What if ANY evidence exist? 2 Questions

[steve_b]

i love john 17, & quote it often, but is it actually proof of god; one faith and one church?

not to a cynic or an atheist. But as Aquinas said

“To one who has faith no explanation is necessary, to one without faith no explanation is sufficient.”

My friend have you ever been exposed to the One Infallible Rule for right understanding of the Bible?

Never Ever; can, may or DOES
One verse, passage or teaching have the power or authority to
Invalidate, make void or override another Verse, passage or teaching:

Were this even the slightest possibility; [it’s NOT!] it would render the entire Bible useless to teach or learn Christ Faith”

Is the Bible is useless then? There are various contradictory verses which I am sure you have had quoted at you. Far better not to over-claim about the Bible.

Well, then, wouldn’t it also follow that you can’t assume more than one creator by the existence of antagonistic pairs? Who’s to say that the same creator who made the lion didn’t also make the gazelle?

Of course, I didn’t claim that the existence of a single creator is self evident from any one argument.

Yes. The evidence can support either a single creator or multiple creators. In science the multiverse might be seen as a single creator, while colliding branes might be seen as multiple creators.

The error is to assume that the evidence only supports a single creator. We can observe that some things are designed by a single person, a painting perhaps, while other things are designed by teams with many members, a new car for example.

The Bible is God’s Written Word fulfilled by God’s Word in the flesh(Jn.1:1), Jesus
There is no controversy in the Son, He is consistent in ALL things, what He said
and did complemented one another and He will be the One Head of Heaven and
Earth!! See Eph. 1:10.

Look at the top right of my posts. I am Buddhist, not Christian. I look to the Tripitaka, not to the Bible.

very insightful posts my friend. But let me ask you this. Can you provide any contradictions in the Bible? I don’t really believe there are any that have not been refuted by others. I am just curious because you stated…

“There are various contradictory verses which I am sure you have had quoted at you”

also,
do you believe that the Tripitaka is free of contradictions? If so what does this mean?

OK Again I agree so WHY do so many miss it?

Well, I certainly miss it! If we have a one, and we bring that together with another one, we have “one-and-one-together”. We have a word for “one-and-one-together”, and that’s “two”. What has that to do with one true faith?

THANKS,

And over many years I personally have found that to be the truth.

That is why agnostic and Atheist conversions are TRULY miracles preformed by God.

God must “soften” their hearts" so that their minds CAN be receptive to objective truth. NOT an easy task, I [personally] expect even for GOD.

Let us pray
