The whole story is a bit odd. There is a video of him tied-up, laughing and cooking crack. Some people say he was just doing it to play along and save himself. But if that were true, he would have gave up his crypto phrase words.

There's more that we don't know about heaven than we do know about it. I remember one testimony of someone who went to heaven. He said he didn't know what the people did, but it was just a very creative, productive environment. I think our nature will be changed, so what gave us joy on earth may...

I consider myself to be analytical and prone to anxiety as well (overthinking tends to do that). I have opined before about how much of a curse ignorance is and how we are all living in a state of ignorance to some degree (some more than others). All we see is this little slice of reality. I...

It seems to me that deflecting this type of criticism is also used as a shield to hide behind. Since when did descent get defined by racial purity? Descent is defined by lineage. If someone is a descendant of Abraham, regardless of their ethnicity, they are still Abraham's descendants. As...

I've seen this brought up a lot in my internet travels: that the Jews are not really the Jews, so that makes it okay to hate them. So, let's get into it. The Khazarian Theory postulates that a significant portion of European Jews, particularly Ashkenazi Jews, are descended from the Khazars. The...

I would say yes. The Bible says to train up a child in the way they should go (Proverbs 22:6). If you don't teach them your values, then someone else will. Parenthood is a sort of benign dictatorship. Whether they want to go or not is irrelevant. Children often don't want to do a lot of things...

What did I attribute to you things you didn't say? I'm not even sure what your argument is anymore. You're all over the place.

That is an argument from silence, isn't it? We can't go on what we don't know, only what we know. Anything else is speculative and can lead to erroneous conclusions. I'm not sure if your issue is with Mary being sinless or not or Sola scripture, but they're two separate issues. Communion, or...

Where do you find that in scripture? Not all, and certainly not before the 3rd century.

I don't think it's a contradiction for God to show different aspects of His character. When parents disciplines their children, do they not still love them? In fact, one could say that parents discipline their children because they love them. If they didn't love them at all, they wouldn't pay...

Covid was real, but the numbers were always inflated. I documented this when it happened so that it wouldn't be forgotten: 1) Five governors knowingly sent Covid patients into nursing homes, affecting the most vulnerable demographic. 2) Those who died because of Covid were lumped together with...

Does He? God also forgives when asked, but if there is no repentance, there is no forgiveness. And as a supreme judge, He reserves the right to hold people accountable. Comparably, He is far more lenient than our own judicial system. If you commit a crime here, you might be sorry and repent, but...

Eternal separation from God. The redeemed automatically go to heaven; the unredeemed go to hell, where they await their final judgment. Eventually, they will be thrown into the Lake of Fire, where they will have to eternally atone for their sins. No, I don't believe scripture indicates this...

What are the odds another "rare" event will happen in the near future?

Tell that to Hitler.

I think there are valid criticisms of churches becoming too flashy and seeker-friendly. At the same time, I feel some people expect churches to be perfect. They get easily offended by something the pastor says or by someone else at the church. Church is made up of imperfect people. Things are...

No, otherwise, it wouldn't be faith. No. Yes, but then, I would consider apologetics to be a doctrine. I can't say that it has. I'm not sure how it could. I don't think Christianity has ever claimed to have ALL the answers to every single question. We have some answers, especially to...

Well, there's also the matter of free will. Could God stop every one from doing evil or making a bad decision before they did it? Sure, but then that's not free will, we would just be puppets with strings. God could also restore everything instantly but then nothing would have been learned. I...

There's a WW2 skit where one Nazi soldier notices all the skull badges on his uniform and asks the other Nazi soldier, "Are we the baddies?" I feel that is where we are at. There is a total disconnect with reality with people like this professor. They have this distorted view that justifies this...

What can possibly go wrong? Everything. The sheer lunacy of the UK government is astounding. This is the irrational decision making of a society on the verge of collapse.
