We jumped into this conversation after I entered an atheist chat room and joined a dialogue about God and sickness. Vic, Phil, and Judy were the main participants. Vic and Phil are atheists, and Judy is supposed to be a Christian though I have my doubts based on her...
In this dialogue, an atheist actually says he knew for a fact that there is no God. I found that position to be interesting and, quite honestly, not possible. How could he know all things so that he could know there was no God in any dimension, any place? It is...
This short dialogue deals with evidence for God's existence. Though the discussion didn't really examine any proofs for God, it dealt more with Dan's presuppositions and what evidence he would accept as sufficient to show that God exists. It was brought to my...
This dialogue with an agnostic is a good illustration of the importance of dealing with a person's presuppositions. We must understand that we all have glasses through which we interpret our world. Whether or not those glasses are correctly rendering what we see is...
This dialogue was generated out of an e-mail. I asked this agnostic to come into the chat room and discuss his e-mail with me. He denies his own existence which is, of course, illogical. You will see that he makes no sense at all. Matt: Okay, so you told me in your...

This dialogue picks up in the middle of a longer one (the first half was lost) that I was having with a person on the inspiration and inerrancy of the biblical documents. He denies they are inspired in the originals and yet claims to believe in the deity of Christ,...
This conversation began when I pursued an individual who had entered a Christian chat room and posted very profane and insulting things about Jesus. He flooded the room with blasphemous text. I knew he would be bounced from the room, so I quickly opened up a private...
An online chat discussion with someone who is struggling with whether or not he is really saved. Joe: Mr. Slick? Matt: Yes. Joe: Do you have a minute? Matt: Yes. Joe: I wanted to ask a biblically-related question, but I'll understand if you don't have time right now....
This chat developed out of a conversation with a pastor regarding basic Christian theology. We ended up talking about whether or not you can lose your salvation. Let's pick it up well into the talk. Matt: Can we lose our salvation? Sam: I believe we can Matt: What...
