    Is Salvation an event or a process?

    Watchman22 and OMC I think it important to distinguish the process a bit more because IMHO we purposely conflate two words with very different meanings into one word that is inaccurate. Our faith journey does not begin with faith, it begins with belief. Belief is a purely a mental process. If...

    Is Salvation an event or a process?

    I believe you may have conveniently bifurcated sin. There are two broad categories of sin. One is personally violating God's will and Jesus example. The second and perhaps the more important kind of sin is the sin of never taking up your cross, never being converted into the love of both God and...

    Is cessation an observation or theology?

    Fillan: Based on the last chapter of Daniel, which was added to an existing older text, one can very accurately determine that this text was written around 167 BC - based on the idea that whoever wrote Daniel was looking backward for much of the text incorporating stories from the Babylonian...

    How has science impacted your perspective on the Hebrew Bible?

    I provided no data from whoever the APA is. The data I provided comes from the Center for Disease Control and Protection, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the National Institute of Health. There is one primary federal oversight body (the Children's Bureau under the U.S. Department of...

    At least 532,000 children are confirmed victims of abuse and neglect in the US every year, with parents responsible for nearly 85% to 90% of these cases. Because many instances go unreported, broader public health tracking by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that actual...

    How has science impacted your perspective on the Hebrew Bible?

    The cases you present verify the data I already provided. There is a small part of all human populations and societies that are born with dissociative sexual identity. These cases you provided demonstrate that it is not after birth bad parenting that "causes" these problems, but genetics. On...

    CS1: Research shows that about 32% to 42% of transgender individuals report attempting suicide at some point in their lifetimes. When you look at a cultural rejection, political hate mongering and alienation from friends and families and from "God's People," It is understandable why the pain...

    How has science impacted your perspective on the Hebrew Bible?

    I can see your resistance. Science learly states 1% - 2% of the population express a uncharastic association with their biological determined expression of sexuality. You can see that as a reason to reject these people and the science that identifies the statistical reality in support of a...

    Good choice. BTW not much science of the earth is in the news. The oldest known intact rock formations on Earth are roughly 4.0 to 4.16 billion years old. The primary contenders include the Acasta Gneiss in Canada's Northwest Territories (dated up to 4.02–4.2 billion years old) and volcanic...

    How has science impacted your perspective on the Hebrew Bible?

    There is only frustration and discomfort using a very sophisticated highly scientific infrastructure and advanced software to declare science is not valid when it conflicts with my dogmas. It is equivalent to calling someone on the phone to tell them you don't believe in phones.... The reality...

    NightTwister; Adam is very interesting. What would an adult person who had no family, no culture, no ability to count or write or learn a language understand anything about what human being is without family and how can they even talk or name all animals of the earth and sky or intuitively...

    How has science impacted your perspective on the Hebrew Bible?

    I noted your item #4 but is buried under the standard declarations. It does not call for conversion only trying to obey. Matthew 25 is absent as a definition of what "trying to obey" entails. Your definition of morally accountable as something "damnable." Moral accountability is the heartbeat...

    Nero accused Christians of arson and other crimes following the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD. He claimed that they were responsible for the fire, which devastated much of the city. This accusation served as a pretext for a brutal crackdown on Christians, leading to widespread persecution. Many...
