Journey to the center of the Flat Earth

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

Gods of the Bible?

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?

Concordism

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

Does God love everyone?

Introduction:  Most people think that God loves every individual human that has ever existed. For such a universal dogma, you would expect it to be explicitly said all over the bible, but there’s no explicit statement that actually says that. So, they rely on deduction to derive this doctrine. We will see if they are successful in proving such. That isn’t to say that it is invalid to use good and necessary consequence, but I don’t think that they adequately apply such. We should also keep in mind the doctrine of impassibility. I’ve already shared resources on that before and … Continue reading Does God love everyone?
