Aren’t there reasons NOT to believe in God? Reasons like: Evolution Evil Divine hiddenness For centuries, skeptics have disputed the claims of Christianity―such as the belief in an eternal God and the resurrection of Jesus Christ―arguing that they simply cannot be accepted by reasonable individuals. Furthermore, efforts to demonstrate the evidence and rational basis for Christianity through apologetics are often deemed too simplistic to be taken seriously in intellectual circles. And miracles? Ha! They’ll say anything is more probable than a miracle, even the idea that Jesus had an identical twin! In his new book, Why Believe: A Reasoned Approach…

¿Realmente no tuvimos un Canon del Nuevo Testamento hasta el siglo IV?

Canon Cristiano, Concilio, Español, Iglesia antigua, Ireneo, Justino Martir, Nuevo Testamento, Policarpo, Ryan Leasure, Teofilo de Antioquia

Por Ryan Leasure ¿Es verdad que los documentos del Nuevo Testamento no fueron Escrituras hasta el siglo IV? Es decir, ¿los libros no tenían autoridad hasta que los concilios de la iglesia se la otorgaron? Los eruditos liberales hacen esta sugerencia debido a que elimina cualquier explicación sobrenatural para el canon del Nuevo Testamento. Para ellos, una autoridad bíblica puede ser explicada únicamente en términos humanos. Algunos de nuestros amigos católicos también argumentan a favor del siglo IV, pero por otras razones. Para ellos, la máxima autoridad reside en la iglesia. Por lo tanto, sin el sello de aprobación de la iglesia, el Nuevo Testamento no tendría ninguna autoridad. Pero, ¿es ésta una representación exacta de los documentos del Nuevo Testamento? ¿No eran Escrituras hasta que la Iglesia se pronunció…

Reality Rules: The Transgender War on Women

By Bob Perry Back in the good ‘ole days of 2015, the fight over allowing transgender women to use the women’s bathroom in Charlotte, North Carolina, took center stage in the national political debate. At the time, only a Chicken Little would suggest that mixing gender preference and sexual identity could lead to harmful outcomes. In an article titled, “‘Transgender’ Needs A Legal Definition Right Now or Women Will Get Hurt,” David Marcus pointed out that trans advocates: … insisted that the idea anyone would use the law to dress as a woman and invade women’s private spaces [was] a myth. [But that November] Richard Rodriguez was arrested for dressing as a woman and peeking in stalls in the women’s room at Virginia’s Potomac Mills Mall … [Further, they claimed…

The Pendulum Problem: A Warning of Extreme Beliefs

Are Christians Extreme?, atheist, beliefs, Bible Thumper, Christian Pendulum, Hermeneutic, Melissa Dougherty, Pendulum, Theology and Christian Apologetics

By Melissa Dougherty I have a dog and a cat. Max is my dog whose personality is likened to a lovable, furry, hyperactive toddler. As an anxious dog, nobody is safe from his “watchful” eye. When the doorbell rings, my ferocious dog barks an explosive cry so loud that it vibrates throughout the entire house. His hair stands up, and he aggressively pushes his nose to the door to somehow intimidate his arch nemesis: the poor Amazon delivery dude. “Don’t you hoomans see the problem!? I’m protecting you from the bomb just delivered to our door!” Is a mom walking her baby down the street? A kid riding their bike? Oh, he must inform us about this potential threat by alerting us with all the gusto he can muster because…

Physical chemists are justifiably proud of their tiny motors that do little more than spin. How can they say that much more complex motors in life evolved? Source
