Re: Debating an Atheist

There are too many issues floating around here- can we agree on one thing? Otherwise it devolves into personal complaints which distract from the real issues. I guess evolution is the main focus, huh?

Re: Debating an Atheist

I follow Jesus because I have received the testimony of good men n' women who say that Jesus was crucified for our sins and was raised from the dead for our life. Now for the sake of this possible discussion I will now grant you that evolution is tru, Truman. So my next question to you I suppose sh...

Re: If eternal conscious torment is false, then its "party time"

From what I'm reading from you all, it doesn't sound like there is any disagreement on this issue. What? There is profound disagreement! Here are the positions of the two sides as I see it: 1. Everyone who comes to Christ is motivated by a desire to receive rewards and/or escape punishment. If not,...

Re: William Barclay on "kolasis" and "timoria"

Commitment to a task or activity is a promise. I seldom make promises. I am loathe to break a promise if I find it necessary to do so. So I prefer not to make them. How can I respond to your posts if you are not committed? Why wouldn't you be able to respond? By faith, you could post the challenges...

Re: Advice Please!

Thanks guys. Roberto wrote: Is it true? I recommend asking our Lord..... I do not intend to offend, but that is pretty close to that other's guy's statement that galled me, because it presumes that I have not bothered to seek the Lord on this issue, and that if I did, I would get it revealed to me ...

Re: Advice Please!

The UR or conditionalism response that I have seen is that Jesus is speaking about what is happening at the time He spoke it.
Is it true? I recommend asking our Lord.....

Re: Your Wish is My Command

As Singalphile pointed out, this is the same as the Secret. It attributes to the universe the powers that the Bible attributes to God. It also makes man potentially sovereign, and in control of reality, whereas the Bible puts God in that position. The difference between this and Christianity is pre...

Re: Not a "People Person"

Roberto wrote: I guess it depends what you mean by "advantage". I would imagine that many great artists and scientists, for example, have been introverts. Perhaps introverts can "dwell more deeply" on inner realities. Jesus spent each night alone, did He not? Perhaps He is the perfect balance! I su...
