False. An axiom is a self-affirming principle of reality. In trying to refute something that is axiomatic, you demonstrate its validity. It is axiomatic that all things that exist are limited. Let me give you an example of a recently asserted axiom. My retired pastor said she does not have to...

Christians are called to reconcile people with God. It is our mission. The Bible puts it this way. Some people do not have eyes to see or ears to hear. You should know religion is not about proof but faith. But that brings up a good question; what proof will you accept? I started a thread...

Calling a rose by a different name smells the same. While there is irrational faith (like looking at my car and still insisting someone stole it), there is also such a thing as irrational skepticism. Hence, the motivation for the book, Atheism on Trial. In my experience, most atheists like to...

Your link says the universe is expanding at 73 kilometers per second. This is faster than light speed?

The Supreme Court ruled atheism is a religion.

You are changing your reference point. This always has to happen whenever one asserts 1 is something other than 1, e.g., Being from person or man to NFL franchise.

The Bible does not say to have faith in the trinity.

I guess our apologist approach does not mesh. Although the title has a question mark, you treat it as a statement that for some reason offense your sensibilities. And although post 102 was a question, it is and I will now put it in that form. Did you notice the question mark in the thread title?

Said in attack mode. It is just as valid to say criticizing the arguments of atheist apologist is where the meat is at. I read a book last year entitled, Atheism on Trial. The author essentially said the arguments for atheism are the same as 2,400 years ago. At the end of the day, the evidence...

What takes imagination is that 3 is 1. It's not simple minded, it's nonsense. Fact is, 1 is 1 and 3 is 3 and 1 <>3.

I don't get your 2 wrongs make a right approach. Worse, it seems that your premise is wrong. It seems like a question that deserves to be answered. (Note the question mark in the thread title).

I'm glad you asked for my reply is prompted by the Holy Spirit. ;) 1st, being an apologist is not an option! We must always be ready to offer a defense of our hope. but exalt Him as Lord in your heart. Always be ready to offer a defense, humbly and respectfully, when someone asks why you live...

Yet, you did not explain them. I don't think there is an easy explanation. The best explanation is context and the Bible being a highly figurative book. Our society interprets things much more literally than the smarter humans of yesteryear. Overall, God may not have regrets but he sure...

Because it is not in older manuscripts. Calling text added Scripture is not right.

That's all you got to say? Repeat a deliberate misinterpretation? How sad. I'll pray for you. 'Your throne, of God' is for ever and ever does not mean the the son is God. Notice how v2 NLT says God (in his wholeness, in his unitarian nature) promised everything to the Son. Notice how v5 says...

OK. This goes to show how desperate you are to rationalize the trinity and the man-is-god thesis. Consider comparisons to these explicit texts: 1C, You Shall Have No gods Before Me. (Singular Pronoun). Most especially, this includes the trinitarian god. The Sh'ma, the most important...

Appeal to Strawman. I said neither the word nor the concept is in the Bible. Why can't you fully agree there simply is no verse that reads something like The nature of God is a trinity - consisting of the Father, Son & Holy Spirit who are co-equal, co-substantial and co-eternal - and if you do...

The trinity is not in the Bible. Sorry you’re seeing the trinity in your corn flakes, clouds and monotheist text. To be clear, when I write that the trinity is not found anywhere in Scripture, I mean that neither the word nor the concept of the trinity is explicitly in the Bible. To avoid the...

Evidence. The person making the positive claim has the burden of evidence in support of the claim. For some reason, you are supposing a claim void of evidence.

Do you realize the KJV translation is wrong at 1 John 5:7-8KJV?
