I was recently discussing the justice of the death penalty when the person I was talking with brought up the fact that God didn't have David executed for murdering Uriah the Hittite, nor did He let Saul's involvement in Stephen's stoning, which if it wasn't murder, it was certainly an unjust...

I need some help solving this puzzle. I've fiddled with it for hours and hours and I just cannot figure it out. I've looked online for solutions and it seems to be a quite unique version of this puzzle to the point that there isn't a single example of it anywhere online - until now, of...

The two videos below are, without a doubt, the best videos I have ever seen that deal with Einstein's Theory of Relativity in a manner that does not require the ontological existence of time or space and the difference between physics (ontological) vs. mathematics (epistemological). "It is not...

So, recently I've been active on a couple of other web forums. I won't name them because I strongly suspect that my experience would be the same wherever I went - except for here - and so it doesn't matter which ones they were. There is one site that I posted on yesterday and this morning...

I've not delved much at all into ChatGPT and the little bit I have has been rather uninteresting really. This morning, I woke up early and couldn't go back to sleep and so decided to ask ChatGPT what the word Logos meant. Here's the results.... Clete: What is the best English translation for...

What percentage of Christians believe God predestined this evil world we live in? What percentage of Christians are just blatant hypocrites? What percentage of Christians go to Sunday school class primarily to catch up on everyone's dirty laundry list (a.k.a. prayer requests)? What percentage...

Maybe the bravest comedian alive!

The purpose of this thread is to discuss Bob Enyart's book, The Plot. The book, I believe, is the best theological treatise written since Martin Luther nailed something on the door of a church somewhere. If you have read his book then your participation here is welcome and encouraged. If you...

Super short video says it all. God is good, therefore Calvinism is false...

This thread is intended to collect various questions that Calvinists cannot answer without contradicting their own doctrine. I'll update the list below as new questions are posed. 1. If God is immutable, how did He become a man? (John 1:1 & 14) 2. If a child of innocent age, but not one of the...

The following is an essay written several years ago by a poster here that went by the user name "Lion" (if memory serves me correctly!). He was a member of Bob Enyart's congregation at the time and may still be a member of that church. The point being that I am not the author of what follows but...

I've often thought to myself, "I could make stronger arguments against my own doctrine than I've ever seen anyone make on Theology Online!" and, in fact, I'm sure I've even said so in a post here and there over the years, but I've always avoided doing so because I don't like the idea of handing...

Real Science Radio: One Way Speed of Light Measurement Proposal In this thread I want to discuss the measurement of the one way speed of light, which virtually all physicists will tell you cannot be done. It would probably be a good idea for you to watch the Veritasium YouTube video on the...

The scripture couldn't be clearer on the issue of Jesus having brothers and sisters... Matthew 13: 54 When He [Jesus] had come to His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this Man get this wisdom and these mighty works? 55 Is this...

I posted this a long time ago but it doesn't seem to have survived the software upgrade and so I'm posting it again here. Enjoy! Our Moral God The question of God's morality might, to some, seem a ridiculous question. To some the idea that God might not be moral is so ludicrous a thought that...

The Supreme Court of the United States refused to hear the suit filed by Texas against Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvanian and Wisconsin and they did so without explanation, precedent or right! When a court is THE ONLY court in which a case can be originally brought, that court has no right to...

The following, more or less formal, argument seeks to prove that the doctrine of Exhaustive Divine Foreknowledge cannot be true. I say that it is a "more or less" formal argument only because there are points within it that have not been formally established for the sake of brevity. You can only...

So what happens in such a system when the king hates God and doesn't care about following the law?

First, I should start by giving a brief explanation of what redshift is... Instead of merely looking at the bare light coming from distant objects through telescopes, one of the main techniques astronomers use to study distant celestial objects is to spread that light out into a spectrum. This...

I took a bunch of pictures of the lunar eclipse last night. Here's a few of them. (Click on the images for a larger view.) First one was taken at 02:35 UT (8:35 central time) and is the moment when the Moon first entered the Earth's penumbral shadow. You cannot tell at all! It just looks like...
