How To Go Heaven Or How The Heavens Go?

Leon kicked off The Agora series of workshops based on the RZIM Bali conference with a presentation on "God & Science". Check out the exciting notes here. Next up, Steven Sim will be presenting on "The Lotus & The Cross" - on how we could engage resurgent Buddhism in our own backyard. Date: 9 October (Sunday) Time: 1.45 pm Location: City Discipleship Presbyterian Church ( Location Map ) After Leon's presentation, we had an interesting session on Q&A... A UM student asked, "Why can't evolution and creation be compatible?" I stuck my neck out to challenge our usual 'creationist' model a bit... Do we really need a person to repent of Darwinism FIRST before becoming a follower of Jesus? (Btw I'm not Darwinist) A teenager, whose ambition is to be a 'missionary scientist', was glad tat we are on the same wavelength. He was unsatisfied with the current impasse, hopeful that future discovery will show us a better way. A ne...

The Guli Problem

The night before our Da Vinci Code forum in SIB, I had dinner with Ian the host and others. We were worried abt the Q&A session and tried to prepare for the toughest questions we cud encounter. And I suggested one sticky scenario which may come up: "How do you know that?" According to Sproul, if you ask this question 7 successive times to any expert in the world on any given topic, he or she will be baffled. Ironically, this is a problem Descartes tries to solve, which is a very 'foundationalist' problem, really... hehehe... "How do you know tat?" You are expected to give a criteria to justify that knowledge When that criteria is given, we will again be asked "Now how do you know tat?" This can go on and on... a nauseating infinite regress of criteria... If u can't keep up, he'd just shrug and say, "see? You really dunno, do you?" It can be given a twist like: How much/which parts of the other person's theology/philosophy...

The Da Vinci Code – fact or fiction?

I'm proud that MBS has produced an author of this calibre :) Alexa told me about this article in The Star, it would reach more people than all our road-show combined! Hope that I can shake hands with him and say Kudos! Dun Miss this informative forum by Kairos ! Thomas Lee Seng Hock has been a journalist and editor for more than 30 years. He did his undergraduate theological studies in Singapore and Australia, and obtained his Master in Ministry from the Malaysia Bible Seminary. ... On the Bible, The Da Vinci Code states: "The Bible is a product of man, my dear. Not of God? The Bible, as we know it today, was collated by the pagan Roman emperor Constantine the Great" (Page 250). The claim is definitely false. The Bible was not collated or compiled at one particular time, and Emperor Constantine had nothing to do with the process, either before or after he converted to Christianity. The Old Testament, for example, had been forming for centuries. Jesus and the apostles alr...
