I would agree with everything K said, but I'd also like to add this: the only way this "objection" (or problem, or whatever word you want to use) can come up is if your legal family is non-Christian. In any case, we are called to love people--all people--equally. This is evidenced by the w...

Heya, Math-- in case you missed it : Why the change in boards? Evidence for God from Science (G&S) is a Christian website which serves to provide a defense and persuasive case for Christianity, as well as encouragement and instruction for Christian people. Originally an open discussion board was...

Daniel does refer to the end times, but reading it by itself doesn't allow one to come to anything resembling a complete picture. It needs to be coupled with the rest of Scripture on the subject, including, but not limited to, the prophecies in Ezekiel, the Revelation, the Olivet Discourse, etc. In ...

That's an interesting line of thought, irichc, but I think you need to demonstrate it a bit more. The last part of (2), "which is God," seems to me an unsupported assertion. Why couldn't it just be that the "ultimate truth" has something to do with the self-verifying truth of the...

A2C, this is certainly a hot topic across the entire theological board these days. First, though I understand your concern, I would caution you against separating between Paul's words and God's words. God speaks through men, and when it comes to Scripture, God spoke through the apostles specifically...

Hey BEC, Reading through this post, I think the answers so far have been very adequate. Still, (perhaps I simply missed it?), I think we need to focus just a bit more on the character of God. God is, first and foremost, Holy. In other words, He is totally and completely without sin, so much so, in f...

Hey guys--sorry I was away for the past few weeks with no notice. When your internet connection gets fried, there isn't too much you can do about it . . . Anyway, I'm glad the new boards are up and going. As for any newcomers who don't know me--I'm a seminary student and youth minister in the Atlant...
