Yep there is. The OG is still up and more content coming soon... https://thsconline.github.io/

Its a bit more complex then that. Firstly, the particular context is about roles of "ministry" (or leadership roles) in the church. If you are involved in ministry that would involve subscribing to the values and morals of the church as noted: The standard both in the Sydney (and Armidale)...

Temporarily stickying this post

Your belief system (or may I call insistence) that everything of a human phenomena must be explained by evolution. The existence of belief doesn’t prove God’s existence anymore than the existence of non-belief (or denial) of God’s existence. But that was never an argument I was making. Nope I...

What is the functional difference between 'compelled' and 'want'? Well obviously one flows from the other. If you* are compelled by the evidence of truth statement it would lead to the 'want' to believe in the truth, because it is truth. (*in a general sense referring to another person not just...

Well, its not a proof of God's existence, it is simply the fundamental logic is that it is good to believe in true statements. The reason why it is not circular because thats not how a hypothetical works. I'm not using statement (3) to prove statement (1). If God exists, we should believe in...

I did and you clearly missed the point I was addressing in my last reply. I am selective in what I reply. I wasn't addressing your remarks on judgment. I was addressing a particular comment you made in response to something I said. Sigh, you did the same with my originally reply, imho. The...

What I mean is that you use the term 'non-conscious' too broadly without distinction; when often you are referring to unconscious mind. The two concepts are yes related but different, Consciousness is a bit more complex that merely neurons firing, and we are certainly a long way from mapping...

You are rightly that man is flawed and insignificant, and the way that you can tell a fake religion is one that makes man the centre. Scripture reveals that man in his wisdom did not God but it pleased God through the apparent foolishness of the gospel message preached to save those you...

Firstly, religion is a lot broader concept (that can be tricky to define), there are not completely distinct as one informs the others, but there are different; religion is a lot broader than an individual premise/belief/proposition. (Again we don't necessarily agree on what a belief even is)...

Ok, SylviaB, you clearly not picking up that I am someone very particular in how I word things. Notice how I said "God's punishment isn't just X" implying that yes while there is an aspect of God's punishment that is for retribution sake, that there can be other aspects which I have appealed to...

It is different (and failing to distinguish), because initially when you say 'non-conscious brain processes' you have on the one have neurons and synapses firing; and on the other hand you have the information content of e.g. what you have been referring to as the 'non-conscious' beliefs that...

No I am showing as other people would agree, that you don't even appear to act as if what you are saying is true. Secondly, one of the criteria for accepting truth is whether it is liveable. If it not liveable, people will not accept it as true. You may not see it as relevant but sure as for...

But this is different to what you've been saying though or talking about. The neutral behaviour or physical processes in brain are different to the information content of the processes; which at least from my end is what I thought we were discussing. And what laws of physics would those be...

It is obvious that religious belief is an evolved adaptation, which is to say, it can be perfectly explained without the existence of god. Therefore, it would simply be a coincidence if god actually does exist. Religion and belief in God's existence are not synonymous. Since there are many who...

This doesn't explain why god created humans or why our creation brings glory to him. No, because it might actually help if you understand what I'm addressing is not necessarily going to answer your questions directly. Often I'm addressing what was said. Sometimes to answer the question, I have...

On evolution: Of course and you don't find any disagreement on most of the science of nitrogen or natural laws and things like that. When you said a couple of posts ago 'We evolved to adapt to the world being the way it happened to be' and your insistence on oxygen being present as to why we...

n.b. I won't have time to address all particulars going forward, so I'm going to be selective in what I respond to... On the topic of punishment and judgement: I agree that you don't believe in punishsment for punishment's sake either; and that is also not claiming you are. Not do Christians...
