There is a lot of wild speculation. Some say we can't really know but it is a beast/man. Some say we can't really know but it is symbol and not a beast/man. The correct answer, of course, is "Yes."

I am trained in biochemistry and for a time pursued Medicine. I have personal friends there. I have a son in medical school who has also done neurobiological research and has just had his research published a journal. He has an upcom…

Oh, I do. I have tried to keep up on that and love science. I agree with 31,000 American scientists alone who are involved in professional science at this point. (Imagine if we added scientists from other countries how that number w…

Did your mother never teach you that following the crowd was sometimes a bad idea? There is no logical reasoning that concludes a fact based on majority belief. Many tens of thousands of dissenting respected scientists across a broad…

I am sorry, David. We pray for you and your community there.

Absolutely!

Or it could mean Brother Mel was in fact Jesus. That would also solve the riddle. You know, a LOT of peopel think that. (For the record I lean strongly away from Mel actually being Jesus, but just for the sake of reason I discuss this).

Yeah, I didn't check each one of the 31,487 for scientist status. Maybe you did check each one and do know. I took your word for it that some might only be science-trained professionals from a broad range of perspectives and not prese…

I respect your right to ignore the petition of 31,487 scientists and extremely well-educated people across multiple disciplines (+/- a couple pranksters that have probably already been deleted) in your belief that you know better than they do.
(Quote)Yes, the list has been around a long time and has grown a lot. It won't go away, will it? Just keeps growing.
Yes, the skeptical article goes to great length and very unconvincingly attempts to discredit the signatures. But …
(Quote)Yes, you have mentioned that before, so can you now tell us, in a case like this, why not?
I think you have a good point, Dave. My dad is a gentle, kind old person. Would die for anyone of any race. Yet he loves jokes about different countries and even ethnicities. I am sometimes quite embarrassed by those jokes. Some people would …
- Some posts get held back.
- For me, posts appear multiple times if I edit. (I think).
The Holy Spirit is not our genie but does guide us. God does speak to us and His sheep hear his voice
I presume then that to you "death" for a person means they utterly cease to exist, body. soul and spirit; and God sort of re-creates them in the future? Maybe resurrects or recreates certain of their molecules somehow?

Whatever assertions and arguments we make for whether Mel was Jesus or not, there remains some mystery about him. Certainly, Mel is a type of Christ and possibly Christ Himself.
Thanks for adding more insight.
I also don't think the "Big Bang" as a theory and the voice of God are unrelated. I am YEC and just don't have a problem with apparent "age." There are a variety of explanations, but a literal reading of creation dispenses with a lot of troubl…
Dave spoke well.
I think that God can be known because His attributes are knowable in Scripture, but also outside Scripture.

(Quote)I have no answer for you to that one.
This one simple thing will clear it all up:
Wolfgang's body is all Wolfgang, but not all of Wolfgang is body. There is something more, some "being" there that cannot and will not ever die. Same with the body of Jesus.
Wolfgang, …
That is good news that FL is bringing CD back. Yet, I hope you leave this forum here. It may serve a different and excellent purpose.
Thanks for your thoughts. Some good stuff--all above.
David, I think Bill knows better. Once he has lost a cause he starts blowing political smoke awhile.
(Quote)think it would be a great loss were we now to decide that the Statue and the Lazarus poem no longer speak for us.
Here is how it was originally done when that poem was written--being done legally and with planning.
I am saving that. Well done.

(Quote)Thanks for addressing that affirmatively.
Almost anything literal could be taken figuratively. Consider the genre and context. Usually, people including Bible writers are fairly clear and somehow indicate they are being figurative when they are. Otherwise, they are probably being lite…
