It is obvious that God 'IS' by what is here! The only thinking module 'evolution' is now so far debunked that anyone holding to it appears so foolish both scientifically and mathematical probabilities through chance evaluated! Evolution is not on the topic. The passage, in scripture, says that scripture is not required to know God. 19For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the worldGod’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so thatmen are without excuse.

Not everyone can look at a couple of passages of scripture, taken out of context, and know where they come from so they can get the full meaning of the chapter instead of a sound byte based on a certain spin. The meaning of this chapter is easy to understand. People know that God exists through the creation alone, so they have no excuse for saying that God does not exist. They know He exists, but refuse to serve Him, despite that knowledge. It is impossible to know how to serve God without The Word. Adam, Noah, Lot, and Abraham did the impossible then?

There were 20 links in that quote. But I work to add more as you request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it surpass my understanding and learning? Is it objective? Before I submit this I want to say that I believe in an objective morality but I need help to further understand it before i even try to explain it to someone else. Anyone got an answer? If you are standing before God, He knows everything, so his conclusions are objective. Anyone else has a subjective view of words, deeds, everything. I knew a blind student that could "picture" math and algebra. Everything people experience is subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you want to invoke special pleading. Yes, each writer in the Bible was an individual person. As I say, any important topic in Christianity is covered by more than one writer providing multiple viewpoints. A large amount of controversial stuff doesn't pass that test.

This was the point where Saul lost his kingdom and Agag lost his life, and where still eternal destinies are lost or won as we learn the lesson or refuse to be led in triumph by our conquering Lord. God had determined that the race of Amalek and the house of Agag should be utterly exterminated. They were not to be spared, but to be destroyed. It was a case of no compromise. There was nothing good in them. The least element of Agagism was destructive, and the whole community, with all their goods and belongings, must be put out of existence, just as the effects of a household where some one had died of some contagious disease must be wholly given to the flames. This is God’s decree against the flesh in us. It cannot be cleansed; it cannot be improved; it cannot be cultivated; it cannot be educated into good ideas and principles. The flesh must be exterminated." When the posts of a poster never pass the test, and he can still continue posting, what then ? < shrugs > we simply note it and go on.... warning others at every opportunity, as Yahweh Directs ....

That's exactly what I think it means. Scripture is not a critical as many hold it to be. Here is what scripture says about how Holy it is: "useful for teaching" Edited November 11, 2017 by SkyWriting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
