1 | What is service? | Luke 12:42 | hvnscry | 121864 | ||
Quick background for my question: I am a Senior, Computer Science major at Westmont College, California. I am working on an artificial intelligence research project, based on the idea of service. Right now, we are trying to work with the aspects of service, trying to define, and discover what makes service. So, my question: "Biblically, what is service?", "What separates good service from bad service?", "Why is service valuable to us?", "How is service valuable to God?" The problem I've been having is that while it seems obvious that servants in the Bible are frequently called "good" or "bad", very little of what they did (especially for "good" servants) is actually recorded. It is hard to extrapolate the qualities that make up these services. I have my thoughts, but most of them are incomplete, and I'm interested in other people's thoughts to stimulate my own. |

3 | quick response on creation vs evolution | 2 Pet 2:1 | hvnscry | 121861 | ||
This is a long time after the original thread, but I had a couple points I wanted to discuss: "But we know that, according to the Bible, Adam lived less than 12,000 years ago-not millions and billions." I'd like to know where this came from actually. To my knowledge, the Bible does not establish a firm date as to the time of creation, nor even an accurate range of time in which Adam and Eve would have lived. I have my own opinions, but I make no claim that they are biblically supported or correct. "Do you believe that? If you do not, then you will also tend to believe in Evolutionary Theory." The way I am understanding what you are saying (please correct me if I am wrong) is that Evolutionary Theory and rejection of the claims in the Bible about creation go hand in hand. Further, it seems that (by your view) one could not hold an Evolutionist view and continue to believe what is said in the bible. This, I firmly believe, is false. But, you may notice, I have not shared what my personal opinions are on this matter, nor will I. I believe that, as long as we are seeking to understand what the Bible tells us, and the issue at hand does not directly affect our salvation, then the loose ends will become clear in the end - when we are with our Father and Creator. |
