    People: the Cause of Cyclical Poverty or the Source of Prosperity?

    Dave Keehn — 

    A brief look back over the history over the world or turning on the nightly news will reveal the pain of people caused by the actions of others. It can be simply stated: People have caused the impoverished lifestyle experienced by so many in the world through harmful acts. Some cyclical poverty is the result of well-meaning assistance that has perpetuated dependency, unintentionally making things worse. Other people are trapped in communities of poverty through corrupt policies and a lack of rule of law. Worse, history is full of the evil of some to oppress, steal from and enslave people resulting in deadly poverty ...

    5 Earth-Shattering Events Linked to the Bible

    Sean McDowell — 

    In the recent update to my father鈥檚 classic book Evidence that Demands a Verdict, we begin with a chapter on the uniqueness of the Bible. Unquestionably, in comparison to every book ever written, the Bible stands out as unique in a number of areas including authorship, literary genres, translation, geographical production, circulation, survival, and impact. The Bible truly stands in a category of its own ...

    Jesus鈥 God

    Weekly Q & A with Dr. William Lane Craig

    William Lane Craig — 

    ... A former Muslim (now Christian) friend once remarked to me, 鈥淢uslim evangelism is a crash course in Christian doctrine.鈥 Your question, Abdullah, so well illustrates that remark. You have opened the door to discussion of some very profound doctrines about God and Christ. To begin with, you are quite right in inferring that if any human being regards someone as God, he must also regard that person as his Creator, since God is the Creator of all that exists apart from Himself. Since Christians regard Jesus as God, they also explicitly acknowledge him as the Creator (see Gospel of John 1.1-3; Colossians 1.15-17; Hebrews 1.1-3) ...

    Post-Postmodernism: Engaging the New Spirit of the Age with Clarity, Conviction, and Compassion

    Thaddeus Williams — 

    Fifteen years ago in Paris, I had a conversation with a young existentialist who said something as unflattering as it was memorable: 鈥淲hatever the world does the church does ten years later and worse.鈥 My new friend was talking about Christian music, describing a decade lag factor, a slowness to recognize and adapt to cultural changes that, in his estimation, rendered the church musically irrelevant ...

    Brute Facts and the Argument from Contingent Beings

    Weekly Q & A with Dr. William Lane Craig

    William Lane Craig — 

    ... Your question, Austin, is about (1), which I call 鈥渁 modest version of the Principle of Sufficient Reason鈥 which 鈥渃ircumvents the typical objections to strong versions of that principle.鈥 Leibniz鈥檚 own formulation of the Principle of Sufficient Reason in his treatise The Monadology was very strong: "no fact can be real or existent, no statement true, unless there be a sufficient reason why it is so and not otherwise." Notice that for Leibniz every fact, every true statement, must have an explanation. That entails that there are no brute facts, that is, facts without explanation. By contrast, as I explain in Reasonable Faith, my more modest formulation of the Principle 鈥渕erely requires any existing thing to have an explanation of its existence. This premiss is compatible with there being brute facts about the world鈥 (p. 107). My version of the Principle denies that there are beings which exist without any explanation. That鈥檚 all I need for the argument to go through ...

    Apologetics Is Not Saying You鈥檙e Sorry

    Sean McDowell — 

    As a professor of Christian Apologetics at 911爆料网 University, I (Sean) help prepare students to answer tough questions raised against the Christian faith. One day someone from outside the 911爆料网 academic community called our university to ask why we offer classes on apologizing for the faith. She thought apologetics meant teaching students to say they were sorry for their beliefs! While her question was well intentioned, she didn鈥檛 grasp the nature of apologetics and its role in the Christian life. Christians certainly should apologize for their faith, but not in the way she had in mind ...

    Is Biblical Teaching on Sex Hateful and Repressive?

    Sean McDowell — 

    Let鈥檚 face it; we live in a world saturated with sex. Our movies, music, novels, politics, and even advertisements are dominated by sex. Essentially, the celebrated view of sex in our culture is: if it feels good, do it. According to the ideas propagated by the late Hugh Hefner, and others in the sexual revolution, anything that prevents someone from experiencing consensual sex in whatever fashion he or she desires is viewed as harmful and repressive ...

    How Can Christ鈥檚 Death Satisfy Divine Justice?

    Weekly Q & A with Dr. William Lane Craig

    William Lane Craig — 

    ... For those who don鈥檛 remember, Lance Ito was the judge in the infamous O.J. Simpson murder trial. Simpson was actually acquitted, but you鈥檙e asking why, had he been found guilty, some other person might not have borne his sentence for him, given that Christ bore our sentence of death for us. I want to be very precise about your question, Tomislav. Your question is not about the morality of penal substitution. Rather your question is about the satisfaction of justice. How can the demands of retributive justice be met by punishing a substitute in one case but not the other? ...
