@Riven I’d like to ask you a question about your little brother, and another about your family. Don’t feel obligated to answer them. Feel free to treat them as rhetorical questions. Was your little brother baptized? What was / is your family’s attitude concerning infant baptism?

”Does anyone know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?” There it is, hauntingly expressed in the lyrics of a pop song @Riven. That’s what the 10-year-old you wrestled with, couldn’t find a satisfying answer for, and the adults were unable to help you navigate...

Why do I think this? You’re intelligent and intellectually honest @Riven. There is evidence for the existence of God - something which atheism denies - and when you are determined to follow the evidence wherever it leads you’re almost certainly going to wind up where Flew did on the question...

We’ve just passed the half way point of 2025 and I’m already thinking ahead about which Bible reading plan I might use in 2026. I begin using my plan on January 1 every year. I don’t recall ever having met someone who begins using their plan on July 5 every year but maybe one of these days I...

* That’s an amazing story. Hats off to the sea lion. What about Kevin? What did he later become? *

If the Gospel of Barnabas is reliable, the Quranic Dilemma is no dilemma at all. Are you properly equipped to counter the Islamic argument?

Have you read the Gospel of Barnabas? You better if you’re going to speak with a Muslim. Sooner or later he or she will confront you with it, offering it as proof “from the pen of Barnabas” - “You do know who Barnabas is, don’t you?” - that Jesus did not die on the cross.

Find the strongest argument you can against your position. This is a lesson I learned well from playing Chess semi-professionally in the days of my youth. Determine, as best as you can, the strengths and weaknesses of an action you’re considering taking. The action we’re considering taking is...

For the Quranic Dilemma argument to have any chance of being successful, a basic knowledge of what is written in the Quran is necessary. If what is written in the Quran was unknown, the argument itself never would have come into existence. Read widely. Read deeply. Read thoughtfully. Read...

Did Paul, a Jew, know what was written by pagan philosophers?

I always get around to asking non-Christians what their hope is. When I first asked @Riven what his hope is, he didn’t give me the answer that he gave in post #25. The poignant answer he’s given now is a great place for him to start. Is it a hope that can be realized? What is the Bible’s answer...

I think you‘ll find Flew’s book persuasive. If you do, that’s going to move you from agnostic to theist - but not necessarily from agnostic to Christian. That will be a reset for you, taking you back to those days when you didn’t get an answer to your questions and didn’t feel like you were...
