Frames of Reference

For some reason, atheists aren’t happy unless they convert religious people to their dogma. Why? I don’t know, but they frequently display intolerance, expressing a deep conviction to win converts to the religion of atheism.

With all the debate over health-care, what’s really going on behind the scenes? You sure won’t find out watching CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, or CNN. One of the sticking issues remains abortion — should the Federal government pay for it? The two sides have been arguing back and forth, but recently the mask has come off the pro-abortion side, revealing what they really want.

The Bible translation debate continues to create questions — how do you pick a translation to use? Are they really different?

Atheists frequently don’t recognize contradictions while attempting to defend the logical inconsistencies created by atheism. Atheists claim there is no God; after the statement is made (usually as an unproven “fact”), and the logical contradictions of that statement are pointed out to them, instead of admitting they made an error they go to great lengths to disavow the problem.

Errors in logic must be avoided if you wish to have an open mind and use critical thinking. This of course means you must be open to all possibilities, forming opinions based on logic and analysis instead of preconceived ideas; confirmation bias can arise during analysis by making assumptions based on what you want to see, instead of evidence and logical deduction.

Carl Sagan provides many quotes loved by both atheists and evolutionists in an attempt to demonstrate the absurdity of God and religion in general. Yet Sagan himself also demonstrates how absurd his position was, as he contradicts his own idea.

Originally Presidents Day was known as Washington’s birthday, but later Lincoln was added to the mix. As usual, Congress messed with what was known as Washington’s birthday to help create the confusion. But in any event, President’s Day honors Washington and Lincoln.

In Justice by Alan Sears describes a story similar to Orwell’s “1984”, but relating to first amendment freedoms, specifically religious freedoms. This issue remains at the forefront today, whether it’s speaking on your beliefs, religious displays, so-called “hate speech”, and more. The book considers what might happen if today’s politically correct movement continues to grow.

The church founded by Robert Schuller canceled it’s famous “Glory of Easter” production due to rough economic times.

Are you confident of where your pastor stands? They can speak all the right words and still reject the major beliefs of Christianity - leaving nothing more than church potlucks and philosophy.

Don’t accept someones point of view just because they have the title “pastor” after them. In this case, an atheist has a better understanding of the gospel than the pastor they’re speaking to.

Christians should not only be above reproach in actions, but appearance as well. What does it say when a group begs for money? Even if the need is sincere, the appearance from such actions causes problems - the stereotypical image of a TV preacher not generally being good.

If God exists, why do bad things happen? Why does evil exit in the world?

Multi-dimensional spaces from the Bible’s point of view and what occurs in those dimensions. How to pick up and use the armor God provides us in Ephesians 6.

According to atheist morality, morals are not absolute but shift with society. Why then do atheists protest over Christmas displays, when society overwhelmingly approves of them? Atheists don’t appear to follow their own moral view.

Debate rages on the length of God’s creation. Was it six 24 periods, or billions of years? The answer won’t be found in Genesis, but Exodus.

Some raise concerns over The Manhattan Declaration. Consider two issues raised and examine them to understand the underlying problems and errors resulting from faulty analysis of the Biblical text.

If one person in a marriage lives a strict legalistic lifestyle and not be grace, how can the other spouse handle the situation?

Without any absolute reference, where does the atheist obtain their morality? Do they have any? Or does it depend on each person individually?

Another wave flows through the church, this time the Manhattan Declaration. But does it have any real benefits, and should a Christian be involved?

Attempts by atheists to justify their dogma always come up short, as claiming “There is no God” is a logical absurdity. Another attempt fails - see if you can spot the error as an exercise in critical thinking before reading the answer.

Roles of women in the church and spiritual gifts remain two issues causing problems in today’s church, just as it did at Corinth. But this needs not be so if we make a careful examination of Paul’s teaching in chapters 11 and 12 of 1 Corinthians and simply seek to see what the text says plainly.

How involved should a Christian be involved in politics? What methods should you use to determine your vote or other political involvement?

Do you struggle with finding news and information? With all the different source, wouldn’t it be easy if news could be compiled into an easy to use all-at-once source? Say no more, we’ve done it for you! Take a look…

Different news stores which appear unrelated often yield connections when placed next to each other. What do wild rants from a Congressman in Florida have to do with an attack and rape on a high school student across the country?
