The Unforgivable Sin
Hello Everyone, I was looking through some of the older threads on "Atheists and Youtube" and some other discussions on blasphemy, and I have a question about the atheists who participated in the "blasphemy challenge" on youtube. If you're not familiar with this stunt, a few year...

Adoption instead of Abortion
Hello Everybody, I wanted to post about some misconceptions that I previously had about the options available in the adoption process. I don't know how common my specific misconceptions are, but I suspect that I'm not the only person who held a skewed perspective. I just want to put this post out th...

"Abomination" in Scripture
Hello Everyone, I recently saw the video of Matthew Vines' presentation arguing against the traditional interpretation of the Bible with regard to same-sex relationships, and I thought he provided a well-prepared, respectful and thought-provoking series of arguments. In one part of his presentation,...

Re: "Creatio ex" beliefs
Thank you, Jac. I have never heard any Genesis interpretation that described God as a craftsman rather than a creator. Interesting... Ex nihilo seems outwardly consistent with scripture, but I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who believes in "ex deo" or "ex materia" unless ...

Re: Simple argument against Christianity
I believe that this is inconsistent with the passage from Romans that Zionist posted in this thread. Why? I was referring mostly to 20.For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been ma...

Re: Simple argument against Christianity
The logic of this argument is sound if you agree that the premises are each correct; this is not an example of denying the antecedent. I considered myself a born-again Christian for over a decade. I loved being Christian--emotionally...socially...spiritually. In my mid-20s I started to really think ...

Re: "Creatio ex" beliefs
Are there passages in the Bible that have led people toward one "creatio ex" belief over another?

Re: "Creatio ex" beliefs
Yes! I don't have much time to write, but this is the basic understanding that I have about the different "creatio ex" theories with regard to God's initial creation of the universe as described in Genesis: Ex nihilo: God created the universe out of absolutely nothing. Ex materia: God crea...

Re: Evolution and Intelligent Design
And the semantic arguments about "scientific theory" are getting kindof ridiculous. Philosophy of logic has been recognized as conflicting with inductive reasoning. But inductive reasoning is the best we have for a lot of things. Predictions based on the probability that something works on...

Re: Evolution and Intelligent Design
It seems to me that if we place this under the category of "we don't know exactly how life came to be on Earth", that your example has no effect on the Theory of Evolution itself. That is, if life began with this basic function intact, that evolution taking place afterward would no longer...

Re: Masturbation Inquiry
What about masturbation for women? I think that when most women masturbate, they are generally focused on the physical sensation without really needing to even imagine having sex or thinking about naked men. Being much less visually-oriented, I think that it is fairly easy for a woman to masturbate ...

Re: Evolution and Intelligent Design
KBC, Would you mind elaborating on the answer you gave Ivellious when he asked how the necessity of of spatiotemporal control system impacts the theory of evolution? I don't understand how requiring a designer to institute the 3D control system means that macroevolution of species did not still occu...

Re: The Sabbath, to keep or not to keep....
After stalking this thread for a while, despite great arguments from both sides, I feel convinced that Christians should practice the Sabbath. I UNDERSTAND THAT NO LEVEL OF OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW IS NECESSARY FOR SALVATION! However, there is a clear agreement among Christians that despite the gift of ...
