The written Word is effectively used as evidence. John 20:30-31 ESV "Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have...

That's fine, and I might even agree, but the way you describe it is not really evidence for an atheist. They don't care whether there is a spectacular event or not. What they should care about is what secular scholars say about the evidence. And that's really the grounding for the Minimal Facts...

TW3 is probably my favorite video game of all time, just like the author of this YouTube channel. I have over a thousand hours logged on this game on Steam. Now, the reason for this is that I tend to "restart" the game a million times before I actually finish the storyline. I have beaten the...

Revisionist history is completely regrettable. We can know things about the past. Not with 100% certainty, but getting "goosebumps" from the Torah when you know it is not real, not really, means something is seriously messed up in your noggin. It's like saying, "I love being Jewish, just that...

I grew up in the Church, but I was always compromising between my Christian beliefs and what I wanted to do. My faith, though somewhat real, was incredibly shallow. I then, because of my schizoaffective disorder, started to become paranoid. Somewhere along the line, I concluded that if I did...

All that matters at the end of the day is what is true, with a capital T. I think Christianity explains the world we live in better than any other worldview. As such, the pinnacle claim of Christianity is the resurrection. This is a historical claim that can either be true or false. If it is...

I literally predicted this would happen... Why don't people understand radical Islam?

I think Agape love requires sacrifice.

I think, largely, people don't understand their own depravity. They think they are "good enough," or whatever. But real love is sacrificial. Necessarily, love is self-sacrificial. It's very easy to love people when it is convenient. Most people run from helping people when it costs them...

Don't take this the wrong way, but it feels like I am getting a second-hand sweater...

About the verses you quoted... The way I like to say it is that Jesus was not teaching people how to love themselves (more), which is a great sin in the US today. Rather, the grounding of the argument that Jesus gives assumes that we already love ourselves. So, it is not a moral teaching on how...

It gets worse. Now they don't want the great people of the UK to even know about the release of the above information... https://notthebee.com/article/british-official-suggests-this-weeks-social-media-ban-to-protect-the-kids-of-course-will-be-followed-by-vpn-bans

I'm not even GenX, but this is hilarious.
