Defending the Deity of Jesus in John 1

2. Does God Exist?, Apologetics, bellatorchristi.com, Christianity, Deity of Christ, Gospel, Gospel of John, Greek, Justin Angelos, Koine Categories: Does God Exist?
John 1:1 is one of the most important verses in the Gospel of St. John to understand grammatically in English but more importantly in Greek. “In the Beginning was the word and the word was with God and the Word was God” (John 1:1) Εν αρχή ἧν ὁ λόγος και ὁ λόγος ἧν προς τον θεόν και θεός ἧν ὁ λόγος[i][ii] The reason is this verse is always under attack by various non-Christian religious groups and even faiths who claim to be Christian but, do not accept Jesus Christ as God the Son (The second person of the Trinity). The two words I want to focus on is “God” and “Word” or Θεός ἧν ὁ Λόγος (Theos hēn hŏ logos). What I am going to focus on is the grammatical…

67 Innocent Lives Perish in Plane Crash: Why Didn’t God Intervene? with Dr. Andy Steiger

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Andy Steiger, Dr. Frank Turek, evil, God, morality, philosophy, Plane Crash, Podcast, religion, Suffering, theology
Tragic events like the devastating collision between American Airlines Eagle Flight 5342 and a military Black Hawk helicopter that claimed the lives of 67 innocent people shake us to our core and leave us asking deep, unsettling questions. Questions like, where was God and why would He allow this to happen? Suffering is an unavoidable part of life, making it crucial for Christians to reconcile God’s goodness with the presence of evil. This week, Frank sits down with Dr. Andy Steiger, co-creator of the new video series, ‘Can I Trust the Bible?‘, and President of Apologetics Canada, to tackle one of the most difficult topics in apologetics: the problem of evil. During their conversation, they will answer questions like: Does the presence of evil disprove God? What does it mean to…

What About the Crusades? Myths and Facts.

Apologetics, Christianity, Church History, Colonization, Crusades, Gospel, historical apologetics, history, https://ischristianitytrue.wordpress.com/, imperialism, Islam, Steve Lee, Theology and Christian Apologetics
Misinformation on the Crusades continues unabated in contemporary society. From former president Obama mentioning it in a prayer breakfast speech, to Trump’s nomination of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, to Clinton’s 2001 speech at Georegetown University which blames the current increase of Islamic terrorist activity, such as 9/11, as fallout from the Crusades. I wrote a short article for the Apologetics Study Bible for Students over this topic.  Here is a small snippet from that piece.  Following that is a list of resources that are from historical experts on the Crusades that expose many of the myths surrounding the event. Excerpt from the Apologetics Study Bible for Students “Ask any individual about the Crusades and you will probably get an answer like, ‘They were wars of unprovoked aggression by Christians against a peaceful Muslim world which…

Is Drag Queen Story Hour really about tolerance, diversity, and acceptance or is something more sinister going on? This episode comes with a trigger warning because it’s not suitable for children and touches on a topic that will be disturbing for many people. Last week, Natasha Crain joined Frank to discuss her brand new book, ‘When Culture Hates You: Persevering for the Common Good as Christians in a Hostile Public Square.’ This week, Natasha returns to unpack the sobering final chapter that investigates the evils of the “sexual liberation of children” (SLC) and the subtle ways that kids (and the people who raise them) are being targeted. During this podcast episode, Frank and Natasha will answer questions like: Who are the founders of SLC and how has their “research” infiltrated academia? What is the ultimate goal of Queer…
