Well, I am literally going to be walking out the door in about 30 minutes to head out for a brief picnic with my family and then off to the airport. Today I leave for two weeks of study with one of my profesors and some other students in Israel and Jordan. Please pray for my wife (Jeanette)...

Might of Menethil has to be one of the baddest weapons in the game, that is some sick stats ... Fists of Unrelenting I like, and the Slayer's Crest looks outstanding as well.

If we are going to assume an omniscient, omnipotent Creator God, who has formed everything we see, including us in our mother's wombs ... is it that big of a stretch to think that He could order it and use it so that the books He wanted preserved would be?

No. All of the Bible was written to a specific audience, but that does not mean that it does not apply to today. If there is no application to today, what is the point of the Bible at all? Yes, Paul was writting to the Romans, but you fail to say why that is of any consequence or why...

As for the Kingdom being near, it was at the time it was preached early in the Gospels/ministry of Christ. During His lifetime He was making an offer of the promised Kingdom to the Jewish people, but they rejected it. What we are in now is the 'time of the gentiles'. You made mention of the...

No I do not. There are other great texts with good value, which may contain some truth, but I believe God preserved what He wanted us to have as far as His Scriptures are concerned. No, the Council of Nicea had nothing to do with forming the cannon of scripture, contrary to Mr. Brown's...

There's also more than just those passages ... you have the high priestly prayer where He says that He has sent them out (17:18), in John 20:21 He directly sends them, in Acts 1:8 He tells the disciples (this was a great number of them, not just the 12) that they WILL be His witnesses. But...

Historically you are incorrect, in modern Christianity, yes the doctrines of the Reformation are under attack. Here is what I am saying, taken strait from Scripture, Romans 1: 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress...

I believe that God has revealed Himself to us all, He has left us without excuse, but we all are sinners, and all are dead in our sins and trespasses. We are all utterly fallen and none will ever turn to God unless He first quickens us with new life. How and why He choses each of us is His own...

As you wish, you can believe what you like about me. I was not raised as an atheist I was raised as an agnostic. In my entire first two decades of life basically I set foot in a church two times, both when I was about 5. My parents were completely a-religious, and my father was a science...

The resurrection for one separates it from all other religions. Mohammed is dead in his grave. Budha likewise. Christ is the only one who rose again on the third day to prove who He was. In Budhism you have the parable of the blind men and the elephant, in Christianity you have the elephant...

... especially since there are a great many places in today's world where that is the Christian experience. In fact there have been more Christian martyrs in the last 100 years than in all of the rest of the 1900 years prior.

See and I take great issue with that. Realize that the statement you just made would be loved by every post-modern and relativist thinker out there, and I would have to then say ... well why follow Christianity. Because the idea you are espousing is that all religions are equally valid, because...

In my humble opinion the natural, observable and testable points to the Creator plainly. I suggest a book to you, titled "In 6 Days", which contains papers written by 50 different highly degreed and awarded scientists explaining from their field of expertise why they have been led to believe and...

Well that dashes my impressions of you then. Most modern thinkers (being actually post-modern in philosophy) have a huge problem with the entire thing. Now modernists, yes, would agree with everything up until the last clause. By the fact that all of this reality was begun by said being, and...
