Busting One Of Bart Ehrman’s Favorite Bible Contradictions

Apologetics, Bart Ehrman, bible contradictions, Erik Manning, IsJesusAlive, New Testament, theology, Theology and Christian Apologetics

By Erik Manning Skeptics say that the gospels are riddled with contradictions and therefore are not reliable historical sources. And these same skeptics say that some of these contradictions are downright absurd. For example, agnostic NT scholar Bart Ehrman points out one of his favorite Bible contradictions in his book best-selling book, Jesus, Interrupted. One of my favorite apparent discrepancies—I read John for years without realizing how strange this one is—comes in Jesus’ “Farewell Discourse,” the last address that Jesus delivers to his disciples, at his last meal with them, which takes up all of chapters 13 to 17 in the Gospel according to John. In John 13:36, Peter says to Jesus, “Lord, where are you going?” A few verses later Thomas says, “Lord, we do not know where you are going” (John…

Reflecting God’s Character in Apologetics

By Mikel Del Rosario Character Counts Our spiritual conversations should reflect God’s character Explaining reasons to believe doesn’t have to strictly be an intellectual thing. In fact, it shouldn’t be—especially when we’re talking to our skeptical friends, neighbors, and others who see Christianity differently. No, apologetics is way more profound in terms of its role in cultural engagement. Character plays a key role in this. And it isn’t just about adding memorized apologetic answers to your life. Developing a Christian character needs to be part of our discipleship to Jesus. I can’t tell you how many times the importance of character has come up in my work with other apologists, in my ministry, and in my teaching at William Jessup University. Let me give you just four examples from my…

Oposición Dominica al Conocimiento Medio

Apologética, Conocimiento Medio, Cristianismo, Español, Life and Theology, MacGregor Kirk, Molina, Oposición Dominica, Soteriología, Teología

En 1588 los teólogos Dominicos Domingo Báñez (1528-1604) y Tomas de Lemos (1555-1629) surgieron como los principales oponentes del conocimiento medio. Báñez y Lemos propusieron tres críticas importantes sobre la doctrina.[1] Primero, contradice el entendimiento de Aquino sobre la concurrencia general de Dios. Para Aquino, la concurrencia general constituía la soberana generación de eventos por parte de Dios al actuar directamente sobre agentes secundarios (por ejemplo, los humanos), moviéndolos previamente y trabajando a través de ellos para producir esos eventos. Con el fin de hacer de Dios el autor únicamente de los eventos buenos y no de los malos, Aquino derivó una fuerte distinción entre concurrencia eficaz e ineficaz. La concurrencia eficaz ocurre cuando los agentes secundarios producen efectos que Dios tiene como propósito que estos generen; en este caso,…

What Does Paul Say About Homosexuality?

Apologetics, Bible, Christianity, Culture, Homosexuality, JesusIsNotFakeNews, New Testament, Paul, Ryan Leasure, theology, Theology and Christian Apologetics

By Ryan Leasure In this post, we’re asking the question: What does Paul say about homosexuality? To find out, we need to investigate Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, and 1 Timothy 1:9-10. Let’s consider each text in turn. Romans 1:26-27 This passage is probably the most significant biblical text addressing homosexuality. In the broader context, we read that God reveals his wrath from heaven against all ungodliness. Even though people know God exists through natural revelation, they have suppressed the truth and worshipped idols instead. Therefore, God hands them over to their depraved minds. Verses 26-27 give us an example of this depravity: For this reason, God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature (para physin); and the men…
