  • [* I have reposted a previous rebuttal to this argument against the compatibility of God’s omniscience and human free will]-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your friend's point is well t…
  • The atheist doesn't have to proove that God does not exist - The onus of proof is on the person making the claim - it'd be like them saying "I worship a pink elephant - proove it's not true", now obviously this claim that a pink elephant should …

  • Can the atheist provide any reasons to believe in the non-existence of God? (I watched both linked videos and the arguments presented against God are increasingly presumptuous...if not entirely pretentious.) Most arguments that attack the Gos…

  • Epshiri, Your point is well taken.....however it is girded upon credulous suppositions. You are presuming the following argument; if God is omniscient in all things, knowing how men will behave in the future, then it is pointless to give men …
  • Happy Birthday. God Bless You.
  • The real question that comes to play is how one objectively defines "good". If good is connoted upon the basis of people's opinions then the definition assumes a subjective role. If the meaning is subjective then what may be good for you is no…
  • Your question is very relevant and sincere.....thank you. The matter you are bringing up hinges around the difference between various experiences and their relation to the verity of Christianity. Nevertheless, experientially we may believe s…
  • I can empathize with your position. I too had once struggled with the same internal conflict—spiritually acknowledging God's judgment as holding true equity. However...consider the basic premises your are presupposing. You make the assumpti…
  • Sometimes, the best gesture one can give is a silent, yet brotherly gesture. Your friendship, by essence, is connected through the nexus of God's power and mercy. Therfore, I recommend asking God to re-establish that fellowship through prayer. …
  • Revelations was described in the analogical sense (or metaphorical) since the very Heavens contained sights that were unfathomable to the disciple John. The number 666 does not necessarily describe an actual physical marking men will carry on t…

  • Your point is well conceited. However, isn’t the Constitution by its very framework an attempt to attribute morality girded by equity unto all men? Aren't the "unalienable rights" of every individual, rights that surpass the relativistic belie…
  • Correct. Those who cast doubt on the Trinity and it's Truth, are those who espouse the very beliefs of the antiChrist. May God bless you.
  • Tk, Your definition of "antiChrist" is a relativistic one dependent on your own presuppositions. However, such a definition is not at all useful when speaking upon absolute truths. If you want to declaratively establish what is or is not truth,…
  • Have you ever considered placing yourself on the offensive stance, argumentatively? From what you have explicated, your classmates offensive strategy is to attack you intellectually; calling Christ's crucifixion a scam. Try asking them to def…
  • Precisley.
  • Indeed, it is. However its foundation is that of reasonable faith, not blind faith. In other words we have faith because ultimately reason alone can not disprove or prove God. Yet, we use reason and wisdom to defend against those who say that …
  • Thanks for the response Iqbal. I continuously learn a great deal from these forums God Bless.
  • It's very simple actually. If they believe in Christianity, then they must believe in the Holy Scriptures. If they believe in the Scriptures, then they should realize it's claim that their bodies are temples of God. If they don't ask God permissi…

  • To add on to John_S2000's point, you can only deny the crediblity of the miraculous if you can disprove that we live in a theistic universe. You can only disprove that we live in a theistic universe if you can first disporve the existence of God…
  • The question I would ask such students, is precisely whose body do they hope to have sexual relations with. If the person replies that every body belongs to the individual, then you should ask him if that individual is a self-sustaining, uncr…

  • Iqbal, With regard to the issue of free will, I wholeheartedly agree with you. Of the two positions I gave, the second I believe is more logically warranted. By the very nature of Christ’s love as well as spiritual revelation transposed unto th…
  • I find it a tricky matter to ultimately decipher whether or not angels presently have free will. In order for one to even begin to claim that an angle does or does not have free will, one must first define his terms carefully. Free will, a…
  • Your question is well established. The verse in it's apparent content and explicit cues connotes St. Paul as judging the person rather then the deed. However, this is clearly an incorrect perception when one reads the verse in light of it’s s…
  • I agree with doit4jesus; for we are called by scripture to be prepared to give a defense for all that seems precious to us. Ultimately, logic and reasoning will only get you so far. Apologetics (defense of the Christian faith) will only allow…
  • Thankyou John_S2000 for the wealth of resources you have made availabe to us. It is truly a treasure to be reckoned with. God bless.
  • The Bible is indeed a very reliable source. However, before you engage in any discussion of proof, keep in mind that the burden of proof does not merely fall upon the Christian who says the Word of God is true. The atheist must give reason…
  • Vassilios, I believe this is what the previous posters were trying to explicate. Prior to Pentecost, the Holy Spirit was bestowed upon particular men at particular times. Thus you will hear of instances in which the "Spirit of the Lord fil…
  • Please consider the following: Sin, by nature, is the implicit or explicit violation of the person of God. Being that Christ is a very person of God, inseparable from the Father and the Spirit, it would be unthinkable to suggest …
  • There have been ample reasons given for the refutation of the book and its implications. You may, if inclined, try reading a book by Darrel L Bock entitled Breaking the Da Vinci Code. It should prove to be much more fecund. God Bless.
  • That's very intersting to hear.
