Is the debate whether we should still be keeping the Sabbath at all, or whether Sunday can be the Sabbath?

If the Bible is divine it would be perfect. But it is not, and therefore cannot be, truly divine in the sense of the Trinity.

No, I do not think God is confined by anything. I believe He has complete control of the physical laws should He so choose. But we are seeing stars that died billions of years ago, today. Thus, the only 2 possibilities are that God created fake light to make us think there was a star when it...

I'm just a lowly civil engineer, buht I'm mighty imprassed with your here knowing of such things. This here actuawl science sounds mighty fine. But seriously, just reading Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything gives one a good understanding of an ancient universe and just how we...

Just because you don't like the results, you can't claim there's a common error in all the different testing methods. It's the same scientific process that vetted those dating processes and still does that gives us all the rest of modern science. You cannot in good conscience accept some parts...

Moses was taught by the Egyptian elite. Fair enough, for their time they would have been educated. And for their time the structures were pretty impressive. But that's completely false when you say we couldn't achieve what they have today. They had an endless supply of slave labour, and the...

EDITS IN BOLD. Because Jesus does not say that He's being metaphorical when He says pluck out our eyes, how do you know He's being metaphorical? You're using human reason to differentiate between legal code/historic accounts and parables. Nowhere does God give us a breakdown. So why do you...

Because all you're arguing about is the idea that paleontology is not 100% accurate. And paleontologists will agree with you there. They are finding new fossils that give us a clearer picture all the time. But those bones are definitely older than 6000 years old.

And, a young earth is only valid if the assumption that the entire Bible must be taken literally is true, and it definitely isn't. Unless you actually pluck out your eyes to stop yourself from sinning you cannot in good conscience say you hold the entire Bible to be literal. This then leads us...

I think you're ignoring the fact that whatever animals caused those fossils are a lot older than 6000 years.

It depends what you mean by reject. If by taking some things as metaphorical or limited by the author's understanding or intentions then yes. We know a literal Genesis or flood did not happen. We are not sure that a literal Exodus took place, but we cannot prove that with certainty. We are...

To me it seems far more difficult to give an explanation for scientific evidence if we accept Genesis to be true than the other way around.

I believe sin has had dire effects on creation that have permeated back through time. God's creation has been raging since it began 13 billion years ago. Stars have been exploding, volcanoes have been erupting and life has been in a continuous battle for survival since it began. We even describe...

The idea of a flat earth is the dumbest idea I've ever heard. Using the Bible as a science textbook is also a silly notion. And I think the writers of it would also find it silly.

Except scripture isn't without error. Matthew 27 says Judas hanged himself. Acts 1 says Judas threw himself off a cliff. Some would argue one doesn't preclude the other. But why would someone hang himself on the edge of a cliff? On the other hand, is there a Greek or Hebrew word for cousin or...

Whenever someone says religion or specifically Christianity is for the weak, or that it is a crutch, my response is: "Amen! Preach it brother! (or sister)". There's nothing wrong with relying on Christ. I am weak. I need a crutch. And Christ is the best crutch to have!

Hi OP, just leave your tattoo as is for now. When you're more financially able then you can look at getting it changed or removed. Any church member worth their salt will not bat an eyelid. They may ask you about it and what it means. But on your baptism people will just be glad you're getting...

I think anyone who gives themselves the title of Prophet is a pretentious idiot. We should be humbling ourselves as Christians.

Because God is a God of truth. He gave us our minds in order to understand the universe and its workings, and that we may understand Him. He has given us evidence that creation is ancient. Countless places to prove the 13 billion year age of creation. The God portrayed by a young earth is a...

If a child tells parents he went to school when in reality he did not, then he lied. Same principle as God telling us there was a star but there never was.
