I'll allow you to lead the discussion then. Eve was created from Adam but it is also clear that Eve had XX Chromosomes while Adam had XY so let's not even try to explain this from a "scientific" standpoint! LOL Eve was created from the same "substance" as Adam and yes, it was a supernatural...

But what are you basing this upon? I believe (I could be wrong here) that the Mormon position is that Mary had sexual relations with Gabriel and yes, I would agree with you that this is heresy and not even a "Virgin Birth" per se. I believe it stands to reason that it was Mary's ovum having...

Jesus was born of Mary and yes, from this he became fully (truly) man. His incarnation without the benefit of an earthly father was necessary because the penalty of sin was passed down through the father (Adam). In Gen 3:14-19, God lays the responsibility on the serpent ("because thou hast done...

Where should I start? One thing that strikes me is that Jesus's disciples did not ask him to teach them how to heal the sick, raise the dead, turn water into wine, or even how to get coins out of a fish's mouth! The one thing they asked was "LORD teach us to pray!" This speaks volumes...

By all means, I will give it my utmost respect! LOL! This was somewhat of an afterthought on my part. The 26 (paternal) chromosomes came from somewhere and it is most certain that God extended a great bit of care regarding the genetic makeup of his Incarnate Son and such is my ultimate point...

@Cathode made the following post about a week ago and I was unable to respond at the time getting ready to go out of town but the statement is intriguing and worthy of discussion. I quoted the entire post for context but the bolded part is where I wanted to comment: First of all, I believe we...

Praying for the Doc!

The main mystery I see here is why did God mark and protect Cain from those seeking vengeance of Abel's death? We do not know what the actual "mark" was but we understand the reason and the purpose.

Islam uses a string of 99 beads in order to recite the "99 Beautiful Names of Allah" and it has been said that this was adopted into what later became the Rosary used by Roman Catholics today.

It is quite interesting how God dealt with Cain during this Antediluvian period. There seemed to be no sort of civil justice system during this time which is further evident with Lamech and his boasting of slaying a man in self-defense. Was God defending or justifying Cain's actions (the murder...

Well since you are a Catholic, your perception would be obvious wouldn't it?:Laugh I can go along with this - as far as your explanation goes anyway. It goes without saying that works (actions) are outward expressions of the faith and love in which you profess to possess. However, what is this...

Seems as if we have another TDS troll in our midst.

Your average Catholic "apologists" are deliberately deceitful and often are not even a good ambassador for the Roman Catholic Church. I believe that there are a good number of Roman Catholics who are actually saved but I do not believe that any of these "apologists" would be among them as they...

I usually tell people that I am adamant about the "T" and the "P" and that the "U " and "I" follow along in their logical course and the "L" to me stands for "Leave it be!":Laugh I consider myself to be a "moderate" Calvinist and such affects the way that I approach evangelism for the very...

Let's just argue about whatever you want to argue about rather than remaining on actual topic here?
