The Narrow Path Ministries

I have reflected more on my questions and am even more concerned with the why of Dr. White's final statement. He is too experienced a debater to just have dropped that statement off the cuff and too knowledgeable of how we see the issue to be confused about the consequences, (good or bad), of our vi...

"I don't think debates are very helpful. I would prefer just 2 or 3 friends talking about their differences" I actually like debates and think they are the best way to get to the truth. When two, or more, knowledgeable people of more or less equal knowledge debate neither is allowed to get away with...

Over the last few days I listened to the debate between Steve and Dr. White. I realize the debate is from over 6 years ago but still found it riveting. I also did some web searching and read comments from both sides from back right after the debate and in general the perception of who had the best p...

So, once again, was Jesus showing compassion to the pigs?

I found this about an hour long video which asks and answers the question "Did Augustine corrupt the church with Manichean or Gnostic doctrine?" Although books usually do a more thorough job of documenting something such as this I have also found it difficult to convince the average church goer to r...

I'm not suggesting demons are in any way redeemable. And they are certainly enemies of the Kingdom. However, just as in wars this country has fought, with the civil war being a good example, our soldiers have found themselves on opposite sides of the lines from others who could have otherwise been g...
