Where is the line with "playing God"?

[Loudmouth]

I test my Bible every day in many ways. It's to bad that you cannot get the truth work for you. For me that is not the case at all. For example people here raised questions about babies that return to heaven and I ran across a wonderful teaching that helped me to better understand.

That's not a test. It's not even close.

You don't know what your talking about. We would not even be having this conversation if God were not watching over me to keep me alive.

We were asking about the Bible.

We were talking about a Bible based diet that is confirmed by science. Science demands evidence and I have that evidence that the diet beneficial by anyone's standards.

No, we aren't. We are talking about a diet you invented.

You don't know what your talking about.

Yes, I do. A test requires objective results. A person "finding understanding" is not an objective result. It is a completely subjective result.

We would not even be having this conversation if God were not watching over me to keep me alive.

Yet another empty assertion.

Ok what are your subjective results for testing the Bible? Lots of people have no problems getting it to work. Why can you not do what they are doing and get the same results they are getting?

I am asking for objective results, not subjective results.

Lots of people have no problems getting it to work.

Examples?

Your test is subjective.

Hey, if that works for you, knock yourself out.

There are two types of cloning - reproductive and therapeutic - so we have to be careful not to lump them together in our discussions. To take stem cells and transplant them into a diseased organ in order to heal it is quite different than creating a new life - an exact replica of its donor DNA (aka Dolly the sheep). In our age of going to extremes to save a life, even the life of a pet (chemotherapy for dogs with cancer) I wonder who among us would turn down such therapy for our loved one. And what does our Christian faith lead us to do? When the apostles raised the dead and healed the sick, were they "playing God"? I'd love to hear more thought on this topic.
