good info..

It seems that now, in the 21st century, science has confirmed religion. So science and religion do overlap. The mysterious images on the Turin Shroud have been proven to be miraculous by the 1988 radiocarbon evaluation of this cloth. The readings indicated a 14th century date, while, at the same time, art history proved a sixth century extancy for the cloth's facial image. Since related relics also have shown severely skewed radiocarbon dates, a neutron flux must be hypothesized in order to account for the discepancies as well as for the missing spectrum of the Shroud's blood. Since dead human bodies cannot generate neutron fluxes, a miraculous event is proven. The conclusion is that science has uncovered a religious miracle. See: "The Enigma of the Sign of Jonah," BSTS Shroud Newsletter, Summer 2023.

"it is still a theory", are you really that ignorant or is it your way to bring the sciences down to the level of your theology? secondly science is a method not a belief based on the utterances of authority figures like your christianity, therefore you quoting scientists of centuries ago only show your desperation about and willful misunderstanding of what science is.

Here is Part two, which I said I would post later. It dovetails with my post four hours ago, so read that one first. Part 2. @jonathanross2304 I will answer each of your points. You said: 1. If god cannot create a place where free will exists but evil does not exist, then what is heaven? Answer: It is a place where God dwells, and the saints (Christians) will dwell with Him. Everyone there will have free will, but they will also have experiential knowledge from their time on the earth as mortals with sinful, selfish bodies. They will have sin-free bodies like Satan, Adam, and Eve had the day they were created. They will have learned the knowledge of good and evil through their life experiences on Earth. They won't want to sin because they've lived through the consequences of choosing selfishness. You said: Is there free will in heaven? Answer: Yes, because without free will a being does not have the capacity to love. You said: Is heaven free of evil? Answer: Yes, because God will remove Satan, the demons, and all lost souls and contain them in eternal torment, separated from the saints, God, and everyone else. (Matthew 13:41-42, NIV) says, “The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth” You said: If so, how is god able to create those conditions in heaven when you explicitly said that was impossible? I've heard people argue that the people in heaven are the ones who have free will and exclusively use it to do good and never evil. Answer: When people finally realize how bad sin is and how good God is, there should be a major paradigm shift in their view of life and reality. They should come to the revelation that we must accept Christ and pursue holiness no matter the personal cost. That changed attitude and understanding will show in our day-to-day decisions, and others will see that major change in our lives, too. God is ultimately trying to cultivate that change of heart in those who truly accept Him as Lord. With this understanding in our hearts, we will never want to sin. This attitude will carry over into the next life when we receive our new sinless, glorified bodies. The pain and heartache of experiencing and witnessing the magnitude of sin in this life will intensify and entrench this attitude and understanding into our eternal souls. **We will still have the choice to sin in eternity, but no sinful, selfish nature to fight. We will have learned the knowledge of good and evil through our human life experiences on this fallen planet.** It's just like a man who finds a virtuous wife who is so in love and committed to him; the Lord is looking for people who will know and love Him so much that they would never be tempted to sin against Him like Adam and Eve. In Isaiah 63:8-9 (NLT), we read, “He said, ‘They are my very own people. Surely, they will not betray me again,’ And he became their Savior. In all their suffering he also suffered, and he personally rescued them. In his love and mercy, he redeemed them. He lifted them up and carried them through all the years.” Faithfulness is choosing to be devoted even when tempted by other choices. But people cannot be faithful unless they truly believe God is real and trust Him. That’s why I return to that profound verse in Hebrews 11:6 (NIV), “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Do you want to spend eternity with selfish people or unselfish people? You said: But in that case, an omniscient god would already know ahead of time who those people were who would freely choose him and would freely choose to do no