M©+square SG

Laughing Don't you just love him? He tried his best to help on the ratings.

vince69 SG

you still ask... Icey already said garantee, so infer its him loh .. Rolling Eyes

Icemoon SG

me.

since dave does not know a lot to begin with, this guarantee is a given.

davidche SG

why do you think its my habit?

M©+square SG

And if it doesn't help him? What's the guarantee for?

M©+square SG

I asked in this context because i didn't think people should give 'guarantees' to assure peers or others.

It has been done too many a times for Charismatic evangelical purposes.

M©+square SG

Because i can agree.
Your pattern of starting a thread and posting is always hit and run.

Icemoon SG

it will help him.

just like reading, you never know when you need that knowledge.

M©+square SG

Laughing Sometime ago, there was someone(christian leader) who guaranteed that reading Chicken Soup for the Soul will be enriching and enhance my outlook of life.

I read one story and put it back. Wink

What works for you may not work for another.

Icemoon SG

that book is not giving you knowledge. will you pay school fees to learn that kind of thing?

sorry to sound lame .. but knowledge is power. Laughing

M©+square SG

If you ask a Secondary school student to read Systematic Theology and expect him to have knowledge is equal to David having read topics on Creationism and claiming to know(emphasied) about it.

Knowledge is indeed power, the power to construct or destory.

Icemoon SG

to elaborate a bit, the school doesn't teach you Chicken Soup - it teaches you psychology and philosophy.

Similarly .. why read Purpose Driven Life which even dave can summarize?

Icemoon SG

Creationism is hard because you need to be competent in the sciences. I mean you need to be sufficiently competent to refute all the xtian nonsense and propaganda.

Systematic Theology is not a book. I mean it is a book (actually many books by different authors) but we are not targeting any specific book. We are targeting the topics, the big ideas.

There are only two important topics in Systematic Theology - Christology and Soteriology.

Dave here is a super good link - http://www.angelfire.com/nt/theology/theology.html

Hopefully you read liao will be on fire for God. Laughing

sillyme SG

Okay lah. Please discuss about the book. Not about david.

Icemoon SG

Seems like most people here don't like that book. I'm quite surprised leh.

Some people say the book very boring .. how come such a boring book can become a bestseller? Laughing

Chin Eng SG

Maybe church leaders advice their members to buy.... so all buy but few read.... Laughing

Best seller means many buyers, not many readers

sillyme SG

Coincidentally, I saw someone reading this book on the bus yesterday.

davidche SG

perhaps he has just started on the book?

Chin Eng SG

never go school hah? so free to post....

Icemoon SG

he play truant?
