I'm glad you brought this point up. I don't understand how God must control events in order to know exactly how things will turn out. I see it kinda like a coin flip. If I had complete knowledge of all the variables involved, like how much force was exerted, air pressure and so on, I could accuratel...

I copied and pasted this from Gary Habermas' website. Among other things it lists a non-Christian early source for the martyrdom of James. Question: It is said that the disciples willingly died for their beliefs that Jesus Christ was alive. What is the historical evidence that they indeed did become...

One author that has really helped me is Gary Habermas. While he is a Christian, his argument for the Resurrection is based upon only using facts that the vast majority of published critical scholars, both secular and Christian, agree upon. He has several books and has a website with a number of arti...

Too be honest, I am inclined to think that is speaking of heaven but I'm not sure either. It could be speaking of a fellowship on Earth and have nothing to do with heaven but I don't know.

Christian Apologists That Have Helped

I was wondering what Christian apologists have been helpful to anyone on this forum. I have been through times that I have had serious doubts about God and Christ and the works of Gary Habermas have been a great help to me. He specializes in the Resurrection as a historical event. He presents a mini...

Youtube and Copyright

I am curious to hear anyone's thoughts on watching videos on Youtube that may have been posted without the copyrighter's permission. I believe that it may not be as cut and dry as individuals downloading entire movies o...

Works of the Flesh and Salvation

Hello, I would like to hear anyone's thoughts on the works of the flesh mentioned in Galatians and other places being associated with not inheriting the kingdom.

Shunning Unrepentant Professing Believers?

To Steve, if you're not too busy, and anyone who cares to comment, In 1 Corinthians 5 it talks about the church distancing themselves from a professing believer in blatent, unrepentant sin. I was wondering exactly what this means. Does this mean that as an individual you are not to be friends with t...
