The session was only an hour in length, so my goal was to present a thumbnail sketch of current scholarship surrounding the life, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Christians need to be aware that the outside world does not understand the most basic of things when it comes to the spiritual world. Those eyes have been blinded and therefore they are incapable of comprehending things believers take for granted. In order to understand exactly where these misunderstandings or misconceptions lie, we must listen [...]]]></description>

Even some fairly interesting theology shuffling around in there. I prayed on it a bit and thought it over and after a while I decided perhaps LOVE [...]]]></description>

A.Now comes the difficult part, as Chesterton said; to put all these things down. It would take a book that others have written(1), so I suggest you read those and I will say only this:
When one knows something so completely and believes it so fundamentally, it is more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are the existence of God and the presence of evil mutually exclusive?  Does the death and suffering we witness in the world around us every day somehow speak against God?  In these posts I argue that not only is it possible for God to have a morally sound reason for allowing suffering, but without God evil could not even be said to exist.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Do you have any tips for finding a good church?&#8221;
Short Answer:
Well, there is only ONE church, as stated in the Apostles’ Creed, “sanctam Ecclesiam catholicam” or “the holy catholic church,” that is, eternal and universal. The gathering of the people of God throughout time and space. When you profess faith in Christ, as the Apostles’ [...]]]></description>

It’s not that Young makes The Father figure of the Trinity into a black woman that reeks of blasphemy, but that he makes Him into anything at all. We create graven images when we do such; we must allow God [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Question
Short answer: No.
Longer answer:  No. At least, probably not. We have an idea that He may have been born sometime in the late Spring or early Summer given the likely time of the census. But we really have no idea. A lawyer in the States using astronomy software probably (at least in my book) found [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["Why it is necessary that we be able to choose evil for us to have free will, while it is not necessary that God be able to choose evil for Him to have free will?" was the actual question.
For starters, I must admit my limits and refer my readers (all one of me) to Lewis or Augustine, Bonhoeffer or Athanasius for a detailed answer. Dr. Craig is certainly well thought out, but I always like to think things through myself.

Short answer: Good is defined by who God is, His very nature. Evil is turning from or disobeying God, and as we are like but separate entities, we have that choice. A choice that God does not have. God cannot turn from Himself, though He may do as He pleases.]]></description>
