Question Time - A pointless statement from Jesus in Matthews Gospel?
Published on 2011-12-16 09:53:00
This weeks question comes from Ogunitracy who asked the following question - Jesus said "Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God"I think I follow the logic. God is pure, so to see Him, you should be pure. Only problem is, no one is pure, remember? We're all sinners according to Romans 3. So, wasn't Jesus' statement kind of a waste of time? What pure in heart? Beatitudes and MemoryThe scripture in question is found in Matthew 5:8 in what is known as the 'Beatitudes' which are sayi

The Best Critique of the 'Word of Faith' Movement on the Internet
Published on 2011-11-14 13:24:00
This is part 1 of 4 short videos called "A Call for Discernment" A Biblical Critique of the Word of Faith Movement by Justin Peters. Its presentation that he gives to churches all over the US.I've not found a better critique of the Word of Faith movement anywhere else, some people might not like him because he names people, but if your not persuaded by the examples Justin gives then I don't really know what else can be said. I could write a whole list of problems and make a list of all the reaso
A short Critique of The God Delusion - Christianity and the Sanctity of Human Life parts 1 - 4
Published on 2011-11-14 05:45:00
I will be doing a few posts to basically discuss and critique our favourite household atheist Richard Dawkins' section about Christianity, abortion and sanctity of life issues in his best selling book The God Delusion. Now I'm aware that he does attack some other belief systems in this small section but I will however only address his arguments put forth against a biblical Christian viewpoint of these issues. I would ask that if you have a copy to read the pages noted in the title and maybe post
Jesus the Atheist
Published on 2011-11-08 05:21:00
I came across a recent video containing more rigorously tested scientific conclusions by my old friend Richard Dawkins who makes a couple of interesting claims, in a recent interview by John Harris over at the Guardian in his National Conversations series. One of my favourite claims from Oxfords finest was that if Jesus knew what we all knew today he to would have been an Atheist just like Dawkins.You can listen to a short clip of that particular highlight below:Jesus and the intelligent A
Apologetics: Dealing with the Problem of Suffering?
Published on 2011-11-05 06:38:00
Recently Andrew Wilson, an author, theologian and apologist here in the UK, spoke in a Camberley church about 7 do's and don'ts With Apologetics. One of the 7 points was to make sure that you know the background of the question being asked, don't just jump into answering a question when you haven't got all of the facts.An example of this was dealing with the problem of suffering. Often times Christians, and I've done this as well, will answer the problem of suffering question by going straight t

Whats your worldview?
Published on 2011-10-30 03:42:00
What we believe or assume about the world affects how we live in it, what we do, what we don't do and ultimately grounds all the big decisions we make in it. James Sire describes a worldview as: "A worldview is a set of presuppositions (or assumptions) which we hold (consciously or subconsciously) about the basic make-up of our world." Our worldview is one of the most important things to test, since if our worldview doesn't stand up to scrutiny then surely we have a responsibility to
