Who Does God Say That I Am?

Who Do We Say We Are? Have you ever met someone who thinks too highly of themselves? Of course you have. At some time or another, everyone thinks too highly of themselves. We live in a self-absorbed, screen-addicted, narcissistic age. And with all our time in front of screens, it’s a lot like a mirror. Staring into the internet abyss, eventually we see ourselves, like the proverbial Narcissus, staring back at us with a smirk. Obviously, we could all reduce our screen time, but that’s just one example of a larger problem. The bigger problem is: how do we communicate biblical encouragement about our identity when people tend to think they’re pretty amazing already? This is the plight we’re facing. People in general are not suffering from vanishingly low self-esteem.…

Genderbread Person Part 4: Sexual and Romantic Attraction

In the final installment of the Genderbread Person series, we will discuss attraction. (See parts 1, 2, and 3 of this series here: gender identity, gender expression, and biological sex) This article will probably be the most confusing out of all the Genderbread identity articles, but in order to help our kids navigate this landscape, we must know what they are being taught in school. I don’t promise that this one will be an easy ride. Find yourself a quiet spot, maybe bring along a notebook to make diagrams, and let’s look at the Genderbread Person’s definitions of attraction and break the concepts down one by one. Does desiring emotional intimacy with someone mean that they are sexually or romantically attracted to the person? #apologetics #healthysexuality Share on X In regard to whom one is attracted to, the…

The Prior Environmental Fitness of Nature: An Argument for the Existence of God

2. Does God Exist?, Apologetics, Christianity, design argument, Environmental Fitness of Nature, Gospel, Intelligent Design, JonathanMclatchie.com, scientific apologetics, teleology
In the sixteenth century, the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) developed a model of the solar system which placed the Sun, rather than the Earth, at its center. Shortly before his death in 1543, Copernicus published his book, On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres.[1] This sparked the beginning of a major scientific paradigm shift and marked the dawn of the Copernican Revolution, ultimately leading to the widespread abandonment of the Aristotelian geocentric model of the solar system and the acceptance of the heliocentric model in its place. Today, the Copernican revolution is thought by many to have dethroned man from his central place in nature. Recent scientific breakthroughs, however, have brought the debate over man’s place in the cosmos full circle. Over the past several decades, science has amassed considerable evidence…

Genderbread Person Part 3: Biological Sex

Apologetics, Christianity, gender, Genderbread Person, Gospel, Hillary Ferrer, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, LGBTQ, MamaBearApologetics.com, Queer Theory, sex
Nothing summarizes our discussion more today than the famous scene from Kindergarten Cop where a little boy respectfully raises his hand to speak and waits to be called upon. His words of wisdom for the class that he so ardently and patiently waited to share? “Boys have a penis. Girls have a vagina.” In 1990, this was considered so obvious that it was part of the joke. Fast forward thirty years, and a statement like this could now be prosecuted as hate speech.  According to the genderbread person curriculum image, the simple definition of biological sex is: “. . . the physical traits you are born with or develop that we think of as ‘sex characteristics,’ as well as the sex you are assigned at birth.” Let’s break this statement down. Perception…

A Summary of The Problem of Evil for Atheists

2. Does God Exist?, Apologetics, Christianity, ConvincingProof.org, evidential argument from evil., Gospel, John Trapasso, logical problem of evil, Problem of Evil, Theology and Christian Apologetics, Yujin Nagasawa
Yujin Nagasawa’s The Problem of Evil for Atheists seeks to transform the debate on the problem of evil by demonstrating that this topic poses a significant challenge to almost all worldviews—not just traditional theism. In addition, Nagasawa claims traditional theists are better equipped to deal with the problem than their competitors. Part 1 begins with a systematic analysis of the problem of evil for traditional theists. Nagasawa shows the general “scheme” of the problem always consists of three essential variables: (I) God, (II) evil, and (III) an allegedly conflicting relationship between (I) and (II). Different versions of the problem of evil for theism can be created by tweaking variables (II) and (III). For (III), the “conflicting relationship” can be considered either as a logical inconsistency or as constituting strong evidence against (I).…

What About Other Religions?

