Using the sword of truth like a blunt hammer only isolates.
Jeff, I must ask myself why, as you say, people are worshiping science. Can they not find frameworks, mystery, hope and challenge in spirituality?
Fortunately, it is not necessary that everyone descend into extreme addiction (vice) to develop profo…
Yes David Bee, all potential sources of knowledge should be given an honest look however there are so many sources that it would take years to get through them all. I am suggesting that each one of us here is a potential sources of knowledge. For ex…
Bee, enjoy your book.
Given these "problems" with the Bible, if the God of the Bible is the God of reality (as I believe He is), I do not wonder at all about His reasons for bringing forth the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is the anchor of my faith in Jesus Christ.…
"without any possibility of appreciating its stories of actual greater underlying metaphoric meanings"
Roman, Did Moses lifting serpant for Israel to look upon and be spared the death they were facing have anything to do with the lifting up of Chri…
Jeff. anyone would be bewildered if others insisted they turn away from a profound personal experience. I hope you do not feel I or others are challenging the validity of your experience or belief. We did not come to RG to change each other - did we…
The bible is a great book. Though not perfect by any means in its many years of attempted transliterations involving additions and edits, and as its historical development with its endless diversity of interpretations bares out, even to this day as…
Goodmorning Kernal,
Over a year ago there was a very strident debate between a mormon and I. It was ugly, and I learned from it. I mispoke earlier when I refered to this thread, I meant this topic. You'll note I haven't participated much. I don't w…
Thanks Jeff,
Glad to hear from you and thanks for sharing as you have. I'm not sure I understand your reference (9 hours ago) about bringing this thread back to life? Nevertheless. . .
As for me being full of myself, I can see how you would say tha…
Thanks Katinka. The book referral is appreciated.
Kernal, you're a might full of yourself there bud. I didn't bring this thread back to life, and have resisted jumping into another me vs. mormon debate. Just not worth the trouble. I guess I've grown up a little in my time on RG, even at 49 years.…
Here is how I see it.
We are spiritual beings having a mortal experience. Currently our physical body and our spirit body are inseparably connected until our physical body dies, when we will leave our physical body.
I am unable to physically detect…
I have been taught, and believe, that it is only with an open mind can one find the truth. I do not believe that there will be any conflict between scientific fact/truth and religious fact/truth, when all is known. Theories are not fact, but are par…
I also believe that our spiritual selves are made up of a form of matter much finer that what we can perceive with our physical bodies, but matter none the less, which cannot be destroyed - maybe of a material like "dark" matter.
DB, you suggest tha…
David Bee. Personally, as once a theologiacal academic that has moved into the fields of science. May I say that I admire your own personal ability as a modernday christian in being able to stand back and open mindedly take part in these discussions…
When we fully understand teleportation, if it is really possible, maybe we will know how beings from another world manage to visit this one, as some claim to have been visited? The realm of possibilities expand as we learn.
