    Question about eternal damnation

    Imagine a brutal dictator. He rules for decades without remorse. He dies peacefully in his palace, surrounded by his family and loyal henchmen, having never paid for his crimes. If he simply no longer exists, where's the justice in that? I suppose one might think it would be better if he...

    Creationists: Explain how life was created.

    The obvious answer is that God willed it. The question is clearly not an innocent one; you're asking for a scientific explanation for something that has no scientific explanation. If no one provides an answer that satisfies your sensibilities, then you (supposedly) win. It's a lot like the...

    Erie bishop models what a real apology to victims looks like

    Amen. Thank you for posting this. One of Christianity's biggest problems, IMO, is that we can't handle the hardline Jesus. We enjoy verses like Matthew 18:2-5: He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like...

    All four of your tracks sound great! I think you could make a living composing movie and video game soundtracks/scores.

    This song is about remembering what Christmas is really about in the midst of the commercial and secular holiday season. It's called "Let Us Celebrate!": Let Us Celebrate!

    This is a version of "Silent Night" I did back in 2000 on a Tascam 424 4-track cassette recorder. The recording is far from perfect (you'll notice that I could have used a good pop filter for the vocals!), but I like the overall sound and feel of it so much that I decided not to do a new...

    What about those who haven’t heard?

    I'd like to thank those who have referenced Romans 2 in this thread. I strongly believe that those who fervently seek answers to questions regarding the Christian faith will find them in the Bible. But here's the catch - we bring our own sensibilities into it. So, often it's not whether or not...

    Terry Crews sexual assault....double standard with male harassment

    In Crews' own words: “’240 lbs. Black Man stomps out Hollywood Honcho’ would be the headline the next day," Crews shared, adding that he wouldn’t have been able to read it because he “would have been in jail.” If Crews retaliated physically, he would have been arrested. If he complained to the...

    Creationists: What Was Wrong With The Dover Trial?

    If you think about it, the creationist/ID side in the Dover trial never stood a chance. The prevailing view in science is that there's nothing beyond the physical universe, so anything that does not conform to that worldview is automatically considered non-valid, or worse, nonsense. I suspect...

    Noah's Ark Would Have Broken in Half

    Good point. Jesus references the Old Testament quite often. Would he do so if it wasn't history?

    Noah's Ark Would Have Broken in Half

    But doesn't the scientific method often lead to erroneous conclusions about the physical material universe? And aren't scientific discoveries usually vigorously debated? Scientists don't always come to absolute agreement. So how does the scientific method guarantee "truth"?

    Creationists: What Was Wrong With The Dover Trial?

    Many prominent scientists posit the unseen, unobserved multiverse, parallel universes, panspermia, spontaneous generation, etc. as explanations for the nature of our universe and life on earth, and it's considered to be sober, reasonable science. Other scientists go by what's actually...

    Creationists: What Was Wrong With The Dover Trial?

    Oh, I understand that. I just happen to believe that, while there can't be empirical evidence or proof of creation, there is still compelling evidence of it, some of which I listed in my previous post. In the same vein, there's no empirical evidence or proof of the Resurrection, but the...

    Creationists: What Was Wrong With The Dover Trial?

    Well... There's the fact that the universe had a beginning, when the prevailing scientific model for centuries was an eternal universe. There's the fact that the universe has an impressive array of precise, fine-tuned properties that are predicted by belief in an omnipotent, omniscient and...

    "JOY!" - original song

    There's doesn't seem to be any activity in the "Post your music" thread, so I thought I'd try posting here. JOY! Here's a song titled "JOY!" that I wrote and produced. I guess you'd call it R&B Gospel, or maybe urban gospel; I get confused by so many sub-genres! It's my own home studio...

    Post your music

    I was able to listen to a few of your songs. What really struck me was the sonic difference between (just for example) "Lift Your Voice" and "Beautiful." "Beautiful" sounds great, and definitely sounds more like a commercial production, but I still like the raw feel of "Lift Your Voice." I...
