Atheist: "Morality is subjective."
Me: "Actually -"
Atheist: "Don't try to push your religion on me! That's wrong!"
Later...
Me: "The Bible -"
Atheist: "Stop right there. I would never be able to believe in someone so obviously immoral as the God of the Bible."

He made the forest whence there sprung
The tree on which His body hung.
He died upon a cross of wood,
Yet made the hill on which it stood.
The sky that darkened o’er His head,
By Him above the earth was spread.
The sun that hid from Him it’s face
By His decree was poised in space.
“(1) Christianity is an idiotic religion. (2) It has done nothing to advance society, but really has hindered it. (2a) A prime example is the Inquisition and Crusades. (2b)It does nothing but kill people who don’t deserve to be killed. (3) By calling yourself a Christian, your condoning murder of innocent lives. Do you really want that on you?

“Atheists can’t help but spread the Gospel.”
Anonymous asked: Now it's more clear. Still, I think that supporting pro-life with biblical and religious reasons is absurd because of 1 Corinthians 5:12. And I find offensive the similitudes between Holocaust and abortion: they are not comparable. But this is another matter.

Presuppositional Apologetic
Romans 1:18-23 “(18)For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, (19)because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. (20)For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being...
Anonymous asked: My original point is how someone can say that abortion is wrong if it is God himself that decides how long the life os someone must be. And murder: the same. And you may think I am pro-choice but I am not but for different reasons.
Anonymous asked: If we debae a written text and the fact that people have their lives based on it we have to debate the semantic of the text. My point is still that if God schedules a life then God doesn't only decide the point of beginning but also the end.

Daniel: Election →
etiamreformandi:
Some people mistakenly think that election would keep some who were willing to follow God from being able to do so, simply because they are not elect. This is what happens when you don’t fully understand all of the doctrines of grace. Even the elect would not have chosen God without his grace! You…

Anonymous asked: Why is it completely fallacious for both to assume positions they don’t already presuppose? If someone accepts one position this person acts like the position is true. If I believe the Bible is the word of God I believe that all the written words of the Bible are part of what God wanted us to know, all the words are important if the Bible is infalliblle. About that other quote I never said...
Anonymous asked: “God has foreordained some people to murder.” is not from the Bible, I was quoting from you. YOU said it. About the cats: The "I like cats. But I was just joking." it's like two halves of the same sentence, for me. If I had read that in the Bible or other text I would have never quoted only "I love cats". There is no passage that says that murder and abortion...

“The human heart is a factory for idols.”
– John Calvin
When you consciously go back to your former sin, you are proclaiming verbally and physically that your way is more profitable than Gods way. Thus negating His word and substituting your depravity.
Absolute Reason
Without God being the absolute source of reason, your’s is merely the by-product of chemical reactions. This is to say that you cannot be absolute in anything you posit because your own molecular commodity presupposes the validity of your molecular commodity; or in simpler terms your circular logic is non-logic and self-refuting.
This position in and of itself proves the validity of the...

Anonymous asked: If you write “I like cats when they’re dead.” and I quote "I like cats" I am cutting the sentence. It is unlikely that you write "I like cats." as a complete sentence in a text about how much you hate cats... it means that you are confusing in your writings and confused yourself. And so from the Bible I quoted a complete sentence. "God has foreordained...

Anonymous asked: Isn't the verse about life and so even the end of life?The verse itself talks about life and it doesn't say "this verse is only referred to some things but not to other ones". And yes, maybe murder is still murder but without the murderer who would kill the man/woman that God programmed to die on that day?

: Cup of God →
whollynew:
Jesus Christ was said to have to undergo a baptism and drink from the cup the Father gave Him, and then that the disciples would also partake of such.
The cup of suffering and the baptism that Christ must undergo was the cup of the fury of God the Father against the sin He bore in His flesh, and…
Righteousness
I had this presupposed view of righteousness that was wrong. I always thought it meant to do the right thing and in some sense it does. But the very essence of the Greek word used in Romans 1:17 is justice in the sight of God. The good news of God is the justice of God on display!

DUDE! I’m reading this book! So good. (:
I hope to get it with my next paycheck!
Greg Bahnsen
The unbeliever opposes the Christian faith with a whole, antithetical system of thought-not simply with piecemeal criticisms. His attack is aimed not merely at certain random points of Christian teaching, but at its foundation. The particular criticisms utilized by the unbeliever rest upon basic key assumptions which unify and inform his thinking. It is this presuppositional root which the...

Anonymous asked: "You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your book!" [Psalm 139:16] - this means that murder and abortion shouldn't be a crime because that person/fetus was going to die on that day anyway!

Truth
All truth is absolute. This is not to say that all truth is unchanging, fixed or unconditional. That would be a false interpretation of the word “absolute.” There are truths that change and truths that don’t change. All are absolute. Those that change are true in regards to changing realities. For example, it is true that I am laying in my bed. However, this will change and the...

Not only that, but I was NOT a human being while in the womb. I was just a fetus.
What then defines a human being?
