DNA Proves Existence of a Designer

Exactly.  I doubt we ever see it. The Bible describes things getting worse in the end times, not better.

Thanks for answering. I've been curious for a while. What do you think about New Agers and their beliefs? Would you consider them to be Christians and therefore have already been saved by grace through faith [in Jesus Christ]?

No problem.

Wow, good question.  Based on my interpretation of Scriptures, in general, I do not believe they are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.  I feel they do not follow Jesus as the Son of God based on the Scriptures.  Personally, I pray for their salvation.

The Lord is not silent on this matter.  See Deuteronomy 22:25 - 27, "But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die: 26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter: 27 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her."

Yes, but it also says this:

Deuteronomy 22:23-24

“If there is a girl who is a virgin engaged to a man, and another man finds her in the city and lies with her, then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city and you shall stone them to death; the girl, because she did not cry out in the city, and the man, because he has violated his neighbor’s wife. Thus you shall purge the evil from among you.”

Victim blaming at its finest!  Why couldn't we have a commandment against rape?  Because your narcissistic God was taking up several otherwise good slots for his own onanistic endeavours.

He could not change the laws of the land, and perhaps he was trying to prevent them from being beaten or thrown out into the streets homeless.

He couldn't?  Just how impotent is your favorite shrieking ball of don't care, just suck my dick?

The girl was allowing it to happen and consenting to it.  She was committing adultery that is why she did not cry out for help.

You don't think believing that Jesus is God is a core belief with Christians, and that your not believing it is similar to their doing so?

What planet do you hail from, again, Princess?

It is only a core belief if they leave Mark 10:18 out of their Bible, where Jesus clearly states that he is not pure good and he is not the ONE true God. Christian beliefs vary, because there are different interpretations and we are all very different people. Some people can only envision God as a humanlike figure and that is all they are comfortable with. I could never see God as human even if I wanted to. Having different ideas about what God may really be does not change the teachings and moral concepts and basic core beliefs of the religion.

Hey Everena, if you are interested, below is a brief commentary on Mark 10:18:
