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.

    You didn't answer my question:

    "Can you be 100% certain that when you die you will not burn for all eternity in the Muslim Hell because you are a wicked infidel who never acknowledged that Allah is the only true God and that the Koran is the only true Word of God?"
    Of course I am absolutely certain that I will be in the presence of the prophet Jesus. The Apostle John being the last living prophet on the earth until the return of Moses and Elijah.

      So you are absolutely certain that the Muslim exclusivist supernatural claims are false and I am absolutely sure that your conservative Christian exclusivist supernatural claims are false!

      Just as you are not worried about spending eternity in the Muslim Hell, I am not worried about spending eternity in the conservative Christian Hell! So you can stop trying to use Pascal's Wager on me.

        Yes, you are. Your promotion of Christian universalism makes that obvious.

          I wouldn't be concerned about spending an eternity in a non-existent "conservative Christian Hell" either. But the lake of fire God made for the devil and his messengers, that should be a concern if one does not keep one's name in the Lamb's book of life [Revelation 3:5; Revelation 17:8; Revelation 20:15].

It was the notion that one can know for sure about going to heaven - that I heard and understood the gospel message for the first time.

            For you to claim that people who die will not perish in an eternal hell for an eternity - that it is a myth. I'll ask you this - do you know this with absolute certainty? How? You have to have something in its place that you know for sure about - without a doubt. Please explain.
            Oh yes!!! You were told of the 'boogeyman!' There are just different versions and different names of the boogeyman in ancient mythology that say, 'If you do not behave or follow the rules . . ., you will be whatever is nasty and unpleasant beyond whatever.

                • McCullaghÂ’s criterion is “The statement, together, with other statements already held to be true, must imply yet other statements describing present, observable data.”

                  The present observable data test does not include a resurrection as no historian is able to observe JesusÂ’ "resurrection". Actual resurrection are not observable.

                    They're not?

                    So you have exhaustive data from all over the world that no miracle has occurred that involves someone coming back from the dead?

                      As per McCullagh requirement that claim must be present and observable . A resurrection is not present and observable data and hence does not pass this test.

                          I know there have not been a present and an observable resurrection.

                              Yes as no one has substantial evidence of a present and observable resurrection (not resucitation).

                                If you mean one like Jesus, sure, but that's not really a problem. We have plenty of evidence of miracles and we have evidence of theism and that's all we need.
