Podcast: Play in new window Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Android | iHeartRadio | Email | TuneIn | RSS Science is often viewed as the standard to determine all truth, which begs the question, does science even have the ability to do that? During last week’s episode, Frank walked us through the S.U.R.E. acronym, a simple way to remember four scientific arguments that prove the universe had a beginning and came into existence out of nothing. As a follow up, Frank interacts with a listener’s question regarding science and the resurrection. Science is an extremely valuable tool, particularly in the world of apologetics. But should we use it in an attempt to prove the resurrection occurred? In this episode, Frank addresses questions like: What is scientism and what…

Cuando tu oponente hace trampas, ¿qué debes hacer? Por John D. Ferrer

Apologética, Cristianismo, Cultura, Español, John D. Ferrer, Moralidad, Teología, trampas
Por John D. Ferrer Es posible que hayas oído la frase “cambiar es un juego limpio”. Si tu adversario en el campo de fútbol o de baloncesto te empuja y te da codazos, es justo que tú le devuelvas el empujón, ¿no? Como se suele decir, el juego es limpio. Y mientras no sea contrario a la ley, inmoral o físicamente perjudicial para alguien, ese principio puede funcionar bien, al menos en los juegos de pelota y de mesa. Pero, ¿qué pasa con la política? Frank y yo tuvimos un podcast sobre este tema también. Puedes verlo  en:  Cuando tu oponente hace trampas, ¿qué debes hacer? | con el Dr. John Ferrer ¿Hasta dónde debemos llevar esta idea de que “lo justo es lo injusto”? Un caballero de Nigeria llamado…

Is it Hateful to Say Jesus is the Only Way?

Apologetics, Christianity, Culture CrossExamined, Exclusivism, Jesus Christ, Religious Pluralism, Ryan Leasure, RyanLeasure.com, theology, Theology and Christian Apologetics
By Ryan Leasure Is it hateful or arrogant to claim that Jesus is the only way of salvation? Charles Templeton thought so. He argued: “Christians are a small minority in the world. Approximately four out of every five people on the face of the earth believe in gods other than the Christian God. The more than five billion people who live on earth revere or worship more than three hundred gods. If one includes the animist or tribal religions, the number rises to more than three thousand. Are we to believe that only Christians are right?”[1] What are we to make of Templeton’s claims? Is it presumptuous to say that Jesus is the one true way of salvation? Or even worse, are Christians guilty of committing “absurd religious chauvinism” as some…

Podcast: Play in new window Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Android | iHeartRadio | Email | TuneIn | RSS Do we need deep scientific knowledge in order to make arguments for the existence of God? Or can we demonstrate a general, objective, rational case for God’s existence using common observations found in our everyday life? Philosopher and theologian Thomas Aquinas introduced the world to his “Five Ways” for the existence of God back in the 13th century, and they are still being discussed and debated today. There are some similarities between Aquinas’ Five Ways and many other common arguments for the existence of God (Kalam cosmological, moral, teleological, etc.) but there are also some important distinctions to keep in mind. In this midweek podcast episode, Frank sits down…
