"Belief in an Age of Skepticism?"
March 4, 2008, at The University of California, Berkeley

Noted pastor and author Dr. Tim Keller discusses the place of exclusive truth in a pluralistic society in Wheeler Auditorium, followed by a Q&A session.

    I've had atheists dogmatically telling everyone "there is no heaven and no hell' REALLY? HOW DO YOU KNOW? Simply narrow and dogmatic - and so much more evagelistic than the evangelists themselves! Stuffing their opinions down other people's throats.

    I thought he did a great job of answering their questions, especially when most were presented as comments looking to be agreed with rather than real questions. The problem of not being satisfied with his answers comes more with whether or not you agree with his point of view on the "question." How can one provide an appealing answer about the benevolence of God or about the sentence to heaven or hell if you don't believe in them, but to say: "yes you are right, that is contradictory."

    YOU NEED TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK (Love that statement made by Mr. Keller) as that is what I'm doing right now. In order to gain knowledge and understanding of our questions there really is no other way. Thank you.

    The argument they should be making, if any, is there does not exist sufficient empirical evidence to prove the existence of a "God", heaven, or hell.

    My Scriptural understanding of the Holy Spirit is Hebraic for they understood the ruach ha-kodesh or the spirit to mean the spirit of YHWH meaning his divine force, quality, and influence of over the universe and over his creatures. I see a nice parallel between Joel 2:28 and the common Biblical literary device known as personification of YHWH's power in John 14:26. Just in case you have doubts about this usage see Gen.4:10, Psalm 77:16 Pro.1:20, Isaiah 24:23 for examples of personification.

    Your questions are of a speculative sort, questions that God himself never proposed.YHWH a spirit could have brought up questions touching upon his "nature" "essence" "hypostasis" "perichoresis" but he didn't! Neither did the Patriarchs Judges,Kings nor prophets of Israel speak about nor worried about triune human compositions nor "unified plurality" As a matter of fact neither did Jesus or the Apostles. Is it necessary to go beyond what the Scriptures actually say about God and man?

    I completely agree that God is one. I am one. I see no distinction between the Greek or Hebrew way of thinking about the human composition. How can a being of one nature love itself? My hand can't shake itself. I can Love my neighbor as myself as commanded by Yeshua because I am a unified plurality. Independent of Greek philosophy, I know that I think, feel and act. The cadence may be emphasizing, but why heart,soul,might? What is your understanding of the Holy Spirit?
