MODs - can we please move this thread to apologetics?

The crux of the matter of all thought and ideas about religions centers on the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If Jesus Christ rose bodily from His death at the cross, as accounted by the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John), then any question as to the validity of Christianity or of Jesus...

God has revealed Himself to you personally in two ways: [1) Through the intricacies and complexities of life and the cosmos. The energy, chemicals, and particles consistent throughout the universe require a starting point, which require an origin. 2) Morality - What we know about morality in...

This quoted text is heretical and completely unbiblical. I am not even going to begin to outline Scripture which shows this unless it would be beneficial for somebody else.

The God of the Bible has appeared on Earth as a man - Jeuss Christ. God, the creator of all the universe, has made himself known in a personal way. How can we validate Jesus' claim as God the creator? For one, through his rising up from death. Second, certain propehcies were written hundreds...

Alex, What are the matheimatical probabilities of life on a planet to be so sustainable, complex, and successful when left to random chance? Also, can matter be eternal, or is there a source for all matter, including the chemicals which compose the Earth and universe? Your point to this...

Greetings, By looking at the universe, earth, creation, and the complexities of life, we are naturally in awe and in wonder at how things which are visible to us are. Mankind in answer to this has come up with various ideas and religious thoughts to come up with an answer. However, the true...

Online dating? Well, I met my beautiful and sweet wife through Christianmingle, an online dating website so I can vouch for it. :thumbsup: It's a great medium because you can meet people with similar beliefs and values that you wouldn't necessarily meet in your everyday life. My wife lived an...

Care to respond to my points, post,and questions, Alex?

This thought-process is completely against what the Scriptures teach. I will show through the Scriptures what the process of salvation is from the Bible: In the beginning, man fell into sin, and thus the curse of physical and spiritual death and the punishment of Hell came upon all of mankind...

By receiving Christ, Christians receive the benefit of having all of their sins forgiven. The righteousness of Christ is imputed to all who believe and they are cleansed by the blood of Christ. In this life, from the point of receiving Christ to the end of a believer's life, Christians will...

To better understand the sacrifice of Christ, one will need to start with the Old Testament. In the book of Hebrews, Paul states that "without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins." This is the required substitute and atonement necessary that God has required since man has been...

Hello iTechnology, I believe that God has existed for all eternity and is all powerful. God created the heavens and the earth, and has formed mankind according to His will. There are many good and wonderful characteristics of God - all of which could be found in the Bible. Jesus is...

For a person to go to heaven, they must experience a new, spiritual birth from above. When Nicodemus was speaking with Jesus, the Lord stated that "unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Ultimately it is the Lord who calls to salvation, and, like the wind, this isn't...

As an adult, you have no obligation to stay with your parents underneath their house. Helping your parents if they need assistance is important, but this doesn't require them to shelter you. I personally moved out when I was 23 turning 24. It's been a great experience, and I've matured a lot...

You indicated that you don't want to go to college, but if you do I would suggest becoming a CPA/public accounting. There is so much to learn about business, people, and the intricacies of various businesses. People generally have a total misunderstanding as to what accounting entails: instead...

A lot of women are sexually abused. Does that mean they are not "good enough"? Those poor ladies were victims of sin, and, therefore, shouldn't be treated differently than a virgin.

Mary, If your expectation of a future spouse is based largely on they being inexperienced before marriage, then you should stay true to that if that is important to you. However, realistically speaking, there are few people who are virgins before their wedding night. So you may be missing...

Kstoves, Honestly, your girlfriend should forgive you for your past, or the two of you should move on. People make stupid mistakes in life, but that should be 1) repented and 2) moved on in a serious realtionship. Otherwise, if it is an unworked issue, it would only destroy the relationship...

I suggest that you talk to a professional as soon as possible. Can you please express these feelings to a professional? Or call a hotline number? Do you believe that God has a specific will for each of us in our lives? Whatever and wherever you are right now is based on what God wants for you...
