JRKH replied to David Oldham's discussion Foxe's Book of Martyrs"It's interesting...
I've been sitting back and watching the exchanges here...and not participating (much) - I know that some of it is quite tongue in cheek...yet at least some is tinged with more serious intent.
But feel that I must…"
Robert Atwood replied to Peter John Ellway's discussion William Lane Craig"Phil wrote, (are we having fun yet?) “We're disconnecting here Robert. I didn't suggest anybody can have only thoughts regarding God's pleasure. I instead suggested, let's forget the thoughts and grab the real…"
David Oldham replied to David Oldham's discussion Foxe's Book of Martyrs"Phil,
Why do you spit on the sacrifices of those we could never measure up to?
David"
Robert Atwood replied to Peter John Ellway's discussion William Lane Craig"I am sorry, Peter, but on what grounds can you legislate that my experience of God is merely imagined. If the possibility of experiencing God is not, at least an open question, then we are locked in dogmatic disagreement -- dogmatic on both…"
David Oldham replied to David Oldham's discussion Foxe's Book of Martyrs"Robert,
I thought of John 16:2b. However those folks have been and will be deluded to which god they actually serve.

Peter John Ellway replied to Peter John Ellway's discussion William Lane Craig"thanks, David - if you believed that too, the news would be even better, but maybe you're off the hit-list for now!

Peter John Ellway replied to Peter John Ellway's discussion William Lane Craig"but surely there is a difference between Phil's imagining a girl on his lap and the fact that (I dare say) he has actually had the sensory experience of enjoying this; also, while a memory (of a past girl) is not the original experience, it is…"
Robert Atwood replied to David Oldham's discussion Foxe's Book of Martyrs"Actually David, if the fundamentalist agnostics have their own Seal Team Six, then you can probably expect visitors. Self-righteous agnostics are doing the God they don't believe in a favor when they kill people like you. Sorry.…"
Robert Atwood replied to Peter John Ellway's discussion William Lane Craig"I wrote, And when I am thinking I feel His pleasure.

David Oldham replied to David Oldham's discussion Foxe's Book of Martyrs"Phil,
To borrow a phrase from Robert, "Ah, Phil, there you are."
I certainly don't have tact, nor a strategic mind to craft tight arguments during one of your protracted debates. We possess a different worldview than the other.
Since…"
Robert Atwood replied to Peter John Ellway's discussion William Lane Craig" I wrote, I think the best that a thoughtful Christian can do is to admit that there are problems tor which we do not have a very good answer.

David Oldham replied to David Oldham's discussion Foxe's Book of Martyrs"I agree. However there are Christians that are still being murdered for their faith and those who are responsible have made it clear that there is no reasoning with them.

Tyrone Flanagan replied to David Oldham's discussion Foxe's Book of Martyrs" Dear David, Foxe did use some material from Eusebius, but Eusebius' history includes first accounts of how the ancient church resolved disputes by taking issues to the church on a small scale. One of those maccounts was the schism…"
Jason commented on Scott's blog post The Church Did Not Begin at Pentecost"Scott,
This is old, but here is a piece I wrote several years ago.
Being in the Landmark Baptist heritage, I wrote it from a different angle; but I think we agree very much."

Spirit Led VS Emotions
Started by Maurice Edwards in Theology (General). Last reply by Rene Linzay 1 hour ago. 23 Replies 0 Likes
Many Christians quote, "don't be led by your emotions, be led by the spirit". How do you separate the two? Keep Galatians 5 in mind!

Do You "Know" Jesus?
Started by Maurice Edwards in Theology (General). Last reply by Maurice Edwards yesterday. 12 Replies 0 Likes
Inspired by my last discussion. We're called by the gospel to believe in and on the Lord Jesus. We're called "believers". But many Christians claim to "know" Jesus. Elaborate!
