THIS DEBATE IS NOT CANCELED! IT BEGINS FRIDAY at 6:30 PM! CARM accidentally deleted their Facebook Event page. (There's no need to blame God for this mistake. This wasn't by eternal divine decree, but just like the typo in the title of that page, misspelling Calvnism [sic], it was just a mistake. :) [See God is not the author of confusion, below] * Join the Live Stream or Come to DBC!

As Bob prepares to welcome this weekend's Duffy/Slick Calvinism/Openness debate at Denver Bible Church (see below), today we re-air an important program from March 17, 2016 based on kgov.com/doubts. What can you know about God for certain? Consider these examples of things in our lives that we may have doubts about and the many things about God that we can know for certain. Based on our article below and at kgov.com/doubts. * Debate! You are invited to join Will Duffy and Matt Slick in person or via YouTube live streaming... The 1st Debate (Open Theism): youtu.be/JCNPmLIOnDg The 2nd Debate (Calvinism): youtu.be/XDA-_SP3J9Y * From kgov.com/doubts: On Doubt: What Does a Christian Doubt? In an online discussion over at Prometheus Unbound, Santi, an agnostic, asked Bob Enyart about his doubts. You can read that discussion over at santitafarella.wordpress.com. This List of Doubts is based on Bob's answer: I doubt that the rising mountain of evidence utterly refuting Darwinism will bring a majority of evolutionists to acknowledge our Creator God. I doubt that the failed predictions of the Big Bang Theory will lead atheists to… But wait. I’m sure those are not the kinds of doubts you’re asking me about Santi. You’re asking me to indicate, of the beliefs that I hold, which ones do I sometimes doubt. To help myself think this through, I’ll first list the things I never ever doubt. - I never doubt that I exist. - I never doubt that truth exists, because for example, it is true that I exist. - I never doubt that reason exists, because I can reason to the truth of the previous sentence. - I never doubt that there is a reality, because truth and reason exist. - I never doubt that the universe exists, because I exist as part of it, and I can reason to the truth of its existence. - I never doubt that the universe must have had a beginning, because stars still burn available energy. - Since truth and reason exist, I never doubt that logic exists. - Since I exist and logic exists, I never doubt that existence itself must be rational. - Since logic and reason exist, I never doubt that whatever has a beginning must have a cause. - Since logic and reason exist, I never doubt that the effect cannot be greater than the cause. - I never doubt that whatever caused the universe must be powerful and even greater than the universe itself. - And since logic exists, I realize that nothing that has a beginning can have existed forever. - And since the Cause of the universe must exist, I realize that it has no beginning, and has existed forever. - And since this uncaused Cause created the universe, i.e., its ingredients, I don't doubt that it also created me. - And since I'm a person and the effect can't be greater than the cause I don't doubt that the Creator is personal. - And because we persons are creative like He is, I never doubt that we are made to some extent in His likeness. - And because the Creator is a person, I never doubt that He must be alive. - So I never doubt that the attributes of our eternal Creator are that He is living and personal. - And I never doubt that human beings refer to the living and personal eternal Creator as "God". - And I never doubt that to be a person, one must have a will, so that it is by God's will that I exist. - And because we creatures have the ability to know our Creator, I never doubt that He is relational. - And because He made us
