    Young Earth Creation evangilism.

    In my area, I talk to many that have left the church. Some state their objections and some are receptive. Is this a fair assessment of your approach? You will tell them that you are YEC. If they have objections, you answer some or attempt to tell them where they can get further information...

    Creationism (doctrine and teaching)

    We probably agree that when Jesus was resurrected, He was raised to a glorified body. Was it a spiritual body or His physical body? Is it your take that the material world is evil and the spiritual world is perfected?

    Young Earth Creation evangilism.

    The text conveys the same interpretation. I did mention the geneaologies in my response to your post. I am specifically referring to the chronologies in Genesis 5 and 11. In the Masoretic text, from which we get our standard English translations, it works out to right at 2000 years from Adam to...

    What Is The Age Of Accountability?

    I am not sure their is a certain age. The Jewish Bar mitzvah(sp?) is given at 13. The rationale is that this is the age that the boy is able to comprehend the Torah. Catholic confirmation is similar, but I am thinking they want the child to be older. If I remember, there is a disclaimer that...

    Young Earth Creation evangilism.

    We have differences here, but I agree that on a very literal reading this is the only conclusion. I am not looking to start a fight on the genealogies. I am just asking an honest question. How do you address the differences in the ages between the Septuagint, the ECF's and the text that is used...

    Young Earth Creation evangilism.

    You have no need to apologize. It does look like you pay attention in your classes. Are you attending a Christian or secular university? Does it approach geology with a YEC or OEC bias? I would be one of those "most people". Archaeology, anthropology, and paleontology as well. Most of what I...

    Young Earth Creation evangilism.

    Hi Mark, When Adam fell, sin entered the world. God gave Him one law, and Adam broke it. Later, God gave the Law of Moses. Perhaps more important, He wrote a moral law in each of us (Rom. 2:12-16). The Law of Moses shows us our sin. However, we are made imago dei. As such, we have a finite...

    Un-Christian Thugs

    That is absolutely disgusting!! I do not care what side of the union debate anyone is on that is deplorable. The article is dated today. If it happened ANY time with in the last 2 days it just exploits both situations. The speaker had the audacity to state that he was a minister. Intimidate...

    Creationism (doctrine and teaching)

    Deism is the belief that God ceated then, "meh." Theism is that the God of creation is pesonally involved in His creation. Although everyone in this thread has indicated the personal involvement of God thoughout our time and space, God created + Jesus equals theism. As I have indicated though...

    Creationism (doctrine and teaching)

    In the beginning, God... (Genesis 1:1) What is time but a measurement of when something begins until it ends. So, when God spoke into our time and space, time began

    Botching the moral argument

    Just because God instilled a moral law does not mean it was always followed. The systematic massacre of the Native Americans is an instance of rationalization. Manifest Destiny? This ideology is still alive today. American Exceptionalism? The ideology was that God gave the Euros the continent to...

    Botching the moral argument

    As a Christian, you have had the Holy Spirit convict you of you need for Jesus? There are those who reject that call. They rationalize it or reject it to the point that it is baely felt. I am not so sure that everything on the list was normalized. Child sacifice was commonplace in many...

    Young Earth Creation evangilism.

    I affirm the Nicene Creed. I fully acknowledge that God is the eternal, necessary cause for all of creation. God has been intimately involved with His creation from, "In the beginning, God...." (Gen.1:1), through "In the fullness of time God sent His son" (Gal. 4:4), through when He gives us...

    Botching the moral argument

    Yes, it still does. I may not put as many things on the list as I once would, but there are still many things that God put in our heart as a natural law. People know that it is wrong to: kill with no reason (even in a rage, most do not kill) steal from others rape molest children. People...

    Ok I read a few posts and am massively confused.

    DC Talk once put into an intro to a song (it is probably a quote from somewhere) about how Christians profess Him with their mouth but deny Him by their life. This is what an unbelieving world finds unbelievable. When debating about the Gentiles, the conclusion was made and one of the...

    Question about Mary for Pentecostals

    Thank you for your understanding. In my opinion, there is a huge misunderstanding with the position the RCC has placed on Mary (Rosary, immaculate conception, perpetual virginity, assumption). Referring to Mary in this manner can seem to give Mary an eternal position over God. As I said in my...
