    Which Type of Dispensational Are You and Why?

    God's relationship with mankind, and to individual men and women is just that - individual, based ultimately on faith and through the blood of Christ. There is not a single instance of 100% shared experience in the entire history of mankind. So, each individual experience with and relationship...

    Calvary was never plan B

    The dispensations of God are a bit more in depth than has been referenced here. As in, as many dispensations as there are humans in history. With regard to God's plan, it seems to me that any talk of a "plan B" entails a different god than the maximally great God who took that walk of...

    How are we "Sons of God" like Christ Jesus, or where it says "You/we are god's"... How are we...?

    This is a fascinating subject and key to understanding God's purpose for creating the universe. It seems to me that the Angels were created in God's image with a free will, but no conscience. In their context, it is not needed. They have God to instruct and to judge them. They have rational...

    Whats the point of praying

    I'll make this as short and clear as I can. On this world, God is proving His greatness. That's the whole purpose. He did not create us to give us happy, peaceful, healthy, long, wealthy lives. If He did, He would simply wipe Satan out and get rid of him. Satan accused God of stacking the...

    Why would God create someone he knows will go to hell(please read before responding)

    Well said. Can we imagine that the potentially greatest baseball player who ever lived, never heard of the game of baseball? Or the potentially greatest cellist ever born never picked up a bow? I could imagine that I could unseat Al Pacino as the greatest actor to ever grace the silver...

    Why would God create someone he knows will go to hell(please read before responding)

    My wife and I had this conversation last night. Our reality relative to God and our context is a lot worse than anyone has mentioned so far. 1. We are born in original sin and guilty from birth. 2. We are born with no knowledge and damaged, imprecise reasoning faculties. We cant always...

    Did God talk to me, or am I crazy?

    Hi Natalie Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for being so honest and vulnerable. If it helped you, you can be sure it helped many others as well. I have been on both sides of this. From a strictly human standpoint, your ex may have come to a point of knowing that the...

    Formal Debate: Loudmouth v. Paterfamilia, Human Origins

    I insert these comments simply as a place marker. I knew it would take a bit of time to log my opening statements, and it certainly has. There are specific reasons for my delay, which would be poor form for me to relate in the midst of a formal debate. The whole story will be explored after...

    Prove it or remove it challenge

    One thing I am confident of, you didn't watch this or any of the videos. Talk about embarrassing. "destroyed the Kalam" you said. Not so much. And then you call me a jerk. You guys seem to mostly be graduated from Madelines school of debate. Except for hogshead and maybe sfs. You guys...

    Your burden of proof is with regard to your statements about WLC's arguments. Please pick one and proceed with your refutation or withdraw the comment.

    Prove it or remove it challenge

    Start right after you demonstrate your mastery over the arguments of William Lane Craig, and right after you admit that I correctly quoted Sam Harris.

    Prove it or remove it challenge

    And you think you are exempt? Saying "Sam Harris would probably put that in the past tense" is a ridiculous statement from every perspective. You have no idea what Sam Harris thinks, and he definitely wouldn't say that after the butt-kicking he got in the debate. About minute 27 or 28 are...

    You'd have to define "refuted". According to you the entire bulk of Christendom has been refuted. You stated earlier that WLC has been refuted at every point. That is simply not true. (We're you lying? Ha ha) WLC, according to Sam Harris, is the "one Christian apologist who seems to strike...

    Dude you don't know much about Dr Dino apparently. Lying on video is the least of his problems - try the ten years in jail for tax resistance. We all have our problem children.

    It's William Lane Craig. But you were close. Watch his debate with Sam Harris if you get a chance. He (Sam) talks at the beginning about all the emails he got from colleagues prior to the debate begging him "please brother, don't blow this" ha ha. WLC is the most feared debater out there...
