It seems the debate has not progressed much in a century and a half. Clearly, these evolutionary theorists think they have an unanswerable line of attack here. Source

Religious Pluralism: What About Those That Have Never Heard the Gospel?

Apologetics, Christianity, Evangelism, Exclusivism, Gospel, Inclusivism Categories: Theology and Christian Apologetics, IsChristianityTrue.Wordpress.com, Pluralism, Steve Lee, Theology and Christian Apologetics, tolerance, universalism, World Religions
Several years back my eldest son who was in fifth grade at the time was brushing his teeth and getting ready for bed. He stepped into the hall and yanked the toothbrush out of his mouth, slinging toothpaste against the wall, and asked, “Dad, dad! What about those people who have never heard about Jesus? Do they go to hell?” First, what fifth grader thinks about such things when they are brushing their teeth (apparently mine). Second, this has been one of the formidable issues that I believe any reflective Christian can contemplate. The issue at hand is that it seems unfair to us for God to not provide salvation to someone just because they did not get a chance (because of historical or geographical reasons) to hear the gospel…

Angels & Demons, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Islam, morality, Pastor Allen Jackson, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
We see the battle between good and evil throughout the Bible and in the world around us. But do angels and demons influence our lives today and if they do, how do they interact with us? Joining Frank on the program this week is Pastor Allen Jackson from World Outreach Church in Murfreesboro, TN. Under his humble yet confident leadership, the church has grown from fewer than 30 people to over 15,000 since 1989. His new book, ‘Angels, Demons & You: Unseen Spiritual Influences in Our Lives‘, provides a biblical perspective on the reality of spiritual forces and how they impact our daily lives. Together, Frank and Allen answer questions like: What happened to Allen’s mom that led to his whole family being born again? How did World Outreach Church…

The Day the Veil Was Torn: An Evangelical’s Awakening in London

I spent years studying Shia Islam from within, earning an MA in Islamic Studies from the Islamic College in London. My goal was to understand Islam on its terms, not merely as an outsider, but as a serious student of its theology, history, and lived reality. This academic path wasn’t just about gaining knowledge; it was rooted in a deep desire to build bridges between Christians and Muslims through respectful dialogue. I believed that rigorous study, combined with empathy and grace, could overcome centuries of misunderstanding and mistrust. That belief shaped my posture in interfaith spaces for years. However, on October 7, 2023, I was confronted with a reality that no classroom or textbook had prepared me for. What I encountered in the streets of London that day shook the…
