The Road to the Perfect God

2. Does God Exist?, Apologetics, Arguments for God, Being, Christianity, Diego Fallas, existence, God's nature, Gospel, metaphysics, Perfection, Philosophical Theology, Theology Proper
Human beings have wondered about God for millennia. The Bible explains this by saying that God “set eternity in the human heart.”[1] How can, limited, finite human beings wonder about the supreme being? Some say that we are not alone in this quest and that God has revealed himself to us. That he has bridged the infinite chasm between creature and creator so that finite creatures can know him. Other say that God, if he exists at all, is too hidden and has not done a good job in making his existence evident. My contention here is that, not only is God not hidden, but there is evidence for his existence that we cannot dismiss because it is right “in front” of us, every moment, every second, every day and…

John Lennox Greatest Hits: Can Science Explain Everything?

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, faith, John Lennox, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, science, theology
Is the rigorous pursuit of scientific knowledge compatible with a sincere faith in God? One of the greatest myths regarding God and science is that science has somehow disproven God. But the exact opposite is closer to the truth. If science has disproven anything, it has disproven atheism. How can that be? The brilliant, humble, and always well-spoken, Dr. John Lennox, President of The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics, joins Frank for a deep and wide-ranging conversation about the relationship between faith and science. From science and philosophy to personal testimony and practical wisdom, this conversation explores just a handful of the many books Dr. Lennox has written over the years, and why he believes Christianity is worth standing up for—no matter the cost. During their discussion, they tackle questions like: How did an Oxford mathematician come to…

A Disturbing Trend

1. Does Truth Exist?, Apologetics, Christianity, critical theory, Domestic Terrorism, Gospel, Left Wing, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Politics, relativism, Right Wing, Social Constructivism, truth, violence
A disturbing trend is rising. People are calling for Trump’s assass1nation.[1] Political discourse has shifted from divisive and shrill, to radical and violent. Meanwhile, there have been four confirmed attempts on the president’s life, one of them missed by mere inches. This is getting out of hand. Ironically, the same people calling for violence against the elected president think they’re fighting for democracy. Apparently, people can avoid the courts, evade elections, derail due process, and bypass all the checks and balances of this constitutional democratic republic, and somehow they’re still “pro-democracy.” How does that work? “The same people calling for violence against the elected president think they’re fighting for democracy” Firebombing Car Dealers . . . Bad. Now I don’t think Donald Trump is the best or the worst. He’s…

Is Christianity Unjust? Plus 3 Other BIG Questions

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, eschatology, Evolution, morality, philosophy, Podcast, Q&A, religion, Resurrection, theology
Was the sacrifice of Jesus unjust? Is common ancestry true? And what will happen when Jesus returns? This week, Frank kicks off the episode by tackling a BIG question about the implications of Jesus’ death and resurrection, and it only gets more interesting from there! As he responds to questions sent in by listeners he’ll also answer questions like: What is preterism and why doesn’t the Bible tell us when Jesus is returning? Does regeneration come before faith? How can tough marriages glorify God and is incompatibility a good reason to get divorced? Why doesn’t God ensure that all people will become Christians? What is irreducible complexity and is it consistent with the atheistic worldview? How are digital distractions drawing us away from God? Do you have a question for…
