http://sandwichesforsale.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

Thoughts from a Sandwich. Giving Chaos a bad name. Tuesday, September 10, 2013. On September 9th, I listened to this debate. Mp3 file download] between Matthew Ferguson. The topic: “Based on the historical evidence, is it more reasonable to believe or doubt Jesus’ resurrection? First some general notes. These two gentlemen are not professional debaters. What a relief! Of course that won’t stop me from Monday morning quarterbacking. *grin*. I am writing this from my memory and notes taken during the debat...

The Taiwan Drift: August 2009

http://thetaiwandrift.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Saturday, August 29, 2009. Interview with a Former Expat. Just two weeks before my sister visited. I met an American Girl about my age who was on the Island for an internship. She was living with my pastor, another American, who introduced us and asked if I'd show her around for a bit while she was here. Of course, I agreed. The thought of having another Foreigner to show the sites around town was quite fun. She traveled with me by bus. 8220; You get used to that sort of thing.” I said. Recently, Gabby a...

Thoughts from a Sandwich: August 2012

http://sandwichesforsale.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Thoughts from a Sandwich. Giving Chaos a bad name. Wednesday, August 01, 2012. Another year; another Warrior Dash. Last year it was exciting—we had never done one, we were into running and already had a few races under our belts. This year…not so much. However, the week before, we all began to infuse each other with excitement, looking forward to the “newbies” on the course, and their Facebook lamentations regarding the possibility of death. Because of the difference in obstacles, it is difficult to gaug...

Thoughts from a Sandwich: Dating of Mark

http://sandwichesforsale.blogspot.com/2013/05/dating-of-mark.html

Thoughts from a Sandwich. Giving Chaos a bad name. Wednesday, May 15, 2013. I’ve discussed various positions regarding when Mark’s Gospel was written. The traditional dating method (absent any internal indication or external reference) would be to presume it was written after the last recorded incident. As Mark 13 refers to the sacking of Jerusalem, we date it after 70 CE—the year Jerusalem was besieged and fell. 620), Suetonius ( Gal. For a very brief background, Tiberius was Caesar during Jesus’ ...

Thoughts from a Sandwich: Arguing for the Resurrection

http://sandwichesforsale.blogspot.com/2011/02/arguing-for-resurrection.html

Thoughts from a Sandwich. Giving Chaos a bad name. Friday, February 04, 2011. Arguing for the Resurrection. Jon, at Prove Me Wrong. Runs a Bible Study/atheist group (it works; don’t knock it! Its people have a broad continuum of knowledge regarding the Bible. Anywhere from those who have studied their entire life to others only knowing the fellow holding the “John 3:16” sign at football games. I decided the easiest way to present was to role-play a Christian apologist—present the basic information ...

Thoughts from a Sandwich: December 2013

http://sandwichesforsale.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Thoughts from a Sandwich. Giving Chaos a bad name. Thursday, December 12, 2013. Are you glad atheism is true? In my wanderings, I happened across this question:. Are you glad that atheism is the truth? I am ambivalent. Truth just….is. Am I glad for the amount of gravity earth has? Well, it would be neat if it was less, because we could jump farther. (Basketball would be different.) But I am not particularly glad or sad or feel any real emotion toward gravity. We work with what is there. How do you know y...

Thoughts from a Sandwich: April 2013

http://sandwichesforsale.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Thoughts from a Sandwich. Giving Chaos a bad name. Tuesday, April 23, 2013. Asked, “I'm interested in what you would do with this in light of the "die for a lie" argument. Even if Christians weren't systematically persecuted, but had legitimate reason to fear prosecution, wouldn't that still lend some support to the argument? The problem regarding “Die for a Lie” is:. 1) We don’t have enough information;. 2) The information we do have tends toward bias; and. 2) Peter and Paul initially teach and believe ...

Thoughts from a Sandwich: May 2014

http://sandwichesforsale.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html

Thoughts from a Sandwich. Giving Chaos a bad name. Wednesday, May 14, 2014. 8220;Dear Gary”…a continuing conversation. Dagood: Is it possible that the correct answer to your question, "Would a modern jury be convinced of the evidence for the Resurrection" be. not "yes" or "no", but "depends"? Studies show that 80% of Americans believe that miracles are possible. Only if the jury is composed of persons like yourself who believe that miracles are impossible, would they definitely vote "no". We deal with ot...
