Substitutionary Atonement
Recently I was listening to some atheists discussing their concerns
regarding the idea of the substitutionary atonement of Christ.
Basically, that’s just a big, fancy term for the fact that Jesus
died for our sins. Nothing more complicated than that. Here is the
misunderstanding that I heard based on how the conversation went.
They don’t get how someone else can be punished in our place. If we
are the ones who have sinned, then someone else should not be
punished. The analogy that they used was a big brother getting
punished for the fact that the little brother did something wrong.
Omniscience vs. Free Will
In a recent atheist podcast that I subscribe to, the hosts were
discussing the idea of the omniscience of God and how this somehow
contradicts the idea of free will. Their argument was basically
that, if God already knows what you’re going to do and the things
you or I will choose before you do so, then you and I have not
choice but to make that choice.
Extraordinary Events
If I had a nickel for every time I heard a non-believer claim that
“extraordinary events require extraordinary evidence” I would be
independently wealthy. The irony of this is that usually it’s the
people who claim to be the most intellectually honest. In fact,
these are the group who are quick to cast dispersions on Christians
(or other theists) for committing the very crime for which they
themselves are guilty.
Who Designed the Designer? Originally, I had wanted to write something about a quote that I
had read from Richard Dawkins where he said something to the effect
that, by all outward appearances, if we didn’t know any better, it
looks like life is the product of design. I couldn’t find that
quote, however, but instead found a large number of hits for a
different quote from Dawkins. He was quoted as asking some variation
of the question, “Who designed the designer?” This is his refutation
of the Intelligent Design theory (ID). In some sense, I find this
quote almost as absurd as the one that I was looking for in the
first place.

Christianity is a religion of rescue. It is designed for the
desperate. It is for people who have a craving for something more than they
can eke out of life by themselves. [Walter

Love is an action, not a feeling. Love is a choice. In fact, love is a

if the home inside is held steady by parents whose character is steady.
