The church is always God hung between two thieves. Thus no one should be surprised or shocked at how badly the church has betrayed the gospel and how much it continues to do so today. It has never done very well. Conversely, however, nobody should deny the good the church has done either. It has...
A great barrier to anyone exercising faith is that they cannot accept a good God would allow so much suffering on earth. And by remaining in dissent they often refuse to consider all that has been manifested in history which cries out the God of Abraham is God. To many, these troubling affairs...
This very lengthy post is in response to Protestant objections in the very long thread Why does my God allow children to die? I prefer to address it here. Now many unbelievers of all stripes may reject the Judeo-Christian G-d out of hand, or any veracity of the Bible. I accept that...

The poster arcanum made this comment in another thread:
I think it was Swedenborg who pretty much said that one's particular state of being determines one's afterlife. I've heard someone describe it like this: Let's take for example a dark seedy bar, nobody forces anyone to stay there, people...
This article reiterates what so many others have said before it. Basically it is saying life is an absolute impossibility without an intelligent designer. Period.
The counter argument is not then who created God? because that has nothing to do with the argument that we were created by...
There have been countless stories about Padre Pio over 50 years or more and some of the witnesses are still alive today who testified to something marvelous. So I am trying to imagine what had to be taking place if all these stories were untrue and Padre Pio has no spiritual gifts at all? It...
Dr. George Rodonaia held an M.D. and a Ph.D. in neuropathology in the Soviet Union. In 1976 he was run over on the street by a KGB agent and pronounced dead. He lied in a morgue freezer for three days until the knife opening him up during an autopsy awakened him. Dr. Rodonaia had much to say to...
If you are not aware of the history of the famous image of Our Lady of Guadalupe it is readily available. It occurred in 1531 in Mexico. A peasant, Juan Diego, receiving apparitions of the Virgin Mary was instructed to visit the local bishop with a message. He kept being refused until Our Lady...
'Afterlife' feels 'even more real than real,' researcher says - CNN.com
Kind of bland in some ways, from my point of view. It’s about doctors who are experts on NDEs telling us of their findings and beliefs. But I merely wanted to comment on one paragraph only in the article. As follows...

I hear it from all sides, there is no empirical evidence for God. And I have addressed that in a myriad of ways including matters such as below. The first anecdote is from the voice mail greeting on the Denver theatre’s killer’s phone. Is there a demonic connection? For me, I surely...
I havent been to this website for long while and I really doubt I will find the time to entertain myself here, once again. But the only point I want to make is this: The vast majority of posters are agnostics or atheists, or doubters of another stripe not here to acknowledge a good point or...
