    Dispensationalism... Nonsensical?

    I noticed the "anti-dispensationalists" have been more active lately. They seem to be stuck on a couple things - one being the rapture, as if that is a central tenet of dispensationalists. And the other is that dispensationalists are heretics because they believe in 'cheap grace' and don't...

    Christmas traditions

    When we were in the Pacific Northwest, we would get a permit to cut down a Christmas tree off the mountain where the loggers had been. That turned out to be a really great set of memories. But now that I'm in the Midwest, I'm not interested in getting a live tree at all. The fake tree is as good...

    Does Open Theism make us view eschatology differently?

    Well, the number is small because it's just Israel, and the number is big because it's the rest of the world. I can see JR's point that MAD is very important in this context.

    Does Open Theism make us view eschatology differently?

    Right, the prophecy says that enough will follow Satan to make it worth God's time to defeat them. But if not enough follow Satan, God can find a different way to prove His point without removing anyone's will. Or, God may say He doesn't need to prove that point anymore. So, in light of what I...

    Does Open Theism make us view eschatology differently?

    I suppose if one wants to say OT makes eschatology differently than the settled view, then yes, of course. In the settled view, God decreed we would speculate about something He decreed we'd call "eschatology". Although in that context, speculation, what we think about something, or what we...

    What did you believe before Open Theism?

    I grew up as Lutheran, attending the Lutheran schools and going to Michigan Lutheran Seminary. While there I heard about a problem back in my local church where a bible teacher I had learned from was being expelled from the congregation because he was teaching in an unsanctioned bible study. I...

    Refuting Professor Dave Pt I - Sept 20, 2024

    I tried engaging with David on his YT channel. He does take time in the comments, which is rare for a channel his size, but he is very abusive to people that don't agree with him, or he deletes any comments he doesn't like even if they bring up a good point. And he has an army of fans that abuse...

    Big if true

    It means dino's were on the earth recently. Since the sediments these footprints are found in are recent.

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    I don't think you realize how big the earth is and how hard rock is. State sized chucks would have been ripped out of the crack, and they ended up a tiny fraction of the size because of the forces you are correctly saying they would be subject to. In a way, yes, they were turned into powder, but...

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    A couple things. First, since we already can sling objects into sub-orbital trajectories I don't see the "obvious" problem with the inner portion of the ejection stream actually reaching escape velocity. Second, the 360 day year evidence is very compelling. It reveals that, yes, the closer we...

    more Darwinist self-defeat

    He's just going by what they are saying. And why do you say a particular species appeared at any particular time when there has only been a gradual morphing from one generation to the next since the hypothetical primitive protocell first came to life?

    more Darwinist self-defeat

    If you accepted basic science you would admit 7djengo7 was right. Or, barring that, you could tell us when along the scale of hypothetical primitive protocell to today where man entered.

    biden watch

    I don't think so. To wake up would be to realize the media was lying to them for years. People think his cognitive decline is just happening now. So, yeah, they have now begun to eat their own.
