The Beginning of Knowledge – Christ as Truth in Apologetics

Here in the happy, wild and wacky world of trying-to-get-things done known as “Scott and Holly’s life”, we are pleased and thankful to report that we are by the grace of God actually getting a lot of things done lately, including some things that’d been waiting on back burners for quite a while now. Sometimes I […]

Daddy (Isn’t There) Issues: The Myth of Autonomy

  And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind… ~ Romans 1:28  . “The options are God and absurdity. People choose absurdity because they love their sin.” ~ Sye TenBruggencate  . There he hung, dangling on the edge of the seemingly bottomless pit that had just […]

Swiss Cheesiness: The Myth of Neutrality

For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made.

The Alpha of Apologetics…and Everything Else

The (not so) Great I (probably) Am: The Man-Centered Myth of the “Probably God”

The Man-Centered Myth of the “Probably God” . “By appealing to probability, apologists saw Christianity relegated to the museum of mere religious hypotheses (i.e., “possibilities”) rather than embraced as the actual truth of God.” ~ Greg L. Bahnsen .  Remember that ridiculously annoying little kid who just wouldn’t stop asking why? How every answer you […]

Meology vs. Theology: Putting God on Trial and Man on the Throne

Putting God on Trial and Man on the Throne . “The ancient man approached God (or even the gods) as the accused person approaches his judge. For the modern man the roles are reversed. He is the judge: God is in the dock. . . The trial may even end in God’s acquittal. But the […]

Comrade Oxymoron and His Deconstruction of Christianity

Did you know that “Christian worldview” is an oxymoron?

Me neither.

And don’t worry; it isn’t.

Yet just this weekend I spoke with a professing Christian who actually believes that “Christian worldview” is indeed oxymoronic. He said so. Out loud. He wrote about it, too.
