Taking the Sunday off was a bit feeble, no?
I mean, how did he even know it was Sunday before he (oops, HE) created everything?
Did time exist pre-God’s busy week? Mind blowing stufff, innit?
ps isn’t 38 a bit early to be worried about your mortality? |
I think my first thoughts about the creation account recorded in the bible are that the bible does not focus on the "how" but much more on "who and why". God could have created everything in a moment. biblical scholars I have studied tell me God did it this way as a pattern for us to follow. The sun moon and stars were not created until day 4 in the biblical account by the way, but the word used for day in the Genesis account is the same as in the rest of the bible so I take it to mean 24hrs. It is mind blowing indeed!
At 38 years of age I was far more concerned with my morality than my mortality... I began to realise that if there was a possibility that there was a God and I had to give account ....... i would be undone |  | | |

I knew a chap who was convinced the Earth was 2000 years old. Used to have great debates with him over a sandwich and cup of tea. He was a great man. |
I read a book once called 2000 years of welsh history. |  |

Does a child molester, who has become born again, go to heaven? |
what do you believe the answer to be?
How does anyone have peace with God and get to be in heaven? | | | |

I’m interested in what you think the answer would be?
My guess is that you would say that if he was born again a child molester would go to heaven as Jesus has paid for his sins already. I’m not born again so I wouldn’t go to heaven in your belief system.
Am I wrong? |  |

The suggestion in your response seems to be that you think I am gullible, quite often there seems to be a false dichotomy drawn up which goes something like atheist/agnostic equals intelligence/wisdom and faith equals foolishness... on what what grounds i am not so sure. | | | |

If a person is genuine in their repentance then they can be forgiven, Man looks at the outward appearance God looks at the heart. To molest a child is a horrendous thing to do but redemption is possible for the vilest offender. That is the power of the gospel. | | | |

I heard only people that have been christened go to heaven, I was christened in the local pub but I assume that was the shindig afterwards, lol. | |

"That is the power of the gospel."
Which gospel(s) though? There were many which were removed in the first couple of hundred of years of Christianity. Some for political purposes some to remove contradictory teachings and some because of misogyny . As ever, the "words of (a) God" are altered through time by men with vested interests. I wonder why that is... |  |

Gospel meaning good news.. as found in the bible as opposed to different gospels (of Judas or Thomas etc). The criteria applied by the council of Nicea and then Constantinople 321 AD was as follows: letters Written by one of Jesus' disciples, someone who was a witness to Jesus' ministry, such as Peter, or someone who interviewed witnesses, such as Luke.
Written in the first century A.D., meaning that books written long after the events of Jesus' life and the first decades of the church weren't included.
Consistent with other portions of the Bible known to be valid, meaning the book couldn't contradict a trusted element of Scripture.
seems reasonable and sensible? what grounds do you have to suggest the motives of these men were anything other than honourable? Also if God is sovereign wouldn't he be able to oversee and ensure the truth was communicated? | | | |

What is baptism? can being immersed in water change anything? or was there more going on when you were baptised? | | | |

At the start :- ''Our Lord Jesus Christ has told us
that to enter the kingdom of heaven
we must be born again of water and the Spirit,
and has given us baptism as the sign and seal of this new birth''.
Then after a little splash :- ''May God, who has received you by baptism into his Church''.
In my neck of the woods some Christians think you are only going to heaven if you have been baptised. | |
