Vote for my Rock band Handsome Pete to move onto the finals of a local battle of the bands. Not sure if promoting your music is allowed, but if it isn't I do apologize and obviously have noissue if it's deleted. https://poll.fbapp.io/2016-homegrown-throwdown-wildcard-voting?from=admin_wall

I was wondering what you all here think of this idea. For all those familiar with epistemology, a properly basic belief is one which does not need justification from another belief or proposition. Further, all other beliefs are justified by this basic belief. An example of a basic belief would...

Free will is a topic so frequent in these forums, which is obvious once you do a simple search under said term on this website. Yet it hasn't been throroughly discussed, or rather debated, here in this forum. It would be interesting to explore the idea of free will with someone, specifically...

I would like to debate this topic. Many Christians oppose Homosexuality in an array of instances. For one people don't think they should be allowed to marry, or they think the sexuel preference is a sin itself. If you take up this belief and generally answer "yes" to the main topic of the debate...

Creationism conference at Michigan State ties Hitler policies to evolution, sparks faculty ire | MLive.com This happened today at MSU's campus, just 10 minutes east of my house and while I was partying with my 3 yr old daughter on her bday instead of attending, I just wanted to share the...

Is lying ever moral, or is it always immoral? I'll share what I think later in the thread but I was curious what other people thought here. Pretty straight forward.

According to The doctrine of The Fall humans became corrupt and with sin from the moment A&E disobeyed God. As a result of the first sin do we sin. And according to TE, which I do advocate btw, claims they do not reject said doctrine. Though, an evolutionary concept, referred to as Lizardbrain...

The title asks it all. If we answer yes, that almost seems to strip away the very implications of Creator. If we answer no, then God has no libertarian free will to do otherwise. I would be more comfortable maintaining the second idea, that God has no libertarian free will as that does not mean...

I don't know why but this is something I haven't really pondered till recently. This may be better suited for the paterology, etc, etc thread but the concept of "creation" is very relevant as well, so I'm not sure. We Christians affirm the Trinity which I believe we all know what that means. So...

Upon discussing creation and other topics related to creation, I am genuinely curious of something. How should we Christians understand the universe? We say God created the universe, but what exactly does that mean? The poll is straightforward, but if anyone wants to comment further on their...

One of the biggest issues I notice that people of faith and non faith have is that of free will and divine omniscience. The argument, as far as I can tell, goes something like this: "If God is omniscient, that is, all - knowing which is to include all events of past, present, and future...

There has been much perplexity over what a true Christian may be. It also has been said that to claim one is not a true Christian on account of action or disbelief is fallacious and should not be succeeded. In other words, that the No True Scotsman fallacy applies to religion. The fallacy of the...

This is something I was thinking about last night and decided to bring it up here for two reasons. The first is because I feel like it gives thought to an attribute of God that receives the least amount of attention -- omnipresence. The second because I feel like this hasn't been considered by...

As frank as it gets this is for those who believe god is the origin of sin and evil and how this belief is misleading and makes god's nature out to be a sham. This view should be unequivocally discredited by any and every Christian as the reaction. To say that god created sin is to...

I would suppose this is mainly for those who accept the foreknowledge of God as accurate. Though the doctrine is, I would say, pretty widely rejected among Evangelists and other sects, I believe it is the most consistent with scripture and reasoning, which is why it could obviously be discussed...

If yes, obviously what passages reference free will? If not, then why not or what passage could possibly speak against the doctrine of free will?

The question I'm about to bring up was asked of me in another thread after I had made the comment that Adam and Eve were not ignorant of good but rather comprehended good. My main reasoning for this should be quite apparent and acceptable to the believer. God is good as His creation inherently...

With atemporal having the definition of timeless, that is, not affected by time as we know it. God is eternal (Deuteronomy 33:27; Isiah 57:15), as these passages make it very clear. Eternity in relation to God's existence, I believe, means that He has no origin and will not cease to exist. So if...

Yecs generally agree that the death of any living creature did not happen before the Fall. Though I must ask what verse in particular shows that animal death did not occur? Usually I am given Genesis 3:14 or 21, yet what do the yecs in favor of using those verses have to say in consideration of...
