    An Alternative Approach to Dreams and Visions

    In the Bible, every mentioned dream comes directly from God (or other higher forces). Psychologist Andy Thomson provides another explanation: the brain makes them itself. I'm sure this explanation makes great sense. Bible makes great sense also. In my opinion, you are left with two perfect...

    So Many Extinct Species? Wouldn't Call It Design Failure.

    During the flood many animals died. But an artist has the right to withdraw some of the arts he made. Bible teaches that human dead bodies will be called back to life by God, see John 5:28. This might happen to animals, too I think. I mean it's not recorded in the Bible that this is going to...

    There Are a Thousand Gods. Is It Impossible To Make Choices?

    According to Dr Michael Shermer, there are a thousand gods around*. And many more non-theistic religions. Here is an overview of the important ones: BBC - Religion: Religions Atheists commonly say that it makes no sense to believe that one religion has it right and all the others fail in some...

    According to Dr Michael Shermer, There Is No God

    In a popular youtube video by Dr Shermer, the title said "No God". This speech was recorded in one of the most prestigious universities of this world - Oxford. I don't agree with Dr Shermer. I'm certain there is a God (the Christian one). Let's now turn to his line of reasoning, as I...

    Richard Dawkins on God's behavior in the OT

    If you count facebook likes, Dawkins is the most important atheist in the world. Dawkins thinks God is a "vindictive control freak". However, in this video LINK (see minute 1:14:16), Dawkins discusses rape in Judges 19 concluding "[the story] surely tells us something about the status of women...

    Is Loving Jesus Back Required For Salvation?

    No. This is at least my stance. All you have to do is believe and proclaim Jesus as Lord. See Romans 10:9-10. Recently an atheist wrote "Jesus is at the door, knock knock, let me in. Why? So I can save you. From what? From what Im going to do to you if you don't let me in." Letting Jesus in is...

    Is Free Will Limited to Here and Now?

    Atheists sometimes ask why there is apparently no free will after death concerning the question where to spend eternity. When people end up in hell (hades/sheol) why can't they have free will to exit it, some ask. Other people argue that, if they repented after death, why can't they return to...

    God Created a Hell. Is It Horribly Unfair?

    I recently read complaints about hell in another thread. Creating hell was evil and so on ... according to the author of such claims. That's why I responded here, it would have been off topic there. My answer to this question, no it's not horribly unfair. You need the seperation aspect. When...

    Mosque Closure in Austria - and the Right to Religious Freedom

    (I hope it's the right section, here...) Last time, my conversation partner from the Muslim side complained about mosque closures in Austria two years ago. (I'm citing the New York Times, here) The mosques are closed due to Turkish president Erdogan being the head of it. At the same time...

    Is Media Coverage about Persecuted Christians Flawed?

    In a discussion I had recently, a Non-Christian said that the persecution of Christians exists, but I should not believe everything the media tell on that matter. Before I categorize everything I read as half-truth... where are these fake news about persecuted Christians then? Does anybody know...

    Christians making a hell on earth for other people? Is that possible?

    Yes, it is. Well - at least they can be part of a community that does so, I think. See Nazi Germany, for instance. To my knowledge, many Christians voted for Hitler making a hell on earth for Jews. Christians collaborated in the Wehrmacht attacking other countries and helped German economy be...

    Is God Entitled to Take Lives?

    In another thread an atheist poster had doubts on this. For me, the answer is clear: God made lives, he can take them, too. Even if it's the lives of entire peoples. God shouldn't be restricted to keep the same laws that humans (should) keep, I think. Last time this topic came up, there was a...

    Sources Playing Down Climate Change

    This video was quoted by a Christian debating climate, here on CF. It mentions a source from 1922 saying it was extremely warm at the Arctic [minute 2:00] ... warning that sea levels could dramatically rise. Let's assume this source is right... it does not disprove any anthropogenic climate...

    If theistic evolution, how can God save a raven?

    Hi everyone, I don't believe theistic evolution is true and I'd like to challenge believers from the evolutionist side again: The ToE is about survival of the fittest. If animals can't find food, they simply die. The ones best adapted to their environment survive. According to that theory, if I...

    If Theistic Evolution, how long did day 7 last?

    Hi everyone, (since I can't answer posts in the section where non-believers are allowed to post)... a little challenge to everyone believing in the so-called theistic evolution, which I believe is untrue. Ok? So if day 1 to day 6 is said to have lasted many millions of years each, how long is...

    Hi I'm Thomas

    Hi everyone, I used to post on Worthychristianforums.com, but they changed the rules. Atheists can no longer post in the main sections there. When they want to say something they need to go to an area which is not viewable to the public. I respect their rules. It's a great board by the way. I...
