Right. This is the creation/evolution forum, not the theism/atheism forum.

a theo v atheo is boring? What?

That it's off topic. The OP was about the "gap" between creationists and non-creationists, not about atheists v. theists or the truth of the Christian faith.

And what is love according to Jesus?

When I sink into the Heart of Christ, what I find there as the essence of Jesus is Infinite Divine Compassion/Activated. How do you think that would play out in the world if the Church actually preached that sort of thing.

I am not biased against Chridtians, don't know anyone who is,
so it's pretty obvious where the bias is.
I do have opinions on dishonesty and tone, regardless of
age, religion, sex or, you know, national origin.

Would you automatically vote against an atheist just coz
he is atheist? Study your golden rule for guidance if need be.

The topic was completel unrelated to religion anyway.

Claiming atheists will be inherently dishonest because they
are atheists is the very definition of ad hom.

If you are going to be "bored" by being corrected, avoid such errors.

Lol, you are determined to find my guilty, aren't you? Have a good day.
I probably would vote against an atheist, honestly, everything else being equal. God didn't say be foolish, he says be wise as a snake and innocent as a dove. He said people who say there is no God are foolish.

I think they would help people like my church already does.
But Jesus was anything but a pushover. His love is often a tough love.

What kind of Christ Love does your church preach?

Ha. You do my work for me.

They preach the Bible.

When I sink into the Heart of Christ,

You better hope He allows you to pierce His heart like that.

 

[dlamberth]

They preach the Bible.

And...what about Love?

 

[dlamberth]

Oh...He has.

 

[renniks]

And...what about Love?

It's in the Bible.
The invitation to accept God's love ( to accept Christ) is part of every sermon.

Can you talk about God's Love more broadly other than accepting God's Love? For instance, I gave the example of the essence of Christ being "Infinite Divine Compassion that is Activated". Are you taught to bring that kind of Love into your own Heart and maybe even go deeper by contemplating or even meditate on it? Maybe even from the perspective of the Heart of Christ?

We are told to share God with others.

What you are talking about sounds rather mystical.

Becoming closer to God by meditation on his words is good.
I'm not so sold on the contemplative prayer sort of thing.
The closest I get to that is enjoying God's beauty in nature, but I do have a prayer picture I utilitize where I lay beneath God's love as in an ocean I can breathe under. It's hard to explain, but it's a good way to fall asleep when I'm having trouble with that.

Dlamberth is a panentheist

There is no group of people called science btw.

There are groups of people who claim what they believe is science. And others have a different opinion.

Seems we are both right so my evidence is relevant to our discussion and provides evidence of intelligent design.
" Intelligent Design has been defined by its proponents as the idea that "certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause." This "intelligent cause" is often assumed to be God. Despite this, some have tried to portray Intelligent Design as a fledgling scientific theory, almost ready to be embraced by mainstream science. Detractors have argued that Intelligent Design is nothing more than creationism in disguise." https://undsci.berkeley.edu/article/0_0_0/id_checklist

What is the criteria for something being designed?

 

[Larniavc]

Others could, though.

Is polygamy okay?

Among consenting adults I think it is fine.

Good. Back on the topic again
