...would you consider one who called himself a Nietzschian superman to be arrogant? How is it any different from thinking you're "born again?"

Personally, I consider all ideas of being a "new man" to be silly.

I read a question on R&S in which someone asked whether God or evolution made more sense, and he argued in favor of evolution. Several people answered, saying that evolution had been guided by God. I hope some of those people will come here and elaborate. My question is this: If God had a hand in creating life, why did he choose a process as wasteful, inefficient, and cruel as evolution?

For every species that survives, many others go extinct. Various body parts, like the backbone in humans, often cause problems due to bad design. Human backbones, though similar to those of animals that walk on four legs, are vertical, leading to herniated discs and other problems. This seems to indicate that evolution is not a good tool for an intelligent designer to use. It also indicates that the supposed work of a perfect being contains all sorts of serious structural flaws, making his work identical to the results of blind evolution, removing the need for God as an explanation of life on Earth.

A lot of believers (whatever your path may be) think that faith is a life long process. I believe this.

I also believe that spiritual perfection is possible while one is still alive here on earth. But the level at which one would have to live, in a spiritual sense, would also have to be nearly perfect. I think most of us will never get there from here.

But we try.

Most of us, I think, will fail. This is where Christ steps in and shores-up our spiritual shortcomings and takes us the rest of the way to perfection through God's grace.

This is my belief. I respect and identify with other paths, too. And I think those other paths may also believe that perfection is possible, but it requires a lifetime of awareness, intent, and service.

I've come to wonder about non-believers. Is that kind of cruicible too much to bear? Perhaps a non-believer may think "its so hard...why should I even bother?"

And to my question: non-believers, is the path to perfection just too hard?

Do you think those who have battled would be considered? For example, a modern one, those who have gone to war as a soldier but didn't die. They were injured so that they couldn't fight anymore. Do you think they would still be considered a warrior?

See, I'm going to explain my question, what if hell isn't real, you know like some people use the boogie man stories to keep kids in line or the old scarey stories about "lovers lain murders" to keep the kids out of there and keep them out of trouble. What if hell isn't real what if it was made up to keep us in line as a cautionary type of tale of sorts. Also anyone else rather believe hell is here and now on earth? I mean look around you where else do you lose loved ones, see people suffer watch your family and friends suffer to me that is more hell than anything anyone could ever come up with. Do people really believe that there is some big lake of fire somewhere? These are legit questions so don't be rude to me and I wont be rude to you.

In Ezekial 20:25, God says,

"Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live."

Am I correct in saying that this passage says we should question the rules of the Bible?

Do Christians Catholics and others believe in what the old testament says, as well as the new testament??

ive heard it said that it is the rewritten word of god...

however, what is the point of god declaring many things in the old testament, then declaring them to be different in the new testament???

Does the new testament override anything said in the old testament?

NOMA=Non-Overlapping Magisteria

It's an interesting idea, but I don't think it really works, especially because Creationists often try to cross the line by using religious beliefs to describe the natural universe.

THe Word trinity isn't in the Bible- but the relationship it explains is- It is seen in the word "El"

The singular form of Elohim is El. It has the idea of strength, power, and might. El is used in the Old Testament of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

God The Father is El.

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of God [El} Most High (Genesis 14:18).

The Son is El.

Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel (El) (Isaiah 7:14).

This verse was cited by Matthew to refer to Jesus. The angel of the Lord said to Joseph.

She will bear a Son; and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. Now all this took place to fulfill what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call his name Immanuel,” which translated means, “God with us”
