Re: What's Wrong With Calvinism?

The prodigal son does not apply here. The father never stopped loving his son. And likewise, God never stops loving us. That's exactly what I'm saying. No, God does not love each and every one of us. The gift of salvation is only for those that believe. That's a pretty big claim. Especially with su...

Re: What's Wrong With Calvinism?

Where do the people who "used" to believe and are now atheists fit? You see, it is hard for me to believe anyone can once believe and then stop believing. It makes no sense. It's like if I was to go into the next room and convince myself this computer I'm working on doesn't exist. It seem...

I've been curious about RTB's courses. Looking forward to an insight into your experiences.

Re: New atheist deconversion videos...

Hello, Juan. I'm not the most intelligent of the users here, but I'm going to try to address your post a bit... Everyone starts off as non-believers. You have to be taught about a god since it's not self evidence (and please don't do the argumentum ad ignorantiam fallacy of "look around you, ho...

Re: Hmm, question regarding the soul, and the serpent...

Ah, that makes a lot of sense! I had never really thought of it in such away.

You've been much, sir. I thank you.

Thanks! I knew there had to be something, I simply haven't read enough of the Bible for myself.

Hmm, question regarding the soul, and the serpent...

Well, I somehow came upon this website while doing some internet browsing. I wound up on this article: http://freethoughtpedia.com/wiki/What_Is_The_Soul%3F Now, I never really thought about this before, and I'm betting my lack of response to this is all result of my own ignorance, but I'd like some ...

Re: Responding to Evangelical Atheists

I'm coming to the conclusion that nearly every argument you see from your average layman atheist is based upon a misunderstanding of the Bible. It's rather unfortunate, because having to correct the same misunderstandings can get rather old very fast. Anyway, I think you took the correct approach he...

Re: God's voice?

I don't think anyone can answer this question for another person. In reality, no man can know for sure the heart of another. Whether or not it's truly God speaking to you is entirely up to you to determine. Ultimately, I think you have had God speak to you, and are now having a repercussion of doubt...

Re: MORE EVIDENCE refuting Young Earth Creationism!

Katabole, that is a very interesting take on things indeed. However, I believe God was talking about spiritual death, rather than physical death, in that scripture. See here.

http://www.christiananswers.net/q-aig/aig-c005.html What possible validity lies in this? I'm not very happy with the obvious hostility towards the Day-age crowd (and other beliefs that reject that the Earth was created in six 24-hour days), but it seems like an interesting concept. I've been especia...

Re: Time for a bit of a challenge...

The only single part of your post I don't quite get is when you stated that particles to people evolution is a part of the ID crowd's stances. I don't quite get how that would fit in with Intelligent Design, aside from when God made man out of the dust of the ground. (which isn't exactly evolution)...

I dont' disagree with Zoe, but it does raise and isse. And there in lies the problem for me. DESIGN the experiments. At this point the word natural has to be tossed out the window.
