    It might be useful to apply scientific method to theology, but how does one test a doctrine by observation of predicted experimental outcomes?

    What do you think?

    Interesting replies. Is it possible to accept that there are errors in holy scripture and at the same time believe in God, do you think?

    What do you think?

    That is one view, yes; perhaps it is what Martin Luther was thinking but the errors in the holy scriptures are human errors too being the result of the human beings who wrote the holy scriptures.

    Shunning

    If the alleged "wolf/dog/sorcerer" is one's son, daughter, brother, sister, mother, or father what then? And what does it mean to be a wolf, a dog, or a sorcerer?

    What do you think?

    Martin Luther seeks a solution in the alleged faults of humankind; in short we get it wrong and the holy scriptures are right. Such is one approach; is it a safe and secure one when you discuss the matter with an atheist or a Christian who has awakened for the first time to the errors...

    What do you think?

    I agree, the last two minutes (more or less) are pleading for "mystery" and "faith" as an alleged solution to errors, inconsistencies, and contradiction that exist in the holy scriptures. But I will grant him praise for recognising that the holy scriptures do not fit the Chicago Statement on...

    Watch it or don't. Think about it or not. Accept it or reject it. The bible gets to people. And people get to the bible.

The Oxford online dictionary gives these meanings for the word: 1Complete trust or confidence in someone or...

    Should abortion be illegal?

    Is it murder to help someone kill themselves? For example, is it murder to give someone sufficient opiate based pain killers to be lethal or to advise them how much will be fatal and be present when they decide to take the lethal dose? EDIT: oops, I thought this was the Euthanasia thread so my...

    Euthanasia?

    In Catholic parlance "a happy death" is one in which the dying is reconciled with God and absolved of all sins. But in religions without the sacrament of reconciliation that is probably almost irrelevant.

    Euthanasia?

    Why only for the innocent and innocent of what? Holy scripture suggests that few (if any) are truly innocent once they have become adults. Why not just leave the innocent out and say "I am morally opposed to the purposeful, deliberate killing of innocent people" but I guess that would preclude...

    Euthanasia?

    Or gives the pills or other medication that the patient self administers to end their own life. I understand what you've said and I've seen several friends die from incurable painful conditions. I would not wish such a death even on the worst of people. So I too see why provision of assisted...

    Euthanasia?

    Euthanasia is under debate in Western Australia. The Nurses Federation strongly supports it while the Catholic Church strongly opposes it. Other religious and political and union groups have a stand on the matter too. The parliament of Western Australia will be debating the matter soon too with...
