    According to the theory of evolution, how scientifically inaccurate is this Christian sweatshirt?

    For those of you not up on your pop culture references, King Kong is a giant monkey. However, this jacket’s absurd straw man that only two generations separate me from a different species has led me to another question: According to the scientific theory of evolution, how many generations of...

    Are We Able to Have Our Own Debate Sub-forum?

    Why does OBOB not have a debate forum? Is it possible to have one? Ive heard some of our Orthodox brethren remark that we do not have one, and I think it'd be great for our little corner of CF, what do you think?

    LGBT and progressive Christians, debate

    Homosexuality can not be defended using the Bible, nor can it be said that the Bible is ok with it Leviticus 18:22 says “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.”, and 20:13 says “If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination...

    Republican Debate: Who Were Your Favorites?

    Curious about what the forum thinks of the first Republican debates. Who impressed you? What issues were discussed that peaked your interest in the candidate or got you thinking? I personally did not watch the debates, but I'm interested to hear from those on this forum who did what they thought.

    Discord for Christian creationist.

    We are a community for creationist to discuss and conversate among each other all things relating to creation, its relevant science, and empirical evidences of God. Where we differ from most apologetic / philosophy servers is we have a strong focus on the evidential arguments and aspects, which...

    The Genetic Code

    The genetic code is a literal digital and arbitrary code. The only observed cause capable of producing this is intelligence. We only know of intelligence producing what our very bodies contain. Anyone arguing against design being the best conclusion and reasonable inference is doing it merely...

    Answering Vocab's Malone critique

    ️ May the Christ God bless you! ️ I came across a video of a street apologetic with a protestant background Vocab Malone. He criticizes eastern orthodoxy. But I think his critique is more based on his lack of understanding of our theology and conservatism. Here is what I wrote to him on YouTube...

    You would be hard pressed to win a debate with a madman!

    In the same way that our humanity and experiences color the way we think, our language does also. People think more differently from each other than most of us realize. Lately I've noticed that whole threads are full of people talking past each other because they simply don't think alike...

    A Few Things to Discuss (A Bit Long)

    The SDA Church This is something that I've not been able to understand personally. Why do many people consider SDA to be a cult? I grew up in the church and the beliefs are different, though many people have different beliefs hence why we have so many different denominations. Although I do...

    LDS Alright then, Mormons, let's have it out

    Since there are some of the Mormon religion here who apparently don't understand the difference between being willing to defend one's own faith and running away from it like a dog with their tail between their legs, and since this has led to a great many childlike retorts being mistaken for...

    Antidepressant Debate

    Hi all - I'm not sure if this is the correct location for this, but here it goes. I've gone back and forth on how I feel regarding antidepressant medication. On one side, doctors and their recommendations, etc are Biblical and there are many people who feel that God made us creative and able to...

    What are the best arguments for the existence of God?

    I am very curious what arguments you all find most convincing for the existence of God, especially in the face of arguments individuals such as Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris, or others bring up when contending with God's existence in the exchange of ideas. If you could share it would mean a...

    What reasoning allows for the transition from Deism to Theism?

    The debate about God's existence is a common one. However, one issue which is rarely, if ever, discussed with enough focus, is the question of what arguments can be used to show how the belief that there was a first creator, an intelligent designer of the universe, can be reasonably translated...

    "Philosophically speaking, is the Trinity considered polytheism?"

    It's been long said that the Trinity is a mystery in which can never be known. That may be true but I firmly believe that the Holy Spirit can bring revelation at any moment in time because our God is a living God, not a dead one!!!! For The Spirit is always at work. Hints and pieces of the...

    When is personal criticism not an Ad Hominem Fallacy during debate?

    For some reason or other, it seems the Ad Hominem "complaint" is dragged out quite often and applied to Christians who make character judgements about their interlocutors during debate. Because the identification of an ad hominem seems to have become a hobby for various atheists, I thought it'd...

    What do you guys think about Yoga? Is it truly Satanic or is it harmless?

    I've joined a Yoga class to get my health credit for school. I need the credit to graduate HS. I've only had one class so far and right on that first day we did the child's pose, tried to stimulate our third eye and we "opened our minds" it was pretty alarming to me because I'm going to be stuck...

    Why would god give animals sentience (the ability to feel) if they were meant to be eaten?

    Why would god give animals sentience (the ability to feel) if they were meant to be eaten Whereas plants are insentient; and are physiologically superior for consumption. It never ceases to amaze me how religious gluttons try to justify something that especially to them should be profoundly...

    The Argument for Divorce

    Hello! So I’ve been debating with myself over the idea of divorce and remarriage. I was wondering if anyone had any compelling Biblical arguments in the favour of divorce/remarriage
