The Triune God of Scripture Lives

The Problem With Defining God Out of Existence

You know, if God exists, does he have a functioning brain? Is there a mind that somehow has desires and whims and cares?

Dan said, that which exists outside of time does not exist. Why? Because I'm a naturalistic materialist. And the only thing that exists is the material world, which is time-bound. And therefore, that's just the way it is, because my worldview says so.

And I'm going to deny the existence of anything that transcends my worldview. That's what fundamentalistic, naturalistic materialism is all about.

Contradictory Claims About the God of the Bible

The God of the Bible is reliable. The God of the Bible is not reliable. He does not exist.

He goes to this list, and he says this and this. The triune God of the Scripture does not exist.

The God of the Bible can be seen. The God of the Bible cannot be seen. He's a married bachelor. He does not exist.

Dan Barker once preached Jesus. Now Dan Barker doesn't preach Jesus. Therefore, Dan Barker doesn't exist.

The Limits of Debate-by-Assertion

The God of the Bible is all-powerful. The God of the Bible cannot fight chariots of iron. He does not exist.

Does that really work?

The God of the Bible is immaterial, and yet the God of the Bible works materially. Therefore, the God of the Bible does not exist.

If that's how debates are won, I can simply say, by definition, my God does exist. Let's all go home. But that's not why we came here this evening, is it?
