I must confess I was not quite getting the point you were making. <br /><br />- I agree with William Lane Craig that the anchor of morality is based on God's eternal good nature. If there is no moral anchor then there will be some form of moral relativism, very weak systems based merely on subjective preferences and trends.<br /><br />Because God is necessarily the greatest being, logically, God is a good being. Stephen Law's Evil God Challenge misses the mark for a number of reasons. For one, it focuses on one characteristic of God and thus creates a straw-man God to knock down. You can read about it at the following link:<br /><br />http://templestream.blogspot.com/2012/04/stephen-law-austin-cline-and-ukrainian.html<br /><br />I'm glad you have a friend who is a Christian and one that you like. While many Christians try to do their best to be good and set good examples, please understand that we are not perfect and have many faults. One of the main ideas of Christianity is that there is a differentiation between salvation and sanctification. Though a person may be "born again" seemingly instantaneously, the process of sanctification, becoming more like God, will not be fully complete in this lifetime. We are saved and changed only by the grace of God.Rick Wardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09689451026838986088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1645439856635422478.post-13801139873328398522013-08-26T19:15:40.295-07:002013-08-26T19:15:40.295-07:00I know one of these 1 in 7 Christians.

After going over your last post in response to me he and I had a discussion about what you meant by god's eternal nature. I must confess I was not quite getting the point you were making. Well when I get more time I will write about that. However I must contemplate the ideas for a while. Anyway just wanted to say Jay is a good person as judged by his behaviour. He is not a bigot or any of the other negative stereo types that pop culture has come to associate with Christians. I suppose you could say as much as any man can live the example set he does.Justin Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17804641315202800289noreply@blogger.com
