So I was studying through 1 John and I came across chapter 5 verses 16 and 17 and for the life of me I could not understand what John was trying to convey to his audience regarding sins that do not lead to death. Could you please explain your interpretation of this Scripture?]]> 2018-01-18 01:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ned_henn/WoffordCO/wish/222280649 Evolution https://padlet.com/ned_henn/WoffordCO/wish/222281195 How are we to reconcile evidence for evolution, such as the fossil record, with the idea that all of life was created as-is, within a week, a few thousand years ago? ]]> 2018-01-18 01:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ned_henn/WoffordCO/wish/222281195 Satan https://padlet.com/ned_henn/WoffordCO/wish/222281911 Why would an all-knowing God allow for the creation of Satan if the fall was eventually to follow?]]> 2018-01-18 01:56:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ned_henn/WoffordCO/wish/222281911 Predestination https://padlet.com/ned_henn/WoffordCO/wish/222282129 One of my friends asked me why did it matter how we live our lives if God already has a destiny for us... from his understanding, if God’s plan for us is to go to Hell, it’s going to happen regardless of our lifestyle so the way we live is irrelevant. How would you respond to that? ]]> 2018-01-18 01:58:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ned_henn/WoffordCO/wish/222282129 Reason https://padlet.com/ned_henn/WoffordCO/wish/222282137 How does Christianity prove its legitimacy beyond a reasonable doubt? Moreover, why is every faith delegitimate beyond a reasonable doubt, even those that existed prior to Christianity? Note: the second part of the question cannot be answered by using Christianity’s proof as a defense. Preponderance of evidence is not sufficient. Absence of evidence is not sufficient; the burden of proof lies upon you. ]]> 2018-01-18 01:58:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ned_henn/WoffordCO/wish/222282137 https://padlet.com/ned_henn/WoffordCO/wish/222282290 Are those who don’t believe in Christianity illogical people?

Wouldn’t the rather late introduction of Judaism and Christ to the human civilization point appear to demonstrate the theory of faith as opposed to proof, since for so many eons prior to that societies had prior conceptions of religions figures or lack there of?

Can we use the Bible as a science book?
Some people argue that people who not believe in religion have no moral values. How can a society exist then, if only religion proportionate morality?]]> 2018-01-18 02:04:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ned_henn/WoffordCO/wish/222282745 jbouknight1 https://padlet.com/ned_henn/WoffordCO/wish/222282983 I don't think it's a big deal to wrestle with God and religion as I think I just live my life then die (period), but my roommate believes it's a big deal. Why should I give it thought? There are many good people because of religion, but that doesn't prove that I should accept the idea that a God exists.]]> 2018-01-18 02:06:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ned_henn/WoffordCO/wish/222282983 Cults https://padlet.com/ned_henn/WoffordCO/wish/222283050 Should we worry whether or not followers of "Christian" cults go to heaven?
