What Does the Bible Say About Illegal Immigration? My Friendly Response to a Well-known Pentecostal Pastor

Apologetics, Border Patrol, Christianity, cultural apologetics, Gospel, government, ICE, illegal immigration, Immigrant, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, open borders, Politics, Race, Racism, Undocumented
The topic of immigration is boiling over these days. It’s complex and emotional, especially when it affects our communities and families. Recently, a well-known Puerto Rican Pentecostal pastor named Omar Lugo  presented a Facebook video and a written post on this issue, citing various Bible verses that discuss how we should treat foreigners. His approach seemed to suggest that human laws regarding immigration shouldn’t matter because divine laws are above them (without explaining how they directly contradict God’s law). While I share his concern for showing compassion, I believe his argument stems from biblical silence and fails to demonstrate that current immigration laws violate God’s law. The Argument from Silence in Biblical Interpretation Pastor Omar used passages like Leviticus 19:33-34, Exodus 22:21, Deuteronomy 10:18-19, Zechariah 7:10, Matthew 25:35, Hebrews 13:2,…

We hear that technology will set us free and that identity is whatever we choose. What we’re not being told is how these promises unravel reality itself, leaving us restless and confused in a world where we can no longer tell what is true. Embrace the Truth president Abdu Murray returns to the program to continue the discussion about his brand-new book, ‘Fake ID‘, and share practical tips for how we can navigate today’s two cultural tsanamis of artificial intelligence and identity ideology. Together, Frank and Abdu answer questions like: What does it mean to say that humans are made in the image of God? Why does humanity collapse when objective truth goes away? Why does increased digital connection make us feel more lonely and depressed? What shocking story did…

Stranger Things: Was Vecna a Victim?

Apologetics, Christianity, cultural apologetics, FreeThinkingMinistries.com, Gospel, Henry Creel, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Netflix, Richard Eng, Stranger Things, Vecna
***This review of Stranger Things Season 5 contains major spoilers. Consider yourself warned. It’s a new year, and the end of an era. Stranger Things, the wildly successful Netflix show, has officially concluded. I watched the show as a fan but also as one who is interested in the underlying worldview. No piece of media is completely neutral. In fact, the arts are meant to be an imaginative exploration of ideas. In story, you don’t just observe beliefs, you inhabit them as an “insider.” If you are not familiar with the show, I would warn that it contains language, violence, and at times depictions of what I determine to be demonic. Season 4 was particularly demonic, and I almost stopped watching. But I was a youth pastor at the time,…

A Case for an Eternal Hell (Part 1): A Biblical Defense

annihilationism, Apologetics, bellatorchristi.com, Brian Chilton, Christianity, ECT, end times, eschatology, eternal conscious torment, Gospel, Hell, Theology and Christian Apologetics
Recently, the Christian world was abuzz with the news that popular Christian star Kirk Cameron had considered switching his view of hell from the traditional view to annihilationism.[1] While I will not engage the specific comments made by Kirk Cameron on his podcast, I do think that it is important to discuss the topic of hell’s duration, annihilationism, and the traditional view known as eternal conscious torment (ECT). Also, we should note that Kirk is working through his beliefs about hell. Therefore, this article and series are not a response to Kirk Cameron or his beliefs. Rather, the series serves as a necessary engagement on a hotly contested issue. This article is the first of a three-part series defending the traditional view of hell, otherwise known as ECT. The series will…

Should Frank ‘cancel’ Megyn Kelly because they disagree on some issues? The previous podcast episode with Megyn sparked a wave of critical comments from listeners, and this week Frank addresses their concerns head-on. Next, he answers a series of listener questions related to biblical interpretation, legitimate reasons to divorce, qualifications for church elders, evidence for the origin of the universe, and other questions like: Why did Frank invite Megyn Kelly on the show?

How does the acronym S.T.O.P. help us understand how to read and interpret the Bible? What’s the difference between a descriptive and prescriptive passage in…

The Status of Women According to Islam

Apologetics, Christianity, cultural apologetics, Feminism, Gospel, Hadiths, Islam, Islamic Theology, JonathanMclatchie.com, Legislating Morality, Culture & Politics, Muslims, women
The status of women in Islam is a subject enshrouded in controversy. According to many Muslims, Muhammad was a champion of women’s rights, bestowing upon the women in his community privileges and rights that they did not have previously. The notion that women in pre-Islamic Arabia had no rights, however, is demonstrably untrue. Former Muslim Nabeel Qureshi lists some of the rights that women had in pre-Islamic Arabia, which included ease of divorce, the ability to marry multiple men, and become overlords. Women were even able to propose for marriage, as in fact was the case with respect to Khadija’s marriage to Muhammad. To outsiders, the hijab is often viewed as a symbol of oppression. Since April 2011, wearing of head coverings (including hijabs) in public places has even been…

What the Mainstream Media Doesn’t Tell You About Immigration Law with Megyn Kelly

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, ICE, immigration, Law, Lawyer, Megyn Kelly, morality, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology
Why is the biblical (and common sense) purpose of the government to punish wrongdoers being reversed in Minnesota? Federal agents are being blocked from arresting criminals, local officials are shielding criminals from accountability while sweeping massive amounts of fraud under the rug, and anti-ICE agitators are disrupting worship services without any local police response? Who is in the right, legally? Political journalist Megyn Kelly joins the program to expose the legal reality behind the radical activism happening in Minnesota and the growing conflict between the feds and the state. Drawing on her experience as a lawyer, Megyn explains clearly and concisely why sanctuary cities are defying federal authority, and why Americans (especially Christians) can no longer afford to stay silent as Islam quietly gains ground in the West. Together, Frank and…
