Metaphysics is the philosophical branch that deals with the question of reality. Simply, what is real? Theists believe in “Immaterialism” or “Idealism” which is defined by reality consisting of both the material world (i.e., the physical world of the five senses), and immaterial world which we would call “Spiritual.” Christians and Theists hold this as […]

Suffering As A Living Parable Theodicy is the defense of God against the Problem of Evil or Suffering. This is, in my studied opinion, the only argument against God and his goodness, power, or even existence. Contrasting that one argument against faith, is that there are many arguments in favor God’s existence. Alex O’Connor, who […]

This is about you, if you are an unbeliever, or those you know. Unwittingly, you admit to Jesus’s resurrection. 1. Not counting the name of Jesus, can you name one other person crucified in […]

When talking with atheists, I like to tell them to put Jesus on trial. How do we do this? Practical: Examine Jesus’s Teachings: 1. What do you think of Jesus’s teachings? 2.

Star Trek is one of my favorite science fiction franchises. Despite my fandom, it displays an illogical reality, to reference Spock. That false reality is that life is so common that it can be found everywhere by humans who “boldly go where no man has gone before”. Shifting universes from fiction to fact, atheists […]

There are two kinds of atheists: 1) Those who believe there is nothing but matter and therefore no free will; 2) Those who believe there is free will.

When deciding to believe, how are we convicted? By biblical definition, to believe means “to be persuaded”. By what are we persuaded?
