Re: Can you look at religion scientifically, and still believe God exists? - July 24th 2009, 09:37 PM

Very well. I will sum the video up later tonight as time allows; and may be posted tomorrow.

The Holy Spirit is in us, yes but we get our answers through His Word, the Bible. As far as accreditation goes, no buddy has credibility, you learn this throughout school. This is why teachers want citation. You need to provide sources where you acquired your information because as you start citing sources you begin attain credible answers and people are more inclined to believe you.

Let me sum up your answers to be more clear. And please allow me to apologize for getting frustrated, as I shouldn't have.

I believe the Bible, cover to cover, word for word. I believe that it is the infallible and inerrant word of God, all of it written by men through the breath of God Himself.

I believe God Created the world, sin rules the world, because of sin we are separated from God, God provided a Savior so we can be reconciled back to Him and fellowship with God like we used to, we have an opportunity to be saved, I believe Jesus will judge the world, destroy the world, remake the world perfect, and I believe everyone will go to Heaven or Hell, there is no in between and most people will not go to Heaven. (I can provide references if you want them, just ask)

1) God has revealed Himself. And we CAN know He is real. And is not a figment of our imaginations.
Romans 1:18-21, Psalms 19:1-6, Romans 2:14-15, Romans 8:14-16

2) Everyone has faith in something, even though it may not be God. Many people believe in God but do not trust Him as their savior.
James 2:19

3) There is only one God. Faith in anything else results in condemnation, because we can only be saved through Jesus.
Acts 4:12, James 2:19, Deuteronomy 32:39, Isaiah 45:18, Isaiah 46:9, 1 Corinthians 8:4

4) We know which God is real by faith, and when we have faith in the God of the Bible our adoption is confirmed.
Romans 8:14-16


This is what I believe. If you do not, that is up to you. I am not here to argue these points just show what I believe, and those are the answers to your questions.

The verses I referenced also show a warning about science, and the wisdom of man (maybe you didn't read all the versus I provided).

You see the Bible is divided by Old and New testament, the old testament was written hundreds of years before Jesus came, and Angels in the old testament, and even God, came to men and would talk to them, and these books prophesied of a Man named Jesus. It gave descriptions of where He would be born, by whom He'd be born, what His name would be and the meaning of it, that He would sacrifice our sins, be risen again, and reconcile us back to God. All of this written hundreds of years before it even happened! And then the New testament comes into play where all of these prophecies come true. This is how we know Jesus is God. Now these are all HISTORICALLY accurate, and Biblically accurate. Meaning both studies out side of the bible prove all of this, and the bible also confirms it.

You see all of these are proven historically accurate by other accounts that all of this did happen, but the old testament talks about it before it happens. And the new testament tells that it happened, and why it happens.

When you take the Bible and dissect it, whether you chose to believe it or not, it is quite a remarkable piece of work.

If you wish I can provide versus of the prophecy being predicted and then coming true. There is also archeology evidences that things that occurred in the Bible, really happened. I know you're not a fan of looking things up, but here's a website with some examples: http://www.newcreationstudies.org/Ne...htm#archeology

Anyways. I have some things to do. I will post some of that video tonight or tomorrow, but I will get around to it.

Again forgive me for coming out wrong. I'm sorry for getting angry with you. Hope this provides some answers for your questions, if not you did say you are curious to what I believe, and this is what I believe.

[edit]

As for the poster above, yes it is a religious site. The speaker used to be a scientist, and when he became saved he started a ministry with arguments towards what he used to believe.
