After a number of years with the same look, we've decided that it's time for an upgrade! You should see a new look now live on the community here. We spent some time tweaking the design, and that's not to say there will be more tweaks in the future. We tried to come up with a look that is both...

So anyone have an example that's not Modalist? I used the water example for a long time alongside of the company department example, but I do catch the Modalist tinge that some can run away with. CJ, I think as long as things are clearly explained and the analogy is not the centerpiece of your...

River Jordan, I am not here really to question your faith even though some of my following remarks may seem to go down that path. I think, just as you get after some for YEC views (I am old Earth), I see some issues with your interpretations of the first passages of Genesis with the concept of a...

It's time to shut this one down, it's degenerated into more tit-for-tat than anything. Topic closed.

Well, anytime someone places Moses's comment on the table, I always raise a David or Solomon in response. ;) Wormwood, first off, there is a reason you stuck out for being on the team here and post #10 is pretty much the logic in a nutshell. Well said. I agree heartily with what you said there...

Thanks to the OP for the helpful clarification. We're always walking a tightrope in these sorts of threads, so I do appreciate the willingness to rephrase the question a bit. I hope everyone will show snr the respect of debating the ideas rather than descending into unhelpful responses. With...

Take that problem on steroids Mungo and you have Android. ;) It's still my favorite OS to use, but I'm not in love to develop for it quite yet.

Not sure I agree with this blanket statement. While I have sympathy for those who run up against the fundamentalist strand that does often take some frustrating anti-intellectual stances, I think some measure of balance is required. There are a number of very smart people who say things that...

Synergist. Then we would be in agreement. My point was merely that God's foreknowledge would preclude his need to look down through the corridors of time. This can be maintained in both the Arminian and Calvinistic or Reformed worldviews. (I typically include the Lutheran view subsumed as a...

This particular topic seems to be enflaming tensions more than serving any real purpose. Thread closed.

I actually develop for them at my place of work. Unfortunately, as much as I love Android - I have both a Galaxy S3 (phone) and Nook tablet - the OS suffers from being too fragmented in the marketplace. Unlike Windows and iOS/Mac OSX, Android does not have a single release version. Each vendor...

Great topic, and it's one that I have gone back and forth on! I am Synergist in the sense that God works with us in salvation. I am a Monergist in the sense that "For in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’" (Acts 17:28...

I think we must be very careful and even leery to equate any amount of knowledge with maturity/immaturity of sanctification. We are all at different levels, and I believe that Theistic Evolutionists and Young Earth Creationists do err when try and throw one another out of the orthodox Christian...

Thread closed. We have numerous ongoing evolution debate threads ongoing, we just don't need another one.

This is the problem with Young Earth Creationism (YEC) for me, as it becomes an issue of both having cake and eating it, too. Fair enough statement, but the first sentence is a restatement of the same point that leads off every creation posting. The negative suggestion is that theistic...

This is a passage which has figured prominently in my life. This is not to be construed in the sense of a superiority complex, but I do believe it is a very hard passage because we've taken evangelism and turned it into a set of steps to be completed while a passage like this doesn't make it...

Guys, if Christianity could debated into the hearts of everyone to make them believers, it would have been done so already. I am not necessarily against the idea of a believer debating a nonbeliever, but at the end of the day, you're simply going to say that your side won. It's more of a...

Define Creationist because the word means many things to many people. For instance, you become a Creationist at least in the point you become a Christian, otherwise you're an agnostic because whether or not God did it in 7 days or 7-8 billion years, He created. I'm assuming you mean Young...

Then you're thinking of a technocratic way of determining an age that is acceptable to teach this information, so it's perhaps best to Google that and see what the expert consensus would be. Yes, it's biologically acceptable to be attracted to the opposite sex, but that doesn't mean it's also...

In my mind, the greatest torment of hell will be separation from God. However, like CS Lewis, I think hell is a placed locked from the inside. The fallen (demons) are in prison (Jude 6) where they await judgement. Aspen brings up a good point in that we can argue over the literalness of the...
