Deeper Waters Forum Guidelines

Notice – The ministries featured in this section of TheologyWeb are guests of this site and in some cases not bargaining for the rough and tumble world of debate forums, though sometimes they are. Additionally, this area is frequented and highlighted for guests who also very often are not acclimated to debate fora. As such, the rules of conduct here will be more strict than in the general forum. This will be something within the discretion of the Moderators and the Ministry Representative, but we simply ask that you conduct yourselves in a manner considerate of the fact that these ministries are our invited guests. You can always feel free to start a related thread in general forum without such extra restrictions. Thank you.

Deeper Waters is founded on the belief that the Christian community has long been in the shallow end of Christianity while there are treasures of the deep waiting to be discovered. Too many in the shallow end are not prepared when they go out beyond those waters and are quickly devoured by sharks. We wish to aid Christians to equip them to navigate the deeper waters of the ocean of truth and come up with treasure in the end.

We also wish to give special aid to those often neglected, that is, the disabled community. This is especially so since our founders are both on the autism spectrum and have a special desire to reach those on that spectrum. While they are a special emphasis, we seek to help others with any disability realize that God can use them and that they are as the Psalmist says, fearfully and wonderfully made.

  • Deeper Waters Podcast: 1/19/2019: John Ferrer

    Ready to talk about abortion?

    Link

    ----

    What's coming up? Let's plunge into the Deeper Waters and find out.

    Abortion is often seen as a way of protecting women. Women have to be equal, so let's protect their rights! What if it isn't? What if abortion is the exact opposite? What if abortion is really a war against women?

    What if we went further and said that abortion is one of the worst evils being done in our world today? As a commenter on my Facebook page said about this topic, he can't believe that he has to go out and defend life. Many of us today are shocked that we have to do this.

    What if there's also more to the debate than just personhood? We can focus so much on the question of if the unborn are persons or not. Could it be that our energies could be better focused elsewhere than on this topic?

    Our guest tomorrow holds to these positions. He's done a number of debates on the topic of abortion and has extensive research on it. We're going to be talking with him about all of this. His name is John Ferrer.

    So who is he?



    * SES - MDiv Apologetics w/ emphasis in Languages
    * SWBTS - ThM & PhD - Philosophy of Religion, w/ Ethics minor
    * Dissertation - "Body Ethics" (a study of our ethical responsibilities in, to, and through our bodies).
    * Publishings with Christian Research Journal, Salvo Magazine, Christian Apologetics Journal, Journal of the International Society of Christian Apologetics, and others.
    * Debates with Matt Dillahunty of "The Atheist Experience," and with David Smalley of "Dogma Debate."
    * I have teaching experience with Texas Wesleyan University, Tarrant County College, Pantego Christian Academy.
    * I host two teaching websites: IntelligentChristianFaith.com and AbortionHistoryMuseum.com.
    * Currently I'm a teaching fellow with Equal Rights Institute, a pro-life training group in Concord, NC.
    * I also volunteer with Pella ProLife and Central College Students for Life.
    We'll be talking with him about many of these experiences and about why he's involved in the pro-life cause. Why should we care so much about the topic of abortion? What is his experience like getting to debate with Matt Dillahunty and David Smalley?

    We'll also be talking about the current work that he is doing in the area of abortion and apologetics and the abortion history museum. What is the history of abortion? Does it really kick off in 1the 1970's or is there a whole lot more that we need to know about beforehand? We can also discuss about the question of bodily ethics and ask how abortion relates and what it is we are supposed to be doing with our bodies?

    I hope you'll be listening in. Very soon we will be updating the podcast feed to get some new December episodes up and then we can start looking at episodes in January about the topic of abortion. Please consider going on iTunes and leaving a positive review of the Deeper Waters Podcast. I really love to see what you guys think and to realize how much you enjoy listening to the show.

    In Christ,
    Nick Peters