Apologetics, bellatorchristi.com, Christianity, Exclusivism, Gospel, Inclusivism, Pluralism, religion, religious tolerance, Theology and Christian Apologetics, Tony Williams, World Religions
One of the challenges skeptics like to level at Christianity is the argument that there are hundreds and hundreds of religions in existence. How could you possibly know which one is the right one? Who are Christians to think that they have the right one? No one could possibly sift through all the possibilities. Perhaps it would be helpful to clarify what a religion is, how many religions there are, and how we can know we have the right one. Religion, Defined        In order to have a meaningful conversation about any topic, we must make sure to clarify our terms. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary (1), the definition of “religion” would include [some combination of] the following: an organized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices the religious beliefs, observances,…

Does Loving Your Neighbor Require You to Vote?

Apologetics, Christianity, David Baggett, FreeThinkingMinistries.com, Gospel, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Politics, Stewardship, Tim Stratton
One Christian philosopher who has most influenced my thinking is Dr. David Baggett. Few scholars have done more to defend the Moral Argument for God’s existence. His work has profoundly shaped my own thinking about morality, human dignity, and libertarian freedom, and I remain deeply grateful for his influence—and, more importantly, his friendship. For that reason, I was genuinely surprised when David and his wife, MaryBeth, recently announced that they no longer identify as evangelical Christians. Their explanation was centered upon what they regard as the unhealthy political trajectory of modern evangelicalism. In their view, too many evangelicals have allowed politics to eclipse discipleship, confusing the Kingdom of God with partisan power and sacrificing Christian witness in the process of casting votes for Republicans. After reading David’s reflections, I became…

Genderbread Person Part 2: Gender Expression (And maybe how we got to where we are now?)

Apologetics, Christianity, cultural apologetics, gender and sexuality, Genderbread Person, Gospel, Hillary Ferrer, identity, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, MamaBearApologetics
In our previous blog, we introduced you to the Genderbread curriculum, a teaching guide that tells kids as young as kindergarten how to think of sex and gender as a really confusing, multi-variable continuum where the two are mostly unrelated to each other. While I want to give parents the tools for how to think through and discuss these topics with their kids, today we are going to take a bit of a historical detour. Why? Because sometimes the key to understanding and fixing where we went wrong is to identify how we got there in the first place. What were the causal factors that might have contributed? When we identify those, we can hopefully avoid repeating the mistakes of the past and return to a healthier approach. In today’s blog, that…

The Genderbread Person, Part 1: Gender Identity

Apologetics, Christianity, Culture and Politics, gender identity, Genderbread Person, Gospel, Hillary Ferrer, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, MamaBearApologetics.com, Queer, Queer Theory, sexuality, Woke
Forget the muffin man. Do you know the Genderbread Person? If not, you need to—and especially if you have kids. The Genderbread Person is now a commonly used craft for teaching kids (at least those young enough to be interested in anthropomorphic gingerbread cookies) how to identify the various LGBTQ identities. (The Gender Unicorn is another similar curriculum that is used, but more for older students. They are basically the same concepts.) So, today we begin a four-part series discussing what aspects of sexuality and gender are being taught through this curriculum, and how parents can understand and discuss the implications of it. Before we start this series, though, I want to point everyone back to one of the original posts we did on two questions we need to ask ourselves before we begin speaking…

6 Reasons Why It’s OK to Judge

Apologetics, Christianity, Discernment, FreeThinkingMinistries.com, judging, Judgmentalism, Peter Rasor, The5MinuteThinker, theology, Theology and Christian Apologetics
“Hey, stop judging me! You can’t judge me and my beliefs!” How many times have we heard something like this? The implication of such an exclamation is clear: someone’s personal beliefs about religion or morality are off limits—they cannot be discerned to be right or wrong. Beliefs are subjective and thus true for some and not others. Such a sentiment fences off one’s beliefs from being analyzed and weighed for validity. But is it true that we should not judge others’ beliefs? Are religious and moral beliefs really just personal opinions? I suggest we all ought to judge people and their beliefs, and it’s o.k. Really. Here are six reasons why. A real world exists For one thing, a real world exists outside one’s own perceptions. If you disagree, just…
