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)

If those folks are Christians, and if they die as martyrs for the Christian faith, then God did have a wonderful plan for their lives. Rev. 2:10 suggests that there is a special reward called the "crown of life" for those who die for the sake and testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Right on.
But let's be real. When that type of message is preached today, it is not referring to eternal life. Therefore, we are selling a false bill of good.
Nom nom nom.

Anton,
Thanks for the videos...; however, they neither address the issue of the post (which discusses the fallacious claims of the "health and wealth" gospel, nor do these events disprove the biblical account.
Appears more like the crackling of thorns under a pot, but let me encourage you to see what the writer of Ecclesiastes says about that.

You're right. It's understood that your point is the same point of the picture. The Four Spiritual Laws isn't complete in that sense. It can (and often does) leave the impression that when we accept Christ as Lord and Savior that from then on our lives will become problem free.
