Re: Prayer request for my mom

That sounds like cautiously good news under the circumstances, Byblos. Keep us informed. We will continue to pray.

Re: God Particle? Any ideas?

The only thing random about evolution is the mutations that start the process, but those mutations are rewarded or destroyed due to environmental circumstance. It's not "random" because there is no desired end point for evolution and that's probably what they meant by that. That is questi...

Depps' Disgusting Music Video

What is it with people that they think this type of crude blasphemy is acceptable? It seems no one told actor Johnny Depp who lent his voice to the rock band Babybird for a Christmas song filled with images of a drunken, party going Jesus, in the song “Jesus Stag Night Club.” http://www.christianpos...

Re: WBC

August, I'm one looking from outside the Arminianism/Calvinism feud I'm not at either end of this spectrum. There are things in each that I believe are biblical, and things in each, that I believe aren't. One doesn't have to be an Arminian or a Calvinist. Contrary to what many Arminians and Calvini...

Re: WBC

Where was “Christ alone” when you went to an Arminian to counter Calvinism, Rick? From those notes by Wesley, in his comments on 9:21: But God's methods of dealing with us, as our Governor and Judge, are dearly revealed and perfectly known; namely, that he will finally reward every man according to...

Re: WBC

Rick, the bottom line is you quoted an Arminian interpretation to 'refute' individual election in Romans 9. You didn't use your bible alongside the Holy spirit. This after accusing me of using Calvin to interpret scripture. You even called the Arminian's interpretation "proper context"......

Re: Ken Ham - and YEC

Why do YEC’ers appear so hostile and militant? Because those who are hostile & militant give power to their fleshly nature. Ditto for supercillious OEC's and KJV-Onlyists and British-Israelists and ___________________. In other words, they are spiritually weak. A close study of Romans 14 would ...

Re: WBC

This is what I have found, to understand what Bart was saying. This is my opinion only, and I'm not sure if it is any way, related to Bart's view. For my response to August, I'll refer to the Calvinist website, that he showed me. So there won't be any disagreements with that end of my ideas. http:/...

Re: Neurosurgeon NDE Interview

Thanks BW, well explained. Have you interacted with other people that had NDE's? I see that he said that he didn't want to interact with others initially as he did not want to taint his memories. What I am curious about is whether anyone else have had a similar experience to yours that you know of. ...

Re: Neurosurgeon NDE Interview

BW, I was hoping you would weigh in here. Couple of observations and questions: I also read a bit on his own website where there is some more detail. He now seems to lean towards a sort of New Age spirituality, is that also your impression? Did you also experience the hyper reality he speaks about? ...

Re: WBC

I believe I'm beginning to understand what Bart is saying about Calvinism, taken to its logical conclusion, results in behavior like the behavior manifested by WBC. Well, then it is time to show how that is true. There is a huge gap between what hypers believe and teach, and what Calvinist doctrine...

Neurosurgeon NDE Interview

A hard-core materialist neurosurgeon has an NDE, and completely changes his opinion on mind/body and dualism. Fascinating interview.
