That's what John said: 8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son[a] into the world that we might live through him. 10This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an...

I like the way Witness Lee put it:

It sounds to me that you're saying God created death. I would not want to worship a God of death. The Bible paints a different picture: God created adam and eve in his image: perfect. Adam and Eve sinned against god and sin entered into creation. The penalty for sin is death (so we are the ones...

Sounds like he was making up excuses not to believe in God's only Son. He said of the passage stating that Jesus was not crucified: "The Muslim believes this categorical Quranic statement to be from God. Hence he asks no questions and seeks for no proof." That sounds like blind faith to me.

When you're crucified, you hang there and your lungs are stuck in the inhale (or is it exhale?) position. You need to press up on your feet in order to breathe (tearing the flesh till the ankle/leg bones rest on the spike). Breaking the legs makes it so they can't do that and suffocate. When...

I was once told that Christianity is the only religion in the world where death his considered an "enemy." All others say it's the natural way life is. Perhaps I'm one of the few who think things shouldn't be that way.

No, it's just part of the natural by-product of a sin-filled world. Which is part of the mess life without God produces.

As my pastor said: "We reap the consequences of what life without God creates, and we blame God for the mess that we've created."

Sure.

Muhammad said Christ was never crucified. Historical scholarship has overwhelming evidence otherwise. Someone isn't telling the truth here...

Muhammad is one of the people the Bible warned us about: 1 John 2:22-23 "22Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son. 23No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father...

Here it is. It's in the Apocrypha: Gospel of Bartholomew.

What do you think God meant when he said he "Put eternity in the hearts of men?"(Eccl 3:11)

God has blessed me with much wisdom, and I am grateful. This my understanding: The Greek word "psyche" is translated as "soul" in the new testament. Your soul is your personality; it's your thoughts, your emotions, and your will. Humans are made in the image of God who is Father, Son, Holy...

The trinity is def. one of the most difficult concepts about God to understand. How can God be three and one at the same time? Many people reject God being three persons of one nature on principle. Romans 1:19-20 says, "19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made...

So the Arabic Infancy Gospel was taken from apocryphal sources, it seems. The problem with that is that the apocrypha came about during the 2nd century when the apostles and other eyewitnesses to Jesus had passed away. How could one argue that it is a more reliable source than the four gospels?

I have a question. Now, granted I've never read the whole Quran myself, only parts of it, but I saw this video online where Dr. William Lane Craig (who was a Doctorate in Philosophy and Theology) was talking about some problems he has with the Quran. They seemed very legitimate, especially the...

:o Woah, nice. I gotta try that some time :)

I can recall a few stories in the Bible where someone possessed by a demon willingly coming up to Jesus then saying something along the lines of "Why are you tormenting me, Son of God?" Well something similar happened to me two days ago. I was getting off the BART (a subway system throughout...

God dealt with sin by Judging the world's sin on Jesus (God himself). That's the blood sacrifice. There's parts in the OT where God doesn't require sacrifices because their sins are paid by Jesus' sacrifice. The sacrificial system that God set up for the Jews was supposed to point to Jesus'...
