One apologists burden 2008-06-27 10:25:58 I found a really good post that might help Christians who find themselves in a debate with an Atheist. Go to The Christian Scribbler to read what he has to say. His post is indeed worth your time.

“Couldn’t God Have Used Evolution?” 2008-06-26 16:16:28 “The real issue is one of authority—is God’s Word the authority, or is man’s word the authority? So, couldn’t God have used evolution to create? The answer is No. A belief in millions of years of evolution not only contradicts the clear teaching of Genesis and the rest of Scripture but also impugns the character [...] Read more:Evolution
“Human Evolution–Faster than a Speeding Bullet” 2008-06-25 09:14:27 To see the whole story click on source quote at the end of the post.
“Harpending, one of the paper’s authors, states, ‘[genetic differences among humans] cannot be used to justify discrimination. Rights in the Constitution aren’t predicated on utter equality. People have rights and should have opportunities whatever their group.’ Agreed, but what is the [...] Read more:Evolution

Quotes (6) 2008-06-23 17:00:42 “Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

My conversation with an AntiChristian 2008-06-22 16:36:37 This is my conversion with a man who calls himself the “AntiChristian.” It is painfully obvious that he is bitter toward the Christian community and really for good reason. Though it is not the fault of those who are true Christians. There are those today and throughout history who have done their [...]
Christianity Stands True 2008-06-22 13:31:48 “Dr. Lynn Gardner provides a solid, yet very readable defense of the Christian faith. In this great study you will find solid evidence that will give confidence to your faith.
A skeptic taunted a Christian, ‘Believers are touchy and offended when asked if they believe in Christianity
because the awkward truth is that they have no [...]
Quotes (5) 2008-06-22 06:51:10 “I don’t believe in reincarnation because there’s an expert on this question, and he’s Jesus of Nazareth. He’s the only person in history who died, rose from the dead, and spoke authoritatively on this question. And Jesus says reincarnation doesn’t happen. He says that there’s only one death and after that comes the judgment.” ~Lee [...] Read more:Quotes

THE AMOEBA AND COL 3:22 - 23 (BBE) 2008-07-12 06:43:02 Col 3:22 -23 (BBE)
22 Servants, in all things do the orders of your natural masters; not only when their eyes are on you, as pleasers of men, but with all your heart, fearing the Lord: 23 Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord, and not to men.
I’m beginning to realize that the [...]
Jesus touched a leper 2008-07-11 22:39:19 “But what had lasting significance were not the miracles themselves but Jesus
’ love. Jesus raised his friend Lazarus from the dead, and a few years later, Lazarus died again. Jesus healed the sick, but eventually caught some other disease. He fed the ten thousands, and the next day they were hungry again. But we remember [...]

Love-Judgement-Jesus 2008-07-11 15:37:50 This is obviously a jab at the Emergent group. I have to be honest I do not know that much about this group of believers even though I have been accused of being one. I follow after Jesus
so call me what you will.
What is the motivation for all this hate? Is it [...]
Source of Anxiety 2008-07-11 09:42:14 “Earthly possessions dazzle our eyes and delude us into thinking that they can provide security and freedom from anxiety. Yet all the time they are the very source of anxiety.” ~Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Tarnished Image Renewed 2008-07-10 17:07:18 Get Lost! That is basically what the note said on the door when I returned home yesterday. My wife and I were out of the country for 6 weeks sharing Jesus with some Europeans. A person wouldn’t think that a lot could happen in that little amount of time but it can [...] Read more:Image

12 Steps to Humility 2008-07-06 10:30:00 “The first step of humility… is that a man keeps the fear of God always before his eyes (Ps 36:2) and never forgets it…The second step of humility is that a man loves not his own will nor takes pleasure in the satisfaction of his desires; rather he shall imitate by his actions that saying [...] Read more:Humility
Flowers for an Atheist 2008-07-28 21:02:44 “A Christian once asked an atheist, with whom he took a walk through the meadows, ‘Who made all these beautiful flowers?’ ’Forget it!’ was the answer. ’Do not come again with your stupid talk about God. The flowers exist by themselves.’ The Christian did not persist. After a few days, he was visited by the [...] Read more:Flowers

Round 2 or 3 2008-07-27 21:50:47 First, Antichristian can I call you “John”? It’s a lot shorter than antichristian and easier to type. :-) Second, thank you for an enjoyable debate. Third, as you can see I have taken the time to read your post and most of your links. Hopefully you will do the same. Here are my responses to [...]
Progressive Sanctification 2008-07-27 13:19:21 Phil 1:6 (ASV) being confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Jesus Christ.

No 12 Step Program 2008-07-25 01:14:20 It seems like life would just get better with 12 steps. There always seems to be 12 of them, why is that? Life would get better if I could get that six pack, which is hard to do if you prefer to down yours. Not that I have anything against alcohol, except [...] Read more:Program
I’ll be back! 2008-07-24 19:04:30 I am having some issues with work. I have an elderly lady going into the last stage of Alzheimer’s Disease. I’ll probably be back fairly soon. For those who believe in prayer, please do pray. For those who do not-please have good thoughts.

Time Alone with God 2008-07-23 18:43:47 Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere. Ps. 84:10 I was reading my Jesus Calling devotional by Sarah Young. I really love this book, about enjoying peace in Jesus’ Presence:
“Spending time alone with Me is essential for your well-being. It is not a luxury or an option…do not feel guilty about [...]
And so does everybody else 2008-07-22 01:07:46 “When we worship God we worship a Being our life experience does not give us the tools with which to understand. If we could, God would not inspire awe. Eternity, for example, is not something the human mind can understand. We may be able to wrap our heads around living forever (and [...]
Secular References and logical conclusions 2008-07-21 21:18:03 You say there are very few secular references to Jesus as a historical figure:
