My friend, I find this post very telling. Would you rather debate for the fun of it instead of giving yourself a chance to open up to what the Gospel is?

"Because debate is fun" is a statement which shows you are here merely for the entertainment value rather than to truly search out what God may have for you. Personally, I take minor offense that you would use this site merely for "fun" but I set that aside in the hope that you will find something of value here which is vastly more important than your personal entertainment.

Think, friend, and seek.

In Him,

t.

Amen, Brother Ted!! :thumbsup:

That's funny. I recognize creation as evidence of a creator, and that's part of the foundation of my faith. So I guess it's just not evidence for atheism.

Yes I can. I just did.

I believe the suitability of our universe invalidates atheism because, like in our natural world, if it doesn't get created, it doesn't exist.

No, by that logic, it isn't the suitability of our universe that invalidates atheism, it is the existence of our universe that invalidates atheism. That is a separate matter. Whether or not our existence invalidates atheism is open for discussion, but the suitability of our universe doesn't prove or disprove anything.

You'll argue about anything.

I'll buy your comment that the existence of our universe invalidate atheism though. I'm glad you finally see the light. :24:

:thumbsup: I clearly said "Whether or not our existence invalidates atheism is open for discussion". If your critical reading skills are really that bad you should seek help, but I suspect this was just another intellectually dishonest tactic, albeit a pathetically weak one.

My point was that your argument that "if it doesn't get created, it doesn't exist" clearly doesn't address the suitability of our universe, but its existence. You are arguing a different point.

I quoted you word for word. There is nothing wrong with my reading skills. Perhaps you should look into your writing skills.

In the form that you've emphasized, the quote is clearly taken out of context; you'll notice I prefaced it with "by that logic". If you missed that, you do need to practice your critical reading.

In any case, I think my meaning was clear: that "if it doesn't get created, it doesn't exist" doesn't address the suitability of our universe, but its existence, a different point entirely.

If it doesn't get created, then there is no suitability whatsoever. The fact is that our universe is suited to life on Earth. Elsewhere has yet to be determined. You are arguing about a universe that doesn't exist. How goofy is that? :laugh:

My point is that even if I were to agree that the existence of our universe invalidates atheism, the fact is that the suitability of our particular circumstances do not. They are two separate evidences.

To me, creation is evidence of a Creator. To you, it's not. What's there to discuss? :noidea:

It's really quite simple. Creation may be evidence of a Creator, but the suitability of our planet is not.

Yer starting to sound like "blah blah blah". Making a lot of noise but not saying anything. :emot-heartbeat:

Some things are matters of opinion, others are matters of fact. Some things are matters of faith, others are matters of reason. This is the latter of both.

Your point is that Creation = Creator, but what I keep trying to tell you is that that is an entirely different and argument to whether or not the suitability of our universe invalidates atheism. The fact that the arguments are separate is not a matter of opinion.

Ok. You win.

Are you saying this because you can't and/or don't wish to expend the mental energy to understand what cache is saying and just want to be done with the conversation, or do you really admit to understanding and agree with cache?

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topics,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
