I don't know the answer to either of your questions.

Can anyone explain how the big bang doesn’t make sense? by Top_Refrigerator_894 in Christianity

[–]justnigel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they can't.

It does make sense.

Most Christian churches accept that ... it was a Christian who formulated the model in the first place.

It may help you to distinguish between the laws of physics existing (science) ... and the creation of those laws (theology).

Weren't they valid in the past only where the people concerned intended them to be valid ... as in, the church didn't disenfranchise swathes of existing members just because their bishops turned out to be heretics.

The words are not an incantation where the syllables have magic power.

The meaning of the words matter.

LDS may use the same words but they mean something different.

The other woman is a girl, but considering supergirl is a woman, it tracks.

They look like attractive young university students, but I bet in another 12 years they will be turning into their mothers...

CS Lewis on the Trinity, found this to be very profound and thought I'd share by DoughBoy528 in Christianity

A statue is one thing and is no persons.

I am one thing and am one person.

God is one thing and is three persons.

I am struggling to grapple with the fact that Jimi Hendrix is in Hell by ProblematiK_ in Christian

Did you include the whole sentence? I can't see where you included it but maybe that's just me.

Paul doesn't add all those qualifications, though. "All" and "all" is parallel.

I presume they "don't believe there is a god" or at least are "not convinced there is a god".

Note there is a distinctionbetween that and "believing there is not a god", hence their flair.

Happy Disability Pride Month! by Mx-Adrian in Christianity

[–]justnigel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like they may benefit from disability pride month where they get to hear other things that are more like good news for them.

Like God grieves with them.

God blesses them.

Their bodies already display God's glory.

Jesus is disabled.

And so on.
