I like the way you think. That might be a scary idea, if you know how I think. Here's an example...

Wake up and be honest, truer words are rarely spoken. We have to be honest with ourselves, we all deserve eternal damnation, it's only through God's plan of grace that we have any chance. So to the topic of living in sin, we are all living in sin.

I only sin once a day, it starts when I wake up, and ends when I go to sleep.

Sin is not what we do, it's what we are. What we do is a reflection of what we are. Stopping bad behavior is great, but it doesn't address our sin nature, that is where the problem originates.

Anything less than perfection is immorality. God establishes moral absolutes, he doesn't grade on a curve. What is right and wrong is written in our hearts, we know what is wrong because we know when someone does something wrong to us. Anyone that does anything to someone else they wouldn't...

Sorry, but there aren't different levels of sin, it's the same force that drives one person to lie, cheat or steal that drives another to rape and murder.

If you kick all the sinners out of church, it would be empty.

We're not born disbelievers, to believe or disbelieve in something, you first have to know of it's existence. When you're born, you have no idea or concept or even knowledge of god. Once we learn about the existence of God, only then can we decide to believe or not. We are saved by grace, but...

People do choose heaven or hell. God doesn't send anyone to hell, if a person ends up there it's because of the choice they made not to believe and accept. It has to be this way, here's why. God is perfect, his plane of existence, his realm, the place from which he created our universe, his...

I have enough things to answer for myself, I can't take time to focus on the sins of others. I understand why people fight against things the bible says are sin, but if God is truly in control, then what can I do to help? I don't even know what is helpful. Is protesting gay people truly...
