Kay17:blind faith is :believing in something that cannot been seen. This is not how the bible defined faith. The Christian life is more than a life of blind trust (faith) . It is a life of rational examination that challenges each of us to evaluate the evidence, form a conclusion and then share that conclusion with the world around us. Biblical model of evidential faith: CHRISTIANS ARE CALLED TO USE THEIR MIND>>>>"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and foremost commandment." ( Matthew 22:37-38) There is a place for skepticism in the life of the Christian because it causes us to "examine the Scriptures daily". CHRISTIANS ARE CALLED TO BE CONVINCED OF WHAT THEY BELIEVE>>>>2 Timothy 3:14 14 You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become CONVINCED of, knowing from whom you have learned them. Conviction is the result of certainty, and certainty is the result of evidential confidence. We are called to be convinced by mastering the evidence that supports what we believe. The Christians life is not one of "wishful thinking" or "hope in the unreasonable". It is a life of certainty, grounded in the evidence. |

KingEbukasBlog: Oga, the burden of proof should not lie with the atheists. YOU have bought into this god delusion, YOU rationalize it. You tell US why and how the world is the doing of a god. Don't say 'because the bible tells me'. By that logic, Moordor is a real place because the Lord of the Rings books say it is. Also, MY science books as well as all the other logical resources put together by godless heathens tell me why and how the world exists. Shouldn't your 'the bible tells me' logic apply there too? They are both books, aren't they? Atheism is a counter-argument, oga. The rebuttal should come from your end. Oh and you're quoting a Christian website? Really? Why was this article not published anywhere else? Why has it not made CNN news? Wait one second while I get a Sagan or Dawkins quote.. *rolls eyes* 1 Like 1 Share |

malvisguy212: 1. I'm sorry, WHAT?? I have never seen a more apt example of a command...it even states it clearly - 'COMMANDMENT', i.e, 'You WILL do this. I do not require your input. If you do not, you will become Satan's suya.' 2. Lol. Nothing inspires conviction more effectively than a nightmarish threat. A man who has never harmed a fly will confess to more than one crime if tortured and threatened with enough intensity. 2 Likes 1 Share |

HerPapaPikin88:God did not ask us to believe, He want us to be sure of what we believe, to be 100% sure of our faith. As christians, Our desperate need is not for clever arguments but for a powerful encounter with the living God (1 Corinthians 4:20).And we need not more dramatic signs from heaven, but to act on what we already know. The door to spiritual understanding is not human explanation,but supernatural revelation. It swings not on mind games but on a willingness to surrender our stubborn will to One who knows better than us (John 7:17; 2 Corinthians 3:14-16;4:3-4; 1 Corinthians 2:4-16; Luke 10:21). Draw near to God and he will draw near to you, promises the Bible (James 4:. Until we respond to the light we already have, God is unlikely to squander further enlightenment upon us. With insincere excuses we might even fool ourselves, but not the One who knows everything. We don't decide how much evidence we need: God does.Neither do we have the final say as to when God will lose patience with us. 2 Likes 1 Share |

HerPapaPikin88: An excerpt from an interview with Bill Gates: Do you believe in God? I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm – not all – that religion used to fill. But the mystery and the beauty of the world is overwhelmingly amazing, and there's no scientific explanation of how it came about. To say that it was generated by random numbers, that does seem, you know, sort of an uncharitable view [laughs]. I think it makes sense to believe in God, but exactly what decision in your life you make differently because of it, I don't know.

UyiIredia: I'll respond to you here and that will be my final contribution to this post. Your very first sentence here made me conclude that you're either just too ignorant or dishonest to have this discussion with me. You're denying evidence right before your eyes of hind limbs in whales and other cetacea. You declare that known parts are unknown. That to me is like someone looking at the picture of the globe taken from space showing the African continent and saying that the structure before them is unknown. Such a level of dishonesty or ignorance I can't abide. So, take the time to educate yourself by taking one of the free online courses on evolution. Or just stop being dishonest. Pick the one that applies best to you. Good luck to you. |

Mindfulness: Lol..And this very vague and obviously diplomatic response tells me what?? Ask a 'proper christian' (Gosh! what an oxymoron!) if he/she is a Christian, the answer would be a straightforward albeit self-righteous 'Yes'. But seeing as you're obviously grasping at straws out of sheer desperation, I'll just let you have that one...you seem like you could use a win. |

thehomer: This is silly. Clearly, those bones you pointed out weren't legs like the one's you posted. Neither have you rebutted my statement that their functions are unknown. You are the one guilty of ignorance. |
Re: Three Arguments For God's Existence by Nobody: 7:00pm On Aug 21, 2015 |
