Early Church Persecution, and its Evidential Value. Part 1

4. Is the NT True?, Apologetics, Christianity, Church History, Evidential apologetics, Gospel, JonathanMclatchie.com, persecution
The argument from Christian persecution was developed most fully by William Paley, in his 1794 book, A View of the Evidences of Christianity.[1] Indeed, Paley devotes the first nine chapters of his book to defending the thesis “that there is satisfactory evidence that many professing to be original witnesses of the Christian miracles, passed their lives in labours, dangers, and sufferings, voluntarily undergone in attestation of the accounts which they delivered, and solely in consequence of their belief of those accounts; and that they also submitted, from the same motives, to new rules of conduct.”[2] This proposition, if true, goes a long way towards establishing that the early apostles — that is, those who were purportedly witnesses to Jesus’ resurrection — were sincere in their conviction that they had encountered the raised…

Will We Care For or Kill Dementia Patients?

I understand that people are terrified of dementia. Believe me, I get it. My mother died of Alzheimer’s. But I can’t wrap my head around the fact that advocacy for killing/suicide as the answer to the difficulties caused by the condition is becoming ubiquitous. Noted bioethicist and lawyer Thaddeus Mason Pope has written an essay, to be published in an edited volume, on this very issue. It lists eleven ways people can “avoid late-stage dementia,” and almost all involve intentionally ending life. Remember when we were told that advance medical directives are the key to not receiving life-extending treatment one does not want? They are, but that’s not good enough for Pope, because it doesn’t guarantee death: This strategy is Read More › Source

Charlie Kirk, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, evil, God, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
Does evil disprove God? If not, what is God’s purpose for evil? Why would a good God allow evil that seems to have no purpose, like the recent m*rder of Charlie Kirk? What is God’s ultimate solution to evil? Watch Frank present, ‘If God, Why Evil?’, which was recorded earlier this week at Western Carolina Univ. in Cullowhee, NC during his first public appearance since the tragic events that took place on 9/10/2025.

How The Multiverse Theory Could Challenge Your Child’s Faith

2. Does God Exist?, Alexa Cramer, Cosmological Argument, does God exist?, First Cause, MamaBearApologetics.com, multiverse, physics, universe
What comes to mind when you hear the word “multiverse”? Do you (a) cringe, (b) hink of your kid’s favorite Marvel movie, or (c) do you cock your head like a confused (but very cute) puppy? In case you chose “c,” the term “multiverse” refers to a theory that we live in one of many (potentially even an infinite number) of universes. It makes for MARVELous movies (see what I did there?). But what happens when this theory makes its way into the minds of our kiddos as a plausible explanation of reality? Can this affect their view of God? How a “Multiverse” Replaces God         The mainstream scientific consensus is that the universe as we know it had an ultimate beginning at “The Big Bang.” This is a massive problem…

The Greatness of Charlie Kirk: An Eyewitness Account of His Life and Martyrdom

Charile Kirk, Podcast
This week’s episode is the most difficult we’ve ever recorded. As an eyewitness to the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, Frank will share his firsthand account of those harrowing moments on 9/10/2025 as well as offer a tribute to Charlie’s life and legacy—a person who lived 24/7 for Jesus and courageously proclaimed truth while receiving threats against his life. Charlie loved his wife Erika and their children deeply, encouraged his closest friends through Scripture, and adamantly worked to let those in the TPUSA family know that they were valued as he modeled great leadership. He was a man of action and integrity, an evangelist and apologist, generous and kind–especially to those who opposed him, and courageous in the face of a hostile culture. Frank will answer questions like: How did…
