Deeper Waters Forum Guidelines

Notice – The ministries featured in this section of TheologyWeb are guests of this site and in some cases not bargaining for the rough and tumble world of debate forums, though sometimes they are. Additionally, this area is frequented and highlighted for guests who also very often are not acclimated to debate fora. As such, the rules of conduct here will be more strict than in the general forum. This will be something within the discretion of the Moderators and the Ministry Representative, but we simply ask that you conduct yourselves in a manner considerate of the fact that these ministries are our invited guests. You can always feel free to start a related thread in general forum without such extra restrictions. Thank you.

Deeper Waters is founded on the belief that the Christian community has long been in the shallow end of Christianity while there are treasures of the deep waiting to be discovered. Too many in the shallow end are not prepared when they go out beyond those waters and are quickly devoured by sharks. We wish to aid Christians to equip them to navigate the deeper waters of the ocean of truth and come up with treasure in the end.

We also wish to give special aid to those often neglected, that is, the disabled community. This is especially so since our founders are both on the autism spectrum and have a special desire to reach those on that spectrum. While they are a special emphasis, we seek to help others with any disability realize that God can use them and that they are as the Psalmist says, fearfully and wonderfully made.

    You are being absurd. God cannot do anything contrary to being God.

      Which to you means that god can do anything that supports your contention of god. Most people would generally agree that nothing comes from nothing, but in order for your god to be a reality you have to accept that the effect needn't be in its cause, that something can come from nothing.

        Nothing comes from nothing. God creates from nothing with His infinite power. God's infinite power is not nothing.

        BTW nothing, that is nothingness never exists. And God is not caused. But is the uncaused cause.

          If god creates from nothing, then something is coming from nothing. And, simply stating ones beliefs is not a sound argument.

            God creates from His infinite power what has not existed before (was not anything before - that it was nothing). Heaven and earth is in evidence (Genesis 1:1).

              Simply stating ones belief is not a sound argument. The only evidence we have is that what ever begins to exist is of the same nature as that of its cause. In other words, what ever begins to exist doesn't come from nothing, isn't created out of nothing.
