    You did it or it did you?

    There's a very good reason for that In other words, you must chose to live as if we have it because "to do other wise is to say that we bear no responsibility for our actions." etc. You see, you directly unaffirm or contradict you argument for chosing to live like you have free will. In a...

    You did it or it did you?

    I'm sure this has been debated in here before. I just wanted to start a new thread on the subject rather than look up an old one that probably has a bunch of posts on it already and has taken many different directions. I will first state that I believe that the idea of a "free will" is a...

    Trinity Myth

    Well, I definetly don't claim to have it all figured out. When it comes to this highly debated subject I recognize that many Christians approach trying to explain it in different ways. So instead of looking down on them for finding different ways of reaching the same ends, I just wanted to post...

    Does Music Affect Your Actions?

    There is a very interesting video series on the subject you can buy at http://www.artofthecovenant.com I saw it and was impressed at the research this group did. A couple of interesting notes to take into consideration here is that, for one, music has a direct role to play in many religions...

    Trinity Myth

    Belive it or not, I understand your confusion and am even sorry for it. One of the most confusing parts about the trinity is the fact that while yes, Christians do indeed believe in one God, the Father is God, The Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, all three are still individuals that make...

    Sentiment

    All I did was state that I have had conversations with people who claim to be Atheists and have used agnosticism as a methodology for reaching Atheism. I never claimed that they were one in the same or that they weren't one in the same. If it's any consolation, I know that there are other...

    Trinity Myth

    This unfortunatley comes from, I hope, well intended Christians trying to explain the trinity with a limited knowledge of what it actually is. You are right about modalism being heresy though, although this point does nothing to discredit the docctrine of the trinity. All it does is discredits...

    Trinity Myth

    I don't ever remember doubting that women have been treated wrongly in the past by Christians, so I am not sure why you keep bringing this up. I even agree that it is wrong that women have been treated this way and have brought up Biblical reasons that support why I agree with you. Which is...

    Sentiment

    Well, my stumpy fingers struck again with a "typo". The sentence in the original post; "Now am I referring to the association of many religious beliefs with superstition and the acceptance of evident empirical falsehoods." should actually read Nor am I referring to the association of many...

    Sentiment

    Here is a telling quote from Thomas Nagel, Atheist, and professor of philosophy at New York University, in his work "The Last Word" (p. 130): " In speaking of the fear of religion, I don't mean to refer to the entirely reasonalble hostility toward certain established religions...in virtue of...

    Trinity Myth

    Thanks for validating that. I wasn't sure what exactly you meant by the statement. You actually bring up a very interesting point. You are most definitley right about how women's testimonies were treated back then, not just by Peter, but by everyone during that period in history. As a matter of...

    How do you KNOW that you are "right"?

    I guess it depends on what context one is using the word "discrimination" in, although I am a pretty strict on straying from conventionalism and insisting that others use proper definitions of words so I must not be a hypocrite and except a correction from someone else on the same issue...

    Trinity Myth

    WOW !!! All those "ivory tower" referrences and not one of them seem to agree with what the origins of the trinity are. One states that it "developed gradually over several centuries" , another states "The road which led from Jerusalem to Nicea was scarcely a straight one." as if the concept...

    Can you please specifically validate this statement? Sincerely, SoliDeogloria

    How do you KNOW that you are "right"?

    *** The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 *** Discrimination \Dis*crim`i*na"tion\, n. [L. discriminatio the contrasting of opposite thoughts.] 1. The act of discriminating, distinguishing, or noting and marking differences. [1913 Webster] To make an anxious...

    How do you KNOW that you are "right"?

    I sure hope that you are not assuming that I am promoting discrimination or not letting people live. Just because I don't agree with another person's beliefs as being valid or right does not mean that I feel a need to discriminate against that person or not let them live. Now while I understand...

    A question about Apologetics.

    The call for Christians to get involved in Apologetics comes from 1 Pet 3:15 "but sanctify Christ as LORD in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense (apologia) to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentileness and reverence;" Sincerely...

    Trinity Myth

    As far as Paul is concerned, although I would like to know what you mean by "until after his death", I am suprised that you did not bring up the Council at Nicea as most opposers of the doctrine of the trinity do. We can look at what another Apostle who did not have as much of an obligation to...

    How do you KNOW that you are "right"?

    My Apologies for wasting a post over this but I felt the need to correct myself. I would usually just let my mistake ride but I didn't want this one to come back on me later on. Stupid short stubby fingers anyways (hehe). Anyways, the way I intended the above quoted statement to read was; If...
