I just cashed in the 50 dollar Facebook advertising credit from GoDaddy, hopefully it will bring more people here. I added a few lists of bible verses to the main site: Homosexuality and Melchizedek (no, they aren’t immediately related). Those come in handy when you just want raw information, I hope to add more lists of verses and other information which might be useful (feel free to drop suggestions in the comment box below).
It is always a disappointment when a public figure goes against their morals, cheats, lies, steals. It is worse when they get away with it like it never happened. Jennifer Knapp has come out of the closet and (for those biblically minded) has gone against her morals. On Christianity Today’s website she was interviewed by Mark Moring. Mark asked her about what the scriptures have to say on the topic of homosexuality, her answer is quoted below. Read it and ask yourself what mindset must she be in to interpret the Bible the way she does. Moring asks:
What about what Scripture says on the topic? Continue reading

Just heard through the grapevine that Antony Flew died. Check out the Telegraph article. Flew’s half-conversion in 2004 was met with mixed acceptance in the evangelical community. Champions of Aquinas and the traditional proofs of God’s existence saw confirmation in Flew’s allowance for the possibility of God’s existence. Craig Hazen, professor of comparative religion at Biola University commented,
His change of mind is significant news, not only about his personal journey, but also about the persuasive power of the arguments modern theists have been using to challenge atheistic naturalism.
There may be some truth to this statement, you can read the interview between Gary Habermas and Flew on the link above or in PDF. As a presuppositionalist I do not feel I would be alone in pointing out the ultimate failure of those arguments in the case of Flew. To be sure, they were strong enough to alter the worldview of a hard-hearted atheist late in his life (a time when such a change of mind would be unexpected), so we can give credit to whom credit is due. But I would pose the question to those who hold to the apologetic that “converted” Flew: Right now, is Antony Flew in heaven?
Did the apologetic which altered Flew’s thinking convince him of the bodily resurrection of Christ from the dead? The existence of the triune God? Salvation by grace through faith? How much of the Biblical presentation of God, man, the universe, etc could Flew sign his name on?

POST IS GONE!
sorry!
Nothing really exciting to report today. I just created a contact page. In case you didn’t know you can email me at eyeonapologetics@gmail.com. At this stage in the website, if your email is relevant to apologetics, theology or evangelism I will probably write back.
My entry to the Apologetics315 essay series will be featured on the Apologetics315 blog on April 27th. In my essay I will defend the following syllogism:
Brian Auten made some valuable suggestions in the editing process and I am sure the essay is better off for it. Check out his site for the essays being published throughout the month of April. I will link to mine as soon as it is available.
Hey again! Slowly but surely the site is coming along. I just finished an outline of the book of Genesis. 1 down 65 to go. Hopefully someone out there will find it useful, that’s all I ask. Get into the Bible and study it. Learn about God. Some day this website is going to be FULL of great Bible info! Keep reading!
