Gender and Biology

TheSire

I was recently asked by an atheist to watch a video on transgenderism. This isn’t my field of inquiry or one of my interest, but I figured I’ll take a look. I’ll split this up into a few different areas. The issues are the views of Science, Transgenderism, and Ethics. The real issues in this debate are supposed to decide the third in this debate, but often times it is the opposite way around. I’m not a biologist nor a scientist. 1.Science The person in the video tells us his views on what science is meant for. He goes throughout the … Continue reading Gender and Biology

Did Jesus prophesy falsely?

TheSire

It is often thought by unbelievers that Jesus prophesied falsely that he would return in 70 A.D. That is because too many it appears that he does so in the Olivet Discourse.

TheSire

Necessitarian had a dialogue with an atheist named Cactus: Cactus: I understand that the problem of induction is philosophically pressing. To base your worldview on whatever answers this one complicated question best seems fair to me. But it does not follow that it’s True. I believe you will always win the argument of coherence in this chat, but – I’ve said it once and I will say it till it is properly addressed: A claim to knowledge != knowledge. ” ” ” Ultimate truth != ultimate truth And unfortunately, the Christian Worldview, as presented, is only actually coherent IF its … Continue reading When a Cactus misses the Point

Freewill Scapegoat: Part 2

TheSire

I saw that Mike Manea responded to me over on BTWN and I have gotten a little free time to respond. “The issue is that her writings are at the center of these controversies. So, if she is authoritative in your eyes, then she must be a part of the conversation.” EGW has no authority when it comes to SDA theology and doctrine. Our epistemology is nothing like that of Mormons or JWs. We are firm promoters of Sola Scriptura, even more so than any other protestant group because we reject ALL external authorities and hermeneutical keys (Protestant tradition, Christian … Continue reading Freewill Scapegoat: Part 2

Class is in Session

I recently noticed someone tried to rebut my article on Leighton Flowers called ‘How to Flunk Soteriology101’. That is nice to see that Leighton’s followers are picking up the slack for him. The issue often is that his followers often don’t add any new content and only repeat old stale lines that Flowers gives them. So, over on the Bible Thumping Wingnut blog version of my post, someone responded to me. Here is what they said: I am not sure these are really the best ‘rebuttals.’ Well, it seems like many people think otherwise. 1. Always conflating Calvinism with determinism … Continue reading Class is in Session
