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.

The fact that science cannot make any pronouncement about ethical principles has been misinterpreted as indicating that there are no such principles; while in fact the search for truth presupposes ethics. - Karl Popper, 1987

We have miracles in all traditions of Christianity and Deuteronom 13 shows us that miracles alone are not enough to substantiate a message.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist

How many times must I repeat that we must "test the spirits" before you acknowledge that you're burning a strawman here, Nick? I never said that miracles alone are enough to substantiate a message. At most weekday liturgies in my diocese, the antiphonal refrain, "O Son of God, who are wonderful in your saints, save us who sing to you..." is sung. Miracles wrought through the intercession of saints give glory to God. Do you honestly think satan works that way?

Originally posted by Apologiaphoenix View PostJesus has YHWH speaking in the present tense. At that moment, He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He is the God of the living and not of the dead. They would also connect this then to the covenant and the promise of the Land. These saints would come back to receive the fulfillment of the promise, which would actually go out to the whole world.The fact that science cannot make any pronouncement about ethical principles has been misinterpreted as indicating that there are no such principles; while in fact the search for truth presupposes ethics. - Karl Popper, 1987

Where did I say they were?
Could God truly heal some at tombs of saints and such? Yes. Is it the tomb that matters or the faith that matters? God I think could freely heal people who go there and even if their doctrine isn't perfect, and none of us have that, still give them a gift of grace.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

Not so much faith as it is the grace of God that remained in the relics and other physical objects such as icons that matters. I highly doubt that the centurion whose ear got cut off by Peter was healed because of his faith.The fact that science cannot make any pronouncement about ethical principles has been misinterpreted as indicating that there are no such principles; while in fact the search for truth presupposes ethics. - Karl Popper, 1987
