Dialogue and Christian Apologetics: A Biblical-Theological Overview

Apologetics, bellatorchristi.com, Christianity, dialogue, Evangelism Categories: Theology and Christian Apologetics, Gospel, Leo Percer, Practical Apologetics, Theology and Christian Apologetics

Christian apologetics is often understood as the task of defending the faith—giving reasons why believing in Christ is rational, true, and worthy of commitment. Scripture itself urges believers to be “ready to give an answer” for the hope that is in them (1 Pet. 3:15). Yet the Bible presents this defense not merely as the delivery of arguments, but as something that takes place within dialogue: real conversations with real people. A biblical-theological view shows that dialogue is not a compromise of apologetics, but one of its essential forms. The Pattern From the start, God’s revelation to humanity unfolds in a dialogical way. God speaks, humans respond; God questions, humans answer; God rebukes, invites, and restores. This pattern reaches its fullness in Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh. Jesus rarely preached…

Have you noticed that the world has collectively lost its mind? Between the push to “decolonize” education and the rise of mandatory DEI training, the landscape of the American university has shifted from a place of open inquiry to a battlefield of competing ideologies. What’s behind the madness? Frank catches up with Arizona State University philosophy professor, Dr. Owen Anderson, to get an update on his high-stakes hearing with the Arizona Supreme Court. Owen shares his unique perspective on how cultural Marxism continues to silence free speech, logic, and the Christian worldview in many public universities–and why he’s not backing down despite the consequences. Together, Frank and Owen answer questions like: Why did Owen make the decision to engage in a legal battle when most people would just follow…

Some Definitional Drawbacks In Atheism

2. Does God Exist?, agnosticism, Apologetics, Atheism, Christianity, Gospel, intelligentchristianfaith.com, John Ferrer, Philosophical Theology, skepticism, theism, What is Atheism? Definitions

In a previous article I wrote about how “atheism” is best understood as a belief that there is no God. Those who prefer to describe themselves as merely “lacking God-belief” would do better to describe themselves as “negative atheists” as that is the more precise term. As a postlude to that article, I think it’s important to state why this stuff matters. I’m not confident that that this definitional minutia matters a lot. It matters. But it’s not of ultimate importance. Far more important things deserve discussion. Nevertheless, this stuff matters enough to deserve at least a little observation here. Here are some reasons why I think this stuff matters. First, Negative Atheism Comports With God’s existence Perhaps the biggest most glaring problem with the “new” (negative/soft/weak) atheism is that it’s compatible…

If the supernatural world of angels and demons described in the Bible is real, what tangible evidence exists for it today? And where do aliens and UFOs fit into the biblical worldview? Frank sits down with journalist, author, and digital TV host, Billy Hallowell, to discuss his new documentary film, Investigating the Supernatural: Angels and Demons. From demonic possession to miraculous healings and unexplained encounters, Billy shares what he’s uncovered, and how to separate what’s real from what isn’t. Tune in as Frank and Billy answer questions like: What led Billy to investigate angels and demons? Why is it healthy (and necessary) to be skeptical of supernatural stories? Is eyewitness testimony sufficient evidence for supernatural (and alien) encounters? What is Paul talking about in Ephesians 6:10? What’s the difference between…

Which God When There are 3,000 to Choose From?

2. Does God Exist?, Apologetics, Arguments for God, Atheism, Christianity, Exclusivism, God, Gospel, Sean Redfearn, theism, which Religion?, Worldview

When I went to university, I encountered the biggest intellectual doubt I’ve ever faced as a Christian: How can I be sure that Christianity is true? Here was my thinking: “Can I really claim that I have the right religion when there are 3,000 others to choose from?” You might have come across a form of this argument via the atheist comedian Ricky Gervais. As I went to university, I knew that I couldn’t keep my faith, nor share it with any real conviction, unless I knew that Christianity was true (1 Cor 15:14). I had to know which God was the correct one. Ultimately, philosophy was the primary force that drove the cementation of my Christian faith.[i] Categories of Theism As I wrestled with this doubt, I discovered that…

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, digital parenting, Dr. Frank Turek, faith and feelings, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, salvation, theology

Are strong emotional experiences required for salvation? Can you be a true follower of Jesus if you don’t “feel” saved? Many Christians wrestle with the gap between what they believe and what they experience during worship or Bible study time . But does the saving grace of Jesus come from a feeling or a decision? This week, Frank unpacks the danger of grounding your faith solely on feelings. He also tackles other listener questions related to politics, culture, and from a liberal listener on parenting in a digital age. Questions addressed include: Is a lack of emotion during worship a sign of a weak faith? What are the 3 essential aspects of human psychology? How is marriage in this life an illustration of our ultimate union with Christ? What’s the…

Jonah and the Big Fish, Part 2

3. Are Miracles Possible?, Anthony Williams, Apologetics, Archaeology, Assyria, bellatorchristi.com, Big Fish, Christianity, Gospel, history, Jonah, miracles, Nineveh, Old Testament, Prophet

In my previous article, Jonah and the Big Fish Part 1, I spoke about Jonah, the wayward prophet who initially tried to avoid God’s command to warn the people of Nineveh about the impending judgment they were about to receive for the wickedness of their culture. In that article, I discussed the identity of Jonah, who is also mentioned in 2 Kings, as well as the historical realities of Israel, Nineveh (an Assyrian city), and the archaeology that helps us connect what is written to what has been found in the dirt, including what was known for centuries as the grave of Jonah near the lost (but now found) city of Nineveh. I will hereafter do my best to add to the historical and Biblical evidence to show that Jonah and…

Messianic Jew Reveals: Are Christians REALLY Being Persecuted in Israel? with Jeff Morgan

Christian Apologetics, Christian persecution, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Holy Land, Israel Christians, Jeff Morgan, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology, Tucker Carlson

Is the state of Israel actually hostile toward Christians, or are viral claims from figures like Tucker Carlson distorting the truth and misleading the masses? This week, Messianic Jew and missionary, Jeff Morgan, joins Frank to drop a “boots on the ground” report on what it’s really like to live and share the Gospel in the Holy Land. Jeff shares his journey from secular Judaism to faith in Christ and pulls back the curtain on the surprising camaraderie (and the real tensions) between Israelis, Arabs, and Christians. Tune in as they answer questions like: Why did Jeff feel “spiritually tormented” for many years and how did he become a Messianic Jew? Why did he name his new ministry ‘Highway 53’? What has Jeff personally experienced as a Messianic Jew living…

Jonah and the Big Fish (Part 1)

3. Are Miracles Possible?, Anthony Williams, Apologetics, Archaeology, Assyria, bellatorchristi.com, Big Fish, Christianity, Gospel, history, Jonah, miracles, Nineveh, Old Testament, Prophet

The Book of Jonah is very short, only four chapters long. It tells of a prophet named Jonah who was told by God to go to the great city of Nineveh and warn them of a coming judgment. Jonah goes the opposite way on a ship, but a violent storm ends with Jonah being tossed overboard by the sailors because they learn he is fleeing from God. Jonah is swallowed by a great fish, and after three days and some prayers of repentance, he is spit out at Nineveh. [1] He gives his short warning and waits for God to destroy the evil inhabitants. However, the Ninevites repent, and God spares them from the judgment. Jonah is upset with God, Who reminds Jonah that He (God) has every right to…
