Re: 667 Sins in the Bible
Well, the issue of sin and hell is a complicated one at times BUT lets look at what Our Lord said: Matt. 12:22-32 says, "Then there was brought to Him a demon-possessed man who was blind and dumb, and He healed him, so that the dumb man spoke and saw. 23And all the multitudes were amazed, and b...

Re: Common Agnostic and Atheist Objection to the Bible
I've noticed that skeptics use the net to find all the issues they bring up, but don't seem to use it to find the answers to them, which are there if they look * just as they look for the issues). That's what I see too... Wonder why that is? - - - Because they go looking for what they want -somethi...

In his work, "the irrational atheist", Vox Day completely dismantles the works of Dawkins, Dennet, Harris and Hitchens.

Re: I want to start my own apologetics website. Thoughts?
Many atheists I've met say something like this: "When God comes down out of the sky and tells me that he exists and then performs a miracle to prove it, I'll believe." Now, that's an incredibly high standard of proof, but what they're getting at is that they want God's existence to be pro...

Re: ACTUAL Scriptures or NOT? If not, don't quote them!!
That is general revelation, and it is not new. You will not get any argument from me. But does it reveal, specifically, the guilt of man, the promise of redemption, the cross, the resurrection, salvation, and the consumation? No. Only scripture is our source of this today. I agree, hence my view th...

Re: Why do men have more dominance than women?
In biblical terms, the patriarchal thing can be viewed because of Eve's temptation on Adam. Adam is her "head" as God is Adam's. Of course the equality of NATURE is a given and the ideal is, as Paul stated, "neither Man nor Woman but one under Christ". We should always STRIVE for...

Paul, I don't see how your comments specifically address the context of this thread. I have little if any disagreement with your last post. yeah, we went a bit off, sorry about that. Paul, my point is that, today, the Bible is a finished canon. It is closed, and by rightly dividing the word of trut...

Re: Atheists are hard to convert
I've had a few debates online and quite a few discussions live, but never with any "militant atheists". They tend to be honest skeptics that either have a distorted view of the bible and Christian teachings OR they have been believers that have had honest and legit questions that believers...

Re: ACTUAL Scriptures or NOT? If not, don't quote them!!
I've always wondered about the legitimacy of how the Bible was put together. I'm very interested in knowing what resources exist regarding the authenticity of the Bible process. These two books are very good, IMO: The Text of the New Testament: Its Transmission, Corruption, and Restoration (4th Edi...

Re: ACTUAL Scriptures or NOT? If not, don't quote them!!
I would assume the same way we would if we didn't have the bible You expect me to believe that you would handle it the same way if you did or didn't have a Bible? Please think about this for a minute. The written word of God. Not the LIVING Word of God. Unless you are suggesting that the Bible is C...

Perfect knowledge can only be attainable by a perfect being, who be definition is absolute Good and as such, to answer you other question ( What if God commands you to kill), that means that God can NOT command that which is NOT good, hence God's command to kill, MUST be good ie: a positive outcome...

Re: ACTUAL Scriptures or NOT? If not, don't quote them!!
So, by what do you measure claims of someone who says they have revelation directly from the HS? I would assume the same way we would if we didn't have the bible. Got it. The Bible is the written word of GOD. The written word says that the The Word was God. Therefore, Christ is God, and thus the Bi...

Re: Who are we to judge homosexuality/others?
And you're still not understanding - I never said consent was the basis for anything. Consent is only one aspect of harm, harm is the basis. You're trying to set up straw-men by removing elements from the concept. That's like saying we can't have doctors because doctors cut people and and I said so...
