who is Dr. Stanley?

[ITMCS32]

@SHIBBYiPANDA Dr. Charles Stanley is the bible teacher on the "In Touch" TV and radio program. He is pastor of First Baptist Atlanta. You can learn more about him at intouch.org/about/about-dr.-ch­arles-stanley

I'm not satisfied with that answer.

He's assuming every culture even has a CONCEPT of creation. There are remote tribes of the world and even in developing countries where there is little or no concept of god or creation. And not all beings have a chance at "revelation" because they die very shortly after birth or become mentally ill.

@ranwolf76 The bibles we are reading today come from documents written in the first and early second century, long before the Roman Catholic Church began to seek political power. There is no historical document in the world that has more proof of authenticity and accuracy of transference then the bible. If held to the same standard as other documents, it's ridiculous to doubt it. Do some research on it. There are thousands of documents to back each other up.

@TheLizardPeople Science is controlled by the Illuminati aristocrats-the world ruling elites! It is mans religion and will be used to establish a scientific dictatorship in the future. Science my friend is manipulated by those who fund it. Science can't even make its mind up about global warming, lol.

romans 2 14-15 may help also 14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and [their] thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another

@MegaGangstaparadise Science can be tested and confirmed repeatedly. Dogma cannot.

@TheLizardPeople just like relaying on science text to give and gain scintific knowledge thus science and its text book are fallacy of appeal. god bless amen

[ranwolf76]

this is my last post on this supject. Going by what I remember and understood of the history of the catholic church(historicaly the main branch of christianity) a number of the dogmas and beliefs of the chrurch were altered over time to insure the church's power (at one time the forbade translating the bible into local languages) I'm already running out of space so let me leave you with this are you sure teachings that have changed over time really what was originaly taught?

@ranwolf76 Hey this is why I'm posting these questions and concerns, because it does sound terrible when it gets worded honestly. It's not just the Doc either, most Christians believe exactly the same thing. Of course if you pose the same question you did to them that you did to me, they try and squirm around the answer. They'll agree with you on Ghandi going to hell, but they'll try to talk around Christian Jack the Ripper going to heaven. Doesn't make it any less true.
