Iwould venture that if you asked people what is meant by ‘faith’, they would likely say “believing something in spite of the evidence or in the absence of evidence.” However, such has not historically been the view of faith. Faith has traditionally been understood as trusting a reliable source. For example, while it is possible […]

Is God in time? This is a popular question. Does it matter? What does it mean for God to be in time or not? In this article I will argue that the answer to this question is terribly important in maintaining a biblical and orthodox view of God. In order to answer this question we

It was 2004 and I was about to graduate from Lee University with a degree in history. I had just gotten married. While I planned on being a history professor I wanted to make sure we had money. So I thought, “What can I do with a history degree other than teach?” I found out that law

Isat down with some Jehovah’s Witnesses who were visiting with me. The elder who was leading our study stated that Jesus never claimed to be God. Jehovah’s Witnesses argue that Jesus is a created being. Liberal “Christians” argue that Jesus never claimed to be God. Many other groups say the same. If such is the

“There are some Jehovah’s Witnesses in the neighborhood if you want to talk them” my wife said. I was excited.

If you are a Christian and not Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox, then you are indebted to Martin Luther. On October 31, 1517, Luther (a

When I read Richard Carrier’s response  to my interactions with Michael Shermer in Skeptic magazine, I could not believe how badly he misunderstood me and misrepresented me (seemingly on purpose at times).  In February of 2019 I debated Michael Shermer on the issue of God’s existence and the problem of evil. One of my points was that the question of God’s

In 2004 I began to pursue an MA in Christian Apologetics at Southern Evangelical Seminary. I didn’t really know much about the topic, I just really wanted to know how to defend the Christian faith and have a better justification for my own beliefs. I realized that Christians and non-Christians had debates about the veracity of

I first heard about Dr. Norman L. Geisler when I was in high school. I bought his When Skeptics Ask. I glossed over it but thought it was beyond me. During my senior year of college, my wife and I decided to move back to my native Charlotte after graduation and study apologetics under Dr. Geisler at Southern
