DavidM wrote a new Website post: What is the Gospel?

Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:35:30 +0000

DavidM wrote a new Website post: What is the Gospel? Gospel technically means nothing more than "good news". The Bible teaches that the Gospel, the good news, is completely centered on a historical person, the person of Jesus the Messiah, or Jesus Christ. The teaching has it's focal point on a few key phrases as follows.

"Repent and believe." "Believe and be saved."

These phrases provide [...]

DavidM started the forum topic What is the meaning of life? in the group Questions and Answers

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 07:27:39 +0000

DavidM started the forum topic What is the meaning of life? in the group Questions and Answers: I'll be using the term ‘meaning’ in a way synonymous with ‘purpose’ so that meaning and purpose mean the same thing. Hopefully this will only add clarity to what many people find to be a confounding question. Ultimately, the meaning and purpose of life is to glorify God, the creator and sovereign of this world.

Tue, 18 May 2010 00:41:19 +0000

DavidM commented on the Website post 10-24-2008-Lack of belief in God Ironically, this post came from a spam bot linking to another website. There have been numerous other such spam posts, but I've approved this one to point out the irony of the view behind the post in that it's spam, which is apprehensible to most people, complaining about the apparently apprehensive nature of stated religious [...]

Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:17:54 +0000

DavidM wrote a new Website post: 1-10-2006-All Men are Mortal In regard to the objection that, as it is a universal claim that "all men are mortal", one would have to first have knowledge of every instance of man in order to know that the claim is true, a good counter-objection would be to ask the objector to define "man" without the use of words [...]

Sun, 02 Aug 2009 14:57:02 +0000

DavidM wrote a new Website post: 1-30-2006 - Dependency If the Bible did not teach the absolute dependency of man upon God, how would one come to know this? If man's reason wasn't entirely governed by God, thus rendering man's use of reason completely contingent upon God's sovereign guidance, how would one come to reason whether this is true or not? When pondering the [...]

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 16:27:32 +0000

DavidM wrote a new Website post: 7-15-2009-Base assumptions Many people assume that if God is to punish man for his choices then God is unrighteous if He does not grant to man that same nature of choice that He possesses, that choice which nothing higher governs. What is the basis for this assumption? I will argue that this is a base assumption for [...]

DavidM wrote a new Website post: 2-8-2009-Leaving Las Vegas In Vegas, I began having intense dreams where I became enraged at people doing violence to other people. Sometimes the dreams would be a depiction of an event where a man would be attempting to rape and kill a woman and I would see it occuring and became unspeakably angry and that anger would drive [...]

DavidM wrote a new Website post: 12-31-2008-Bridge to Terabithia I watched this movie recently, "Bridge to Terabithia", where a young, roughly 10-year old boy with an affinity for art meets a new girl at school who turns out to be his new next door neighbor. This girl has a rather fantastic imagination involving a land of magic and wonder which begins to influence the boy as [...]

DavidM wrote a new Website post: 10-24-2008-Lack of belief in God Where atheism in the past appears to have been commonly understood as a belief that God or gods do not exist, it is more widely accepted as a definition today to say that atheism is merely a lack of belief that God or gods exist. Many atheists will proceed from this standpoint to say that [...]

DavidM wrote a new Website post: 10-13-2005-Worrying and Calvinism In refutation of Calvinist John Feinberg's essay concerning divine sovereignty and human freedom, Clark Pinnock notes, "God willed whatever happens. It would be irrational to worry about anything in the Calvinist's universe. Just submit to the deterministic will of God!" 1 What wisdom Pinnock speaks of the Calvinist position! Calvinists tend to abide by a standard [...]

DavidM wrote a new Website post: 3-19-2005-Woman In my past experience, people have so often reckoned that I was possessed of homosexual tendencies that it had made the weight of my most dire sins far more burdensome than necessary. I so intensely suppressed my sinful lusts for women that people constantly assumed that I was gay. At times when I allowed myself [...]

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 02:28:59 +0000

DavidM wrote a new Website post: 7-30-2005-Examining the Unbeliever I've quite often seen believers make assumptions that unbelievers are more sincere and honest than they may actually be. We should always excercise caution in dealings with unbelievers, for they are at enmity with God and thus, there is some degree to which they have lied in their hearts, saying that God is not who [...]

DavidM wrote a new Website post: 7-6-2006-Tithing I'm giving $40 for offering rather than my typical $20. This is the result of John MacArthur's preaching in "Whose money is it?" I trust his work and I know that God has shown me what I need to do with my money. This new giving will thrust me into even more dire financial strain, [...]

DavidM wrote a new Website post: 8-16-2006-Christianity, intimate relationships and expectations In the world outside of my Christian world, men and women have intimate affairs outside of marriage, dating with the purpose of fulfilling some strange desire for intimacy which conflicts with their desire to remain single and free. It conflicts perhaps without their full recognition of the conflict, but the conflict easily manifests itself in [...]

DavidM wrote a new Website post: 3-7-2007-The author of sin In the chat room I frequent, there's been some discussion centered on God's sovereignty and the authorship of sin. If God is the cause of all that occurs, they say, He then is the author of sin. If He controls everything and has predetermined everything, they argue, then He is the author of sin. I [...]

DavidM wrote a new Website post: 5-7-2007-Possible worlds It makes no sense to speak of a so-called possible world where there are no logical laws, for such a world would preclude the concept of possibility by which to call it possible. Logical laws which presuppose truth, which God is, are impossible to deny and any so-called possible world which does not presuppose them [...]
