Been there , done that. Unfortunately your site makes all kind of assumptions that are nowhere held to be true. Anything in there can be answered here and verified independenly at you local library.

AiG is an invalid source. They have stated they won't accept anything that contradicts what they believe to be the "scriptural record", making them completely useless.

I don't agree...

I don't believe anything that contradicts scripture either.

http://www.answersingenesis.org/home.aspx

I urge Christians to visit this site and see for themselves.

Some very good articles in this site.

The bible is the only book I trust 100%. :D

 

[Frost Giant]

You don't agree? So what if you don't agree. If someone refuses to change their mind no matter what, then their opinion is worthless.

Their minds change on data but not scripture.

I have read their articles and they are not closed to the fact that they can be wrong in science. AIG believes that the scriptures are true and have never been refuted.

http://www.answersingenesis.org/home.aspx

Here is what I mean.

"Arguments we think creationists should not use"

The primary authority for Answers in Genesis is the infallible Word of God, the Bible (see Q&A Bible). All theories of science are fallible, and new data often overturn previously held theories. Evolutionists continually revise their theories because of new data, so it should not be surprising or distressing that some creationist scientific theories need to be revised too.

If someone changes their mind and turns in the right direction they have just defined the word repent. Therefore, when a person changes their mind relating to the Word of God and repents from their wrong lifestyle, and believes in the Lord Jesus Christ and follows him, then they are on the path to the kingdom of God. Anything other than that is going to lead them onto a path of eternal destruction.

Only Christiainity has a sin-bearer and Someone who was raised from the dead.

 

[Frost Giant]

Neither of those claims are true to only Christianity, and neither of them have any evidence to support them. From historical accounts we know that a man named Christ existed, anything beyond that is belief and you cannot expect anyone who isn't a Christian to believe it.

Re: transformed

[
Some have been born of God and the Holy Spirit conveys the evidence to the believer, while others have no idea what the evidence is because they refuse to see and hear the truth of God.

If genuine evidence is present it should be presentable. As I said making the claim is different than presenting the evidence or proof of God. Many people of different faiths make the same claim. Are they valid as well even though they might not acknowledge the "Holy Spirit? Or is God generic and no particular religion is required?

And that's where the credibility of the messenger comes in. Mohammed was a self-confessed fallible human being who murdered and lusted after young girls. If one believes that he has knowledge of God, then he deserves what he gets. I prefer to believe a man who gave up his life for me than one who would take it if I didn't do what he wanted. Most children insinctively know who's more trustworthy. But unfortuately, most adults do not.

No evidence Jesus ever did anything of the things the Bible claims.

And I'm sure all the boys who have been molested by priests will testify to that.

I have a Bible. It records the life and teachings of Christ and His followers.

I also have a personal relationship with Christ.

That is all I need.

Oh there is plenty of evidence. You just do not have the eyes to see with, or the ears to hear with. Pray to God so that he will give you the eyes and ears to see and hear truth. Otherwise remain in the darkness until the judgment of all mankind.

I have the eyes and ears to see and hear truth! Won't you please share with us what this evidence is that you speak of? Thanks Solo! :D

 

[AHIMSA]

I think Nieztche said: "A single stroll through the mad house shows that faith proves nothing".

 

[serephiale]

I thought the point of Christ's coming, life, crucifixion, death, rising from it, and ascension were to reforge the broken bond between man and God that sin put asunder. Christ came to redeem us and pay the price for our sins. Whether or not there was a literal Fall seems fairly irrelevant to me because it in no way detracts from the simple fact that sin exists. Without the literal Fall, we may not know when sin entered the human existence or how, but I think we can agree that it did.

 

[Grengor]

serephiale, the forums coding is messed up, even if you get an error message, your post most likely went through. No need to keep re-trying it.
