Norman Geisler vs RC Sproul - Free Will vs God's Sovereignty

I do not agree with everything Dr. Geisler says in this video but I know it's worth sharing. It's interesting. I read his book Chosen But Free but he was unable to convince me that humans have complete total free will when it comes to accepting salvation. I used to think that. I used to think that a person who chooses to reject Christ is just just more stupid than I. This is not true. I can't believe I was ever so stupid to think that. Geisler's book is a response to Dr. RC Sproul's book Chosen By God (which I still need to read). I did read Dr. James White's book The Potter's Freedom. I'm planning to write a more substantial post detailing what I've learned. For now here is Dr. Geisler lecturing on Calvinism.

Here is RC Sproul lecturing on the material he presented in Chosen By God




Here is the lecture by Norman Geisler on the material in which he used in Chosen But Free and it's call "Why I am not a 5 point Calvinist".




I really wish Dr Geisler would either debate Dr White or Dr Sproul on this subject.

Too Much Time?

I have seen a video on YouTube where someone made a life-size (and I assume working) Batmobile! I'm torn in opinion. On one hand, I think that dude had too much time on his hands! On the other, I think it's really, really cool!


What?!! The Earth Is Flat?

Many Atheist criticize Christianity because of the persecutions of Galileo and other scientists during the Renaissance for announcing that the earth is round. They tell us that the Bible is unreliable and stifles science because the religious leaders who considered the idea of a round earth being an anathema based on what the Bible says. No where in the entire Bible does it say that the earth is flat! Those people said that because of their own cultural biases. They did not want to admit that they were wrong. Today, I don't think that you will be able to find a Christian try to assert a flat earth. What about Islam? James White has posted a video from YouTube where a Muslim scholar defends the Islamic teaching of a flat earth! I'm shocked. The man is from a school of interpreting the Koran in such a way that it cannot be wrong! Even if it is wrong compared to everyone else you know to be true. That's scary!
