You spout a lot of theory, but little substance. Oh, there are exceptions in the states that ban abortion, which clearly explains why avoidable deaths from pregnancies are increasing, especially in those states, the exceptions are so clear. Cases where, by date X, one must decide if the fetus...

Scotus rules on arguments for or against constitutionality. In some cases, a superior argument is presented after a previous case has been heard and thus a prior ruling is overturned. But regarding abortions, you do realize don't you, that in since the latest ruling the number of avoidable...

Scripture is the c ontext, but politics is also in this specific thread. In the USA, where many posters live, our political situation includes the USA's Constitution which guarantees freedom of religion, thus in the USA we may not take a completely Christian stance with regards to the law but...

The letter of the Law condemns, but the spirit of the Law gives life. Jesus summed up all the Law in saying that one should love God with all their heart, mind and soul, and to also love others as one loves themselves. Additionally, the 10 Commandments in Hebrew read better as declarative...

I have also argued for life beginning with human-like brain wave patterns appearing, and most abortions occur before this time. As for the clear issues of late term abortions, I would ask, how many have experienced the loss of a fetus in late term? Typically, by then the parents are at least...

When life begins is not yet universally recognized. Even those citing the Bible cannot agree, this makes the beginning of life an OPINION not a fact, and citing a religious text to support your OPINION moves the discussion into the realm of FREEDOM OF RELIGION, which is a Constitutional right...

Good, so you acknowledge that in scripture, God declares that His Word is a person, not something written down, and also that in scripture, that we are told that there is knowledge about God to be gained from creation in addition to the human written scriptures. So nice to know that you are...

One thing that is often overlooked is the context of the NT times. What did the average person know without having to have it specifically referenced? Most Christian sources have to get past some "Statement of Faith", which does not always recognize certain truths, such as the "Great Councils"...

Gee, and scripture tells us that we can learn of God through the natural world. How does that make God's Word, which according to scripture is a person, not a written work, become reconciled with that?

Actually, some of us find that the most satisfying encounters is with an honest atheist who will not immediately shift to the default "danger" subprogram when the person they are talking to asks a question that is not in the preprogrammed and approved list, that is a question that might actually...

Welcome jmathai, I understand your questions about AI and faith. AI is something relatively new and its future is unclear. It has the potential to be very good or very bad, depending on how it is used and further developed. It is great for digging through massive amounts of data to find the...

Welcome Natureisbeautiful. Today I am grateful for lovely weather, slightly cool but sunny, and very pleasant allowing my dog and I a very nice walk this morning and time to be outside improving my yard in the afternoon.

Welcome Ariful, since you are from Bangladesh I would be surprised if English was your first language. There are many in here who are willing to be friends, and most have knowledge of the Bible and at least some exposure to Christian theology. Coming from a Muslim background I am certain that...

Welcome Bojo. You can post general questions here, but there are a lot of other forums available where you might well get better answers, maybe even find a discussion on your questions already going on.

Welcome Rubai_Yang.

WelcomeCjohnson1127, there are many chats in the various forums here. Just find something that sounds interesting and join in. I also read a lot, study philosophy as well as history and various theories, at least as long as they seem to have some basis in knowable facts and not just pure...

Welcome Precious, aka Prettynwa

Amen to the comment about context being important. How many people realize the context of many core Christian beliefs. The Great Ecumenical Councils were held to determine who was eligible for imperial funds and who should be left out. The first, Nicaea in 325 ended up largely being an active...

Yes, I looked it up and taking that action allowed me to find answers to questions, and to learn that there is a lot of evidence that something is being deliberately hidden in scripture. Why did the Romans persecute Christians? Scripture implies that there would be no reason for it...
