Journey to the center of the Flat Earth

TheSire

It is a time of great liberalism we find more and more scholars maintaining positions that undermine the Biblical writers. It comes in the idea of open theism, denials of inerrancy, polytheism, and the Flat Earth. It is good not all have gone that route such as Dr. Vern Poythress and others. Dr. Poythress wrote in his book Inerrancy and Worldview on pages 39-41 this: An Alleged Three-Decker Universe? Similar principles help us to understand the passages where the Bible makes a tripartite distinction in spatial regions. Exodus 20:4, for example, says, “You shall not make for yourself a carved … Continue reading Journey to the center of the Flat Earth

“Mean Christianity”

TheSire

Recently a video was presented to me about “Mean Christianity”. Baldie the Limey made it. He is a Roman Catholic apostate. I watched the entire video and had to bear the terrible anti-sola Scriptura jokes. They started off whining about people they don’t like and asked, “What is the solution for these sorts of people and at 8:02 the Agnostic Frank gave them a simple solution “Don’t talk with them”. This didn’t sit well with Baldie. It included complaints about our name being “The Council of G+”. This simply was just a bandwagon attempt to whine with others because we … Continue reading “Mean Christianity”

Gods of the Bible?

TheSire

My comments on this video: Tyler Vela states: “Is polemical language not a much easier resolve here than positing a realm of actually existing beings? Don’t Christians speak this way now – that God is greater than all the gods of Hinduism? Allah? The gods of money, sex, and power? Do we not often reify supposed gods to make the comparison relevant?” I respond: I think this is just a problem in language itself and Michael Heiser is unfamiliar with logic. We often refer to things that don’t exist as if they did. “Unicorns have a horn” seems to imply … Continue reading Gods of the Bible?

Hume looking for a miracle

TheSire

Ever since Hume, it has been asked whether a miracle could ever occur. He defined a miracle as ‘a transgression of a law of nature by a particular volition of the Deity’. Tyler Vela: A Hume Divided Dr. Timothy McGrew: McGrew on Hume Do miracles break the laws of nature, as David Hume claimed? Dr. Stephen Meyer: Do Miracles Violate the Laws of Nature? Alvin Plantiga: Do Miracles Violate the Laws of Nature? Does Science Show That Miracles Can’t Happen? Dr. Craig Keener: Why don’t miracles happen whenever somebody needs them? Dr. William Lane Craig: How should we define miracles … Continue reading Hume looking for a miracle

Concordism

TheSire

Here are the other parts: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8, Part 9, Part 10, and Bibliography. The issue of Concordism arises from the modern climate of the progress of scientific inquiry. This is because of our privileged status in the plan of God. We have been given machines and inventions that have changed the world and subsequently our lives. Even as you read what I wrote you can see our dependency on Science. Even now the apologetics community is filled with men like Hugh Ross that bring science into the … Continue reading Concordism
