Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Grace Community Church, Heaven, Hell, Jesus resurrection, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology, Titanic
 Everyone you love will die. Everything you build will crumble. Everything you say will be forgotten. Everything you do will come to nothing. You and your identity will die and vanish, UNLESS…the resurrection is true. Yes, if Jesus of Nazareth really did rise from the dead–GAME OVER–Christianity is true! But wait…isn’t a miracle like the resurrection a little too hard to believe for a rational person? Join Frank during his recent talk at Grace Community Church in Sarasota, FL where he draws a striking parallel between the sinking of the Titanic and the resurrection of Jesus. You’ll learn why the Gospel accounts are not myths or legends, but credible eyewitness testimony that can stand up to scrutiny. Along the way, he answers pressing questions like: How do we know miracles…

What is the Role of A Priori Knowledge?

2. Does God Exist?, A Priori Knowledge, bellatorchristi.com, Christianity, Epistemology, Gospel, Justin Angelos, Kalam Cosmological Argument, Ontological Argument, philosophy
A priori reasoning originates from a Latin word which means, “beforehand.” Knowledge gained from experience is called a posteriori, and knowledge that doesn’t require experience is called a priori.[1] Our primary concern here is with factual knowledge. For example, Little Italy is located in New York on the East Coast of the United States, Plato lived in Athens, Greece, and Seattle, Washington, is in the Pacific Northwest. This type of knowledge is often referred to as “knowledge that” or propositional knowledge because it involves statements or propositions that are [or can be] certain to be true.[2] There are compelling reasons to consider a priori knowledge as a valid form of knowledge. For instance, the statement “bachelors are unmarried men” indicates that a certain level of experience is needed to grasp the meanings of the words “unmarried”…

Gen Z is showing surprising signs of revival—but will it last? As young people flock back to church, the future of their faith may hinge on how parents, pastors, and mentors respond right now! Frank teams up with certified apologist and former California public school teacher, Shanda Fulbright, to discuss some of the challenges associated with discipling the younger generation and what parents can do to help kids ground their beliefs in facts instead of feelings. Together they answer questions like: What does recent research say about Gen Z becoming more interested in Christianity? What do Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, and Wesley Huff have in common? What recent cultural events and trends have contributed to more young people embarking on a truth quest? What are the dangers associated with winning…

Why Philosophical Proofs For God Are Better Than “Scientific” Proofs

2. Does God Exist?, Apologetics, Aquinas’s Five Ways, Argumentation, Arguments for God, BrianHuffling.com, Christianity, ed feser, Gospel, metaphysics, philosophy, science, scientism
Let me first say that I think the “scientific” proofs for God’s existence are very good, as far as they go (I’ll explain why that word is in quotes later). Since middle school one of my hobbies has been backyard astronomy. I am very familiar with the intelligent design arguments from cosmology and biology. They are all very good and very convincing. So, what’s the issue? Well, for one, natural science alone can’t prove God. It needs philosophy. What then makes the scientific arguments good? They are good because they show that the chances for the design (not existence) of the universe and life due to random events are essentially zero. But the jump from probability to cause is a philosophical one. Science, does after all, require the use of…
