Do you believe the physical resurrection of Jesus really happened? Or maybe it’s all just imaginative storytelling? Culture is doing its best to convince the world there is nothing special about Jesus. Meanwhile, Christianity’s most important historical fact–the resurrection–is often the least studied and most misunderstood, creating a powerless faith. Today on Good Friday, acclaimed apologist and New Testament scholar, Dr. Jeremiah J. Johnston, joins Frank to show why Jesus’ victory over death is central to a believer’s faith while sharing insights from his book, ‘Body of Proof‘. Together they answer questions like: What two things have been at the forefront of Frank’s mind since the murder of Charlie Kirk? Why is the bodily resurrection of Jesus essential to the Christian faith and what research has Jeremiah done on the…

Did Jesus Rise from the Dead?

3. Are Miracles Possible?, 4. Is the NT True?, Apologetics, Christianity, Did Jesus Rise from the Dead?, Gospel, history, IsChristianityTrue.Wordpress.com, New Testament, Resurrection, Steve Lee

When it comes to the fate of Jesus and determining if he rose from the dead, a historian employs a two-step or stage process to uncover the relevant historical facts surrounding the fate of Jesus and then sifts through the various live explanations to determine the best explanation. It is somewhat like being a detective. A detective gathers the clues (the established historical facts) and then solves the case (provides the best explanation for the historical facts). ESTABLISHING THE HISTORICAL FACTS There are four established historical facts or truths concerning the fate of Jesus that are widely accepted by critical scholars today. Here is a quick acronym to remember these four historical truths: BEAT. B = Burial E = Empty Tomb A = Appearances of Christ T = Transformation of the Disciples Dr. Craig…

New-Testament Slavery: Fact vs. Fiction with Dr. Paul Copan

Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, human dignity, morality, New Testament, Paul Copan, philosophy, Podcast, religion, slavery, theology

Does the Bible REALLY support slavery, as skeptics often claim? Last week, Dr. Paul Copan joined Frank to unpack the cultural and theological context of Old Testament passages, like Leviticus 25. This week, Paul returns to examine the New Testament’s most controversial passages on slavery, addressing questions about human dignity, morality, and God’s ultimate plan while answering questions like: What rights and protections did servants actually have under biblical law? What does the punishment for mistreating servants reveal about their dignity and value? How did the Bible call out abuses of slavery and work to humanize servants? What did Paul teach Christians about how to treat slaves in the New Testament? Were there barriers that made abolishing slavery outright impossible in ancient Rome? Why does God sometimes take incremental steps…

The Top 5 Principles of Proper Biblical Interpretation with Mike Winger

Bible, Bible study, Bible Thinker, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Mike Winger, morality, New Testament, Olda testament, philosophy, Podcast, religion, theology

Does your church teach you how to interpret the Bible? Sadly, many Christians never learn the tools to read Scripture well, and that leads to all kinds of confusion about theology. But how can we know if we’re handling God’s Word the right way? This week, Frank sits down with the one and only Mike Winger, a former pastor turned popular YouTuber, who’s dedicated his channel to helping Christians understand the Scriptures. In this episode, Mike shares what led him to take his ministry online and explains the five core principles he uses when studying the Bible—principles many churches don’t talk about, but every believer should know! During their conversation, Frank and Mike will dive into questions like: Why do some churches seem to avoid the topic of how to…

Does Jesus Ever Talk About Homosexuality?

4. Is the NT True?, Apologetics, Bible, Christianity, cultural apologetics, gender and sexuality, Gospel, Hillary Ferrer, Homosexuality, MamaBearApologetics.com, New Testament, Theology and Christian Apologetics

I was in my mid-20s living in San Diego. I joined some people from a nearby church and went to a Pride parade to pass out water, give hugs, and hold signs saying “We are sorry the church hasn’t loved you the way Jesus would” (or something along those lines). All of a sudden, I was descended upon by a film crew with a microphone asking me what Jesus had to say about homosexuality. I was not expecting this, but I was giddy to share the love of Christ and talk about how we are all sinners saved by grace and how Jesus never singled out homosexuality as worse than any other type of sexual immorality. In the middle of my sentence (which I had been certain would be received with amazement,…

Alex O’Connor Misses The Mark On His Distinction Between Types Of Worship

Alex O’Connor, Apologetics, ChristianConcern.com, Christianity, David Wood, debate, Deity of Christ, Gospel, Latreuo, New Testament, Proskuneo, Sean Redfearn, Theology and Christian Apologetics, worship

A key argument in Alex O’Connor’s debate with David Wood is the distinction Alex draws (in his first rebuttal) between “proskuneo” (Gk: προσκυνέω) worship and “latreuo” (Gk: λατρεύω) worship. Both proskuneo worship and latreuo worship are biblical terms used to describe worship or service to God, but they carry different shades of meaning. Proskuneo means to physically bow down, or prostrate oneself in order to show reverence. Latreuo means to serve or honour in a religious or sacrificial sense. In Romans 12:1 for example, Paul tells us to offer our bodies as a living sacrifice as latreuo to God). The crux of Alex’s argument is that, on these two senses of worship, Jesus never receives latreuo worship in the way that only God does, and there is nothing special about…

The Top 3 Reasons Why We Can Believe in the Resurrection – Part 2

apostles, Christian Apologetics, Christianity, Dr. Frank Turek, Impact Event, morality, New Testament, philosophy, Podcast, religion, the resurrection, theology

Last week, Frank introduced three compelling reasons to believe in the resurrection, including embarrassing details and eyewitness testimony. In this midweek episode, he jumps back into more archaeological discoveries that include names of people involved in the death and crucifixion of Jesus and how the excruciating deaths of the eyewitnesses offer powerful evidence that they weren’t lying as well. He also answers questions like: Did any of the apostles recant their eyewitness testimony and is it possible that they were hallucinating? Were the apostles motivated to invent the resurrection story and should their testimony be dismissed because they were Christians? Is martyrdom also evidence that Islam is true? What does Spiderman have to do with the reliability of the New Testament? Is the New Testament just a work of historical…
