Skeptic Bible Study: The Body of Yahweh?
http://www.godvsthebible.com
A response to KalSolar’s musings about how it’s possible that Christ could be “at the right hand” of an omnipresent being. The answer is simple: the biblical god isn’t omnipresent. The OT clearly depicts a being that walks, talks, plays hide-and-seek with Adam, wrestles with Jacob, drops by Abraham’s for lunch and makes speeches to Judea.
I also had a bit of fun cutting and pasting some images to underscore how ridiculous these events of the Bible really are.

For episode five in this series the questions are: 1. Does a person need to commit a very bad sin to go to Hell? 2. What about ghosts, apparitions of Mary, haunted houses, & poltergeists? 3. How does the Bible explain flying saucers & UFOs? 4. Is Astrology compatible with Christianity? 5. Did Jesus resurrect in spirit as a “spirit creature” or in bodily form? 6. Can both God & Satan exist at the same time? This is part 5 in a 6 part series.

Spiritual Experience – Christian Faith
Spiritual Experience and the Christian Faith. Randall Niles reviews the number one evidence for the Christian Faith, a transformed life.
Origin Destiny Meaning Suffering Purpose Evolution Design Chance Fate Grace Freedom Justice Judgment Humanity Hope Eternity God.
Powerful words, underlying profound questions, argued passionately for centuries.
Although the science is more progressive, the tools more technological, and the media more dramatic, the debate is still the same. Logic, reason, and rhetoric — evidence, experience, and emotion the great thinkers in science, philosophy, and theology continually unpack the same basic quandaries of existence.
But when the dust settles on each century of apologetic skirmish, it seems one moment with God conquers all
Augustine of Hippo (AD 354 — 430) was 19-years-old when he read an essay by Cicero on truth. He spent the next 12 years pursuing his illusive foe, jumping from philosophy to philosophy, theology to theology, trying to intellectually reconcile seemingly irreconcilable tradeoffs between doctrine and experience. At the age of 31, Augustine had a one-time, supernatural experience, as if a light of relief from all anxiety flooded into my heart. It was then that all the shadows of doubt were dispelled and he accepted God as the ultimate truth in his life.
Thomas Aquinas (AD 1225 1274) was the timeless apologist of his century. His Summa Theologica still stands as a pillar of theological thought 38 treatises asking and answering over 10,000 questions across 3,120 separate subsections! Remarkably, after decades of written debate and discourse, Aquinas had a transformative (some would call mystical) experience in church that changed everything for him. He immediately ceased work on his Summa and nobody (not even the Roman Catholic Church) could get him to return to it. He simply declared, I can do no more. Such secrets have been revealed to me that all I have written now appears to be of little value.
Blaise Pascal (AD 1623 1662) was the brilliant scientist, mathematician, philosopher, and apologist of his era, debating the existence of God and other theological issues with the greatest minds in Europe. His logic, reason, and rhetoric are still the foundation of university courses to this day. Yet, it was Pascals personal encounter with God as he read by his fireplace one night that delivered the final apologetic for his life — you cant know God through intellect alone. He later wrote, “The heart has its reasons; that reason knows not of.”
Wow, powerful stuff!
It seems a transformed life through an individual encounter with God must be regarded as the greatest apologetic evidence for His existence! Although these personal experiences mean nothing to the critical, cynical, or skeptical mind, they mean everything to those that experience them!
