Scoffing seems like the reverse of kryptonite.
So if we do not scoff, we can weaken all the believers?

Yes, but we are convinced that Christianity has more to offer than any other religion has to offer.
Only through the Blood sacrifice of Jesus is there eternal life. We have something to offer that no one else has to offer.
Our evidence is that people who are on the edge of death can be healed and receive a full recovery.
Even people who have died can be raised from the dead. If you know of another religion that can offer that, let me know.
We have drug addicts that are set free. People are set free from all sorts of bondage, sin & sickness. We have people who come to give us a testimony of having received a healing years ago, and they have been healthy all these years.

That is true, the more you persecute the church of christ, the stronger it gets. A lot of the weakness has come because it is just to easy to be a christian. They crucified Jesus, they martyred most of the apostles, yet the church just kept on growing and getting stronger and stronger. Another sign that God is with us.
This has to be one of the most morally compromised suggestions I've ever seen from a Christian. Should the truth be determined by the person with the biggest bribe? Heck, not even a bribe, but a promise of a bribe! I mean, if I give you my theory which promises eternal life and a hojillion dollars next Tuesday, obviously my theory is the right one, right?Warrior FC: It's the right forum, I am questioning why people would choose to believe theories that offer no eternal life rather than The Creator that does!

I do not know about Darwinism, but Secular Humanism can be very much oriented toward a high degree or standard of excellance. Your more advanced school like MIT and Harvard put a lot of demands on the students. They feel within reason, that the more adversity a student has to overcome, the better they will be educated.
And this only happens to Christians?

I can't pay for the tuition. I went to University of North Carolina for a year, but I couldn't keep paying.

Yes, when faced with threats and adversity, the Church survives grows, and adapts in response. If it didn't, it would die out like a fad or cult.
Sounds pretty Darwinian, doesn't it?

I have seen a lot of people receive healing from God, becaues He is drawing them and wanting them to know His goodness. God does limit what He will do for people who do not believe.
Healing is the childrens bread. Even under the law, by following the commandments of God, they could have good heath. But as christians under grace we can have divine health.
God will bless us, to the degree that we bless others. If we do good, than God will give good things to us.

It depends on if you have Godly intellegence, or if all you have is mans intelligence. When Jesus was born we are told that the shephards came to visit Him & they gave Praise and Glory to God for the things they had seen. The three wise men came, and they proclaimed that Jesus would be king. Simon a man who spent all of his time at the temple, went to see the baby, and he saw the salvation of God. But most people look and all they see is a baby, because they do not know God. Only in knowing our creator can we know that Jesus was sent to save the world.

I would say that in less than one hundred years, the atheists will find that evidence they have been asking for. They just have to be a little patient.

What happens is that you trust the accounts that you read in the Bible. But what is the outside evidence that compels everyone to trust those accounts?
