Apologetics 301 Guidelines

If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you


This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

    It builds nicely.... Run, Spot, run... run, run, run....
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      The correct quotation, from The New We Look and See, 1956 Edition, from Scott Foresman and Company, page 26, is as follows:

      "Come, come.
      Come, Spot, come.
      Run, run, run."

      (I have the teacher's edition.)

          I wonder if I could dig up the "Twisted Primer" spoof one of my high school friends did.
          Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

          I recommend you do not try too hard and ...research as little as possible. Such weighty things give me a headache. - Shunyadragon, Baha'i apologist

            You can see it in Matthew 5:18 and Paul’s response to the importance of Mosaic Law. Christianity as it has come down to us is a Hellenised treatment of the defeated Jesus revolutionary movement.

            The distillation of all that is something rather muddled and puerile.
            Jesus knocks on the door:
            “It’s Jesus, let me in.”
            Why should I let you in?
            “To save you.”
            From what?
            “From what I’ll do to you if you don’t let me in.”

            • First you make reference to a dispute (that never existed) between James and Paul as support for you viewpoint.
              Now you make reference to a threat that wasn't made.
              And what appears to be a complete failure to properly parse Matthew 5:18. (assuming that the claim is intended to indicate that the Covenant with Moses could be expected to continue in force.)
              1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.
