Sermons from London at Trinity Road Chapel

James White has posted links to the sermons he gave today in England at Trinity Road Chapel. He writes:

I spoke on the historicity of the crucifixion in the morning service, and was asked, specifically, to revisit Romans 9 for the congregation Sunday evening. Here is the download page from Trinity Road Chapel. The Romans 9 presentation, while similar to last Sunday evenings, includes a refutation of "equal ultimacy" as well (which would not have been helpful in the preceding weeks' context).

Sunday Quote: Ravi Zacharias on Jesus - Apologetics 315

Brian Auten posted this great quote:

"The character of Jesus has not only been the highest pattern of virtue, but the strongest incentive in its practice, and has exerted so deep an influence, that it may be truly said that the simple record of three years of active life has done more to regenerate and to soften mankind than all the disquisitions of philosophers and all the exhortations of moralists."

- Ravi Zacharias, Jesus Among Other Gods, p. 4

FacePalm of the Day #58 - Debunking Christianity: Quote of the Day

John Loftus posted the following today:

For a religious faith to pass the Outsider Test for Faith (OTF) it must be justified by the sciences. Period. If believers reject the sciences as a way to know the truth then let them propose a better alternative. So if the OTF is to be rejected, what do we put in its place? What’s the alternative?

Loftus again seems to assert that science is the a way to know truth as if Christians reject science as a way to know truth. Here is the heart of the problem I have with his "argument": I'd like to see a single good example of science contradicting something the Bible says - not what some folks over time have misinterpreted the Bible to say. He and others seem to assert that the Bible contradicts science and history and then when pressed don't produce any reasonable proof that there is contention between the Bible and reason. The bottom line is science cannot rule out miracles. Since it can't rule out miracles, science cannot be the only justification for true conclusions about reality. What else is there? God. If you have no guarantee that your reasoning powers and thought processes are reliable (and why should you, given how fallible you are), what else do you have?
