I AM THE EVIDENCE that God exists...how? because I was brought into existence not by my own doing, but rather by the will and initiation of something outside of myself...that force is Deity & God in nature...I'm dependent on God, for if I was not dependent, I could & would have created myself....I am a product of the mind of God...God thought of me and spoke me into existence...by the way, GOD LOVES SCIENCE! GOD IS not threatened or intimidated by science, true science glorifies GOD

@1greatvoyage you brought into existence with love of your mom and dad,they have intimate sex and here you come...that is a more appropriate answer. :) that "I am a product of the mind of God" is quite irregular for Orthodox Christianity because of the possibility of connection with Platonism and the pre-existence of the soul...Origen advocated that position and his teaching was sentenced to 5 Ecumenical Council

A grand interview with a great Christian Gentleman.

Sin is an illness that needs healing. Passions are inner human sufferings that lead people to do things that separate them from God (becomes sin). The 14 minute video was worth watching several times for this alone.

[prussictim]

He moves from one false dilemma to the next, which lead to many obvious errors. His view of sin and atonement lacks a *great* deal of biblical data. His view of the development of doctrine in the West is jaded and inaccurate. Finally, however, his notion of misplaced certainty is quite interesting and compelling.

As a Quaker, I'm diggin' this guy. 'Co-suffering', like it. I wrote a poem called 'halls of columbine' where I have Jesus present during the violence and chaos of the slaughter, suffering with us.

@vaalamful For You formed my inward parts;You wove me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth; Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them.- psalm 139:13-16

@MichaelDLeonardo (part 2 QUESTION)...when a Father has a child & the child gets lost, who's responsibility is it to seek the other? Does the Father sit around & say to himself, "well, he's responsible for himself, if he wants me he'll have to come find me" or does the Father go out, seek and find his child? I believe God is a Father that lovingly & responsibly seeks out His lost children, even when the lost children have no intention of seeking or finding their Father

@MichaelDLeonardo....QUESTION: you said "it is OUR responsibility to seek HIM" but you also say we should avoid a path of "self-reliance"...those two statements seem to contradict each other, don't they? So are we depending on ourselves to find God? Are you saying it is up to US to find God and that if we don't commit to it, it ain't gonna happen? How did you come to that conclusion? please explain :) LIFE and PEACE to you bro
