  • 20 Arguments against the existence of God

  • Is "A Manual for Creating Atheists" Actually Brainwashing You?

    26/03/2019 Duration: 53min

    The book "A Manual for Creating Atheists" has sparked an entire movement of atheists with a special set of tools which are supposed to help people restore their "sense of wonder". But I'm wondering if this continual misrepresentation of facts and reason is actually brainwashing the very people it purports to help. If you are into "Street Epistemology" then I hope you will watch and consider the following. I've spent many hours interacting with people who use some form of Street Epistemology (Pine Creek, Paulogia, etc.) and I have some things I'd like to share about it. Here's the link for the live stream on Capturing Christianity (Jon, Cam and I talk about our series on 20 arguments against God). https://youtu.be/5HNj7C1mRA4 My video on how faith is not belief without evidence https://youtu.be/SIJORjiOWeI My special guests, in the order they appeared Tim Barnett https://www.youtube.com/user/clearthinking4Christ Jon McCray https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1okSIA8UEY8OqvtjGHFvzA Cameron Bertuzzi https://www

  • Philemon Explained

    24/03/2019 Duration: 58min

    The 1 chapter book of Philemon is about a runaway slave (Onesimus) being sent back to his master by the suggestion of Paul the Apostle. While some would want to mine this little book for attacks on the Christian worldview it's actually very profound in what it teaches us about Christian brotherhood and loving others not by compulsion but from the inside out. This study will also get into how Paul's appeals on the behalf of Onesimus are much like Jesus' appeals on our behalf to love and forgive one another. May you be reminded of our calling in the letter to Philemon.

  • Here's What Paul Knew About Jesus

    19/03/2019 Duration: 55min

    What Paul the Apostle knew about Jesus is important if for no other reason than the dismantle poor arguments against the resurrection of Christ. This is a systematic look at what historical details Paul had about Jesus so that we can rule out the idea that Paul didn't know of a historical Jesus or that Paul was merely making things up as he went along.

  • Answering Questions From Live Chat Today on Theology, Apologetics and the Christian Life

    12/03/2019 Duration: 01h08min

    Question Time Stamps for Quick Reference: 1. 2:16 If Jesus is not the Father, why did He say He was in John 14: 9? 2. 7:06 Does God, at times, want a believer to be wealthy, pursue wealth, have a big house, or buy an expensive car? Would you trust someone whose prophecy is weighted toward wealth and success? 3. 11:40 There’s a video going around by Creation Liberty Evangelism, that the word ‘repent’ (metanoia) means “godly grief and sorrow”. Is there any merit to this teaching? 4. 16:55 Do you have any study tips for someone starting to dig deeper into the Bible? (Note taking tips, how to determine whether a source is credible, questions to ask while studying…etc.) 5. 20:38 Matthew 27 mentions saints being raised from the dead. No one else mentions this, even in the other gospels. Why? 6. 25:05 What were your thoughts on the debate you moderated between Hovind and Garte? 7. 27:12 Do you believe that those who teach false doctrines (for ex., that homosexual relations are o.k.) are in a sense rejecting the true

  • A Bunch Of Reasons The Empty Tomb Is Historical

    26/02/2019 Duration: 01h14min

    There are several reasons to believe that the empty tomb accounts in the Bible are historically true, even if you aren't a Christian. And if they are historically true, then perhaps you should become a Christian. In this video I will outline several specific lines of argument that build a cumulative case for the historicity of the empty tomb and support the resurrection of Christ. Join for the live stream (after this live stream) where me, Whaddo You Meme??, and Capturing Christianity reveal our 20 video secret project! https://youtu.be/0i19-5T9mfg After years of doing this online ministry I am now seeking to make it my full time job.

  • The Gospels Are History Not Myth

    19/02/2019 Duration: 01h23min

    Sometimes complicated issues can be made very simple. Here are some good reasons to think the Gospels are the preserved testimony of eye-witnesses from the 1st century. We will talk about the early second century writings of Papias, the introduction to the gospel of Luke, the riddle of names in the gospels and the issue of genre. All these elements are like arrows pointing to one big fact; the gospels contain the record of eye-witness testimony and attempts to treat them as though they are a hodgepodge of rumor which are far removed from the original sources simply fail.

  • Why Every Pro-Choice Argument Fails

    22/01/2019 Duration: 54min

    When it comes to the topic of abortion there is usually a lot more heat than light. This video is meant to be an analysis of abortion for the sake of clarity. The central question of "what is this thing that we are aborting?" Once this is answered, the issue of abortion becomes crystal clear. The answer to this ONE question is also the answer to every pro-choice argument. It's simple. When we realize the nature of the thing being aborted we see that every pro-choice argument fails and this is why they work so hard avoiding the issue of what an abortion kills. Links you may like.

  • Please Stop Saying Faith Is Belief Without Evidence

    15/01/2019 Duration: 01h34s

    I am very happy to report that the Christian definition of faith is NOT belief without evidence! I'll establish this by looking at specific passages of scripture which refute this definition. The problem is that by saying "faith is belief without evidence" we are no longer talking about the way we hold to a belief. We are saying something about the evidence for the Christian faith. Specifically we are saying there is no evidence. I have a problem with this... and so should you. This ministry exists to help people see the truth of Christianity and to think more deeply and biblically about it. Link to the video "Tough Bible Questions Atheists Ask Answered by Christian Mike Winger" https://youtu.be/omv0RwFlY8A Link to Amy Hall's article on Hebrews 11 and how it doesn't mean "faith is belief without evidence" https://www.str.org/blog/hebrews-doesnt-say-what-atheists-think-it-says-about-faith#.XD5s9VxKhhE
