Debate between 2 heavy-weights on God's existence

[Guest Troglodyte]

Believe it or not, 2 heavy-weights have decided to put their big ego's on the line in a debate on the existence of God. Why don't debates of this quality happen more often? See http://www.theologyonline.com/vbulletin/sh...=&threadid=7709

Greetings Trog...

Very interesting debate. It would be nice if ALL of us had the cumulative knowledge of both debaters, or even one of them, but unfortunately not many do including myself. I see things generally in much more simpler terms. That sort of debate belongs in philosophy circles, we on the other hand are told to go into all the world and preach the gospel, for it is God's power unto salvation. It is God, working through His Holy Spirit, who will reveal to us what we need to know to reach an unbelievers heart. The "spiritual" is determined by the "spiritual", which at least in my mind, is God's Word. So the Word must be interpreted by the Word, and supportive evidences for us is written in God's creation. But the spiritually undiscerning know nothing of God but their knowledge has deluded them into thinking that black is white and white is black.

So we are back to the Gospel. If by the testimony of the thousands of witnesses to the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ we are unable to reach the lost, then they are forever lost and must also be considered as spawns of Satan, for that is the "seed" which was planted by the enemy among the wheat that has brought forth thorns and thistles to the discomforture of those tending the wheat. But they shall be gathered in the end and set ablaze and it is their just deserts. If the terror of that is not phasing to them, then we must be as James and John and walk away without calling down hail, fire or brimstone upon them, but leave room for God's own judgment upon them.

Blessings,

Dad Ernie

Some of the heavy-weights are no more discerning than some of the feather-weights. I agree with D.E.
