Vince: "Does God have the ability to decide what is right and wrong? If so, then his judgments are subjective, if not, then he is not god." The concept of "decide" implies deliberation about possible choices in time. That is a crude anthropomorphism because it assumes a need to ponder the...

Vince: "Yes this is objective, but the standard is subjective because god decides what is right and wrong." You don't even understanding the subjective-objective distinction. God is the ground of all Being and therefore God's love and consequent moral requirements are grounded in the nature of...

Vince: "Anyone cane make their own subjective standard for morality. That does not mean that an objective morality exists, which it does not even if a god exists." On the contrary, if God exists as a God of Love and Justice, then conduct consistent with this divine essence is objective because...

Vince: "The last thing is the concept of situational ethics meaning that the same action can be morally good or morally bad depending on the context. For example, lying is generally a morally bad act but in a situation where someone can get hurt if you tell the truth then lying can be a morally...

Richard Dawkins, author of "The God Delusion," speaks for many atheist scientists, when he admits: "The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference." Dr. Kenneth...

Vince, I have been a Teaching Fellow in Logic. I must conclude that you duck my points because you don't understand them. So please respond point by point, beginning with how you imagine you can derive an ought from what is.

Vince, You duck these 4 relevant philosophical or metaethical issues. (1) You can't get an ought out of what is. In other words, if you are not a theist, you have no meaningful answer to the questipn, What makes right actions right? (2) An atheist must explain our sense of right and wrong in...

CoreIssue: "I never said that." But you clearly implied it; and I challenge you to demonstrate otherwise. CoreIssue: "But what you are practicing is not biblical. But it is solidly found in occult." So were Jesus' healing arts, as I have demonstrated--and you, sadly, have no response! I have...

By your logic, Jesus' healings were based on occult practices and the Jews who attributed his so-called miracles to the demonic were justified! Of course, Jesus attributes their charge to blasphemy agsainst the Holy Spirit, the true source of His power and you are gullty of t he same sin...

First, I know of no Pentecostals who practice Yoga. Second, to use your logic, Jesus and Paul were both occultists immersied in cultic practices. Paul laid hands on handkerchiefs owned by the sick who couldn't travel to hear him. When these handkerchiefs were treturned, the sick were healed...

CoreIssue: "Kundalini means false Holy Spirit." You seem to have a cultic mindset. Look the word up: "Kundalini" (in yoga) "latent female energy believed to lie coiled at the base of the spine." Did you put yet another thread on Pentecostalism in a section for non-Christians because you admit...

Vince: "The difference is that science has a mechanism to correct itself. Religion does not. When science was found to be wrong it was corrected by other scientists not religionists." Wrong! You really need to read the relevant posts before mindlessly pontificating. Religion has 3...

Progressive revelation is the key to understanding how Jesus and Paul can oppose the slavery that was tolerated in ancient Israel. (1) In the Sermon on the Mount Jesus offers progressive revelation that at times nullifies Mosaic laws in the Pentateuch. Jesus repeatedly introduces His new...

Vince: "Like I have been saying if god exists then he has been unclear about his existence and motives." He has been clear to those who experience His presence. As Billy Graham once said, "In life theological understanding is the booby prize because it offers just enough spirituality to...

Vince: "I wonder why you ignore my reasons for not believing this on the evidence you provided? Maybe you can address my reasons for not being convinced instead of saying I am dishonest." Because you keep pontificating from ignorance. In genuine revivals, the Holy Spirit falls primarily not on...

Vince: "I am not claiming that this is not evidence. I am saying that it is insufficient evidence. How can I verify these accounts?" Y ou keep ducking my point: I know I'm telling the truth and know and have interviewed those I claim to have interviewed. Your bias can always allow you to...

Yes, neither of the last 3 great revivals were "pastor-led." Lady Crosswalk speaks dogmatically without having bothered to watch the 3 posted videos on the Welsh, Azusa Street, and Hebrides revivals. The Welsh revival was sparked by Evan Roberts, an emotionally unstable new Bible school...

3 points can be inferred from God's initial Self-disclosure to Moses at the Burning Bush: "But Moses said to God: "If I come to the Israelites and say to them, "The God of your ancestors has sent me to you," and they ask me, "What is His name?" what shall I say to them?" God said to Moses: "God...

Let me get his straight: 100 unchurched Welsh unbelievers suddenly and inexplicably feel convicted by their sins and the need to attend unstructured all-night church meetings and all of Wales is set ablaze with revival fires with no advertising and no famous evangelist, and you see no need to...
