On the day you eat...
by PSacramento insince it has been brought up a few time, i though it cool to post this interpretation of this part of genesis 2:.
http://biologos.org/blog/genesis-creation-and-ancient-interpreters-on-the-day-you-eat-of-it/.
one issue that occupied the attention of many early interpreters is found in genesis 2:16-17, where god warns not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for on the day you eat of it you shall die.. the problem is well known: adam (and eve) did eat of the fruit, but they did not die on that day.

Why (time and again) Jehovah's Witnesses set dates
by Terry inthe method by which people accept god as a reality is called faith and belief which is a bypass exempting proof.. faith is seen as a virtue and lack of faith as a moral failing.. so, why the insistance on dragging proof into the discussion?.
something called a isn't the same as something called not a.. faith is a workaround.
proof is evidence confirming fact.. so, which is it going to be?

Does the Bible Teach a Second Chance After Death?
by Ding inthe bible teaches a resurrection of the dead, but does it teach a second chance after death or a judgment based on our life before we died?.
hebrews 9:27 says: " just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28 so christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will .
appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.".

Where in the Bible does it say God is omniscient?
by sabastious ini don't care about scriptures that say god is "all knowing" or "know all my hairs on my head" cause that could all be done without being omniscient.
are there any bible verse's that speak specifically of god's omniscience?.

Can the Gospels be Dated Early?
by XJW4EVR inthis is the first post examining the manuscript and scriptural evidence for an early dating of the four gospels.
again the author is looking for both positive and negative feedback, as well as spirited good-natured debate with those that may not agree with his opinions.
all posts will be allowed provided they are civil and use appropriate language (inapporpriate language will be removed, but the post will not)..

Do you ENJOY these endless theism/atheism - faith/reason - creation/evolution debates?
by nicolaou in.
sure i get frustrated when i have to explain for the bajillionth time just why atheism is not a belief or why it is possible to know some things with 100% certainty but despite all the exasperations i still count it as one of the rewards of freeing my mind and exiting the wt that i can argue so endlessly and freely.. even if some of you do get on my tits sometimes .
