Steve replied to Sebastian Bond's discussion 'THIS QUESTION WILL CRUSH ANY CHRISTIAN APOLOGIST...'"Name a Christian sect that categorically doesn't believe in hell. If there are any, there are less than five.
Name a Christian sect that doesn't believe in Original Sin. There may be some, but again, they would be fringe…"
Trevor replied to Sebastian Bond's discussion 'THIS QUESTION WILL CRUSH ANY CHRISTIAN APOLOGIST...'"I think how the pastor would respond would depend on whether this was actually your own personal crisis of faith that you were going through or whether it was the rant of someone entrenched in unbelief for whom no answer would ever suffice. If…"

Ash Pryce replied to Sebastian Bond's discussion 'THIS QUESTION WILL CRUSH ANY CHRISTIAN APOLOGIST...'"James, genuinely curious, could you define "Just" and "fair". I've always assumed just = fair. "
Ash Pryce replied to Sebastian Bond's discussion 'THIS QUESTION WILL CRUSH ANY CHRISTIAN APOLOGIST...'"I think the more important question relating to justice in the Bible is how is Jesus sacrifice for us justice? Theists say that if there is no heaven as atheists say and a person kills and isn't cuaght they don't get punished and…"
Chad Poelman replied to Sebastian Bond's discussion 'THIS QUESTION WILL CRUSH ANY CHRISTIAN APOLOGIST...'"I think that's mostly true (and mark twain was brilliant), but it was the rational arguments of an atheist friend that planted the seeds of doubt that eventually lead to my freedom from religion. She didn't hide her frustration with…"
John Kelly replied to Sebastian Bond's discussion 'THIS QUESTION WILL CRUSH ANY CHRISTIAN APOLOGIST...'"If you want to dig a bit deeper, NEA, BASOR and MAARAV are all great journals to see what is really going on in Archaeology."
Dave Gibbs replied to Sebastian Bond's discussion 'THIS QUESTION WILL CRUSH ANY CHRISTIAN APOLOGIST...'"Some Christian scholars of this sense refer to their faith as "mature" or "honest". While I agree that their approach to studying scripture, language and history is honest, I see this overlooking way of reconciling faith/beliefs…"
John Kelly replied to Sebastian Bond's discussion 'THIS QUESTION WILL CRUSH ANY CHRISTIAN APOLOGIST...'"Thom may call himself a christian, but it is in the loosest sense of the word. He is Christian-aligned, but is not a Christian... This is going to sound bitter, but here goes. He is an agnostic, he just is so caught up in the Emmanuel…"
Dave Gibbs replied to Sebastian Bond's discussion 'THIS QUESTION WILL CRUSH ANY CHRISTIAN APOLOGIST...'"I find writers like him very fascinating. It is strange to read the works of Christians who are familiar with modern middle-east/biblical scholarship, not only because of the many dishonest and uneducated apologists they are contrasted…"
John Kelly replied to Sebastian Bond's discussion 'THIS QUESTION WILL CRUSH ANY CHRISTIAN APOLOGIST...'"Thats crazy to see you quote Thom. He and I went to the same seminary together in the same class. I dropped out though when I realized it was a pointless life pursuit. I remember when I first got there and was expressing my doubts…"
Dave Gibbs replied to Sebastian Bond's discussion 'THIS QUESTION WILL CRUSH ANY CHRISTIAN APOLOGIST...'"Now there's the straw man. You've placed all of Christianity all behind one doctrine, instead of the actual 1000 versions of that one doctrine that actually exist among Christians."
Dave Gibbs replied to Sebastian Bond's discussion 'THIS QUESTION WILL CRUSH ANY CHRISTIAN APOLOGIST...'"I've been a member and believer in a variety of christian churches, and have read and heard hundreds of sermons, books, articles, apologetics, pamphlets, etc. from virtually every kind of christian faith. I've also listened to…"
Dogly replied to Sebastian Bond's discussion 'THIS QUESTION WILL CRUSH ANY CHRISTIAN APOLOGIST...'"No, none of us is saying all christians are evil. We are saying CHRISTIANITY is evil.

Dave Gibbs replied to Sebastian Bond's discussion 'THIS QUESTION WILL CRUSH ANY CHRISTIAN APOLOGIST...'"As for the "saying christians are evil" thing, it is some apologists defense of many OT events/laws, or attempt to brush them off that I (and many non-Christians here and elsewhere) find so disturbing, more than (most of) Christian…"
