In today’s culture many believe that morality is subjective, depending on each person, better yet said, morality is relative. We find that this view point is not only illogical but can not be sustained by any human. It is impossible for us as humans to live with out thebelief or assumption that moral standards do exist. For example rape victims, abused children, or any other victims of torture

Genesis 7 talks about how God caused a massive flood that engulfed the whole earth and killed every last man except the eight people that were on the ark. Many non-Christians and some Christians believe that the flood never happened and that the first couple chapters of Genesis are wrong. I would like to respond to the question about the global flood in Genesis 7, which I believe did happen. Now

When Truth Confronts Our Worst Suffering by Gary R. Habermas"How can there be a God when the world is full of pain and suffering?" This question has plagued believers and nonbelievers alike since the beginning of time. There are many different apologetic arguments for this question, and Gary Habermas speaks from his own personal experience. He begins his article by saying that applying good

Many people say that they can’t believe in a God because of the evil in the world. They say that if God is all powerful and could stop the evil, he is responsible for the evil that people experience and that makes him not a merciful or good God which contradicts the Bible. This is simply a case of not looking at the situation in the right perspective. Here is one way to look at it. Consider

In our world today, we hear about crimes being committed in the name of the Christian God. These crimes push people away from potentially learning about Christianity. However, suspicions arise as we look at these situations and the people who committed the crimes. As we examine the people behind these crimes, one may observe that they do not follow the rules and teachings of Christianity.

A skeptic is someone who doubts man's ability to know things. Skepticism can help one become more discerning and less gullible, so it is healthy in small doses. It becomes dangerous when one begins to say that "you can't know anything for sure." This total skepticism is impossible because it rejects the possibility of knowing anything, including knowing that we can't know anything. If we can't

"You Have the Right to Choose Your Own Values" In life everyone is faced with different value systems. Some values contradict, some we can agree on, and others seem to contradict our system of moral beliefs. A Moral relativist believes that all people have and exhibit different moral beliefs and practices. . However, just because we see differences in morality doesn’t

“It doesn’t matter what you believe, just as long as you are sincere.” Many people today believe a person will go to Heaven as long as they are a sincere and good person. Often Christians are questioned on how they can believe that they are the only people who will go to Heaven when people of other religions are just as sincere, and all too often Christians do not have an answer. There are two

The Bible predicts many prophecies that come true. Fulfilled predictions are a type of miracle that can be tested centuries after the event took place. Some ways to help prove the miracles are as follows: You need good evidence 1) that the text clearly envisions the sort of event alleged to be the fulfillment, 2) that the prophecy was made well in advance of the event predicted, 3) that the

Relativism has one central and major flaw. This flaw being that they cannot accuse people of doing something wrong. They cannot say that someone has done something wrong if their basic belief is that morality is based on a persons personal definition. I say that this flaw is central because based off of this you can discount other things. Because of this relativists cannot blame anyone for

One of the arguments against the God of Christianity is this: God created everything; evil is a thing; Therefore, God created evil. The problem with the argument is that, as Augustine realized, evil is not a thing. It’s like dark. Dark is not a thing; it’s the absence of light. In the same way evil is not a thing in and of itself but simply the absence of good. It’s like a hole in the ground. No

If JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY, WHAT ABOUT THOSE WHO NEVER HEAR OF HIM? This is a very hard question and you can take a couple of different directions with it. The first way would be to say that God as he is defined knows all, and therefore has engineered the world in such a way that no one is left without having a chance to accept the good news of Jesus Christ. On the other hand some people refuse to

If we want to be able to share our faith, we need to be able to defend our faith. Even though the Bible does not say anything about apologetics specifically, there are many places where it is talked about. I Peter 3:15 talks about how we must always have an answer for the faith we have. The Bible talks about many topics that are associated with apologetics; persuasion, dialogue, discourse,

One reason many people don’t believe in miracles, is because the teachings of David Hume. He said that only things that concur with the past experiences can be accepted. Thus, ruling out any possibility of the miraculous. The problem with this logic is, it is a circular argument. He is really saying you can not believe in anything unless it corresponds with past experience. We can agree with this

