It's fairly settled for me in Brisbane. The old man problems. Had an examination of my prostate yesterday through a cystoscopy. No growth found. Another inspection in 6 months. I see that the water levels of the Upper Yarra Dam are at 63.2%...

Absolutely. He's a rugby league player who is unashamed of his witness for Jesus. He now plays for the St Helens Super League club in the UK. He was born in Australia but is of Fijian descent.

Is it faith founded on the facts of history of OT and NT or a leap of faith? For years of my Christian life, parents, youth group leaders and pastors did not equip me for the assault on my faith in university. In Australia, many youth in high school and university are swimming in a sea of...

You desperately need to learn the criteria of historicity so you can verify the authenticity of any historical document, whether the writings of Plato, OT & NT, The New York Times from 50 years ago, and the Brisbane Courier-Mail from a week ago. I'm not holding my breath waiting for you to wake...

BGE, Again you demonstrate you don't have a clue about historical science, historical facts and historical verification. The steps taken in demonstration of historical facts are: Use the criteria of historicity to demonstrate a document is reliable historically. Then go to this reliable...

BGE, This is false epistemology when it comes to investigating historical data. There cannot be any 'implicit empirical basis' when there was no repeatability in the past. Captain James Cook (representing England) sailed up the east coast of what was to become Australia and circumnavigated NZ...

BGE, This demonstrates your ignorance of faith founded on the facts - not of personal experience - but of historical Christianity. A personal encounter with Christ is not based on existential experience. it is founded on the historical Jesus. Subjective experiences hold no more weight that...

Which kind of 'knowledge directly from God' are you referring to? Is it through the Scriptures or through experiential 'God spoke to me' or some other means?

BGE, That's your view. It's not mine. My grand-daughter and her instructor design and practise roller skating prowess that have earned her national titles in Australia for a teenager. Too speak of not using 'design' in this regard is a joke. There is agency in the roller skating design for...

BGE, That's an oxymoron. Empirical evidence is based on observation and repeatability. That did not happen with Jesus Christ and there cannot be an 'implicit empirical basis' as Jesus lived and died once and for all (1 Peter 3:18). How do we know? We apply the same criteria for historical...

No it didn't. Five small paragraphs would have done it. By doing it that way, you would have encouraged people to come back for more of your writings.

Where is your avatar from, Josho? Did you take the photo? What has 2019 been like for you? Oz

What about the spelling of Soverign? :confused:

Who said so? Are you telling us that the design of the universe recognised by NASA scientists is not related to the complexity of the universe? NASA has examined the 'complex molecular universe'.

BGE, Do you know how to turn people OFF reading and responding to your posts? Do what you did here with 5 lengthy posts on your view of epistemology? This is not a forum for Stanford University's degrees in philosophy. Oz

brakelite, What is the evidence Romans 1:18-20 states to demonstrate God's existence? Oz

BGE, There is no need to go into a lengthy explanation of your theory of knowledge - epistemology. Please tell me if you accept historical science and the investigation of the actions of Abraham Lincolcoln (USA), James Cook (Australia), Adolph Hitler (Germany), and the life, death and...

That 'baptism of desire'. Sounds like historyb's fantasy.

However, the Scriptures can be confusing at times: 'Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ' (1 Pet 3:21 NIV).
