Not a problem. I was not claiming to know the specific doctrines of your particular denomination. You asked for any source to back up my claim that modern day Gnostic's do indeed have a need for hell in their doctrine and believe in reincarnation. I thought I provided a good source but you did not a...

You asked a serious question from a Christian point of view, so you should get a biblical answer and not Catholic dogma or smart-aleck comments from atheists. 1. The dead know nothing (Ecc 9:5) and are not in heaven or hell. The Bible does not mention anything about limbo. 2. Christ is the firstbor...

1. Atheists hate Jesus.
2. You can't hate something that doesn't exist.
3. Therefore Jesus exists.

I did not "flag" this thread. I did not ask for it to be pulled down. I did not ask for it to be put back up under my name. I can only assume the 'why' and it was not due to the profanity directed at me nor the ad hominem attacks, not even the lies. I suspect it was because I touched a raw...

Can't discount the miracle of resurrection, therefore unicorns. Thanks for the laugh. Actually the argument goes something like this: If you can't explain away miracles using science then the miracle probably didn't happen. Which leads to: Miracles are supernatural and science can not validate the ...

If we stick to the facts then we can understand how Carrier's latest attempt to disprove the historical Jesus using Baye's Theorem also fails. "The most common objection [to Baye's Theorem] is usually to insist that historical reasoning isn’t mathematical. But it obviously is."...Carrier *...

You can mock/hate clinical psychology all you want but it doesn't invalid the truth of Habermas studies. As Gary Habermas would put it. Since I don't believe in invisible unicorns, I don't hate them because how can I hate something that doesn't exist? Yet, some [so-called] atheists spend a lot of ti...

I would never call Carrier an atheist, a pseudo-atheist perhaps but he is not a real atheist. Your opinion above is of no value. Then I shall assign value by stating what my opinion is based on. Gary Habermas has worked with a clinical psychologist for over 20 years trying to understand why skeptic...

@DC Hinley, Thanks for your comments. However, Carrier does indeed accept the 6 step test. So, Craig was not using 'Gish Gallop' but instead using an accepted method by historians including Carrier. Perhaps you should take up your objections to the 6 step test with Carrier but you should read a samp...

@MrMacSon, I'm sorry if my writing was not clear enough for you. Forgive me, for I barely made it through English 101. What I was trying to say and it would be clear to you if you actually watched the debate is that, Craig uses the standard 6 point test that historians use in determining what is the...
