    Is the Bible mythology?

    Tabasco Breath, it sounds like you’ve already made up your mind on the Virgin Birth, but I’ll give my arguments anyway. Traditional Christianity has always held that Christ was both fully man and fully God. Some verses backing this are as follows: Christ’s humanity 1. He was expressly...

    Is the Bible mythology?

    Hey Physicist, I agree with your statement. Newspapers in North America behaved as cowards when they refused to reprint the cartoons to even just show what all the fuss was about. The situation in the U.S.A, however, does not seem nearly as bad as what we have in Canada. In Canada, one magazine...

    Is the Bible mythology?

    I have not heard of any liberal theologian arguing with the Koran. Interestingly, while it is fine to bash Christianity, it seems to be politically incorrect to say anything against Islam or the Koran. Either that, or most people are too scared to say anything against Islam since the Danish...

    Is the Bible mythology?

    Thanks for pointing this out. I agree with you - a person cannot believe until God opens their heart to receiving the truth. However, I do think God at times uses apologetics as a catalyst or instrument to do this. When Paul was in Athens, he used the altar to an unknown God set up by the Greeks...

    Is the Bible mythology?

    There is a view, especially among liberal theologians and scholars, that the supernatural events in the Bible did not literally occur. According to this view, the only thing the Bible is good for is moral teaching. If there is a God, he does not intervene in nature or the affairs of man. Jesus...

    The flood.

    Physicist, I want to thank you for this interesting discussion and for remaining courteous, even though we are clearly opposite in our views. When it comes to creation and the flood, there are many theories that have been proposed by young and old earth creationists, but, like evolution, they...

    The flood.

    Actually, you do have some good points there, Physicist. One of the major problems with the canopy theory is that any water canopy over three feet thick or so would cause a runaway greenhouse effect and make the planet far too hot. A thin canopy within the limits of human climate tolerance would...

    Haiti.

    Saying that Haiti was leveled because of the people's evil is true in a sense, but I think most people who say this think that they are somehow better. It is only because of God's mercy that any of us are spared. God would be perfectly just in obliterating all mankind from the earth because all...

    How about amillennialism?

    What about the New Jerusalem mentioned in Revelation 21, just after Revelation 20? This city comes “down out of heaven from God†after the old heaven and earth has passed away (Revelation 21:1-2). How can you be so sure that the Jerusalem spoken of and longed for by the prophets was not this...

    Christian Fantasy...after Tolkien and Lewis

    How about some fantasy before Lewis and Tolkien? Ever read George Macdonald? He was at one time more popular than Charles Dickens and he wrote some very insightful stories. The one that is more for adults is Phantastes, but the "children's" stories also had amazing depth. I especially liked The...

    How about amillennialism?

    I agree. This is a Messianic prophecy. Often these prophecies talk about the throne of David and the establishment of a kingdom with no end. Jesus fulfilled these because he was of the line of David and his kingdom will have no end, but it is not a physical one on earth. The Jews had the same...

    How about amillennialism?

    I noticed that most of the posts on this forum are on interpreting Revelation in terms of the time of the rapture, the millennium, the specifics of the beast and the Antichrist, and all mostly from either a premillennial or postmillennial view. Has anyone heard of the amillennial view? (it is...

    The flood.

    You are quoting the King James version, but other versions might give a better picture overall of what the passage is saying. "Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind...

    The flood.

    Genesis 9:13 does not specifically say that rainbows appeared only after the flood. God merely used the rainbow as a sign of his covenant with Noah. This would not be the only time God used an existing thing as a special “new†sign of a covenant (e.g., bread and wine in the Lord’s Supper...

    The flood.

    Thanks John. I had heard bits and pieces of this theory before from other sources, but that was a good summary. There is certainly evidence of huge migration coming through Alaska and down into the Americas and, to my mind, the theory makes decent sense. I won't hold to it as if it were gospel...

    Grace is given and not merely offered !

    We are called to preach the Gospel to all people. That is a very clear command in Scripture. We obey this command because we love God. If we hoard it and become proud because we are the "elect" who have found truth, we are actually demonstrating that we do not really know God or the Truth. In...

    The flood.

    Wow... the flood. Where to start? Genesis raises a lot of interesting questions, many of which we cannot answer. The main points that are essential to the Christian faith, however, are that: 1. God created the universe from nothing through His Word (Christ = the Word = logos in John 1). 2. God...

    Twilight

    I would have to agree. Harry Potter had a few problems with some dark and possibly morally ambiguous things, but it generally had good moral lessons and Harry Potter only conquered because of the support of his friends and the love of his parents, not because of some innate superhuman ability...

    Awesome Christian Metal!

    I enjoy some techno and electronica too, though I find that some of it can be very repetitive. I have heard some of Andy Hunter's work and it is quite good. I didn't know his music was in that many action movies, though. I should look more of his music up. One of my favorite...
