Question #1: Are there other earths with human life on them?

My answer: I doubt it, although I have seen people say there must be, because there are so many billions of suns in the universe, but I do not understand how one could arrive at an estimate of probability from a known case of only one--US!

Your answer?...

Not sure 'human' would be a necessary term; but it wouldn't surprise me if some forms of life were discovered on other planets at some point. There's no biblical reason there couldn't be.

Question #2: Must we have an inerrant translation of the Bible in order to know God's Word?

My answer: Even if we had an inerrant translation, we would need an infallible interpretation, which not even a pope knows, so we must be content with believing that God has ensured we have very accurate translations that can provide us sufficient knowledge of His Will, especially regarding salvation.

Your answer?...

No, because all translations require some level of interpretation and the Bible doesn't define how to translate itself. Even the NT writers weren't consistent, they used both the LXX and the Masoretic translations at times.

Question #3: How can we say that answering questions with logical answers is Bible-based?

Biblical passages that seem to support the view that human logic is a divine gift include the following:

“Come now, let us reason together,” says the Lord. (IS 1:18a)
“They hated me without reason.” (JN 15:25)
“So [Paul] reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Greeks, as well as in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there.” (ACTS 17:17)
“We do, however, speak a message of wisdom [right reasoning] among the mature…” (1CR 2:6)
“When I was a child… I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.” (1CR 13:11)
“Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” (1PT 3:15b)

These passages indicate that we should think and attempt to learn the best beliefs/opinions or solutions regarding issues, beginning with revealed Scripture and continuing with right logic when helpful.

Your answer?...

Logic is a necessary given in any form of debate or dialogue. You cannot argue against logic without using logic, and is therefore a self-defeating argument. Logic is like 1 + 1 = 2; it's axiomatic.

RQ: What is pornography?
(Not asking for examples :^)

 

[GWH]

RQ: What is pornography?
(Not asking for examples :^)

The word comes from the Greek pornographos, which means "writing about prostitutes" from pornē ‘prostitute’ + graphein ‘write’.

The word does not appear in the Bible, but mention is made of fornication, which is translated as "sexual immorality" in 1CR 6:9&18 and is akin to adultery, etc.

Fornication and pornography are the opposite of marriage and marital faithfulness.

RQ: Why is Mormonism considered a heretical cult by orthodox Christians?

It creates false gods - a false father and a false son - and it creates a false, works-based gospel, for starters. But the more one looks into it, the more heresies one uncovers.

True, but can you provide a couple of quotes as evidence?

Question #1: Are there other earths with human life on them?

My answer: I doubt it, although I have seen people say there must be, because there are so many billions of suns in the universe, but I do not understand how one could arrive at an estimate of probability from a known case of only one--US!

Your answer?...

I would say "no". When you learn about what makes life on earth work, it's pretty obvious that every human being is dependent on every thing God created on earth to support human and animal life. From the sun and moon's exact distance to the earth to the microscopic bacteria needed to keep us healthy. The earth itself is protected in space through it's location from other planets/objects, it's rotation, and orbit around the sun, and through protective layers surrounding the earth. All these things had to be created in the right order for everything to be able to exist. The Bible teaches that God created the earth and the universe (which supports life on earth). The earth may be the center of God's universe created for us to have fellowship with Him, but He gave us free will to accept Him and love Him. He didn't want robots, nor would we want our children to be robots. We want them to love us of their own free will, so I believe this is the reason He gave us free will.
