While I would prefer if people became vegetarians, I am not trying to convince any of you to do so. I am merely trying to make me understand if you have an innate feeling that it is wrong to kill animals for food (which some of you admitted that you do), and why you are dismissing this feeling...

Please elaborate. Is the only argument "the Bible is right because the Bible says that it's right"? I studied the Bible, I applied its promises to my life, it failed to produce the promised results. What arguments can I use to dismiss my personal experience with the Bible in favor of other...

What Scripture says that Scripture lists everything that is right and is wrong? We usually use common sense to deduce that. Scripture says "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". Why can't that be applied to all beings that (to our knowledge) experience pain, such as animals? Cars...

Not if my moral compass tells me that it's wrong and this moral compass was acquired after I started seeking God. When I was living in sin and didn't care about religion, I didn't even think about the morality of eating meat. But now that I've started seeking God, it seems to me like it's...

None of those are necessary except for medical research. In present day society, humans can thrive on a plant-based diet, wear clothes made from materials manufactured from plants, and industrialization made farming the land easy without any animals.

Can you make it makes sense? Why did they believe in a false Christ? How can we make sure that we believe in the right Christ? What are the unfalsifiable assessment tools of which Christ is the right one?

If the goats believe in a false Christ, why do they call Jesus "Lord" in the parable?

You're... not addressing my points. You're giving me examples of things I find immoral from the Bible in an attempt to justify the things that I find immoral in the Bible. Please try again without appealing to Scripture this time. Appeal to reason. I can imagine a system in which the fall did...

How do you explain the parable of the sheep and the goats in light of that verse?

I am aware. That's what I am asking: how do you reconcile the claim that God is omnibenevolent with the commandments given by God to people to cause pain and death to some of the other creatures that He created? Also, how do you reconcile the claim of His omnipotence with the existence of such a...

Why do you think that the verse you quoted constitutes a convincing argument, when there are also numerous verses to counter it? What gives said verse more authority than the other verses that counter it have?

Which one?

So how do you explain the fact that people from various Christian denominations see and hear contradictory things by reading the same Bible? Is only one denomination born again and the rest are not? If that is the case, how can we tell which denomination is the one born again, if we are part...

How do you reconcile the fact that eating animals causes them pain with the idea that causing unnecessary pain is evil? Eating animals, in light of the fact that we are able to thrive on a plant-based diet, is unnecessary.

What are some questions that you think the people of Jesus' time should have asked Him while He was on Earth (and that should have been recorded in the Bible)?

Can you make it make sense? I don't understand the connection between the fact that He died and the fact that we are sinners. No, He wasn't. The people wanted to make Him king by force and He left to the mountain so that they wouldn't find Him: "Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and...

That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe. [NIV] (1 Timothy 4:10)

That's interesting. How's she doing?

Rarely, if it's really big, but usually I don't.

What exactly does this mean? Why did He have to die? What does "for the sins of all people" mean? Why did the sins require anyone to die for them?
