Alan, It so happens that you have posted in 'a Christian debate forum' in which I have exposed a logical fallacy you use. God is the God of logic - the God of logos. In fact, for us to even have Scripture in written form, God has arranged for it to be written in logical sentences in the...

Junobet, What a brilliant assessment by Terry Eagleton of Dawkins' theological ineptitude. He said it so wistfully. I'm in the midst of debating a rationalist online who thinks he is as bright as Dawkins but his theological ability is as Eagleton has stated, 'This is why they invariably come up...

Alan, You did not address the issues I raised regarding Richard Dawkins. It is he himself who has admitted he is agnostic and no longer an atheist. I am not LYING that Dawkins is an agnostic. He himself has admitted such in his debate with Archbishop Rowan Williams in 2012. It's time you dealt...

Alan, In a free society where there is freedom of speech, Richard Dawkins has as much right as you and I have in promoting his world view. To my dying day, I'll defend his right to promote what he believes. Why? Because it gives me the right to continue to proclaim the Gospel while my country...

Oneoff, The problem with your statement is that it also is a man-made statement of faith - Oneoff's view. It's a self-defeating idea. We can have a view of 'no creed but Christ' but which Christ is he? The Christ of the Arians, (JWs), the Mormons, Jesus Only, Pentecostal Oneness, the Jesus...

Iforrest, This is especially so in light of the critical importance of the resurrection (not the apparition of Jesus' resurrection) in 1 Corinthians 15:12-19 (ESV). I've recommend a read of Norman Geisler's, The Battle for the Resurrection (1992. Wipf & Stock Publishers). When I was examining...

Albert, I've noticed that you've started a number of new topics on CyB lately, but you have started the same topics on another forum as well, 'Worthy Christian Forums'. Is there a reason why you are doing this? If you want to post on both forums, that's your business. Why don't you choose...

Angelina, Of course we are going to run into doubters today. They are evident in contemporary teaching by Bultmann, Jesus Seminar scholars such as Funk, Crossan, Borg & Mack. See William Lane Craig, 'The bodily resurrection of Jesus'. For a contrary view, see Eric Alexander, 'Why I Don’t...

lforrest, I think we need to be more precise, as an example, of how we state Jesus' resurrection. Take these verses: Of these verses, John Dominic Crossan of the Jesus Seminar states: In light of postmodern, liberal historical Jesus' scholars such as Crossan and others, I consider that we...

What an incredible amount of thought is put into such a statement! :lol: :popcorn:

brakelite, If you dealt accurately with textual criticism, you would know that it is the later MSS of the Textus Receptus that have ADDED verses and it is not the earlier MSS that have omitted them. It has nothing to do with Roman Catholic theology. It has everything to do with earlier versus...

brakelite, So are you a supporter of the 1611 KJV, complete with the Apocrypha? How is it that Erasmus could not find a Greek MSS with the last 6 verses of the Book of Revelation for the Textus Receptus (which the KJV translators used) so he translated from the Latin Vulgate to the Greek...

How did you hear about Christ? Where did you obtain all of the information about him and how to obtain salvation? From Josephus or Tacitus???

What on earth does that mean? :rolleyes:

I like Australia's type of democracy better than your primaries to vote in a presidential candidate. We don't vote for the Prime Minister. (PM) We vote for a local member of the House of Representatives and 12 senators for each of 4 states, 4 in Tasmania, 5 in South Australia, and 2 each for the...

mjr, You know that is baloney! We have the option this Saturday to affirm the Coalition as the continuing government or vote in the Labor Party. There could be a hung parliament on occasions. But it is a cock 'n bull story to say that we don't vote governments in and out. We DO! :popcorn: Just...

That's an argument from silence fallacy.

I don't like the policy of compulsory voting because it encourages 'donkey votes' where people show up and don't care about who they vote for. I've been a scrutineer for electoral counting and have seen only a few terrible words written across a voting card, thus making it informal. I do like...

David, Here in Australia we have genuine Christian candidates standing for federal parliament (not Prime Minister) in the federal election for House of Representatives and the Senate that is held next Sat. We don't vote directly for the Prime Minister. The Party that wins power votes in the...

My brother-in-law and sister-in-law are non-Christians and they have been married for 53 years. It is simply not true that non-Christians 'do not love at all'. They have loved each other for more than their years of marriage and have had a very successful marriage for all these years. Don't try...
