Suffering As A Living Parable Theodicy is the defense of God against the Problem of Evil or Suffering. This is, in my studied opinion, the only argument against God and his goodness, power, or even existence. Contrasting that one argument against faith, is that there are many arguments in favor God’s existence. Alex O’Connor, who […]

An Atheist’s Creedal Formulation Because atheism demands only a material reality, an appropriate creedal formulation for atheists according to Steve Kumar, is: There is no God There is no objective Truth There is no ground for Reason There are no absolute Morals There is no ultimate Value There is no ultimate Meaning There is no […]

What If Atheists Are Right About the Beginning of the Universe? As to the beginning of our universe, I am aware of at least two atheistic positions. This becomes for atheists an either-or proposition: 1. Either you believe that matter came from non-matter – that is something came from nothing. 2. Or, that matter has […]

Every Worldview strives to answer three questions: 1. What is the nature of reality (Metaphysics). 2. How ought we to behave (Ethics). 3. How do we know (Epistemology). Jesus is our Worldview! 1.

Here’s the conundrum. Atheistic Naturalists freely admit […]

The Devil defeats God. God succumbs to Satan. Both of those absurdities are true if one doctrine is true. In many places, this one doctrine is taught to be false, and in many ways. One such place is the end of a parable where the application is given, meaning the application is not parabolic, but […]

What makes the fulfilled Messianic prophecies greater than even the power seen in creation? What makes God able to promise a Messiah to save us? In studying Messianic prophecies, it is essential to understand the qualities of God that permit such divine intervention into human affairs.

One reason Biblical research is needed, and scholars and historians are important, is to fill in the blanks. Not blanks of truth, but blanks caused by our being removed 2000 years another culture. Just as 2 millennium ago the common title Super Bowl might mean a big or important round dish; today we need these […]

I find this quote both instructive and foreboding. Instructive in that allowing the possibility that we are wrong, allowing ourselves to see contradictions is the first step in seeing truth. This requires honesty. Foreboding in that human intelligence and wisdom can only progress so far. This requires humility. Whitehead is the father of “Process Theology” […]
