The Narrow Path Ministries

crgfstr1, Homer is at it again, making the same false statements that he has made (and been unable to defend when challenged) for many years. He always claims that the arguments for Restorationism have to "explain away" scriptures, and are "philosophical." He cannot show that such is the case with ...

crgfstr1, In your study regarding universalism I suggest you try an exercise. There are a number of passages in the New Testament understood to be descriptive of the final judgement and fate of the lost. Some appear to favor the traditional view and some the annihilationist view. Can you find even ...

I'm happy to learn that yours is the position of love being the source of morality, crgfstr1. Perhaps it may surprise you to learn that I also believe love is the source. But what is love? Love is not merely an emotion; it is action—action to benefit people. For that reason, I was surprised at your...

Well, I'm rather skeptical of "demon-possessed objects." Biblically speaking, demons indwell people; Jesus cast them out on several occasions. But there's no record of Him having cast demons out of objects. I am skeptical too. The only thing that makes me think maybe is Paul's handkerchief. If it c...

So crgfstr1, what do you think is the basis for morality? Are God's commands the basis? Is a morally right act defined as that which God commands? And a morally wrong act defined as that which God forbids? And if God said nothing about the act, then it's up to us whether to do it or not? For exampl...

I am going further than that. I am saying if there is no God then why is Human Joy important? How can it be any more important than a fire burning? With or without God, it doesn't make sense to ask why human joy is important. It is intrinsically valuable. To ask why human joy is important is a bit ...

Thanks for sharing why this topic is important to you. The point isn't to dismiss their findings. It is to get them to think about the foundations (as you suggested). All of these secular ethics make the assumption that humans have value. That is the question. Okay, tell me why do humans have value?...

I am going further than that. I am saying if there is no God then why is Human Joy important? How can it be any more important than a fire burning? We as humans may think there is significance to it and assign it value. I can find no difference between life and a chemical reaction. We have separated...

A discussion amongst Christians on ethics is kinda stuck in a Matrix (the movie)-like situation. Because we believe YHWH created and sustains the universe, then some form of ethics is hard-wired into everyone, including the unbeliever. So it's impossible to argue that if there wasn't a god/bible, t...

Simply ask an atheist or agnostic, and respect their answers. Rather than dismissing them. Regardless of what their answers or my answers are if there is no God then there is no way to know what is right from wrong. Though I agree with other posts that right and wrong are because of the cause and e...
