    Why do Atheists not believe? + OFF-TOPIC GOODNESS

    Re: Why do Atheists not believe? nor is pragmatism a valid worldview... for Hitler and many in his Germany it was pragmatic to rid the world of Jews... based on pragmatism alone one would have no grounds on which to stand in order to say that this was evil.... btw, Occam was a Christian.... so...

    A few questions.

    by the way, outside of Christ, no one is considered ""good" or "honest" people... if you look again this again from any perspective you know very well that every single person has lied, every one has violated the moral law: Rom 3:10-18 esv as it is written: (11) no one understands; no one...

    The Two Gospels

    false dilemma/dichotomy... there is a true and false gospel, but there is one true gospel and many false gospels... per Paul in Galatians 1... there is a gospel that teaches salvation by grace through faith alone (monergism), and then there are many autosoteric views... blessings, ken

    A few questions.

    again, a contradiction is a very specific thing... eg saying that A is not A and non-A at the same time and in the same relationship..... saying that God is both merciful and holy, and that at the same He expresses wrath against the creatures of His own creation, is not a contradiction. It may...

    Can God's Existence be Proven through Science?

    perhaps some or even many things that were once thought to be supernatural have been given natural reasons for occurring, but certainly not everything. The existence of God is one supernatural proposition which itself, to my knowledge, has not been given a scientific reason or explanation for...

    Why do Atheists not believe? + OFF-TOPIC GOODNESS

    Re: Why do Atheists not believe? 2Co 4:3-4 esv And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing. (4) In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the...

    Does God have a name?

    I agree free... Jehovah is certainly not inherently blasphemous, or, if it is, I would really like to know exactly why, based on the Scripture itself and not just an opinion. On the other hand, God is known by many names, so contrary to the JW's it is not THE name of God. I don't mean by this...

    Alcohol in Heaven

    anything can lead one to sin... even prohibiting and going beyond what is written in the scriptures for example ;) ... if the bible does not forbid having a drink, then who is anyone to add to what is written? If we should not have a drink because it can lead to sin, then by the same reasoning...

    Love as a Commandment

    because love is more than a mere emotion... part of the problem in today's culture is that love has become nothing but romantic feelings, butterflies, warm fuzzies... this is a modern post-Enlightenment innovation and is has wrecked our culture.... whereas love in the scriptures is much deeper...

    contradictions in the bible

    As far as the genealogy goes... here is some information that hopefully will be of help, though it should be noted that there are in fact many ideas regarding this biblical difficulty, from saying that Matthew traces Joseph's lineage while Luke deals with Mary's; to thinking that the idea of...

    contradictions in the bible

    just don't let your struggle pass by without doing the necessary work to resolve the issues... it can be easy to try and find difficulties with the faith, and it is totally normal to have questions, but failure to pursue those questions, to do the sometimes hard work at resolving the issues as...

    contradictions in the bible

    Re: A fair challenge well you seem to presuppose that the Bible is errant, so now we inerrantists should automatically reject everything YOU say? Now everything YOU say is "ad hoc" and "merely" subjective because of YOUR presuppositions??? lol.... The fact that you even think you are objective...

    Does God have a name?

    God has a a number of names, often they are meant to emphasize a particular attribute of God, such as "Father" or "Provider" or "our peace" or Wonderful Counselor", or "Everlasting Father"... Given that Jesus is God, as well as the Holy Spirit, calling God by those names seems appropriate as...

    The Trinity

    MEC, at least we can agree on this, one of us is wrong... God cannot be both triune and not triune... if the unitarian montheists, be they Arians, modalists, of whatever stripe... are right about God then the Trinitarians are wrong and we are serving a false god. Of course, I believe it is the...

    How Did Yashu'a , Isa , Jesus Christ Choose His Disciples ?

    He chose for the same reason He choose any of His elect... just as there was nothing inherent within the country of Israel which compelled God to choose that nation.... and there was nothing inherent in any of the disciples such that God would be compelled to choose them, so the ultimate reason...

    The religion of Atheism.

    the key phrase here is that atheists (or at least some atheists) disbelieve in god because the claim is that there is a lack of scientific evidence. But here's the thing.... you do not see people positing ontological or cosmological arguments for pink unicorns or aliens.... so the atheist that...

    Theism Vs Atheism

    SB wrote what does thermodynamics have to do with logic? I thought these were scientifically proven principles, not laws of logic.... if you can point me towards an explanation that tells me how these laws are principles of logic I would appreciate it..... to say that a supernatural cause...

    The Trinity

    Jesus most certainly made such judgments, both during His earthly ministry and spoke of a judgment to come.... the parable of the sheep and goats for instance.... Jesus makes it clear that anyone who does not believe in Him is condemned already, as in John 3:18.... Jesus does make it clear that...

    Is Jesus equal to His Father?

    what about statements made by Paul...? Titus 2:13-14 (ESV) [13] waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, [14] who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are...