evil. Why not only create them? That seems to me a very simple way to avoid untold suffering for the billions of people that will end up falling short of heaven. Unless of course god desires that countless people suffer eternally but then I would question his benevolence. Answer: Free will and God’s sovereignty co-exist in tension. Even though God knows the outcome of our life through our own choices, He allows humans to choose good or evil without constant intervention. In other words, He allows us to be ourselves to reveal what we really believe and want through our life choices. Some people’s sins and lies in the past have set vast numbers of human souls on a course to hell. And unless Christians share the Gospel with them, they will slip into eternity, separated from God. People get up in arms about the so-called unfairness of God in sending people to hell when they never had a chance to hear the Gospel. But the unfortunate truth is that even when lost people hear the Gospel in a clear factual way, the majority of the world chooses not to accept Christ. Most people upset with God about this so-called “unfairness” already know what the Gospel says but refuse to accept Jesus. That is why Jesus said in Matthew 7:13-14 (NIV), “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” One may ask, “Why do men choose sin over Christ?” The answer comes from Jesus in John 3:19-20 (NIV): “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.” You said: 2. You mentioned that the best rebuttal to the question of why god permits evil and suffering is to point out that god may have sufficient reason that we aren't privy to. That's fair to a certain extent but ultimately being all powerful entails the ability to actualize one's will without contingencies. So if for example a child suffers through cancer and dies... while that may sound tragic, you can always argue that god has a higher plan; a greater purpose... That the ends justify the means. But an all powerful god should be able to actualize his will and bring about his greater purpose without relying on the suffering of a child. If the suffering of a child was a necessary step, it would imply that gods powers are constrained by contingencies and this would mean he wouldn't be all powerful. If instead we say that he could have actualized his will without the child's suffering, but he chose to include it as part of his plan, he's not all loving. Answer: Every human suffers to one degree or another, and every human dies a physical death. Some people suffer for a very short period, some suffer for a lifetime. But no human soul ceases to exist. Against the backdrop of eternity, the mortal human lifespan is just a vapor. James 4:14 (NASB) states, “Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.” Even lifelong infirmities and sufferings seem like an eternity because we have had no reference for existence other than time since birth. But we are given the intellectual capacity to understand that sufferings here and now in this life are temporary if we choose to put our faith and belief in what God’s Word says in the Bible. It is like an infant child suffering the momentary pain of vaccination to benefit from the lifelong immunity that the injection brings. The injection takes a brief moment compared to the many years of the person’s life. But the infant screams in pain and fear and doesn’t understand why the parent is allowing someone to inflict this pain. Compared to the eons of future existence that we will experience, a life of seventy years or so is just a momentary vapor. This does not diminish the seriousness of lifelong suffering but offers hope through reason by viewing suffering from an eternal perspective. All the moral evil in this world comes from two sources: (1) The sinful selfishness of men and women acting on their sinful lusts and desires, and (2) the Kingdom of Darkness that tries to influence the hearts and minds of humans for their eternal destruction. I have posted 11 reasons on this page as to why a good God currently allows evil, pain, and suffering to continue for a season. I hope that you read that for more details. It’s all part of the training, testing, and refining of the human race of gods. You claim God should be able to “actualize one's will without contingencies.” Yes, if he were dealing with a lower-level created being or a pre-programmed robot with firmware on good and evil installed. But we’re talking about the training of an immortal god who will be given power and authority. We’re talking about creatures with minds, wills, and emotions like ours. We’re talking about ourselves! He wants us to be unselfish and holy like Him because we’ve decided we want to, not created so that we have to.

