Resistant people... an Internet phenomenon! ;)

I was on Facebook this afternoon and found that there was an argument of abortion vs. adoption going on. At one point someone said that "morals are relative, policy is not". I seriously had to step away from my computer to calm down and I deleted any attempt to answer it because I've gotte...

Re: Choose Me, or ...

I don't know if God created the arc angels with the ability to know fear. It leads to a conundrum of sorts because a question I asked myself a number of years ago which I didn't have a satisfactory response for (and I don't believe there is a satisfactory response for it) was, Have the angels Gabri...

Re: Movies

Thanks for the replies! Do you think movies like Harry Potter are ok? I understand that there's magic in it, but does that ruin the entire movie? I don't think that magic in a movie is a very big deal. Harry Potter, at least I thought, was less of the occult and more towards Christianity. In the bo...

Re: I want to start my own apologetics website. Thoughts?

I sometimes go to a website called pleaseconvinceme.com - it's evidence-based and the person running it is a cold-case homicide detective (policeman). I'm friends with him on Facebook (his name is Jim Wallace or sometimes J. Warner Wallace, and he was an atheist for the first 35 years of his life, s...

Re: Experience with Atheist forums

Same here. The amount of anger and hate I find on such forums never ceases to surprise me. The amount of swear words proves it. Yet they want me to believe that they are happy and content. Sorry, content people don't get fired up about a deity they don't believe in. That's exactly right and I alway...

Re: Christian Fiction

Others would be MacDonald, Chesterton. The great Russian novelists, Dostoevsky in particular. I've heard skeptics state that The Brothers Karamov presents the most compelling case for theism that they've ever heard. Of course, many of the greatest literary works from the 17-19th centuries (and medi...

Re: Disgusting

I don't like South Park, but I guess you could say I "appreciate" that they are one of the very, very few truly equal opportunity comedies that makes fun of absolutely everybody. Family Guy is ridiculously hypocritical and "preachy". Hopefully this thing doesn't get more attenti...

Re: Does Mitt Romney Have a chance at becoming president?

By the way I forgot to add, Mormonism teaches that you become your own god to rule over your own planets and people. What does that tell you? Am I the only one who studies this stuff? y:-/ :lol: No, we actually had a girl that was invited to our Campus Crusade group who was Mormon and we had to exp...

Some tend to confuse evolution with "darwinisim". Evolution means that living organisims change ( evolve) to adapt to imposed demands of their environment. We see examples of it "every" day. Darwinisim is the view that these changes are "random" and "unguided"...

Re: I'm having doubts about my salvation again

Repentance is a tricky word. If I remember correctly, the most correct way to translate it would be to say that it is a change of heart. That basically means that to repent of your sin would mean to change your mind about the fact that your sin is wrong. Essentially, acknowledge that you have made ...

This isn't Hana, but since our usernames are similar at first glance, I completely understand your mistake haha Very true, they won't hear the gospel unless we preach it, so does that mean God does need us?

Re: End of Days Question

First you would have to provide evidence that the account of the End of Days really does just refer to Earth, the 3rd planet from the sun First of all you have to prove that the people who wrote about the end of days actually spoke to God and that of course implies proving that a God exists (someth...
