This verse tells slaves to obey their masters:
"Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, with a sincere heart, as you would Christ," - Ephesians 6:5
This verse tells slaves to be submissive to their masters:
"Slaves are to be submissive to their own masters in everything; they are to be well-pleasing, not argumentative, not pilfering, but showing all good faith, so that in everything they may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior." - Titus 2:9-10
But this one tells people to never submit to the yoke of slavery:
"For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery." - Galatians 5:1
This verse is against the stealing and selling of people (therefore is against slavery):
“Whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone found in possession of him, shall be put to death." - Exodus 21:16
this is were I found the verses:
So I must ask:
Does the Bible really support slavery?

Is the Kalam Cosmological Argument (KCA) a successful argument? Why or why not?
Question 2:
Should I try to do another debate on the KCA?(the two I had were not really real debates)

There are two ideas I want to discuss in this forum, the idea of a fallen world, and a finely tuned Universe.
The idea of a fallen world is a defense against the Problem of Evil, saying that evil entered the world when people sinned. thus, the Problem of Evil does not bring into question God's goodness and power, because it's man's fault. This "fallen world" idea is strictly contradicted by the Teleological Argument
The Teleological Argument (or the fine tuning argument) says that the world is so perfect, that a God must have created it.
So what is the problem with these two mindsets?
The fallen world describes an imperfect world around us, and the fine tuned world (from the Teleological Argument) describes a prefect world around us. These two ideas contradict each other, so the Christian must either drop the teleological argument (one of the best arguments for God), or drop the idea of a fallen world (the best response to the Problem of Evil)
if you think the world is so fallen and bad because of sin, stop trying to find design in everything!

Many Christians try to say that evolution contradicts the Bible, and they use this to dismiss evolution.
Many Atheists try to say that evolution contradicts the bible, and they use this to dismiss the Bible.
But is the Biological Theory of Evolution (proposed by Charles Darwin) really at odds with the Bible?
It seems to be an overwhelming NO. the the Biological Theory of Evolution (proposed by Charles Darwin) IS NOT at odds with the Bible, (your welcome Christians)
six reasons why the bible is compatible with evolution:
Also, William Lain Craig (a Christian Philosopher) saying that Genesis 1-3 should be taken figuratively:
William Lain Craig is one of the most influence philosophers alive
Also, Francisco Ayala, one of the most most inflectional Christian thinkers, is an evolutionarily biologist:

Put forth your best arguments against the existence of a God. I will define God as Maximal Great Being, that is omnipotence(all powerful), omniscience, (all knowing) and omnipresence (all loving).
I will not be responding to your arguments, since this a forum, and if I wanted o debate, I would have created a debate. I just want to see how you think
Thankyou

What, exactly, is your basis for believing that the Bible is True? Cannot use "because the Bible says so" in your answer, since any religion would be true by that standard.

Most Atheists say that Atheism is a lack of belief. Most Christians say that Atheism is an active belief. To muddy the waters further I saw a video a year or so ago with an atheist professor (Graham Oppy) saying that atheists BELIEVE that there are no gods[1]. So is Atheism a belief or lack of belief? Do atheists believe that there are no gods, or do they lack a belief in gods?
I'm an agnostic that doesn't believe nor disbelief in God.

Many Christians believe that the culture is against Christianity, or at least that's the impression I get. However, 70 percent of American is Christian[1], so how could the culture be against Christianity, or secular, if a major of it is Christian? Which way does the culture lean? Christian or not Christian?

I'm not here to start a debate(since this is a forum, and not a debate) so I will not respond to your comments. I just want to see how you think. Bring a justification for one, some, or all of the following:
- Jesus rose from the dead after his crucifixion
- Jesus was born of a virgin
- God created the universe
- the book if Genesis is to be interpreted literally/not literally
- There was a Global flood, as described in the Bible
-The earth is young(6,000-10,000 old) years/old ( about 4.5 billion years old)
- The bible is the source of all truth. (meaning humans cannot reach truth without it, and the bible is necessary)
