Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 1. 0:03 {What if God Has No Free Will?} Does God lack free will Himself, since He cannot act outside of or contrary to His nature?

What Prosperity Preachers Hide From You

We do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 1. 0:05 {Does Exodus Condone Abortion?} Does exodus 21:22 really condone abortion? I've seen multiple commentaries and translations, and it does really seem like abortion is accepted as the baby's life appears to be less valuable. 2. 10:58 {How Long to Date Before Marriage} Is being in a long-term dating relationship wise?

2nd Most Powerful Argument Against God

The idea is that God, as the Christian describes Him, cannot exist, since a loving God would reveal Himself to the non-resistant non-believer and He does not. Therefore, such a loving God must not exist. I think this is a truly challenging argument, not only because it tackles what feels like a very real world issue (I admit) but because arguing against it can quickly put you into the position where you are no longer arguing so much about philosophy or logic but where you are pigeon-holed into a...

My pushback against the Christian Poverty Movement.

I really hope that those who have freely chosen to be part of communal living or to sell all they have will pay close attention to the actual verses of Scripture I use here and how consistently the Bible makes it clear that this command is not for all believers. I've made several different points which each seem quite powerful in proving that this movement has misapplied some verses and missed the meaning of others. You can freely do so, but to tell everyone that they are obligated to do so is n...

Famous people being wrong about Christmas being Pagan

Someone should do a research paper about how gullible people are when it comes to believing that things are Pagan in origin. Hey, I used to think so too.
