Re: Satan
I agree. It is not an easy thing to support. It is argumentative. It is more difficult to support something from nothing. No matter which way you spin atheism this is inevitably the claim. I find that it is far more easier to accept that God would like people to follow his laws on faith that God exists. Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of science suggesting God does exist. The first is a material universe can't of come from nothing as noted above. Dr Hugh Ross, physicist and pastor has a very good argument uniting a bb inflationary universe with the Bible. He also has a good argument that Genesis 1 fits modern day scientific discovery. The only discrepency is where does the creation story start in Gen 1:1 or Gen 1:3? When you realize science does support the Bible (as per ross' argument) there is little ground to dismiss the Bible except in moral arguments which can't prove God does not exist but instead just that you don't like God's (biblical god) morals. If the creation story does start in Gen 1:1 as prior to day 1 on earth, then it is remarkable people so far removed got it right. They wrote it down before we scientifically discovered it. Hence why it does take more faith to accept something from nothing. In another argument the electric universe argues we have no idea if gravitational theories are correct falsifying inflation. Ultimately there is no reason except disagreements with morality to hate on the Bible which like I said doesn't show God doesn't exist but rather God is holy.

Re: Provincial deity
How God thinks and what God does is up to God. Apparently it was important for man to build a home for God on earth (hence why land is important). It is arguable that a God shouldn't need man to build God a home on earth. However this is precisely the argument. I would argue God does want man to build him a home on earth, it would show that man has a great desire to be with God. It would show that man does love God.

Re: Not pointless
I realize other people read the forums. I think it is pretty normal to question faith hence the word "faith". Personally I like the idea of questioning everything.

Tangle, I am responding from my cell often so I tend to get annoyed when texting a response. I will try to be clear.

Re: Satan
I don't agree with the YEC on biblical literature. I'm more of a electric universe supporter in science and in theology I agree a lot with Dr Hugh Ross.

Re: Satan
Ref to the first law in ex 21. It is the foundation of the law you speak about. The context of my prior post was for YOU. You seem to hate on the Bible and tend to ignore the original context of messages in the Bible. You even forgot to mention in lev 25 it is referring to heathen.

Re: Satan
If God is perfect the Bible is perfect. I haven't memorized apologetics. I'm arguing points from my personal vantage. You have to be able to distinguish a person agreeing with what others say vs those following what others say. I read very little from apologetic websites. I believe in asking God before asking people.

Re: Satan
I'm saying if God says it's law it is law. I will argue this point long before I argue if man says it's law it is law. You do realize Hitler was atheist right?

Re: Satan
If man is ultimately where all things stem, in morality, then clearly religion is not the issue.

Re: Satan
There is no assumption. It is a conclusion. Did you not read where it is written "the lord said unto the serpent because thou has done this, thou are cursed..." Gen 3:14.
The serpent was being deceptive. Eve told the serpent, she would die, the serpent said no you wont. Result man dies, hence the great fall. Hence why we die.. You know, why we return to dust...

Re: Satan
Hence why God is holy. How do I know God is not evil? = revelation, biblical theology and satanic studies.
