What Would It Take To Prove That God Doesn’t Exist?

2. Does God Exist?, Al Serrato, Answers to Skeptics questions, Apologetics, Atheists arguments, Christianity, God, Jesus, religion, Skeptics, theology, Theology and Christian Apologetics
By Al Serrato Atheists who feel certain that there is no God are staking out a rather interesting position. As a corollary of their position, they are of course also convinced that those who believe in God are engaging in a form of wishful thinking, that their desire to believe in a “cosmic judge” of good and evil clouds their thinking, preventing them from following where “the science” actually leads, as they believe they have done. Indeed, many believe that religion is no more than the opiate of the masses. But a bit of careful consideration will lead to quite the opposite conclusion. Holding to atheism may have some superficial appeal, as the theist must concede that it is not possible to directly see or experience God. But pretending to…

They deteriorate too quickly to have survived this long. So how do we know that the manuscripts we have now are accurate representations of the originals? Is it reasonable to believe that they have been corrupted and embellished to falsely say that Jesus rose from the dead? Detective J. Warner Wallace joins Frank to answer those questions. He cites a technique that law enforcement uses to ensure that evidence from murder or any crime isn’t corrupted. It’s called the Chain of Custody. Is there a chain of custody that secures the evidence about the identity of Jesus from the time…

¿Quién es la persona de mayor relevancia?

Apologética, Cristianismo, Español, Frank Turek, Historia, Jesucristo, Jesus, Jesús de Nazaret
¿Por qué nos interesan tanto los asesinatos?  Algunos de los podcasts, vídeos y titulares de noticias más populares tratan sobre homicidios de alto perfil.  A menudo nos consume el principal sospechoso al que la policía suele llamar “persona de interés”.  ¿Ahora mismo, los titulares están obsesionados con Brian Laundrie?  ¿Dónde está?  ¿Lo hizo él?  Si es así, ¿por qué?  ¿Y se le hará justicia? Desgraciadamente, a la larga, la persona de interés suele ser recordada mucho más que sus víctimas. Recordamos nombres como Charles Manson, Jeffery Dahmer y Ted Bundy, pero solemos olvidar a los que mataron. Pero ¿y si hay una gran excepción a ese resultado típico?  ¿Y si el nombre más recordado e influyente de la historia de la humanidad no es un villano, sino una víctima de…

Artless Similarities: More Evidence for Gospel Reliability

4. Is the NT True?, Apologetics, Artless Similarities, Christianity, Erik Manning, Evidence for the Gospels, IsJesusAlive, theology
By Erik Manning While reading the gospels, you’ll notice similarities between the characters portrayed across the different stories. Parallels between the gospels concerning character depictions are unlikely to be the result of mere chance. And these correspondences seem so casual and subtle that it’s unlikely they were designed that way. Philosopher Tim McGrew calls these ‘artless similarities.’ In an earlier video, we saw this kind of unity of character with Jesus between John and the Synoptics. But let me give another example with two somewhat lesser-known characters in the gospels — Mary and Martha. We find their stories in both Luke and John. For this evidence, I’m drawing from Peter J. Williams’ excellent book Can We Trust the Gospels? [embedded content] Mary And Martha in Luke As we read Luke 10 and John…
