Many times we as believers are called upon to put our faith “on the shelf” when engaging in discussion with the world. Greg Bahnsen in the book Always Ready begins by discussing “neutrality” in Christian thinking and apologetics. Should we approach unbelievers “with a common attitude of neutrality – ‘a nobody knows as yet’ attitude”? [...]

Many secular scientists believe that the elements that comprise the human body, such as carbon, iron, and calcium, had their origin in large stars which then exploded and spread these heavy elements throughout the galaxy. Carl Sagan put it this way, “A star is a kind of cosmic kitchen inside which atoms of hydrogen are [...]

We continue with the theme of Biblical Creationism this month on the podcast. This episode features another guest, Joel Kautt of Creation Evangelism Tools.

This post will continue with the theme of “Confessional Creationism” that the site has featured this month. If you missed them, a podcast and a post on a Biblical doctrine of creation using the Westminster Confession of Faith were put up earlier this month. The same godly men that produced the Westminster Confession in the [...]
Creation in the Westminster Confession

The Westminster Confession of Faith (WCF) was produced in the 1640s to summarize the teachings of the Bible. While it is held subordinate to the Scriptures, which alone are inspired and infallible, it does give an accurate presentation of Biblical doctrine on numerous topics. The WCF is divided into chapters and then paragraphs. Each paragraph [...]

Our belief about creation is very important. Many of us are familiar with the conflict of Biblical creation with evolution. But what are some of the other important aspects about our doctrine of Creation? Why is it important to have a Biblical belief about creation and reject evolutionary philosophy? In this episode, Pastor Len Hendrix [...]
Dinosaurs and Creationism

Dinosaurs roamed the earth just a few thousand years ago. Of all the claims made by Bible-believing creationists that are discounted by those holding opposing views, this one may be the most ridiculed. Evolutionary thought has many contentions with this claim. I cannot deal with all these contentions in this post. Much more able individuals from [...]

In a previous post, I briefly discussed the very important Christian belief of “self-authentication.” This is simply the belief that the God is true and whatever He says is true. Thus, the Bible is to be believed because it is the Word of God. Many unbelievers have objections to this. In this episode, I discuss [...]

Note: there is also a podcast episode on this subject here. Many unbelievers object to Christian doctrine of “self-authentication,” which is the belief that the Bible is to be believed because it is the Word of God. Two main objections are: That is circular reasoning. Other religions claim the same thing. In this post, I [...]

We turn our attention again to apologetics, specifically what’s known as presuppositional apologetics. We will be looking at the defense of the faith against atheism. Is it reasonable to be an atheist? Can the atheistic worldview account for the facts of the universe? What answer can the Christian faith give to atheism? How do we [...]

Last month we had a series of articles on apologetics entitled, “Why Should Anyone Believe Anything At All?” For July, we will continue with the theme of apologetics and dedicate an episode of the podcast to the subject.
