#638 | Why is the trilemma of CS Lewis still being promoted when to Lunatic, Liar and Lord should be added Legend and Credulous? Neither are these categories discrete as seen in overly-enthusiastic fishermen whose fish stories are a mix ofLunatic, Liar, Legend and Credulous, right?
#446 | If evil is simply the absence of goodness as is commonly claimed on STR, how can Jesus have “developed in goodness” as Greg Koukl claims he did without first possessing evil?
#442 | What is the minimum amount of understanding/knowledge about Jesus is required before belief in Jesus becomes efficacious. Prior to redemption, must the believer know anything about the crucifixion, the resurrection, eternal damnation, the sinlessness of Jesus, the humanity of Jesus, etc?
#369 | I’m still looking for a logically coherent calculus of redemption. Which are absolutely necessary to the calculus? 1: degree of torment 2: duration of torment 3: duration of “death” 4: status of being “dead” 5: sins of all humanity 6: degree of God’s love for Jesus 7: ?
#354 | If we assume the Bible is correct when it says “without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins”, had Jesus died without shedding his blood, redemption would not have been possible, right? There is something special about actual bloodshed, right?
#348 | What new evidence did each generation of Christians since Jesus have that made them confident, in spite of the misplaced confidence of the previous generation, it was their generation that would see the 2nd coming? Is the “wars and rumors of wars” passage being abused?
#254 | What are some examples of the “least” commandments of the law Jesus cautioned not to break in Matthew 5:19 under threat of being least in the Kingdom of God? Wearing mixed fabrics? Eating lobster? Or are there even lesser commandments that would make you “least”?
#115 | Why doesn’t the evidence gained while listening to the Gospel not make sinners “only hate Him more” as would happen if Jesus appeared in person as claimed on STRask? Why would a physical appearance evoke more hate than indirect claims of His existence?
#083 | I have heard the killing of Amalekite infants defended by Christians claiming they worship Jesus who would have never ordered those Amalekite infants to be hacked into pieces. Is this heretical in any way since Jesus is, in essence, the very same God giving that order?
#068 | Is there an expiration date for the 2 Peter 2:4 notion that the non-appearance of Jesus would produce scoffers, their existence only reinforcing the certainty Jesus will return? Or was this passage perhaps a clever psychological device to trap believers into prolonged irrational belief?
