JANUARY 28, 2022 BY MATTHEW DISTEFANO Christians will spend their lives worshipping Jesus, talking about Jesus, praising Jesus, giving their hearts to Jesus, but at the end of the day, they don’t want to go to hell. They will give their hard-earned money to the Church with the belief that they will spend it on the […]
If you look carefully you see the guy in the casket breathing even before the pastor bring him back to life..
OCTOBER 9, 2020 BY SCOTT R. STAHLECKER During the two decades I was a Christian the flood story really perplexed me. There were portions that just could not be plausible. To begin with, the punishment didn’t fit the crime, and the crime itself reads like a well-rigged sting operation. Nor could I reconcile why God thought […]
FEBRUARY 4, 2019 BY BOB SEIDENSTICKER Progressive revelation is the doctrine that God doled out his message over time. I agree with the problem—the Bible message does change over time.

JANUARY 23, 2019 BY BOB SEIDENSTICKER We’re halfway through our analysis of the modal ontological argument, an apologetic argument that’s not accurate and useful so much as weighty. Those of us who are outsiders to philosophy have probably found it to be ponderous and counterintuitive. I certainly did. In part 1, we saw that premise 1 seemed reasonable […]
JANUARY 22, 2019 BY BOB SEIDENSTICKER This Christian apologetic argument is the one that I most often see put forward as the one that will put cocky atheists in their place. And for you Christians, once you’ve gotten past the beginner arguments like the Design, Cosmological, and Moral arguments and then master intermediate ones like the Fine-Tuning, Transcendental, and Ontological arguments, it’s time for […]
JANUARY 21, 2022 BY ROGER E. OLSON *Note to would-be commenters: Don’t expect your comment to be published here if it is argumentative or hostile. Keep it calm and dialogical—open to discussion as opposed to argument* Should Polygamy Be De-criminalized? This morning I watched a documentary on Youtube about a teenage boy who fled his family, […]
