If I Were a Mormon: A More Coherent View of God

2. Does God Exist?, Apologetics, Christianity, God, Gospel, Molinism, Mormonism, Philosophical Theology, Theology and Christian Apologetics, Theology Proper, Tim Stratton, Who is God?, www.FreeThinkingMinistries.com
Over the past several years—especially since 2018—I’ve made multiple trips to Utah every year. I’ve honestly lost count of how many times I’ve been out there, but it’s starting to feel like a second home. I can understand why Brigham Young reportedly said, “This is the place.” It’s beautiful. One of the things I appreciate most about Utah is the culture of open conversation. In many places, people are told to avoid discussing politics or religion. But that’s not the case in Utah. From a young age, Utahns are encouraged to think about what they believe—and to share it with others (often culminating in a two-year mission going door to door). That creates an extremely unique environment where meaningful conversations can actually happen. Because of this culture, those who reject…

Join Frank and Martin as they answer quesitons like: What is Martin’s unique approach to evangelizing Muslims? How do Muhammad’s life and personal actions compare to the moral character of Jesus?

Why Is ASU’s New College Requiring Confessional Rituals?

anti-Christian, Anti-western, Apologetics, Christianity, Decolonization, DrOwenAnderson.substack.com, Land Acknowledgment, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, liberalism, Marxism, Native Americans, Owen Anderson, Progressivism, Woke
At Arizona State University’s New College (where I serve as a tenured full professor of philosophy and religion) the faculty recently voted to make a Native American Land Acknowledgment the official college policy. Until now, these statements were read at the beginning of faculty meetings. At times, faculty were even asked to bow their heads and close their eyes during the reading. What was once a practice has now become policy. That should raise an obvious question: Why is a state university (supposedly committed to political neutrality) requiring what looks very much like a public confession? What Is Actually Being Claimed?           The justification provided by the college reads: “Therefore, be it resolved, the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences adopts the official land acknowledgment of Arizona State University in…

The Muslim Brotherhood Tried to Kill His Family – What Happened Next? with Pastor Martin Sedra

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Islam, Martin Sedra, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, Religious Freedom, theology, Western culture
They tried to murder his family. So how did a religion with a centuries-long history of violence become successfully rebranded as the “religion of peace”? With the growing sympathy from liberals in the West and the passivity of the Church, could Sharia law eventually gain a foothold in America? Martin Sedra, pastor of Echo Church in Australia, joins Frank to offer a sobering wake-up call regarding Islam’s strategic mission to influence and dominate Western culture. Tune in as they discuss why Martin has dedicated his life and ministry to exposing Islam’s sinister agenda and what the Church must do NOW to protect religious freedom in the West. Together they answer questions like: What terrifying (and possibly supernatural) event happened to Martin’s family when they lived in Egypt? How did Egypt…

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…

How a University Turned Jesus Into an Oppressor — One Professor’s Fight Against DEI with Dr. Owen Anderson

 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…

Angels, Demons, and Aliens: What’s the Evidence? with Billy Hallowell

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…
