Away In A Manger

Beautiful song full of meaning. We should never lose the wonder of the incarnation and the marvelous love bestowed on us by our Lord. Jesus Christ the 2nd person of the Trinity, God the Son took on a human nature and took the punishment for our sin so that we can be reconciled to God! How marvelous, how wonderful that our God has done this. Be sure this season to be sure to share the Gospel, the good news of Christmas. Pray that God will put someone in your path that you can share with and be bold!

The Emperor Has No Clothes

Well known Atheist and outspoken critic of Christianity was recently asked why he would not debate arguably the best Christian apologist today. As you will see Dawkins gives a LAME answer and in the process is exposed. Why is he willing to debate a Pastor or a Bishop, but will not debate a trained philosopher and apologist? Because he would get demolished and he knows it!

Steven Curtis Chapman

Romans 6:14-19

For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace. 15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! 16 Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.

Natural Law

One does not need to have the Bible to know basic laws of morality. Those who say Atheists can not be moral or those who are not Christians can not be moral people are in error. One does not need the Bible nor does one need to believe in God to have a good structure of morals to which they live by.

However, God must exist for there to be an objective moral standard. Objective moral values say that for instance killing a baby for fun, is objectively wrong, which means it is a law that is valid and binding whether anyone believes it or not. Subjective moral values is all that would exist if there was no God (Transcendent Anchor) which would mean one could not say in any objective sense that killing a baby for fun was wrong. It might be your opinion, but why is your opinion better than others?

This is why God must exist for there to be a ground for an objective standard, even atheists can be moral because even though they supress the truth, God does exist. However, if there was no God there would be no objective moral values.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all those who follow this blog. I have been very blessed to be able to run this blog and get the information out there for people to see it, and plan to continue as long as the Lord allows. I am a student at Southern Evangelical Bible College working on my B.A. in Religous Studies. After bible college I plan to go to the Seminary at Southern and continue my education with a M.A. in Christian Apologetics with a concentration in philosophy (For those who have been asking). I hope those who come to this blog are blessed and equipped to go and defend the historic Christian faith, to which we have much to be thankful for!

Jesus Christ or Joseph Smith?

This video goes through the claims of both men and by so doing show that either Jesus or Joseph Smith is wrong. The Law of non-contradiction says two opposing claims can not be both true and false at the same time and in the same sense, thus both can not be correct in what they taught.

Fossil Flap

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33416595/ns/technology_and_science-science/?gt1=43001
CLICK HERE

AP-------Remember Ida, the fossil discovery announced last May with its own book and TV documentary? A publicity blitz called it "the link" that would reveal the earliest evolutionary roots of monkeys, apes and humans.

Experts protested that Ida wasn't even a close relative. And now a new analysis supports their reaction.

In fact, Ida is as far removed from the monkey-ape-human ancestry as a primate could be, says Erik Seiffert of Stony Brook University in New York."

Problem Of Evil

Several philosophers attempt to answer the question

Dr. William Lane Craig

In this clip they go over some of Aquinas arguments from Gods existence

Dr. William Lane Craig

Dr. Craig exposes Richard Dawkins silly arguments, and challenges the outspoken atheist to debate him

Dr. Geisler vs Dr. Kurtz

Funny how the Atheist always claims to follow where the scientific evidence leads, until it works against them and then they retreat unto the great unknown

Dr. Frank Turek

I think Dr. Turek did an excellent job dealing with this skeptic. I recommend His and Dr. Geislers book, "I don't Have Enough Faith To Be An Atheist"

Problem Of Evil

The Existence and the Persistence of Evil is used as a argument against God's existence, but is this a sound argument?

In order to say something is evil, one must first know what is good, for there must be standard that separates good from evil. However, if Naturalism is true, then how do you make the distinction between good and evil if there is no objective transcendent anchor? The difference between subjectivity and objectivity is that if something is objective, then it is valid and binding regardless of one's opinion and subjectivity is rooted in personal preference or taste. If there is not an objective standard, then nothing is objectively evil, but rather everyone determines right from wrong based upon their personal opinion.

However, if this is so, then how can we say child abuse is objectively wrong or that The Holocaust was objectively evil? Only if there is a objective transcendent standard, which separates good from evil, can we make objective moral judgements. This of course is not to say that atheists can't be moral. Many are, but they must borrow from the Theist's worldview in order to make moral judgements of what is "good" and "evil".

I will write more on this in the coming weeks, but the next time that an atheist wants to use the Problem of Evil as an argument against the God of the Bible, remind him that he is borrowing capital from the Theist's worldview in order to do so!

Dr. Jonathan Sarfati- Refuting Compromise - Why The Belief In 6 Litteral Day Creation Matters!

Since the rise of uniformitarian "science", there have been many compromises of Scripture away from its original meaning.

Dr. Jonathan Sarfati was born in Ararat, Australia in 1964. He moved to New Zealand as a child and later studied science at Victoria University of Wellington. He obtained a B.Sc. (Hons.) in Chemistry with two physics papers substituted (nuclear and condensed matter physics). His Ph.D. in Chemistry
