Now be king. U had a parakeet that talked. For a day or two before it fully learned a new phrase it would spout gibberish, then suddenly come out with a perfect phrase. Some humans just never get past the gibberish phrase. They learn one thing and then force everything else to fit around it...

Your point one is one of the three traditional "proofs of God" and logically sound. Point two becomes more questionable. language is widespread among various creatures, moral consciousness seems present in many species and God consciousness is impossible to affirm or deny outside of humanity as...

Where did the notion that the death of one person may benefit the relationship between another person and God arise from? Without that concept already existing somewhere it is hard to understand how the concept that Jesus's death compensated for the sin of other people arose from. But if one...

I am so glad you know so much based on so little information. The individual I referenced has not received any money for her speaking engagements, so it is hard to see where she is earning a little "filthy lucre", but you with your great insights, must know better. Likewise, you know so well...

Scripture tells us that ALL sin is an abomination. Scripture also tells us that ALL people sin, believers are not exempted. Thus, to identify a single example of sin as being worse than any other, including those that are committed by those who claim to walk by the spirit, are contradicting...

Scripture also says that y9ou will be judged by the standards you use. Many actions are considered sinful; do you avoid them all or are you going to find out the hard way? You deem people outside of salvation because of something considered sinful, so that is your standard, remember ALL sin...

Welcome Maryyy2, glad to have you here. Ask if you are confused about things, lots of people are here who will try to help.

Welcome Mike

Then why praise states that have passed and uphold such laws? Why seek to impose Christian standards that are debatable as not all Christians hold them, on non-Christians? What an individual does or does not do is an issue between the individual and God, why encourage and support the...

One issue that seem to be overlooked, likely because it is inconvenient, is that some states have legislated that after 6 weeks, any action to end a pregnancy must include action to preserve the life of the fetus. This can lead to situation where a woman goes to the ER with a known problem and...

Are they all fake Christians by your definition or by God's. The Holy Spirit does not lead people to sin. Do you sin? If you say you do not then the truth is not in you according to 1 John, yet by your own standard, if you do then you are a fake Christian.

Christian morals apply to Christians. Generic morals belong to the government. Theft and generally recognized murder are generic morality, but abortion is not generally recognized as murder, not even all Christians can agree on that point. I am not shifting the argument, rather you are...

Not every person accepts the Bible as authoritative, thus they cannot be expected to comply with its demands just because you choose to. That is a simple fact and one protected by the US Constitution, it is called FREEDOM OF RELIGION. You are not allowed to force your religious views on...

But with regards to calling all abortions after that point to be murder I would remind you that killing another person in war or executing someone under a court order is not considered to be murder. That is why I would leave the RARE option of post sentience abortion as an option in cases where...

When I think about Satan and sin being defeated, I am reminded of what a professor told our class one time. If a python gets in a room it can be a grave danger to anyone in the room, so you shoot it. But even a fatally shot python can thrash around and cause a whole lot of damage before it is...

Oh, we could create one just for you. For most people, judges are quite capable of making reasonable decision, sometimes involving life or death, but for you ww can make a special one.

What I have yet to notice in this discussion is 1st century context. What was known by the general public in the 1st century that we do not easily know today and how is it relevant?

My family qualifies as pioneer families in Michigan, Lenawee County to be exact.

I never intended to give my position on the matter. That is between me and God. And states are fumbling the issue. We need national guidelines, preferably defining when life begins and in a way that can withstand court challenges.

Not to mention that at 6 weeks there is no heart, so the suggestion that there is a heartbeat is pure folly. It is just a regular electrical signal. I would not totally ban abortion after sentience, but I would require judicial permission for a specific cause, such as a fatal birth defect or a...
