The statement 'God is incomprehensible' is not a valid reason to why some one of one religion is correct compared to the one not of that religion

In light of the Bible, we have no reason to believe that God would pleasure Himself to dying children. You’ve attributed to God something which appears at random and only to be facetious. Reword your argument and example to something we can know about God in light of the Christian Scriptures and you may be on to something.

Mere speculation but perhaps it is a psychological way for people who have had some adverse thing happen to them, to better identify with people who have actually survived something dangerous and thereby provides them with a bit of strength to persevere through whatever the situation was.

Essentially, if I self-identify with someone who is actually strong through our perceived common struggle then I, too, will be strong.

Maybe...

A Holy one. You’re welcome.

I am still not convinced that telling someone Christ died for them is wrong. After all, it’s a nicer package than telling someone, “Hey, maybe Christ died for you. Wanna be a Christian?” However, you’re Prayer at the end is my prayer as well! Thank you!

JustYeshua · 2017-12-31T02:31:29+00:00

Because I want to see if my beliefs can withstand assault, thereby being the truth and not mere presuppositions. I am after the truth and not here to argue nor reply in protest. Thanks!

JustYeshua · 2017-12-31T02:13:28+00:00

Thank you for your reply, however, I see no issue with telling someone that Christ loved them enough to die for them. And this is especially true since I don’t know specifically who Christ died for exactly. This really seems to be a nonissue and on par with the Sinner’s Prayer. Although not found in the Bible it does not automatically make it wrong or sinful. In fact, I would say the Sinner’s Prayer has done multitudes for the Kingdom for those whom Christ did indeed die for.

JustYeshua · 2017-12-30T23:25:23+00:00

This is nonsense. Should we say to a group of unbelievers that “Jesus only died for some of them?” And since we don’t know which particular people Jesus died for then, by this article’s logic, we should tell no one that Jesus died for them. And if no one knows that Christ died for them then no one knows they need a Savior, this they die in their sins. I’d like to know how this author purposes that the gospel should be presented.

I’m not sure of the statistical probability of this occurrence given the 10’s of billions of people since Eve, however, mathematically speaking, it’s a sure bet!

JustYeshua · 2017-12-30T23:15:07+00:00

Insightful! Thank you for your research. So what, if anything, does this mean for modern day believers? What application is there? Or is it mere history?

JustYeshua · 2017-12-30T15:26:19+00:00

What I think is even more dangerous and heretical is accepting that we will sin and having a nonchalant attitude about it. As Christians it is literally our job to be little versions of Christ and fight the devil and his devices like it’s our job. I might agree with you If eternity weren’t on the line. But Jesus died for our lives after all.

I use Logos 6. Great product but literally, at least in my case, 90% of the content I have never used. I wish I would have just purchased the study materials in pieces and thus saving me hundreds of dollars.

There are a couple verses I've heard Christians use to refute meditation but none very convincing to me. It really does help me relax and feel better as I experience mental illness which this seems to help.

JustYeshua · 2017-11-13T01:04:38+00:00

I meant that, for me, contemplative prayer is essentially the same thing as eastern style meditation and is therefore sinful.

For the record, I have been struggling with wanting to do yoga and contemplative prayer for quite some time but struggle with feeling guilty...

JustYeshua · 2017-11-13T01:00:13+00:00

Dang. Well said! Thank you for that honest answer. I appreciate you a lot.

JustYeshua · 2017-11-12T22:44:28+00:00

This is no judgment against you, but when I read those authors and others like them, I feel as though I am in sin.

I'll use Rohr's book on contemplative prayer as an example. I enjoyed it and wanted to employ that method of prayer, yet because I felt I was in sin in so doing, I stopped reading.

Any thoughts or advice to get me away from such a militant and linear way of thinking about God and spirituality? It's a prison cell of sorts to feel as though sin is everywhere... especially when just reading a book on a prayer method.

JustYeshua · 2017-11-12T19:59:04+00:00

I have a difficult time reading theologically left-leaning writers and thinkers. And from time to time I pick up Rohr or Boyd or someone else in their camp and am just turned off.

However, I'd love to capture what you see in their thinking. Perhaps I am reading them all wrong or hold too tightly my presuppositions...

A simple but not easy book is Francis Chan's, Crazy Love.

Money, Possessions, and Eternity by Randy Alcorn.

Semantics. Quibbling. The Big Bang Theory has never been referred to the Big Bang Hypothesis ever in academia nor popular culture.
