Re: I don't know if I am an agnoistic or a Christian
You are always welcomed here, tabitha, to ask any question. There are those (skeptics AND Christians alike) who enjoy arguing and playing the "gotcha" game. If one follows the Christian worldview honestly, we believers should be prepared to answer questions, if they are genuine and sincere...

Re: I don't know if I am an agnoistic or a Christian
Tabitha, the question about Mark is addressed by Dr. Habermas. In response to the question regarding the gospel of Mark giving no mention of the appearances of the risen Christ: "Even if Mark does end there (empty tomb),which not everyone believes, you still have him proclaiming that the tomb i...

It's the usual "Well, God didn't specifically say we can't..."-type of reasoning.
Little thought or rationale applied.

Re: Sex within marriage
I heard a great sermon on this topic once. The pastor said, "If you think Adam and Eve spent their time picking daises in the Garden of Eden, you had better think again!" ;) I suppose it's possible that they engaged in other sexual activities besides intercourse but I wonder how many of th...

Re: A "faith" that works
Here I go again...sticking my neck into a heated conversation. It is my understanding that "good works" relate to 1.) reacting to the desire to want to learn more about God 2.) doing our "good works" for the glory of God, not for ourselves or others. I do believe Christ commanded...

Re: I don't know if I am an agnoistic or a Christian
I sort of look at the resurrection in more simplistic terms, with 2 questions that need to be answered: 1.) Did Jesus die? 2.) Was He later seen alive? Jesus' death is absolute, as noted by historians outside the scripture, as well as medical research done by Alexander Metherell, M.D., Ph.D. A medic...

Re: I don't know if I am an agnoistic or a Christian
I totally agree with zoegirl. I understand your difficulty with churches and pastors; it has taken me several years to find a church that does not consider being "seeker friendly" it's only priority. The pastor of my church is very young (it's his first church), has a degree in theology fr...

Re: I don't know if I am an agnoistic or a Christian
There are those who come to salvation through a sudden revelation ("thunderbolt") and have an emotional experience. I know of many people who are waiting for this to happen, as they continue to examine God and the scriptures. It may or may not happen to you. Please do not depend on an emot...

Re: I don't know if I am an agnoistic or a Christian
Tabitha..first off, I seem to sense a note of desperation in your writings. Relax. There is no time limit on coming to understand Jesus Christ, the scriptures, miracles, etc. You seem to have many questions, coming quickly, and it's best to take one question at a time. "Wishing" something ...

Batteling Christianity
I am quite capable when it comes to answering sincere questions from individuals who question my faith. I have difficulty engaging in conversations with fellow "Christians"! It seems the past year or so, I see an increase in arguing among Christians..young earth/old earth, the rapture, los...

Re: A "faith" that works
I am hesitant to post a comment here; both of you seem to be engaged in a rather compelling dialogue. I have considered the following: Salvation is given to us freely, if we accept it. There is nothing more one has to "do". Once we accept this (grace), Christ lives within us and we develop...

Re: I don't know if I am an agnoistic or a Christian
Ravi Zacharias explains that there are two types of agnostics: "hard-boiled" ("I don't know and you CANNOT know") and "soft-boiled" ("I don't know but one CAN know"). You sound like a "soft-boiled" agnostic. The Bible encourages us to ask questions, ...
