Does the God of Christianity exist, and what difference does it make? A Debate

[Zakeet]

A video of a debate held at a leading Christian Book Expo on the topic of the existence of God can be found at THIS LINK.

The panelists are:

• Christopher Hitchens -- an erudite, outspoken atheist

• Lee Strobel -- former atheist who has become a noted Christian apologist.

• William Lane Craig -- Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology

• Douglas Wilson -- Pastor of Christ Church, Moscow Idaho

• Jim Dennison -- Theologian in Residence, Baptist General Convention of Texas

Be advised the video is almost two hours long.

Also be advised it is a fascinating philosophical exchange.

Enjoy

Yes, and depends on how hot you like your surroundings...

It didn't take the "damned to eternal fire if you don't agree with me" crowd to come out.

Thanks for the video link.

Have you noticed how this old world is changing? More than ever now life needs rearranging. It would be heavenly if we all remembered this: The simple things in life are around you everywhere. Right outside your door, why keep reaching for the moon. That hello neighbor smile, will be coming back in style - so will wedding rings and the simple things in life.

There’s life again in lover’s lane and that’s a very good sign. We’re on the track to welcome back a bit of auld angwuine. That hello neighbor smile will be coming back in style - so will wedding rings and the simple things in life.

Amen to that.

It’s not about agreeing or disagreeing with mortal man.

[ejonesie22]

It's not me that needs to be agreed with, I am the least of any ones worries in that regard.

God is amused.

I think that Christianity is alot like a firearm... It is better to have it and not need it, than to need it not have it.

[GunRunner]

It’s about some people people being certain about things which they are clearly uncertain.

[GunRunner]

If a creator exists, I find it unconvincing that disagreement with him is the one and only irredeemable sin.

[Professor_Leonide]

Both sides, right? Otherwise please reread my post up above.

[ejonesie22]

Huh?

I am usually quite certain about things I am certain of...

I am only certain about those things that are certain. "These things are written that you may know that you have eternal life."

And, if it comes to believing you or believing God...it's not even a contest.

[ejonesie22]

Well all sin is redeemable if you make the effort, but oft disagreeing with ones boss is a path to trouble...

[ejonesie22]

Of that I am certain.

Only the God of the Bible says what happens before it happens with accuracy and specificity.

“Allah” does not do this. Men and devils can’t do this. Only God.
