Matthew 22:23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and [...]

The problem of evil? Part 4…
Well, I lied. In part 3 I said I would cover free will in this post, but I’m saving it til later. I wanted to discuss another POV that will wind up connecting with free will first. Please do read my other posts on “the problem of evil” here: part 1, 2, 3.

Thanksgiving…
One of the very few holidays I don’t find to be inane. The idea of thanksgiving is so fundamental to the Christian faith, the holiday makes me think on that idea, and hence, I like it.
Once we have met Christ, and have come to have faith in Him, that’s all the reason we will ever [...]

The problem of evil? Part 2…
Please read part 1 to get the general idea of the “problem of evil.” Various philosophers/theologians have offered different “solutions” to the “problem” of evil. In this part, I’m going to explore various proposed solutions…saving Augustin’s view, and free will for a bit later.

The problem of evil? Part 1…
I’ve gone over some of the arguments for the existence of God, now I’m going to turn to the one major philosophical argument against their being of God. Please hang in there with me; I’m doing this in several parts since I’m trying to fight off a lovely illness, and I don’t feel like typing [...]
