Re: God, from concept to existence

If thoughts were real I would be a billionaire; I am not. Thoughts aren't real, they are only imaginary. So, was this thought (your statement about thoughts being imaginary) imaginary? If so, give us a reason we should consider any thought you have to share? As I said, self-defeating. Thanks for se...

Re: God, from concept to existence

So you gonna tell a materialist (someone who only believes material exists) that something other than material exists and it is responsible for creation? That would be like telling a person who does not believe in Unicorns that Unicorns exist and is responsible for creation. Your first order of bus...

Re: Help me out with this statement

There is a ton in Frank Turek's new book Stealing From God on this exact objection.

Bottom line, it's bologne.

Re: Just came back from a service that made me doubt my fait

I'm with the OP. You'll never find anything in the bible that says, "go to church." We are cursed with this concept in our vernacular. The church is the body of Christ. Not a building, not a denomination, an institution or an organization. It isn't, it isn't, it isn't. Yes, believers shoul...

Re: Simplicity Book FINISHED!

Chris,

Couldn't you release it as an ebook? I buy a lot of stuff for $3 or $4 bucks on Kindle and Amazon.
No printing costs to deal with. Just the initial overhead on publishing for print means you have to sell x number to make it financially feasible.

Re: Simplicity Book FINISHED!

Chris, reading through the revision, but still see something that doesn't read quite right on the 2nd sentence of the intro.

It reads, "It is one that goes the very nature of what He......"
Should this read, "It is one that goes to the very nature of what He....."

Re: Simplicity Book FINISHED!

Chris, Just finished. Congratulations! Great work. I know this was a difficult and important task for you. I think this will go a long way in answering a lot of misconceptions about DS and challenge the modern church to confront why it has abandoned this doctrine in favor or substitutes that create ...

Re: salvation and works

No but I believe God gives people a space to repent because we are human. But if we do not repent even after God has given us time to repent. Then how can you say you still love God? As Christians we may find our selves not pleasing God but when we do we will repent and continue following Jesus's s...

Re: The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth

If someone claimed to be the son of God, and also claimed that he would rise from the dead, and didn't, then why on earth would be give such a lunatic's teachings any credence?