Part 1: This is my understanding from my studies. I need to lay a foundation before I can directly answer you. My book has 223 pages. It’s hard to copy and paste that much. I’m not in it for the money. But I am trying to recover my publishing expenses. God created humans because he wants (he doesn’t need) beings like him to have fellowship and intimacy. He has free will, and humans have free will. God has perfect self-control and perfect knowledge, so he knows that he must always be “others-focused” and not self-focused because He holds absolute power (omnipotence). We are on God’s level. Just as a human will not have intimacy with another specie, God will not have intimacy with a being who is not on his level. [John 10:34 (NIV): “Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods”‘?” Jesus was referring to Psalm 82:6 (NIV) “I said, ‘You are “gods”; you are all sons of the Most High.’”] Repeating, God created humans to have an intimate personal relationship with him. No other creatures, not even angels have that possibility. Humans are special to God. I am not talking Mormonism. Sin is selfishness, righteousness is unselfishness and holiness is sacrificial unselfishness. God’s absolute holiness, His purity from any selfish motivation, keeps His love pure and keeps Him from abusing His absolute power. You’ve heard the saying that absolute power corrupts absolutely. God can hold absolute power without abusing it because He is holy. God is always “others-focused.” He is so focused on others that he was willing to become a human and die the death on the cross to provide the OPPORTUNITY to be restored to a relationship with God. Greater love has no one than this: that a being lay down His life for those he loves. The gift of free will to humans was not just a choice, but a necessity for them to have the capacity to love like Him. Love, in this context, is defined as doing what is best for another without requiring anything in return. This unselfishness, made possible by free will, is a key element in the human-God relationship. However, it's important to remember that free will also comes with the potential to choose selfishness. This underscores the responsibility that comes with this gift and the need for humans to use it wisely in their relationship with God. Because of our high level of being like God (we are gods (little g) in training), we must see how seriously any action we take affects others. Adam and Eve were deceived by the temptation that “you can be like God” by eating the forbidden fruit. It’s so sad, but they already were like God. Their sin caused the human race to be infected with selfishness, which is sin. This is why people don’t want just freedom. They want autonomy. Freedom means you’re free to do anything within the boundaries of right and wrong. But autonomy is where we decide what is right and wrong according to our selfish desires. We don’t want to be told that we can’t do what we want to do when we want to do it the way we want to do life. Sinners do not obey God’s laws. So what’s the problem with selfishness? Selfishness is the motivating and driving force of all sin. If you think about it, the inherent selfishness that all humans are born with IS the sin nature in all of mankind. Satan was created sinless and with free will, but he began to think more highly of himself than he should. In doing this, he filled his heart with pride. Notice that no one tempted Satan. There was no negative influence on him. He just thought he could do whatever he wanted without regard for God. He abused his free will. He thought he could make himself “Like the Most High” (Isaiah 14:14, NIV). Then he used his free will to choose to be selfish. Satan is the first recorded sinner. Then he convinced a third of the angels to follow him. Then he caused the fall of the human race. Lesson #1 to be learned by living in this sin-ridden world: When you are a god your actions, good or bad, will ripple out and affect future beings under you and your domain with effects (good or bad depending on what you do) that you can’t imagine. The Bible says that those who make it to heaven will rule and reign with Christ. Revelation 5:9-10 (NKJV) And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.” 1 Corinthians 6:1-3 (NIV) If any of you has a dispute with another, do you dare to take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the Lord’s people? Or do you not know that the Lord’s people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life! [Luke 12:32 KJV] 32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Lesson #2 to be learned in this life: You MUST control your thought life because, as a god, your thoughts translate to actions towards others. You could destroy others with just an impulsive thought. If God didn’t have self-control, he could have condemned us like Satan and the demons because of our sins. We would all be on our way to eternal containment in flaming torment since the human soul is immortal like God and can’t be annihilated. That is why Jesus raised the bar and said if you have hate in your heart, that’s like the sin of murder. The same goes for lust and covetousness. If you entertain sinful thoughts, it is a sin for a god. Lesson #3 to be learned in this life: Once a god, or angel, chooses sin they are instantly addicted to self. Like one cancer cell, sin grows irreversible and progressively until the being is so completely consumed with selfishness that it will be consumed with hate and rage, just like what has happened to Satan and his demons. Sin is attractive but spiritually deadly. Lesson #4 to be learned in this life: God wants humanity to learn by experience that despite man recognizing the truth about sin and his self-determination to be good, sin inside of man inhibits the ability to be good. We all want to do good, but selfishness is like malware running in the background of our brains. We can use our focused willpower to do tremendously good deeds, but eventually, in quiet, unrestrained moments, selfishness begins to take over again. And we sin again. Just like cancer treatments, you can manage the disease for a while. But unless you get the cure (accepting Jesus is the ONLY cure for sin), the disease will pop up again in the future and continue to grow until death. And spiritual death for humans is containment in tormenting fire separated from God and others for all eternity to prevent another outbreak of sin. I have to stop for now since I have things to do. I will continue later when I get back.

