One of our members started a now closed thread arguing why he believes that Atheism can account for objective morality.

This is a good discussion to have, and I appreciate his willingness to argue an opinion on the topic although I disagree with him.
To recap: He was responding to a classic argument for God's existence which is commonly constructed thusly:

1.) If God does not exist objective moral truths do not exist
2.) Objective moral truths do exist
3.) Therefore, God exists.

Thought I would pass along that my pastor has started a new Bible study series on Sunday mornings on the book of the Ephesians. The first lesson was this past Sunday.

Introduction To Ephesians

Would you be involved in this organization?

Romans 3:10-12
as it is written:
“THERE IS NO RIGHTEOUS PERSON, NOT EVEN ONE;
THERE IS NO ONE WHO UNDERSTANDS,
THERE IS NO ONE WHO SEEKS OUT GOD;
THEY HAVE ALL TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME CORRUPT;
THERE IS NO ONE WHO DOES GOOD,
THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE.”

Romans 3:11 makes this statement and some read this as saying "there is none who seeks out God at any time." However the intended contextual message might be "there is none who seeks for God all the time,. Or, option three,...

It is common for Christians to argue "without God, there are no objective moral values." But this is false and unbiblical, and in fact requires a morally relativistic and morally subjective definition of morality.

The statement "without God, there are not objective moral values" comes from a theory of morality called "Divine Command Theory." This says that evil behavior X is wrong because God says it is wrong and has promised to punish X. But the Bible, from Genesis 1 onwards, teaches...

In systematic theology, anthropology is the branch that deals with us humans. There are multiple reasons taught us by anthropology that ensure that AI can never really replace any human who ministers for the Lord Jesus Christ. Here are just a few reasons.

1. An AI program does not have a soul, which is given by God at conception.
2. An AI program cannot be spiritual, since that requires a spirit and an AI program cannot have a spirit.
3. God created us humans, and then us humans created AI....

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Rev 12:9
For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 1 Tim 2:13,14
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired [lusted after] to make one wise, she took of the...

Here are the typical questions used to defend a mistaken view of the Good News.
If Christ ransomed all mankind, why is all mankind not saved?
If He was purchased all mankind, why is all mankind not saved.?
If God is propitiated towards all men, what does He still have against them?
If all men have been redeemed, why is all mankind not saved?
If God is reconciled to all men, why do we need to beg for people to be reconcilied?
If only those placed in Christ are saved, what is the criteria for...

God’s promise to Abraham (formerly Abram) is the reversal of Adam’s curse, and sets up the narrative drive for the whole Biblical storyline.

Genesis 12:1-3

Now the Lord said to Abram,
“Go forth from your country,
And from your relatives
And from your father’s house,
To the land which I will show you;
And I will make you a great nation,
And I will bless you,
And make your name great;
And so you shall be a blessing;
And I will bless those who bless you,
And the one who curses you I will...

When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings.

When Adam and Eve sinned, they infected creation with perversion, corruption, and destruction, all prior to any...
