We wanted to highlight this compilation by Paul Manata - The Philosophy of thePowerful Video...
... as the world begins to see more (including the faces) of the truths and practices of the Muslim world, it's going to open eyes (and hearts)!

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)

It is high time that Christians realize and openly proclaim that Islam is a false religion and Allah is a false God. Our tolerance for freedom of religion does not mean we have to validate false religions or Gods. To the contrary we have the freedom to denounce false Gods and false religions.
Not to rain on anybodie's but this girl's entire family has (predictblly) denied all the aligations she's made not to mention the pastor she is curentlly living with Blake Lorenz founded his church becuse of "personal revelation" he recived from God none of the options here are good ether this girl's family is defending a psychopath or she is being used as a "football" Lorenz this could just end up like the Ashley Smith thing from a few years back but who knows.

We don't know at this point (as we don't have all the details), but that doesn't negate the reality and sinfulness of Islamic threats and "honor killings"... or the adoption of many Muslims that it's okay "to lie" if in the "interest" of their prophet and God.
Aaron,
I have not followed this case and don't know the details, but I have no trust in Time magazine. I would have to verify anything they said from a more reliable source.
