Three Ways to Recognize False Guilt

1. Does Truth Exist?, Bobby Conway, Christianity Still Makes Sense, ChristianityStillMakesSense.com, Culture CrossExamined, False guilt, guilt, morality, salvation
Lord knows we have enough true guilt going around that we hardly need to concern ourselves with this extra layer of toxic false guilt, which is seemingly all too ready to accuse us. But how can we know whether the guilt we are experiencing is true or false? What are some of the signs to be aware of? While this list is far from exhaustive, here are three ways to recognize false guilt. First, False Guilt Masquerades As True Guilt This form of false guilt is not true guilt, in that we are not truly guilty of committing a moral trespass, but merely a disguised version of it that claims we are guilty when we are not. In today’s culture, there is a new kind of guilt being pawned off…

Podcast: Play in new window Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Android | iHeartRadio | Email | TuneIn | RSS There certainly has been something nefarious going on with the making of the movie ‘Nefarious‘. Sicknesses, accidents, technical difficulties, and much more disrupted the production of the new film (reminiscent of C.S. Lewis’ Screwtape Letters) released on April 14th. Were these accidents all the result of mere coincidences? Or was true spiritual warfare at play? This week, Frank interviews , the writer of the novel ‘A Nefarious Plot‘, to discuss the good, the scary, and the downright strange occurrences that took place while working on the book’s film adaptation. In spite of all of the events that could’ve brought this film to a halt, ‘Nefarious’ has finally hit theaters and…

Mis cielos – no están en las estrellas

Apologética, Cristianos, Español, Freethiking Ministries, Josh Klein, Preguntas Sobre el Cielo, Teología
Por Josh Klein Los Cuatro Jinetes del ateísmo irrumpieron en la escena cultural, filosófica y espiritual a principios del siglo XXI. Sus posiciones dogmáticas ateas (o incluso antiteístas, según con quién se hable) se popularizaron de inmediato. El difunto Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett y Sam Harris formaban parte del equipo. Llevaron su vitriolo contra el pensamiento religioso a la corriente principal, buscando, por lo que parecía ser la primera vez, hacer proselitismo entre la gente religiosa para que se convirtiera al ateísmo. Estos hombres fueron apodados “Los nuevos ateos” por la cultura popular y parecían tomar el mundo por asalto, a menudo denigrando a sus oponentes como estúpidos y retrógrados. Simplones creyentes de mitos. El libro de Richard Dawkins, El espejismo de Dios, provocó ondas en el cristianismo…
