The Heroes of Pride Month

Apologetics, Christianity, DrOwenAnderson.substack.com, Gospel, Judith Butler, LGBTQ, Owen Anderson, Pride Month, Queer Theory, Theology and Christian Apologetics
I have been writing a series about Pride Month to highlight the truth behind the lives of the LGBTQ+ figures we are commanded to celebrate.  Young Christians considering attending state universities should be aware of the kind of propaganda they will encounter and how to respond in a bold yet loving manner that affirms the free offer of salvation through Christ to all.  These so-called “heroes” lived lives of “activism” and “helping the marginalized.” They are held up as people whom the young should imitate. ASU’s library commands us to “Celebrate” them. ASU is currently the largest state university in the country, weighing in at 180,000 students, so it has a sizable impact for this sex philosophy. Yet when we take an honest look at their lives, we see that…

What Do Critical Scholars Admit About Jesus? with Dr. Gary Habermas

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Dr. Gary Habermas, Evidence, Jesus of Nazareth, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, Resurrection, scholars, theology
Resurrection expert Dr. Gary Habermas returns to discuss Volume 3 of his magnum opus, ‘On the Resurrection: Scholarly Perspectives‘, which includes 500+ scholarly treatments related to the resurrection. From far-left critics to conservative theologians, this collective volume provides a strong overview of everything that has ever been written about the resurrection and includes over 8,000 footnotes! During their conversation, Frank and Gary answer questions like: Why do critical scholars deny miracles but still affirm that Jesus was a miracle worker? Why does Gary think many atheists don’t want to say “I do” to Jesus? Is biblical inerrancy a requirement for the Gospel and what about apparent Bible contradictions? What are the 3 things you need in order for Christianity to be true? How do you respond to those who say…

The Miracles in Acts, and Their Evidential Value Part 2

3. Are Miracles Possible?, 4. Is the NT True?, and Philip., Apologetics, Gospel, In this second part of a two-part series, Jonathan McLatchie surveys the historical evidential case for the miracles of Acts, Peter, with the miracles of Paul
[Editor’s Note: In part 1 of this series, Jonathan McLatchie introduced the book of Acts for it’s miracle accounts and the evidential value they carry. He argues that at least some of these miracles cannot be rationally dismissed out of hand but rather carry demonstrable evidential value for understanding the events of biblical history. McLatchie began by focusing on the miracles of the Apostle Paul. In Part 2, we pick up with more Pauline miracles.] Striking Elymas Blind: Acts 13:4-12 recounts Paul’s and Barnabas’ encounter with a magician by the name of Bar-Jesus, also called Elymas, on the island of Cyprus. Luke indicates that “he was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God,” (v. 7).…
