Jericho, Thanks for posting the article. Obviously, I disagree. First, 1 John defines "the antichrist" very clearly in this context. John writes, “Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.” (1 John 2:22, ESV)...

It seems you watched the video with the same attentiveness you have when you read my posts. Ha! First, his "irrefutable proof" had nothing to do with creation science or the quotes of creation scientists. Second, he wasn't referring to not merely the "evolutionist" but evolutionist who is a...

I'd say this is true sometimes. But statistically, those from mainline denominations (which tend to be more "progressive" in their views) are more rapidly leaving the faith than those from evangelically-based backgrounds. I don't know we can blame parents for being to "strict" for kids leaving...

You are so funny River. If he had quoted an evolutionist, he would have been misusing his quote or trying to take his views in a way he didn't intend them. Who is left to quote? You will never be satisfied. Obviously you didn't watch the whole video if you thought the first 20 min contained...

Well I disagree. The everlasting covenant is the one established by Christ's blood and the one that was intended from "before the foundations of the world." The first covenant was merely a type and shadow of the covenant established by Christ. Hebrews makes it clear that the first covenant...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvRy6AjeyLc I thought this was interesting for those engaged or reading in on this discussion.

Yes, I agree that not every word in the OT refers to Jesus. However, my point is that God's entire function in using Israel was ultimately to point people to Jesus and to foreshadow the coming of the Savior. Your hermeneutics essentially says that some stuff was about Jesus, but some future...

I think you are guilty of the very thing you claim about creationists. Because there is a lack of scientific understanding on an issue of how the cell processes the complex information systems of DNA, etc, you want to argue that a non-quantifiable answer is proof that you are right. It simply...

Higher education is a mixed bag, both at Christian colleges and secular universities. It is wise for parents to be concerned about their children and their education. No parent should mindlessly ship their child to any educational institution without a good deal of consideration both about...

Yes I'm sure its convenient to you if you can create the rules for the discussion as we go. Lets be honest here. You are arguing that my claims are false because I am not defining "complexity" according to your standards, whereas on the other hand, you want to claim that Darwinian evolution...

This is just simply untrue. You are taking me out of context and are ignoring major points of this lengthy conversation. For the record, I'll post quotes from me at the earliest stages of this discussion. This was my very first post on this topic. Here I clearly point to the type of...

Well Trekson I would strongly disagree. Lets take a look at Matthew's quotation from Hosea 11:1: Is this passage talking about Jesus or a future Messiah? Absolutely not. It is talking about Israel and how God delivered them from slavery in Egypt because of His love. There is nothing here in...

I clarified this point multiple times. I cannot help you if you cannot remember the things I wrote. My point was regarding information specific programming in the DNA that produced new complex features in an organism (i.e. wings, gills, eyes, fins, etc.). We can all scratch our heads about...

You and I both know what "information" is and that DNA carries information that is turned into mRNA which is used by the ribosome to create proteins, etc. The reason you are trying to define DNA "information" is because your assumption that because the four nucleotide bases are the same in the...

Sure Trekson, Here are three examples (I can provide many more if you would like me to). NT writers almost always take OT texts that pointed to Israel or events in Israel's history as being types and shadows to help people see God's work in Christ. I encourage you to look up the OT texts...

Yeah, well that's funny because I read and know molecular biologists who would say that your viewpoint is silly. No one is moving the goalposts. I responded to your questions, but you seem negligent in your ability to read or remember them. I know that cells have complex coding processes in...

Yep, there is all sorts of proof out there. Bacteria, that have always been able to change, adapt, and transfer DNA, producing other bacteria and lizards with bigger jaws gives us all the evidence we need that a cow gave birth to another cow with a blowhole so it could swim around in the water...

Trekson, The only problem is that the NT does not interpret the OT that way. We should follow the way the inspired writers interpreted the OT in my opinion.

Hey Enquirer, Thanks for your response. Here are my thoughts on your points you presented: 10) Most would argue that Daniel is referring to Antiochus Ephiphanes IV in that prophecy. If there is an ongoing fulfillment of that passage, it is based purely on speculation. Its just as possible...

Thanks for the response Trekson. Yes, I believe that denying Jesus is the Christ is the same as opposing him. Those who are not for him are against (anti) him. However, this is not the same as false Christ's as many propose antichrist to mean. Its possible John is getting some of his ideas...
