    How could the Messiah be sinless?

    janc, You are reading a different Bible to mine. Read what Jesus said about His own pre-existence (John 3:13; 6:33, 38, 62; 8:23; 16:28). Isn't it amazing that Christ existed before Abraham's birth (John 8:58–59)? However, Abraham’s birth preceded Jesus’ own birth by centuries! The NT...

    Torres Strait is close to Equator and steamy conditions (like Darwin). Barrier Reef and Whitsunday Islands are less steamy in summer, but still hot. Beautiful to be there in middle of winter. See: https://www.travelonline.com/great-barrier-reef/reef-islands.html

    The need to test everything is clearly seen in the results from ...

    Jay, That is a very unkind retort. Much of my Christian life and ministry has been spent in discerning false teaching from the truth of Scripture. Within the Pentecostal false teachings there are many sound teachings. However, when the wheat is mixed with the chaff, we have to be as wise as...

    Skepticism

    Hi OzSpen- I would say: Isiah 45: [7] I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Taken, You have quoted a bad translation of Isa 45:7 (KJV): 'I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all...

    Skepticism

    Taken, This is the kind of response that, in my experience, has turned many away from the faith because it doesn't answer burning questions. How would your rejoinder provide an adequate response to this teaching? My conundrum today is this:- If there is nothing outside of God, why did...

    Atheist objections to evidence for God's existence

    brian100, I don't believe you are reading the Bible carefully. The Bible teaches God is omnipresent (Prov 15:3; 1 Kings 8:27; Jer 23:23-24; Matt 18:20; Ps 139:7-12). He is everywhere all the time and that means he will be present forever in hell as the Judge. Proverbs 15:3 (NIV) states: 'The...

    Skepticism

    historyb, This is carefully documented in a book I'm currently reading by Michael Youssef, Saving Christianity? He documents how this happened throughout the history of OT Israel and into the Christian era. I'm only half way through the book but find it to be a profound assessment, with some...

    Atheist objections to evidence for God's existence

    Take a read of Matt 10:28. It provides an answer.

    Skepticism

    Josh, From my understanding, the doubts come when questions about Jesus, God & the Bible are not answered satisfactorily. Too many cliches. Oz

    Does Charles Darwin approve of “Answers in Genesis”?

    theophilus, Since Charles Darwin is not alive today, the question, "What is Charles Darwin’s opinion of Answers in Genesis?" cannot be answered. Perhaps a better question would be: 'In the light of what Darwin taught in Origin of the Species (1859) and his other writings, what would be his view...

    Are you Rapture (Catching Up) Ready?? Beware!!

    Buddhist, Rohingya and Christian lives matter

    Today On Line Opinion, an Australian secular e-journal, published another of my articles, Buddhist, Rohingya and Christian lives matter. Some of you as Christians may wonder why I've included Buddhist and Rohingya Muslims along with Christians. It's for balanced journalism. Several minority...