Apologetics: The art and science of keeping one's self steeped in a god delusion.

There’s no problem with evil! God created evil, unleashed it in his supposedly loved children and when, due to poor design and engineering, couldn’t withstand the onslaught of evil….he sent them all to hell. It’s a very poor engineer indeed who blames his product for his failure of design!

Your god only exists as an imaginary character.

Eleven Reasons Why God Allows Pain and Suffering (From the book "Answering the Hard Questions, Learning Answers to Understand and Defend the Christian Faith." SECOND EDITION) 1. Every evil act of man or men has been allowed by God as part of the gift of free will that God has given mankind. God will not tamper with our free will because if he did, then we would be robots and, therefore, not responsible for our actions. Furthermore, free will is a requirement in order for a being to be able to love in the agape sense of the word. Love is a choice, and choices can only be made by beings of free will. God made a promise to man to give him dominion over the earth, and God cannot go back on his promises. Mankind could have continued in paradise, but man’s sins have made our earth full of suffering and misery. While evil seems to run rampant in our world today; ultimately, no one gets away with anything. There will be a payday one day. 2. Pain and suffering will make us go to God, but good times, blessings, and prosperity usually keep us distracted from God. So if pain and suffering turns a person towards God it would seem logical that God allows the consequences of sin to run its normal course; into pain and suffering. Moral evil is the result of humans with free will acting on their selfish, sinful desires and lusts. 3. Just like a muscle needs resistance to be built up, likewise, adverse circumstances are needed to build up and test our faith in Christ and the Bible. Pain and suffering result from adverse circumstances. 4. God wants mankind to learn experientially that in spite of a man recognizing the truth about sin and his self-determination to be good, sin inside of man inhibits the ability to be good. No matter who a person is or where they are in the world if they were to examine themselves and all of mankind and be honest, they would realize everyone has inherent selfishness that cannot be overcome by education, training, medications, or any other way. 5. God has allowed sin to continue so that its consequences can be seen in the lives of people throughout history. The history of the human race is a testimony as to why sin is so bad that it cannot be allowed to continue into eternity; that’s why sin must be eternally separated from those who are holy. That’s why hell is real and eternal. 6. People will talk at length about the existence of God as an intellectual philosophical exercise but pain and suffering make people more serious about understanding and seeking God. Pain and suffering can draw a person to God OR a person’s pain and suffering can cause their anger to lash out and blame God. But it seems like no one wants to blame the devil for anything. 7. Satan's, Adam's, and Eve's choice to sin gives God an opportunity to display his attributes of mercy, forgiveness, and grace. God uses what is selfish and sinful and works it out for the ultimate good and for His glory. Everything that has happened and will happen is being used by God for an ultimate purpose. 8. One reason God allows evil to run its horrible course through human history is to give a glimpse of how bad the universe would get without God to intervene against sin. Do we believe in God’s Word that says the sufferings in the world are temporary? Our life on earth is but a vapor. 9. The physical world that we live in is a temporary stage of existence by which we have the opportunity to develop a faith relationship with God. The way we are now, the way we think and act towards God and others in our mortal bodies will be the way we think and act towards God and others in our immortal bodies. Do we believe God that all things are for our good even if everything appears to be bad and out of control? 10. For Christians, God sometimes uses pain and suffering to move us into action or to change. 11. The pain and suffering caused by evil is a tool to train and prepare believers for eternity where they will have an intimate personal relationship with God and rule and reign over a part of God’s kingdom. Ultimately, we are to take on the character and unselfish holy nature of God. We are to grow up and become like our heavenly father. 1 Peter 1:14-16 (NLT) tells us, “So you must live as God's obedient children. Don't slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn't know any better then. But now you must be holy in everything you do, just as God who chose you is holy. For the Scriptures say, ‘You must be holy because I am holy.’” No greater love has anyone but this - that a man (or woman) lays down their life for those they love. That’s why Jesus says to take up your cross and follow after me. Deny your self. If we love Jesus with our whole heart, then we will love the world by telling them the truth of the Gospel even if they reject, persecute, and kill us. These things we could never understand or learn to do except when there is pain and suffering from sin in the world.

A few questions... 1. If god cannot create a place where freewill exists but evil does not exist then what is heaven? Is there freewill in heaven? Is heaven free of evil? If so, how is god able to create those conditions in heaven when you explicitly said that was impossible? I've heard people argue that the people in heaven are the ones who have freewill and exclusively use it to do good and never evil. But in that case, an omniscient god would already know ahead of time who those people were who would freely choose him and would freely choose to do no evil. Why not only create them? That seems to me a very simple way to avoid untold suffering for the billions of people that will end up falling short of heaven. Unless of course god desires that countless people suffer eternally but then I would question his benevolence. 2. You mentioned that the best rebuttal to the question of why god permits evil and suffering is to point out that god may have sufficient reason that we aren't privy to. That's fair to a certain extent but ultimately being all powerful entails the ability to actualize one's will without contingencies.

If instead we say that he could have actualized his will without the child's suffering, but he chose to include it as part of his plan, he's not all loving. I've got tons more questions, but maybe we can start with those

You find the NSAB superior to the Harper Collins, brought to us by The Society of Biblical Literature?

Nobody here knows Timothy is a forgery? Whats the word? Pseudopigraphy? Attributed to Paul but known not to be written by "the" Paul. Odd place to begin, but hey,...I'm here for the show

The bible has lots of self contradictory verses, starting from genesis. So it cannot be divine.

Another great study, lots of great gold in this one. Thanks to all of the participants.

Great study session

Hey Dave and Annette, good to be back in Puerto Rico and enjoyed when you summarized Colossians this past Sunday at church. Was sitting down for morning coffee and thought I would check out the more in depth study. WOW, great job and a great way to start my day, thanks. God Bless.

I pray everyday the 1 Vax isn't the mark and I pray daily God forgives

Do you have a video on the mark? I get so nervous stupidly getting the 1st Vax

WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN You are born again when you are like Jesus. Then you are sinless 1 John 2: 3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked. We must be born again! Then Jesus has baptized you with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit do not let you sin anymore!!! To become born again you have to repent and ask Jesus forgiveness for your sins or ask Jesus in your heart! A really born again Christian has no future sins!! He is perfect, righteous and the light of the world. Please study : 1 John 3, Romans 6:6, Romans 8, Gal 5, Eph 4 , Eph 5 and Titus 2:14

Earlier in the video you mentioned people in the bible who died not keeping the faith or in unbelief at death. Could you list out who those people are? Thankyou.
