    Does God exist?

    All good. I'm the same, I sometimes re-read old posts and think what was going on in my head haha. Agreed. Generally I think Pascal's wager oversimplifies the things that needs to be considered. What about agnosticism? Pascal's wager might sway one from being an atheistic agnostic to a...

    Does God exist?

    Addressing the second first, I don't think that is accurate embryology. I don't think a blood clot is a valid stage of embryo development. BUT both Hippocrates and Aristotle have the same prenatal development, 1000 years before Quran. (I can produce some material if you so desire) Secondly...

    Does God exist?

    Ah careful, as the bold text can be misleading or even heretical. That is a huge difference man! If according to Scripture, God has revealed himself as 3 persons, according to Scripture, then Islam is heretical to say that God is only one person (that is the why the council of Nicea &...

    Does God exist?

    Yes - to the existence of one God who creates and is all powerful; and monotheism (there is only one God) No - to their understanding of that God being the same. The nature of these Gods are different. Christians know God as triune, Muslims do not, modern day Jews* do not. (Muslims have the...

    Does God exist?

    Pascals wager is not very logically sound, nor is it what God desires. People shouldn't be believing in God merely to escape hell or judgement, because the alternative (to judgement) is to spend eternity with God which is good, but for those who dislike or even hate God, then that is a terrible...

    Does God exist?

    I presume you are referring to the ending of the gospel of Mark. You do realise we (Christians, historians, textual critics) are all aware of that and most English translations bracket that section off for a reason because long and behold we have even earlier manuscripts don't have the longer...

    self care

    its a good idea to take a rest day. this is a day where you do no school/HSC related work. Typically this is a day where you can invest in hobbies, sport, seeing friends, going to church (if that is your thing) etc.

    Forum Rules

    Added subsections (6) and (7) to Section 1 with clarification; to reminder members not to abuse free speech to deliberately provoke members. Added subsection (3) and (4) to Section 3, as some users think it is appropriate to discuss the same controversial topic across several threads, thereby...

    Same Sex Marriage Debate

    Yes, and that is what tolerance looks like. I hope people can see the rationale, and see that it isn't just bigotry. I would use principle, yes I have beliefs regarding that (which are much more than what I have expoused), I've simplified provided the rationale, devoid of any religious/moral...

    Same Sex Marriage Debate

    Perhaps, regardless of that, it is still something grounded in biology. albeit it harder to understand the human brain/mind then to observe ones physical bodily features as such. And I don't necessarily agree the contemporary view of gender is grounded in the right things. I often see this as...

    Same Sex Marriage Debate

    Sorry but things such as gender are not mere constructs, neither is sociology. Take gender for instance, it is biologically determined (even intersex can be explained genetically). Granted, not everything is rooted in biology and it doesn't have to be. I take it that even social conventions...

    Same Sex Marriage Debate

    While I agree that it represents an trend which is at the very least concerning, it is slippery slope to suggest that gay marriage will necessarily result in the legislation of marriage for 5 year olds or polygamous marriage (I doubt the former, and the latter while being more likely but not...

    Same Sex Marriage Debate

    Socially it is better for a child to be with both their natural father and mother. There are benefits for a positive male and female role model in the rearing of children, which is intrinsically connected with marriage. Gay marriage doesn't seem to lend itself favourably towards children this...

    Does God exist?

    wrong. 1. The Bible is not merely "disseminated by word of mouth over centuries". 2. Secondly the weight of textual evidence begs to differ. There is a solid case for preservation of the texts of both the Old Testament and New Testament, while that does not prove the truthfulness of the text, it...

    Is there hope without a God?

    Let me rephrase, your summary even more succinctly. The existence of God can (but does not necessarily) provide a ground for hope, because God can ensure certain things take place, and so the believer who has faith (confidence) in what God says will happen can have hope expecting it to happen...
