    General Discussions For Non Christians

    ONE SHALL BE TAKEN, THE OTHER LEFT = Matt 24;40, Luke 17;34, II Corinthians 5;8

    rocky, Right now in my state of Queensland (Qld) with all purchases one needs an App with a QR code. It is supposedly to track down COVID people. I have my doubts about it. If I didn't have the App on the mobile, I would have to give name and address details to the shop where I purchased the...

    OSAS.... what does this really mean ?

    Behold, The Bible also disputes this: 4 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age 6 and who have fallen away, to be brought...

    When one is deceived, does that make him a sinner?

    Cristo, Is deception unrighteous? If so, it it sin. I recall examples of unrighteousness from 1 Cor 6:9-11 (ESV): Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice...

    If God chooses us, is it a waste of time preaching to unbelievers?

    What is a person who stands up for the humanity and dignity of the unborn? Graham Preston's theme comes from Proverbs 24:11, "Rescue those being led away to death" (Proverbs 24:11). Do you support this biblical theme.? What would you have done with the Jews being slaughtered by the Nazis in...

    If God chooses us, is it a waste of time preaching to unbelievers?

    Mantis, Could it be that the church has not adequately trained its people to use apologetics to deal with people's objections to the faith? What are those objections? How many of you are interested in engaging in provocative evangelism with slogans such as: Where will you be one minute after...

    Are the Covid 19 Vaccines Safe? So Many Experts Scientists Saying No

    Vaccines save lives. That's why I had a polio vaccination many years ago. I'm not convinced Covid-19 vaccines have had enough time for adequate testing. It normally takes approx 4 years but this was a desperate pitch with the pandemic. Nevertheless, I've had my 2 injections of Pfizer vaccine...

    Breadth of creative writing

    I noted the thread, "Ready To Go Folks ~ Creative Writing Buffs Wanted" had 446 views in 3 years but nobody replied to Angelina's thread. Could it be the breadth of creative writing was not defined. Most of my creative writing is in narrative form on my homepage, "Truth Challenge." Yesterday...

    Please present your thoughts

John 14:26 demonstrates the Holy Spirit ‘reminds’ and teaches: ‘But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach...

    Why I am not a theological liberal

    Christian friends, I had this article published today in On Line Opinion, "Why I am not a theologically liberal person." I expect a lot of resistance from theological liberals and agnostics/atheists. Please join the battle with me in apologetics for Jesus. You will need to create your own pen...
