"I agree with the quoted part, and I'm glad you said this. It seems common for Christians nowadays to believe in the rapture, the tribulation, and to be futurists and premillennialists, and the primary debate is just the timing of the rapture…"

Divine Hiddenness
20 Replies
I'm interested in getting some different Christian perspectives on the problem of divine hiddenness, because it has a lot of theological implications that can make it (in my opinion) more interesting…Continue

God and Anthropomorphism

Nicholas Wolterstorff has proposed a rule of interpretation that basically says one should take any statement literally unless one has a reason not to. He has used this to defend divine temporality…Continue

In your opinion, what are the toughest apologetic challenges to the Christian faith?
129 Replies
We have been practicing some apologetics in my Bible study, and there has been a request to start dealing with some of the toughest apologetic challenges to the Christian faith. Now, there is of…Continue

Infrequently discussed old earth arguments

Here are a few old earth arguments that are not very often discussed (as far as I have seen).1. Nothing in Scripture precludes the possibility that there were extended periods of time between the…Continue

What is the Creationist consensus?'Justin Mooney replied to Jim Brenneman's discussion 'What was on the Ark? - according to Chapter Six of Genesis'"These posts are starting to get long, so I'm going to try and narrow the focus just a bit, rather than commenting on everything in your last post.
This is a false dilemma. The passage exegesis is not telling us what could have…"
Justin Mooney replied to Jim Brenneman's discussion 'What was on the Ark? - according to Chapter Six of Genesis'"Just to be clear, i don't think anyone here is claiming that no insects survived outside of the ark. I have only been claiming that insects might have been among the living things that boarded the ark, but if this is the case it is obvious that…"
Justin Mooney replied to Jim Brenneman's discussion 'What was on the Ark? - according to Chapter Six of Genesis'"The Bible seems to emphasize the destruction of land-dwelling animals, so I'm not sure if the destruction of sea animals is really implied. Clearly many sea animals were destroyed, but that was not the main objective of the flood as I…"
Justin Mooney replied to Jim Brenneman's discussion 'What was on the Ark? - according to Chapter Six of Genesis'"Regarding insects, the question will be whether or not they can be thought of as having "nostrils." Taking the text as a straightforward narrative does not lead one to expect scientific precision based on modern knowledge. It seems as…"
Justin Mooney replied to Jim Brenneman's discussion 'What was on the Ark? - according to Chapter Six of Genesis'"The air-breathing requirement has always been an interesting one, because it isn't 100% what this includes and excludes. Insects have a unique way of taking in oxygen. Hard to say whether they would count as animals that breathe in the normal…"
Justin Mooney replied to Justin Mooney's discussion 'Divine Hiddenness'"For the sake of keeping track of things... We have several proposed solutions under consideration right now:
The molinist solution: where God knows what any possible person would do in any possible situation, and so he provides whatever…"
Justin Mooney replied to Justin Mooney's discussion 'Divine Hiddenness'"So you would try to show that they do have sufficient evidence for the truth of Christianity (not just God's existence). But this takes us back to the apologetics problem. Either:
1) apologetics seems pointless, since the evidence is already…"
Brian Guiley replied to Justin Mooney's discussion 'Divine Hiddenness'"I suppose I would say, how much more obvious can it be. He inspired scripture by eye witnesses to the events and miracles so described. When communicating truth, you either have to be there (a limited number of people) or you have to…"
Justin Mooney replied to Justin Mooney's discussion 'Divine Hiddenness'"Most of the traditional attributes of God are "under-determinative" in Scripture. That is, Christians traditionally think of God as being omnipotent, omniscience, omnipresent, morally perfect, eternal, a se, necessary, incorporeal,…"
Johnny Wirkkala replied to Justin Mooney's discussion 'Divine Hiddenness'"Are arguments like this similar to the spiritual war that goes on in heavenly places? Isn't Satan called the great accuser? He is trying to cast doubt on God's goodness and worthiness? Just a side thought.

Johnny Wirkkala replied to Justin Mooney's discussion 'Divine Hiddenness'"Is omnipotence part of the Christian doctrine? I know there are plenty of verses that relate to this subject like Luke 12:7 - "Indeed, the very hairs on your head are numbered." or Jeremiah 27:.
I realize that God can do things that we can…"
Johnny Wirkkala replied to Justin Mooney's discussion 'Divine Hiddenness'"The Calvinist approach can seem harsh and cold feeling, and it opens God up to accusations of being unloving and even unjust.

Every moment we do nothing another one is killed and i am sick of doing nothing. Protests don't work, government only respects action.

- I don't think i need to find any passages that oppose freedom of religion because there are no verses that promote freedom of religion. I don't believe Jesus would want freedom of religion because he said He was the only way to the Father. All ohter religions are false and were created by Satan to mislead people. Why would Jesus want us to allow them to continue misleading people? Our duty is to demolish strongholds, not allow them to be built. Jesus preached love of your neighbor, not tolerance of false religions.

- Good, i was worried that i was making you angry. I heard people say " Should let government enforce religion?" and my answer is yes. Some might bring up that Jesus said " Give to Ceaser what is Ceasers, and to God what is God's" and that he means seperation of church and state. I don't think thats what he meant because rulers are supposed to be good and punish evil. Christianity is the only true religion, all ohters of are the devil.

- I'm not advocating forcing people to be Christian, but that we do not allow them to worship their false idols in our land. The goal of Christians is to spread the Gospel, and to demolish false religions. This modern idea of "freedom of religion" isn't biblical. Understand that i am not trying to make you angry, just trying to make you see my point.

- No, Jesus didn't force people to believe in him, but he did call out false teachers. If we allow freedom of religion then we are allowing Satan to mislead more people. You can be a non-christian but you sure as hell ain't gonna build temples to your false idols in my country.
- At 2:07pm on September 15, 2010, Zach Myers said…
- I understand, and i used to believe we could have freedom of religion. You don't want to enforce your religion on ohters, but my question is it wrong to enforce the truth?
- At 9:27pm on September 13, 2010, Zach Myers said…
- Alot of Christians are putting the Constitution above Scripture. They want to keep freedom of religion but to have this you have to believe all religions are just as valid which isn't true. I don't mind having non-believers but i sure as hell won't allow them to build temples to their false gods.
