http://www.michaelcoughlin.net/blog/?p=803 to be expected attack against 180 movie. To be brief, the article basically said that Ray Comfort fixed the responses of the people in the 180 movie in order to meet his Pro-life agenda. The accusers even provided some forensic evidence by highlighting the reflection of what they proposed to be a cue card in one of the interviewee’s sunglasses. So how should we view an accusation such as this? In short: biblically. “Biblically” is, in fact, the way we should view EVERY event in life.]]> http://www.michaelcoughlin.net/blog/index.php/2011/11/180-movie-is-a-hoax/feed/ 2 http://www.michaelcoughlin.net/blog/index.php/2011/11/proud-to-support-uncomfortable-abortion-movie/ http://www.michaelcoughlin.net/blog/index.php/2011/11/proud-to-support-uncomfortable-abortion-movie/#comments Sun, 13 Nov 2011 05:34:16 +0000 Michael http://www.michaelcoughlin.net/blog/?p=795 abortion. ]]> http://www.michaelcoughlin.net/blog/index.php/2011/11/proud-to-support-uncomfortable-abortion-movie/feed/ 2 http://www.michaelcoughlin.net/blog/index.php/2011/11/are-amish-christian/ http://www.michaelcoughlin.net/blog/index.php/2011/11/are-amish-christian/#comments Fri, 04 Nov 2011 19:54:41 +0000 Michael http://www.michaelcoughlin.net/blog/?p=790 ark being built in Kentucky. Answers In Genesis, the good folks who brought us the Creation Museum put on the presentation. It was inspiring in several ways. I was able to gain a deeper understanding of why they believe this ark will be 'successful,' and I got to meet the makers of the VBS my church uses every year from Answers In Genesis. One part of the presentation concerned me. The speaker told us that the ark will be built by Amish. At least in Ohio, Amish are known for their work ethic and craftsmanship; but what concerned me was when they (the Amish) were categorically described as "faithful." Faithful to what I wondered? My understanding from a former Amish man who became born-again and had to leave the Amish community is that Amish do not believe in justification by grace through faith alone. I approached the speaker and asked the questions. He assured me these Amish people were saved, and that the Amish were like any protestant denomination. It ended friendly, which was good, but I left feeling like there was more to say. Here is the letter I wrote him today via email: ]]> http://www.michaelcoughlin.net/blog/index.php/2011/11/are-amish-christian/feed/ 0