Trusting in a document which started over two millennia ago can be a very difficult thing to do. To trust in something we must look at the evidence for and against it, evaluate such evidence, and draw a conclusion from our evaluations. The Christian Bible is one of these documents we must follow this process for. The Bible is broken into two sections; an Old Testament, containing thirty-nine

How should you go about talking to someone who believes in God and has morals, but doesn't believe in Jesus Christ? There are different ways to go about this. A gentle route and a not-so-gentle and blunt route. The gentler route is probably the best one to take when communicating with people!It might be easy to say to this particular person- no Jesus=Hell and Jesus=Heaven. But they need to

We need to realize that we can know things before we are 100% certain of those things. I’ve never been to London, England so I’m not 100% certain it exists, yet I still know it exists, from others accounts of visits. I have also had many experiences where I know something without knowing why. In these cases I just know the fact is true; I’m fully confident of its validity, but I can’t prove it.

The New Testament of the Bible has over 24,000 manuscripts supporting its validity, but what evidence do we have to bolster the truth of the Old Testament. Aside from the evidence given by The Dead Sea scrolls, we have little bibliographical evidence to support the Old Testament. However, if we look at the external evidences, we will find a superfluous supply of supporting archaeological finds

Christians believe that Jesus Christ was fully God and fully man. Three main conceptual problems challenge the logical possibility that Jesus is God incarnate (God and man): 1...Jesus could not be created (human) and, at the same time, NOT created (God). 2...He could not be omnicsient (God) yet have limited knowledge (human). 3...Even if it is possible that Jesus is omniscient, Jesus does not

Many skeptics will claim that the records of Jesus' life found in the Bible are mistaken or falsified. They say that early Christians made up many of the facts of Christ's life and ministry, and that the entirety of the gospels is unreliable. But there is no proof that Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are doctored in any way.To display the Gospels' validity, it must first be assumed that they aren't

Religious Pluralism, in various forms, has been present for centuries and even millennia. However, it has been propagated, as of late, by Professor John Hick. He has refined and forged Religious Pluralism into what it has become today. It is now widely accepted and has become a formidable opponent of Christianity. Pluralism is often referred to by many as Religious relativism. Although complex

Religious pluralism is loosely defined as peaceful relations among different religions. Most Christians would eagerly concur with this concept. However, this "concept" is becoming a religion in its own right. It is being taken to heightened levels of classification. Not only now do religious pluralists believe in peaceful relations, but they also consider all religions to be equal along

Many People are quick to accuse another person of being judgemental when they are challenged on their beliefs, worldviews, or even simple matters. This is a popular response of many people to Christians or to anybody when they feel they are being "lectured" or told what to do, and how to think.When accused of being judgemental, Christians should first ask the accuser of what he means by being "

Most people say Christians are intolerant of other viewpoints. Some argue that the Crusades and the Inquisition are prime examples of "Christian intolerance". One must realize that these events were the makings of a small sect of over zealous Christians not the whole community of believers. Also one must define their terms. For instance relativist define tolerance as " the equality of all

If someone were to tell me "that's true for you, but not for me," I would respond by saying that their statement is contradictory. When someone makes this statement they are recognizing that the statement should be true for everyone and therefore contradicts the statment said.

What, exactly, is a miracle? How can it be defined? How can it be identified? To agree upon the existence and activity of miracles, we must first have agreed-upon terminology. Only then can miracles be argued for or argued against. Different people from different views, different places, and different eras have different definitions for the word “"miracle.”" A rudimentary example is that a

This statement in itself is contradictory. Suppose one person says that murder is a crime that should be judged harshly, but you say that it is a natural act that can't be prevented.

When trying to prove the existence of miracles, one must first determine the worldview of your philosophical opponent. By determining one's opponent's worldview, the fundamental structure of beliefs of a person, one is then able to produce a viable plan of attack against one's opponent. In the matter of miracles, most worldviews agree that miracles do indeed exist, thus do not need convincing on
