God of the Gaps
You’ve probably heard the term “God of the Gaps” before. If not, another phrase used for this concept is the “argument from ignorance.” This is basically an anti-theist argument which tries to make theists look like wishful thinkers.
Straw Men
There are so many interesting (and often humorous) ways non-believers attack Christianity. From moral arguments against Christianity (yeah, right!) to the Problem of Evil to the so-called Euthyphro Dilemma and so on.
The Problem of Naturalism
Lately, I’ve thought a bit about the idea of what is known as “naturalism.” There have been a lot of different thoughts about why this philosophy does not have the explanatory scope or power necessary to explain much of the universe. However, I’ve been thinking about a different aspect of naturalism lately. Mostly, I’ve been thinking about how closed-minded and limited this worldview is.
Wearing the Bulls-Eye
One thing that one commonly hears about Christianity is that once a person accepts Christ, they begin to experience a lot more trouble. You might think that I’m going to go into people’s impression that accepting Christ meant that life would be easy, but that’s not where I’m going with this.
“Middle” Knowledge
This week, I thought I’d try getting into some things that are not very well-known. Namely, the concept of “middle” knowledge. You’re probably wondering what the heck that is and it’s my purpose here to do my best to explain the concept.
Pseudo Science
I am always fascinated at how spirited discussions can get when people try to discuss science and theology at the same time. Mainly, the way this happens is that one person is talking about science and the other is talking about theology. When this happens, it’s quite difficult to come to a conclusion together, never mind how frustrating it can be.
Church vs. Christianity – Part IV
For the past few weeks, we’ve been looking at a passage of scripture from John 4. The story is about Jesus’ interaction with the Samaritan woman at the well. Today, I’d like to continue with that story and take a look at what happened after the woman left Jesus and the disciples and went back to her town.
Church vs. Christianity – Part III
Well, we’ve looked at Jesus’ initial interaction with the Samaritan woman at the well and gone over some of the things I noticed that seemed to stand out about this meeting. Now, we’re moving on to the next phase of this event.
Church vs. Christianity – Part II
Last week, I started discussing some of the issues of the Church with respect to how they approach and/or address sin. This is not all Christians in all situations, but it is prevalent enough that it creates a perception of the Church as a whole. It is connected to the whole idea of Christianity and drives people away from Christ.
Church vs. Christianity
It is no secret that throughout history, terrible human tragedies can be traced back to the Church. Specifically the Christian Church. Notice I’m using the capital ‘C’ for Church. This is to indicate the idea that it is the body of Christ followers and not a specific denomination that I’m referring to.
