Evidence for God from Science

Heya, Felgar. First, let me say that I agree with your general doctrine here. There will some who will have greater rewards in heaven than others. (see 2 Corinthians 5:10) But, the question does come up regarding sorrow in Heaven, because we are told in the Bible that there will be none (Revelation ...

Hehe, well, I'm glad to be corrected

This most definitely one for the history books . . .

More linkage: http://www.secweb.org/asset.asp?AssetID=138 There was, needless to say, a backlash of atheists who were a little more than upset at Flew. In this article, he is writing to them to soothe any fears that he has converted to Christianity. He still claims to be an atheist, but says that he...

There could be... as for his personal salvation, I have a little more hope in the idea that he had a genuine salvation experience as a kid before he rejected his faith. It's not uncommon at that age to start questioning things, as I'm sure we are all aware. I deal with it all the time in my youth gr...

Anthony Flew has rejected atheism. Now THAT is news.

Read, comment, consider it's incredible usefulness in overcoming the argument that Christians don't understand the scientific method.

Yeah . . . actually, this is a really, really, really, really, really hot issue for theologians. In fact, it's foundational to our understanding of Pauline chronology. Here's the long and short of it: in one scenario, Paul wrote Galatians first between 48 and 49 AD. Following this would have been hi...

I'm not sure how this is talking out of both sides of my mouth. If it is, then the Bible itself is doing it. All I did was reference Scripture. 1) We do not nullify the Law by faith. 2) Christ removed the Law. I suspect you are familiar with this paradox and it needn't be explained. We uphold the La...

I was putting forward the suggestion based on the fact that Daniel was written after the Jews were scattered across the fertile crescent. Hence the Aramaic may have been directed towards these and the world in general (including Neb's statue) and the Hebrew towards the exile returnees. Hence, the p...

Bav, look at your objection again: Assuming RGB's position that Daniel isn't written to us because it was written to the Hebrews: 1) The OT wasn't written to us on the same grounds, 2) The OT contains restrictions against immoral actions 3) Therefore, these restrictions do not apply. You HAVE to see...

The intention isn't to be sarcastic, Bav. I didn't intend for it to be taken that way. I was responding during my five minute breaks at work, so the comments had to be short and make the point. That said, the point I was trying to make is that "free will" doesn't mean "freedom that is...

But that's my point, Bav. What does "for" mean? I couldn't care less about the "when" in the argument pertaining to Cain's sin or lack-there-of. What I'm interested in is the existence of Scripture to make the obvious fact explicit. If it was a sin for Cain to murder even though ...

Do you have the free will to fly like superman? Is your "free will" limited?

I am, but not in the way you define it. You say "free will" is a problem to OSAS. I say it is only in the way you define it, and I don't believe the Bible anywhere supports that type of definition.

I asked you. I think he did. The question is, do you think he did? The broader question is "Must it be forbidden in the biblical texts to be considered divinely forbidden?" If yes, then you have to explain Cain (and other instances). If no, then I don't think your objection to RGB holds. I...

Funny . . . I'm all about free will, and I don't have a problem with it . But then again, I don't believe we have the free choice to walk away from God.

Good verse, Felgar, and an excellent argument.
