If God’s character/identity consisted only of perfect love, then proposition 1 may be seen as true. But God’s identity is not restricted to love. His identity is also one that includes omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, holiness, etc. Holiness is the characteristic that I focus on as being...

I'm not a writer except for term papers and reports I did for college (Moody Bible Inst.) but as a point of interest, I am involved in Remember Nhu. I minister to a house parent in Myanmar who currently houses 6 young boys and who is also a pastor in his village. God bless your work.

Do you interpret every meow that your cat utters as information to you that she is hungry?

No, you did not answer my question, you restated the OP. I asked if the 5 presuppositions that you referenced applied to yourself as well as others when seeking truth. The purpose of my questions is to determine if your are holding me to the same standards of determining truth as held by...

It appears to me that truth and it apprehension is the topic. So, do your five presuppositions apply to you as well as others, and how do you determine what is true?

Your argument seems to focus on truth and whether it can be known. Are the five presuppositions that you give applicable to you as well and how you determine truth?

Are you stating that truth is unknowable?

When I first read this response, it looked reasonable on the surface but I decided to do some research on the apparent claim that other religions also contain healing at the behest of their god, being filled with the spirit of their god/s (which is God Himself (monotheistic) according to...

According to Holman, the correction to Jesus’ companion was not to suppress self-defense but to warn His followers that God’s work is not to be moved forward by use of force (Wilkins 166). If one uses force as a method of establishing a specific ideology or government, then force will be used...

That’s interesting. I don’t think that you have the attention of James Trefil who says that galaxies shouldn’t be “‘out there at all, and even if there are galaxies, they shouldn’t be grouped together the way they are’ The problem of explaining the existence of galaxies has proved to be one of...

Exactly right, Albion. Jane; Christ offered the original separation phrase (cf Matthew 22.21) of church and state. To give to the state what is owed it and then expect the state to act as a Christian agent in giving what is God’s to Him, is what you have suggested. Each individual is called to...

I don’t think that exceptions is what is taking place in Mark. The Jews did suggest exceptions could be in place but according to the Bible Background Commentary, the exceptions were rare. That aside, the point is made clear in Romans 3 and specifically, verses 25-26. Paul says that through...

There is a program called Freedom in Christ that was developed by Dr. Neil T. Anderson that specifically addresses your demon concerns. The books that can be found at the link I gave detail methods that are used by Satan and his demons to enter doors that we have opened. Whether or not you are...

I don’t think that we need to enter into an argument over authorship here. I picked just two books from my library and both of them attribute the authorship of Colossians to Paul (NIV 1811, O’Neal 1867). Concerning the type of literature that Chapter 1:15-20 are, the same two books list the...

If there is chicanery involved, then the blood could have been from another source, we’ve plowed this field already. It is the parents who are providing this evidence and not the groom or the daughter. In my estimation, logic points to Vasholz’ theory and I would put more weight on his...

The ESV uses the word “cloak” to be produced and would parallel the contention that a marked garment had some significance in determining whether or not the girl was a virgin. This would fall in line with Vasholz’ interpretation that the garment was the signifier of virginity and that the...

2 Sam 13:18 simply states that the particular robe mentioned was how the King’s daughters dressed but the language does not preclude other virgins in Israel from practicing the same tradition. Nor does the language restrict other virgins in Israel from practicing the tradition of wearing a...

Sure. The Christian is called to be effective in presenting the Good News to those who don’t believe in or trust Christ as presented in the Gospel narratives. To reject the opportunity to express the Gospel to those who believe and practice something other than orthodox Christianity is...

The reference to the robe as special is taken from 2 Sam 13:18 and Psalm 45:14-15. These are the verses that Vasholz (D. Th. From the University of Stellenbosch and Chairman of the Old Testament Department at Covenant Theological Seminary) uses for his support and he also mentions that the...

While you are contemplating my series of questions, I have something for consideration. I am assuming that the scripture that you are referring to is Deut 22:13-21. The evidence that is offered as verification of the girl’s virginity is a “cloak” (ESV) and not the bedsheets from the wedding...
