    How did you arrive at Christianity?

    Thanks for that site, it has plenty of material what I appreciate most is that the video's generally are short and to the point. I'm on Holiday this week so I will make a point of looking through them.

    How did you arrive at Christianity?

    You seem to be adding to your posts after I've replied so let me respond to the extra's you put in. Of course they don't I never said they did. That can happen with multiple posts I think you meant convinced, not so sure your sentence makes any sense. I don't believe scripture represents...

    How did you arrive at Christianity?

    Oh I see, No that wasn't my aim at all, of course the writer didn't think it was a real tent or that a god actually struggled stretching the heavens out like throwing a tent over the earth.. Rather I was making the point that they took a very earth centric view of the heavens. To say that god...

    I would agree. I would never use it as a science book, though i never said we should.

    How did you arrive at Christianity?

    I'm not expecting anyone to change their mind, people rarely do. And of course I expect people to do a little research.

    As someone who's been around a longer time than yourself Silmarien, I can confirm you will continue fighting your way around the meaning of the universe (images of old Monty Python and Red Dwarf episodes suddenly appeared in my head). Isn't it odd that minds work so differently, I see...

    So greater faith = points ? We could have even greater faith if he showed one tiny bit of evidence he actually existed. All you seem to have done is provided evidence that man created your god. Where ? Where ? Of course people believed he was resurrected (they still do) but that does not make...

    How did you arrive at Christianity?

    Of course not, and don't be overly worried I was eating jelly babies at the time. It was a tongue in cheek example of the ease at which people can pluck a particular unfalsifiable god out of a hat. A supernatural first causer of course does not have to bear any reality we constrain it to, or be...

    Gospel: Fisher of Men = Promise of money?

    See, I don't see that in that passage, unclean animals would not have been considered food by Peter. So far as i can tell the lesson was clear that Peter was not to reject the gentiles as unclean, because god had declared them clean, and so starting Peter's ministry to the gentiles. I don't...

    And hopefully confuse ourselves so much that time out with tea and strawberry cream scones are the only answer.

    How did you arrive at Christianity?

    No, it says it is stretched every day, which we know is utter nonsense, you added the word expanding, read it again. Psalm 104 parallels the order of creation in Genesis one. The first verse and the first part of the second verse describe day one. Verses 2b-4 describes day two, and verses 5-9...

    How did you arrive at Christianity?

    Hi Dirk I certainly had what I would call experiences, some things like the healing example I gave above and more I have no explanation for, I felt loved by god, filled with the spirit, I was very sacrificial and felt very blessed I didn't have a care in the world, I didn't really give a...

    How did you arrive at Christianity?

    Excellent, then name some from credible scientific sources. Yes you keep saying that, yet fail to provide reasonable logical statements How could you possibly know that ? I keep asking what evidence, care to share ? No it's not a fallacy to say you don't sound like any scientist I know...

    How did you arrive at Christianity?

    That seems a sensible way to go about things, though i would add a couple of cautionary notes. That the qualifications of an expert should be taken into account, for instance William Lane Craig is a very accomplished and well respected philosopher, while when it comes to philosophy Richard...
