Our Personal God

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Hello.  Welcome back.  Long story short: Aaron and I have been busy this summer.  We’ve also encountered some issues regarding the role of apologetics in Christianity which have put our operations on hold.  While we’re still figuring things out, we will be turning our attention more to doctrinal discussion than defending the faith.
As some of [...]

Since When Can Science Do That?

Friday, April 11th, 2008

“The world around you is full of amazing things. . . . These things, or others . . . may lead you to ask a question. A question is the beginning of science. Science is the knowledge obtained by observing the natural world in order to discover facts and to formulate laws and principles that [...]

Deductive Inerrancy

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

I saved this post for part two because I wanted to show in part one that the doctrine of inerrancy is a worthwhile consideration because Scripture itself claims to be inerrant.  That is, Biblical inerrancy is not a doctrine of man, but of verbum Dei.  So from the previous post, we saw that Scripture claims to [...]

Verbum Dei or Verbum Homo?

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

This will be part one of a three part series concerning the inspiration and veracity of the Bible.
There is a fallacy among many Christian thinkers which says that the Bible–the Word of God–cannot be infallible or inerrant.  They do not disagree with the idea of inspiration, but their concept of inspiration does not preclude (indeed, [...]

Regeneration Precedes Faith

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

The basis of this post is a discussion I recently had at a message board.  The subject was 2 Peter 3:9 and different exegetical looks at it.  The discussion turned to whether Irresistible Grace (a Reformed doctrine) is true or false considering that passage.
A specific part of that discussion was devoted to the relationship between [...]

Paul’s Unkown God

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

I have so many different posts floating around my head, saved on my computer, filling my thoughts every day that I feel somehow mistaken for writing this one now.  But I didn’t want to give the impression that Aaron and I are not constantly considering these issues–all apologetic and theological issues you’ve seen us present or [...]

Spirit and the Unbeliever (Part Two of Previous)

Friday, November 9th, 2007

Picking up where I left off with the previous post, let’s now look at what Dr. Craig has to say about the role of the Holy Spirit with regards to the unbeliever.
But what about the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of an unbeliever?  Since the Holy Spirit does not indwell him, does this mean that [...]

Apologetics and the Spirit’s Assurance

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

I’d like to start off by suggesting that this post may have more relevance to me and Aaron, at least the second half, than to most of you reading it; however, the topic is not exclusive.
I’ve been reading William Lane Craig’s Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth and Apologetics for the last week.  I’m barely into the book so [...]

Knowing Scripture - Excerpt on Apostolic Authority

Monday, October 22nd, 2007

I’ve been reading R.C. Sproul’s book Knowing Scripture for the past few weeks.  I haven’t had a chance to post a new blog lately, and since I found a great excerpt in my reading today, I thought I’d just share that with you all.  This can be found on pages 69-71 in the aforementioned book:
Since [...]

Religious

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

I have to admit I have no idea where this post is going.  At least not here, at the beginning.
So I’m on the baseball team here, at my college.  I’m a freshman, and I’m still learning the ropes.  I have to admit I was surprised, even coming in expecting to see drinking and parties and all that on a [...]
