While many in the church today, who having bitten off the principles of the world rather than swallowing the word of God, fail to recognize it, the truth remains that CHRISTIAN SKEPTICISM is not only our great heritage and long standing tradition, but also our Christian calling! (Swordbearer: Christian Skepticism – Our Great Heritage and Calling; July 07)
The key is how the different schools of thought withstand internal critique. Naturalism struggles with internal critique, because it is inductive by nature. Any of its conclusions can be viewed with skepticism, because we can never examine all the evidence in all relationships in all senses. It further refuses to admit to its own metaphysical components. For example, how can the naturalist prove the laws of logic by use of the scientific method, without being viciously circular? It is a metaphysical assumption held to by a groundless faith.

If you say that God is “unnecessary in everything we know about”, how do you know that? Do you know “everything we know about”? Who are “we”? How did you come to know the meaning of the word “be”? You said that you don’t know where the universe comes from. How does that remove the necessity for God? At the very least, it is equally an explanation as any other if you don’t know. So then God is not removed from everything we know about, since the universe had to come into existence in order to exist. (Puritan Lad: Team CS and the clash of the worldviews!; July 07)
You mean to say that you actually have evidence that the universe wasn’t created? That would be monumental. Can you point us to this evidence? (Puritan Lad: Team CS and the clash of the worldviews!; July 07)

Has she seen a doctor yet? Thos seizures could be a sign of something serious :)
Actually, I came from a similar background. Been there, done that (well, not exactly that). Thank God for Reformation.
That was weird. I mean... none of those men on the dais had ties on.
Seriously... being somewhat familiar with the medical profession I would initially diagnose that as a severe case of tourette's syndrome.
Do we live in the dark ages or what?
Interesting how only the head (and at other times the alternate hand) shakes, but the hand needed to hold the microphone was was not affected. Also interesting how when the lady needed to turn the page of Scripture, she was able to control it all so that she could read...
Besides all this, the man applies a portion of Scripture referring to Christ to the one on the floor. It is CHRIST, not man, whom God has set "above his companions."!
This is Baloney! The only outcome of this rather than deception, foolishness, and lack of discerning minds, is that the lady will probably have a pretty sore neck the following few days!
Thanks for posting this...Wow!
It appears to me to be a manifestation of Kundalini. Tremors, shakes, swaying and other general spontaneous bodily movements are a common element of Kundalini phenomena, which are found universally amongst all cultures and contexts, although unfortunately they're often misunderstood. Unfortunately, Atheists will generally seek a purely biological cause and often Christians will assume that it is something evil. Whilst, there are genuine cases of people being possessed by lower entities, most often these cases are a sudden release of vital energy which often take unusual physical form. Coming from an evangelical background, I've seen alot of this stuff.
