    Predestination

    There are certain things that can not be argued as far as predestination goes. For example, we as humans are all predestined to one day die, etc. If there are exceptions to the insistence that there is no such thing as predestination as this, then logic commands that there is at least a...

    Predestination

    In an attempt to get this debate back on track, here is that debate I mentioned in my earlier post. It was originally published in the Christian Research Journal and was quite the turning point for me. The qualification should be made that this debate is taken from a Christian presupposition...

    Predestination

    I Usually don't like getting into a discussion this late in the game, but being as how this just so happens to be my favorite topic of debate I couldn't help myself. I decided to go throught the 140 some odd posts and go from there. I wholeheartedly believe in predestination from a...

    The Irrational Side?

    The thing I like about my "irrational side" is some of the thoughts that come to mind right before I go into a deep sleep. Sometimes I have caught them and asked myself "where in the heck did that come from?!". Am I crazy or do other people experience this? In conclusion, sure I believe that...

    Community and the Gap Between Rich and Poor?

    I probably shouldn't state this but, if the rich want to live segregated from me, that suits me just fine. I have always lived what would be considered by many standards to be "poor" life. This issue has a lot to do with why I ended up in prison (not to make excuses. I blame nobody but myself...

    Nothingness

    This just sounds like silly logic to me. Isn't mathematics something? What about atoms? I guess your definition of nothing is too dependant on empirical observation. That's alright though. I was under the impression that the words something and nothingness were direct antonyms but the...

    The 'Evil' Mary Poppins...

    I remember when all this criticism for Harry Potter came about. the Christian Research Jounal had an article about it's criticism and even The Lord of the Rings movies. The basic point of the article was that when one considers the moral lessons given in the movies and how the "witchcraft" in...

    You can do anything you put your mind to

    Well, as a Christian, I don't believe that we make our own realities with cognition, that would be defined as some sort of insanity. I do however firmly believe that we are capable of MUCH more than we settle for and cognition can play a very important role in this. Looking at my own life, I...

    The Insurance aspect?

    (sarcasm)Oh Rob, How I love it when people superimpose meaning into my post and make assumptions about my personal life based on my post.(/sarcasm) You see, I am what some hospital workers have called the "working poor class". I make too much money for any form of government subsudized health...

    Another initation to debate

    Oh boy, the Apologist's creed!!! (the word "answer" in this verse is the greek word "apologia", meaning to make a defense) I must confess that I appreciate your knowledge of scripture. No. If I wasted my hope on something like that, I would be quite the dissappointed person don't you think...

    No faith is ascendant

    Right, with the intellectual prowess of changing definitions of words and scientific laws to fit conclusions, etc. I'm sorry but I am just not impressed as of yet. Every discussion I have gotten into with somebody over this subject just turns into a debate over adlibs and linguistic...

    The Insurance aspect?

    I have always considered Insurance to be the biggest scam to have ever hit humanity. Just looking at some basic tenets of it like: 1. Collect money from people based on the idea that they will help people out in troubling times. 2. Make it extremely hard for people to get money back in troubling...

    Homosexuality is NOT a choice!

    You know, as much as I disagree with the notion that homosexuality is not a choice, I must confess that as a Christan Calvinist, this notion really plays into the notion that if decisions are made due to biological make up, then the only logical conclusion would be that there is no such thing as...

    No faith is ascendant

    Even most Christians believe that there is such a thing as general revelation("Baker's Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics" Norman Geisler : General revelation refers to God's revelation in nature as opposed to his revelation in Scripture...General revelation is important to Christian...

    Invitation to a formal debate regarding homosexuality

    While I agree that there are a myriad of interpretations of what faith holds, I am curious as to what standard you use to make the statement that none are ascendant over another? Sorry to take this thread off course a little but I had to know. We may have to take this discussion to another...

    Invitation to a formal debate regarding homosexuality

    Pah, I think you are a trully wonderfull debater and would love to debate with you on an issue concerning homosexulaity. I just have two reservations though. The first one is that, for me personally, homosexual marriages in the U.S. is a nonissue for the simple fact that it really doesn't matter...

    Needing Answers, Not Excuses

    How ususal is this. With your distinction of the words "us" and "people", I would have to assume that you are distinguishing yourself from people and if you are not I would have to ask how you are so sure that you do not have any "screwed up genes". Either way it is a pretty pompous statement...

    Three Move Checkmate: 666

    Oh boy, How many directions can I go with this one. First off I would like to qualify that I am no expert in eschatology nor do I even try to be with all the different interpretations of end-time Biblical scripture. What I first find interesting is the emphasis of the KJV which tempts me to...
