Short answer: 1.) Evidence is available which verifies the truth of Christianity. 2.) If Christianity is true, other religions which contradict it must be false. (Law of noncontradiction). 3.) Jesus said, "No one can come to the Father but by me". Therefore, any competing claim for salvati...

Well, I think I am going to check myself into a mental institution :? , this website - http://skepdic.com/ - plus other atheists websites has better logical evidence for their claims than Christianity does. Have you actually examined and compared the evidence? Islam existed before Christianity. No....

Well, the Hebrew word used for the male animals was "zakhar". Therefore, all of the "male animals" were really temple prostitutes. (Note my sarcasm and see here .) On a more serious note, ever heard of the local flood interpretation? Hugh Ross holds to it, as does Rich Deem . Bas...

Also jerickson314, please don't become an atheist like you mentioned in some form in your post above. Don't worry. I was only being hypothetical. Also, just know, and you most likely already do, if you frequent atheist websites, it just is more visual poisen for you to read. It can be good if it is...

HMG, you did note that J.P. Holding actually has rebuttals to several of the rebuttals that have been made to "The Impossible Faith"? Chances are, he has already read the rebuttal you are referring to, and responded to it. If not, let him know. I'm sure he would be more than happy to refut...

Okay, thanks for the links Christian2. I am still left confused though. Here is my dilema. In the OT it starts by stating the creation of the earth, much of what current religions today share, later on, the rules are layed out and it says not to worship pagan gods, some people didn't worship pagan ...

My question is, WHERE do the secularists get their information to "disprove" Christianity? A lot of it is misinterpreting valid evidence. Some of it is from a way of thinking that logically follows if atheism is true. Some of it is misunderstanding Christianity. Is it from other secular f...

Depends if abuse or cheating was involved.
I was being general. In any case, with abuse or cheating it is the abuser or cheater who is unfaithful.

Oh, also, according to the sub-site from http://www.americanatheists.org , NoGodBlog.com, David Silverman states this and I quote "Dave's quote: Of all theological beliefs, only Atheism has no flaws. Atheism is perfect." What can you say about that? It has no flaws, I suppose you could sa...

i have a feeling this is one of those ot laws that was "done away with." This rule is only mentioned in the New Testament. It is in fact mentioned right as Jesus is doing away with another OT law, the one permitting free divorce. does everyone think this? it is completely unrealistic to e...

People Think the Bible Says Pi = 3

Some people on another forum made a fatal mistake. They decided to get into an argument with me about pi. You can see the results here . Basically, they claim that the Bible says pi = 3. The Bible makes no such claim. If we take the Bible with way too strong scientific expectations, we find it says ...

It cannot be proven 100% true, right. However, what this means is that the absolute truth is unknowable. Not that it doesn't exist.

That isn't stated in scripture. They're making up arguments =P The only time a second marriage is sinful if the divorce was not justified by abuse or adultery. Well, what about when the divorce was unjustified? See I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries...

These people go beyond that. They say that continuing in a second marriage after a divorce is itself sin, and that to repent the marriage must be dissolved.
