There is a letter that has been making the rounds on the internet for well over a decade, dubbed the “Dr. Laura Letter.” A reader of this site recently asked my thoughts on the letter. From what I can gather, a person by the name of Dr. Laura Schlesinger made some comments condemning homosexuality several years ago via […]
Christian apologetics is the defense of the faith. It can include things such as answering philosphical questions about God, defending scriptures, and much more. As Christians, we should always be equipped and ready to offer an explanation or defense of our faith. This section will help offer some articles that answer some of the tough questions about Christianity.
Bill Nye Lost Creation Debate | Ken Ham Wins Creation Debate
I’ve got a lot of posts I need to catch up on, but I can’t resist writing one about the recent debate that took place between Ken Ham (great creationist and defender of the gospel), and Bill Nye (the TV “scientist” and evolution proselytizer). I watched the debate in its entirety, and it is beyond […]
Why Are Christians So Judgmental and Hateful Sometimes? Why Hate?
One of the common criticisms about Christianity is that people often feel as if Christians “hate” people, and are very judgmental. In this article, I will attempt to explain why Christians give off this vibe, and are sometimes mislabeled as “hateful or judgmental.” I will also explain why sometimes we do make judgments. But here’s an […]
Why Are There So Many Christian Denominations?
There is a great joke I once heard that I would like to share with everyone, which pokes fun at the attitude of many Christians today: “I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said ‘Stop! Don’t do […]
Was Jesus Nailed to Cross By Wrists or Hands?
Some people debate the actual method Jesus was crucified. Some suggest Jesus was nailed to the cross by his hands. Others are skeptical and suggest instead He was probably nailed to the cross by His wrists. This article will discuss both of these methods, and provide a possible solution/explanation. Was Jesus Nailed to the Cross by His […]
How Does God Resurrect Our Dead Bodies?
The Bible presents the resurrection not as a story or parable, but as a real event which will soon take place at some point in the future. The Bible depicts this occurring in stages, such as the Rapture (for the saved when Christ returns), and another resurrection for the wicked. But the resurrection itself is very […]
God of the Gaps Explained-A Christian Perspective
The phrase God of the gaps refers to a view of God as existing in the “gaps,” or aspects of reality that are currently unexplained by scientific knowledge. The basic idea (according to skeptics) is that God really doesn’t exist at all. God, in fact, was an idea that was created by mankind to fill […]
What Is God’s Real Name? Jehovah? Yahweh? Allah?
What is God’s name? Does God have a name, and if so, should we call Him by His name? What is the name of the true God? To answer this very simple yet great question, let us first start at the most basics and then move forward to the more complex. For the very basic part […]
The God of The Old Testament is a Bloodthristy Killer…Or Is He?
One of the truly foolish arguments atheists sometimes use is the argument that “The God of the Bible (especially the Old Testament) is a murderous lunatic, not worthy of my worship, and a very evil God.” They base this logic on the fact that in various points in the Old Testament, God exercised judgment on mankind and […]
Do Good People Go to Hell? What About Bad “Chrisitans?”
Do Good people go to hell? Would a bad Christian go to heaven? What about Gandhi, is he in hell? Or what about Hitler, did he go to heaven? The Bible plainly teaches that no one is good: As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: Romans 3:10 The question of whether […]
Should We Be Good To Be Closer to God, or To Avoid Hell?
Did Jesus Preach About Goodness, While the Rest of the Bible Preaches Hell Punishment? Should Christians only be good to avoid hell? Sometimes people try to suggest that in the Old Testament God is mean and punishes people and in the New Testament it is different, and Jesus is all about forgiving and goodness. This is not […]
Why Won’t God Give Mankind Proof of His Existence?
Why won’t God simply give mankind proof of His existence? Why not just show us that He exists, and remove the element of faith? After all, wouldn’t everyone believe in God if He just showed Himself? Why let people go to hell if they could be saved merely be showing Himself to be real? That’s […]
Are There Any Famous Scientists, Philosophers, or Celebrities that Believe in God?
Are there any famous scientists, philosophers, celebrities, or business people who believe in God or actually follow religion seriously? Or are all Christians just un-educated hillbillies? Are theists ignorant? Do intelligent people believe in God? This is a great question because many people have the misconception that “intelligent” people actually believe that God is imaginary, […]
Is Abortion Okay for Rape, Incest, or Mother Risk of Death?
Abortion is a very hotly debated topic today. So many people seem to be divided on abortion, and even those who may be against abortion may support certain cases of abortion. Should a Christian support abortion in the case of rape, incest, or risk of death to the mother? Is this type of abortion a […]
What is a Human Soul, Where is it Located, What Does it Do?
What is a soul anyway? Do we really have souls? Why? There are lots of great questions that can be asked about the nature of the human soul. The soul is an interesting subject, and the eternal nature of our souls is equally as fascinating. While the Bible does not go into details about the […]
Did Jesus Ever Get Sick? Did He Use the Bathroom?
People often have so many questions about Jesus. After all, he is a very interesting individual, and perhaps one of the most interesting individuals in the history of the world. There is no doubt that if I could jump in a time machine and go back to any date, it would probably be at the […]
What Is the Difference Between Humans and Animals?
Humans have long been the rulers of all creation. We are above all other animals on this Earth. We completely and totally rule over all creatures. Even though we may share some characteristics, and even some anatomical similarities, humans and animals are vastly different. Differences Between Humans (homosapiens) and Animals (Beasts) There are several things that […]
Can You Prove the Flying Spaghetti Monster Doesn’t Exist?
There is an old saying that you can’t prove a negative. This simply means you can never fully prove that something doesn’t exist. IN other words, you can’t possibly know everywhere or every thing at one time. So you can never say, “Prove a unicorn doesn’t exist,” because you can never prove a negative. Atheists […]
What Was Jesus DNA Like? How Was He Born? Mary’s Egg?
One interesting question about Jesus is his genetic makeup. What did Jesus’ DNA look like? The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus was born of a virgin mother (Mary). She did not have sexual relations with anyone previously. This means that Jesus did not have any DNA from a human male. Of course, the Bible does […]
Will We Be Sad if Loved Ones or Family Members Aren’t in Heaven?
Will we be sad if relatives are not in heaven? What about spouses, friends, and others? Heaven is described as being such a wonderful place. There is no more crying, no more sin, no more hurt. We live in the presence of Christ for all of eternity! We never again are hungry (for we are […]
