    Logic: if apes connected to humans, humans can "reconnect" to humans - what is the good of that?

    Hi there, So yes, a simple element of logic here: if apes connected to humans (genealogically), could humans not "reconnect" to other humans? I have said before that "the Evolution of a specific survival, is different from the optimum survival for that Evolution" this is merely an extension of...

    If Jesus could be turned into an Elephant, He truly could be the elephant in the room?

    Hi there, So this is a crazy thought I had about Evolution. I am posting it here, because basically I hate getting mired with this sought of hyperbole: it's like the Holy Spirit says "you wanted to argue the point, make an argument, make a case". Only then the argument seems repetitive and the...

    Jesus knows your body temperature? Is that reason to believe - if knowing apes points to Evolution?

    Hi there, So there is a standard of evidence issue, here - right? We all want something to believe, or to discount something, whatever the case may be - doesn't holding a consistent standard of evidence, encourage a better result, than pinning it on chance? I mean if you could evolve Jesus...

    The Proper use of Reason in Christianity

    I Facebook blogged this today, and decided to do a thread on it. I found a nice little article that talks a bit about the proper use reason in the Christian Faith. Originally I was on the web looking at articles that pertain to atheists because, I sometimes talk a lot to atheists which can be...

    Are God's laws reasonable or arbitrary?

    If we all assume that God's laws are authoritative simply because God is God, it still leaves open the question if whether those laws are arbitrary or reasonable. If a law of God is reasonable, then it is not arbitrary. If it is arbitrary, then it is not reasonable. Maybe it's the case that...

    “having The Faith Of A Child” Should Be More Than Just A Slogan.

    (A Facebook blog post, I wrote when I was planning on writing a book 2 years ago) Mark 10: 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” Deuteronomy 29:29 "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed...

    Deny the Bible "for Jesus"?

    I accept that the Bible says all life on Earth, and the Sun and the Moon were made in 7 days and Exodus 20:11 says "at least" that much in legal code about Genesis 1-2 Ex 20: 10 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD (YHWH)... 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the...

    Reason, Intellect, and Understanding in Orthodoxy and Western Christianity

    Hello all, In this thread on the differences in the approach to the Eucharist in Catholicism and Orthodoxy, some of the posts from our Western Christian friends seem to show an understanding of Orthodoxy that supposes that Orthodoxy treats reason as something bad, or to be neglected, or to be...

    Let's talk about Psalm 1

    In the name of, the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence. But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and...

    READ!!!

    Christians are supposed to be people of wisdom, good sense and a reasonable approach to issues. It would be nice if they could actually read the posts that are presented in this, or any other forum, especially if they exceed 140 characters! Then, if there is something that is questionable, they...

    Where did Luther or major Lutherans explain how the "Reformed" exaggerate the role of Reason?

    Lutheran Communion I read in several works that Lutherans criticized the Reformed (Calvin and Zwingli) for basing their exegesis too much on modern Reason. One website notes: Calvin's and Zwingli's belief were that since Jesus' body was up in heaven, it could not be in the bread, while...

    (moved) Can the Philosophical Approach of "Reformed" Protestantism lead out of Christianity?

    Hello! I have three questions: (1) Does "Reformed" Protestantism (Calvinism, Presbyterians, Evangelicals, etc.) have a real, direct basis in early Christian traditions and writings to claim that the Communion bread is "only" a symbol and to reject the Lutheran Protestant and Catholic beliefs in...
