What is the Meaning of Life?

Adam Lloyd Johnson, Apologetics, biblical anthropology, christian, ConvincingProof.org, Gospel, imago Dei, meaning of life, Theology and Christian Apologetics, Trinity
Ancient philosophy began when people started thinking about ultimate reality. These early philosophers proposed theories about the ultimate elemental stuff which everything else comes from or is made of. Some of the early theories were earth, air, fire, or water. One ancient philosopher, Democritus, even suggested that everything is made up of tiny particles he called atoms. If Christianity is true, however, and I believe it is, then when the final curtain of reality is pulled back, we won’t find earth, air, fire, water, or atoms. Instead, we’ll find loving relationships between three divine persons. Ultimate reality, from which everything else comes, is a God which exists as a Trinity: three divine persons united in one essence and united in Their loving relationships with Each Other. I’ve become convinced that…

At the very least, if informed consent and “choice” are to mean anything, abortionists should be duty-bound to inform pregnant women about this particular risk. Source

New-Testament Slavery: Fact vs. Fiction with Dr. Paul Copan

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, human dignity, morality, New Testament, Paul Copan, philosophy, Podcast, religion, slavery, theology
Does the Bible REALLY support slavery, as skeptics often claim? Last week, Dr. Paul Copan joined Frank to unpack the cultural and theological context of Old Testament passages, like Leviticus 25. This week, Paul returns to examine the New Testament’s most controversial passages on slavery, addressing questions about human dignity, morality, and God’s ultimate plan while answering questions like: What rights and protections did servants actually have under biblical law? What does the punishment for mistreating servants reveal about their dignity and value? How did the Bible call out abuses of slavery and work to humanize servants? What did Paul teach Christians about how to treat slaves in the New Testament? Were there barriers that made abolishing slavery outright impossible in ancient Rome? Why does God sometimes take incremental steps…

Answering Stephen Law’s Evil God Challenge

2. Does God Exist?, Apologetics, christian, ethics, Evil God, Gospel, John Ferrer, Moral Argument, naturalism, Philosophical Apologetics, Problem of Evil, Stephen Law, theism, www.IntelligentChristianFaith.com
If you’ve followed the problem of evil at the popular or academic level, then there’s a good chance you’ve come across the rather interesting objection from Stephen Law which he terms the “Evil God challenge.” In essence he contends that skeptics can reverse any efforts from theists to explain God’s goodness in spite of the facts of evil in the world. The conventional problem of evil claims that God doesn’t exist or probably doesn’t exist given the facts of evil (gratuitous evil, animal suffering, moral evil, etc.) in the world. While theists typically appeal to things like free and sublime unknown divine purposes to explain away these evils, the skeptic can counter that these evils are equally good evidence that there exists a maximally evil God. Free will is the accommodation that…

Old-Testament Slavery: Fact. vs. Fiction with Dr. Paul Copan

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, morality, Old Testament, Paul Copan, philosophy, Podcast, religion, slavery, theology
Does the Bible condone slavery? Critics often point to verses like Leviticus 25 as proof that Scripture supports the kind of dehumanizing chattel slavery we know from the antebellum South. But is that REALLY what the text is teaching? Old Testament scholar and author, Dr. Paul Copan, joins Frank to unpack this hot-button issue and explain how to think carefully about slavery in its historical and redemptive context. You’ll hear answers to questions like: What are 8 things a person needs to study in order to understand this topic well? What does the opening chapter of Genesis teach us about slavery? What is chattel slavery and how is it different from slavery in the Bible? How did the Mosaic laws on slavery compare to other nations in the Ancient Near…
