No, otherwise, it wouldn't be faith. No. Yes, but then, I would consider apologetics to be a doctrine. I can't say that it has. I'm not sure how it could. I don't think Christianity has ever claimed to have ALL the answers to every single question. We have some answers, especially to...

Well, there's also the matter of free will. Could God stop every one from doing evil or making a bad decision before they did it? Sure, but then that's not free will, we would just be puppets with strings. God could also restore everything instantly but then nothing would have been learned. I...

There's a WW2 skit where one Nazi soldier notices all the skull badges on his uniform and asks the other Nazi soldier, "Are we the baddies?" I feel that is where we are at. There is a total disconnect with reality with people like this professor. They have this distorted view that justifies this...

What can possibly go wrong? Everything. The sheer lunacy of the UK government is astounding. This is the irrational decision making of a society on the verge of collapse.

I've read that Pope Francis appointed 109 of the 135 Cardinal Electors, so, I expect the next pope will be just as "progressive" as the last.

Context is everything, isn't it? A word can mean different things depending on how it's used. The use of the word "mala" in Gen 1:28 is more similar in usage to Gen 9:1 than it would be to the other examples you cited. The point being is that filling something does not preclude it from being...

Just because something isn't "inspired" doesn't mean it's not useful. The Bible doesn't tell us everything. For instance, it doesn't tell us about dinosaurs, yet we know they existed. There's still a lot we don't know about our own prehistory. We try to fill in the gaps as best we can, but there...

Why does it need to be "inspired"?

There are many books on this subject, "Another Time, Another Place, Another Man" by Finis J. Dake, for example.

Care to expound on this? I don't have a lot of time in this moment, but I'll respond when I can.

There is also the idea that Semyaza and Azazel are synonymous, hence the "aza" in both their names. I tend to think it was a separate rebellion, apart from Lucifer's (Satan) initial rebellion. I've researched dragon mythologies and it's quite interesting how they all have common themes that...

They love it because it's antithetical to Christianity and Western values. The enemy of my enemy is my friend and such. What they don't realize is their head will eventually be on the chopping block.

I agree, on a long enough timeline, humanity will completely destroy itself given our fallen nature. We've already created the means to do so. The Bible tells us as much: “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened."...

I can't say what God did or did not do, I don't know. I will say that the argument that the universe is big, so there must be life, is not necessarily true. The universe is big, but it's also mostly empty. Scientists estimate that all the matter that makes up stars, planets, etc. only accounts...

I've seen some videos of CECOT. What caught my attention is just how subdued, for lack of a better word, the inmates were. American prisons are noisy and the prisoners run the inside of the prison. In CECOT it's a very different story, the guards are in control. The worst of the worst are sent...

I've been thinking about the curses that were bestowed on humanity after the fall. Death and sickness are the most obvious ones. But I think there is another one that isn't so obvious: ignorance. Think about it. So many people today believe things that just aren't true. So many conflicts and...

"Sounds like" is not exactly a compelling argument. Every ethnic group is capable of reproducing with every other ethnic group, which means we all have a common ancestor. Science also confirms the existence of a mitochondrial Eve and a chromosomal Adam, though they don't accept the biblical...

What if questions will do that to you. And you can ask what if questions all day long without ever finding an answer. There's a saying I like: "If Jesus didn't rise, nothing else matters; if Jesus did rise, nothing else matters." I think it can apply to all your what if questions as well.

They were the first humans, though there is a theory there was a pre-Adamic civilization. I don't know. Even if that were true, I don't think they were human like us.

Yes, which is why it's an easy out for the Muslim apologist. He already knows that exact phrase is not there, but the precept is. So, he doesn't have to prove anything. All he did was ask a leading question. I can't say for certainty. Maybe He did but it was never recorded. Maybe it wasn't...
