Yes, but Scripture’s main focus is on why God made the world, especially mankind and how we should live--especially to qualify for tne next world, while the hard sciences do not deal with the moral questions but only seek to describe the physical world God has made in as much detail as possible...

If the "book" refers to the New Testament, what matters is not whether it was written by physical Jews but by spiritual Jews. Jesus fulfilled the Mosaic Sacrificial Covenant (as indicated by MT, but He reformed, updated and superseded it with the New Gospel for all, which verses teaching that...

I understand, and I am content with starting a new topic on the Miscellaneous Forum although I thought that Various Moral Issues might warrant its own Forum with each issue discussed in it’s own thread. Thanks!

Ditto and I have lovingly explained quite logical and biblical reasons for doubting both your ability to tell the future and the present existence of that ability generally. Often the most loving thing to do is honestly share differences of opinion.

It is difficult for us to understand "howness" very completely regarding almost anything (cf. JN 3:8), so we must be satisfied with sufficient understanding of "thatness". In this case, we understand that the Bible teaches THAT Jesus is both God the Son and fully human (per HB 2:14-17) or...

Meaning that I was correct to say there is no way to start a new Forum?

Well I am still a little confused because below Christian Chat Forums it says “Join any discussion, or start a new topic!” But there seems to be no way to start a new Forum, which is what I meant to learn.

Any secular scientist who denies that the universe is unique and thus might be created by God has moved from science to atheism, but we can believe what God says in Creation as well as in the Bible. Creation is the original divine miracle, and recreation or salvation to heaven foreshadowed by...

Yes, but Agabus lived during the New Testament era, and 1CR 13:8-10 and 14:1-6 ( abbreviated) says "Where there are prophecies, they will cease... for we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears... Desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy... because...

If "that" refers to striving to live in accordance with the rest of God's Word regarding various moral issues, which necessitates the effort of learning and applying, then I can only say that "that" is stated by God's Word in such places as MT 4:4 (Man lives on every word that comes from the...

Another topic that might be next in chronological order is that of biomedical ethics (including artificial insemination, cloning, euthanasia, genetic engineering), although the most recently discussed issue is that of Transgendering. Again, the Bible does not specifically address this issue...

Thanks!

JohnRH & Inquisitor, Again, God created both the physical world that science seeks to describe and Scripture that focuses on why God made mankind and how we should live, so the better answer is BOTH/AND rather than EITHER/OR.

I think you missed understanding that post-New Testament Israel includes Edom & Gentiles per the following examples: THE STATUS OF JEWS/ISRAEL (All passages may be condensed.) Per Jesus MT 7:21: Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does...

How does one start a new topic?

Thanks, Lynx. I will go ahead and post my only other redeemed song for your consideration. “Where Do You Fit?” (Tune: The Who’s “And They Say We are in Love”) Where do you fit in the history of sin, with lust in your eye, and a passion for gin? And how do you feel when the new day comes...

Well, from Matthew to Revelation Israel includes Edom, spiritually speaking.

Thanks! (There are two duplicates)

I suggest we begin discussing various moral issues in alphabetical order with Abortion. Historically murder has been viewed as wrong and has been defined as unwarranted killing of a post-birth human being. In my own history, I grew up ignorant of fetal development and naively thought that...

We begin with the easy acceptance of God's grace, but then until the end we should strive to live in accordance with the rest of God's Word regarding various moral issues, which necessitates the effort of learning and applying.
