Recently I watched a series of videos by Pastor Mike Winger on Biblical contradictions. In one of the videos he addresses Bart Ehrman and unfortunately makes some spurious claims. The one I will correct here is as follows. Pastor Winger claims that Bart Ehrman says that any attempt to harmonize the gospel accounts amounts to…
Suppose you were to be introduced to a good Christian man. A person you could really look up to. Perhaps you might ask to hear his testimony. Surely he was raised by good parents and committed to the faith at an early age. But what if you were wrong? If his story is more complex,…
Last week Alisa Childers posted a video about 5 alternative facts from the Christmas story that she believes that people get wrong. For the most part, her information was accurate. I didn’t have any major beefs with what she said. However, I felt that she left out many important details. Hence, I made the video…
I found this video to be extraordinarily interesting for several reasons. First, it’s interesting to see James White gushing over Rabbi Singer’s embrace of Tanakh and his anguish over Christians who don’t embrace the Bible as firmly. However, his complete misunderstanding of Rabbi Singer’s joke about Mormons caused me to wonder if he fully understands…
I bumped into this title on Audible and I was fascinated. Ray Comfort is a Christian minister. Moreover, his mother was Jewish. Therefore, this had to be an incredibly uncomfortable undertaking for him. I applaud him for having the guts to take it on, and I was genuinely interested in his take on Hitler, God,…
There are several problems with the genealogies listed for Jesus in the books of Matthew and Mark. This really isn’t a big deal, unless you consider these books to be “breathed out” by God. It becomes problematic then because you can’t have any errors. Hence, those who subscribe to this view try to explain away…
Reverend Aaron White is one of my favorite preachers in the world. If you’re not a Unitarian Universalist (and you’re probably not) his sermons will be unusual to you. So as a heads up, UU churches aren’t organized around doctrine. Rather, it’s a covenant between members. Hence, you won’t hear typical dogma that you might…
This is going to sound funny coming from a Noahide, but follow me here. It really doesn’t matter who you are. Your religious beliefs aren’t important. You can even be an atheist, and I’ve got you covered here. There’s a Jesus for everyone in the Gospels. You just have to be willing to look for…
This is one of those odd questions that you’re going to encounter on your spiritual journey. In the New Testament, everything changes suddenly. Peter is sleeping on a roof and has a vision of unclean animals being lowered for him to eat. In Acts 15 there’s a Jerusalem council to discuss what gentile converts need…
Alisa Childers is a Christian who found herself attending a progressive Christian church. This caused her to enter a period of “deconstruction” of her faith. She began to question everything. Eventually, she discovered Christian Apologetics and built her faith back up to what she believes is a correct view. I applaud her for that. However,…
