All in Bible
If they were wrong about the world ending, couldn't they have been wrong about other things as well?
Is our faith based on the Bible, or is it based on the resurrection of Jesus? Should we unhitch Christianity from the Old Testament specifically or the Bible as a whole?
The Gospels talk about Jesus performing miracles, but is there any reason to think that he actually did those things? Wouldn’t it make more sense to say that those were a result of legends that developed over time? What does history say?
If you could only give someone one reason to trust what the Gospels had to say, what would it be?
If you haven't checked it out yet (or didn't know), I started a podcast series explaining where the New Testament comes from. I'm tracing it's origins all the way from a Jewish man speaking in Palestine 2,000 years ago to the book written in your language that you can hold in your hands today.
Certainly, the Bible is promoting a particular religion. How then can we trust what it says? Can it be used in real historical research?
The word “resurrection” was not something invented by Christians. So, what did it mean, and why was it important?
God is often accused of being unmerciful for torturing people for all eternity who really were not bad people; they just didn’t want to be His servants. What’s wrong with that?
Certainly, people cause each other pain, but why is there suffering in the first place? Does God cause it?
If writing was a secondary form of communication, then the question we need to ask is, “Why were the Gospels written down at all?”
Is it a problem that the Gospels were written so late? I argue that we have no reason to expect them to have been written before the mid to late 1st century.
Is there knowledge of God in the world that does not depend on a person hearing the name “Jesus?” The answer to this question basically depends on your view of general revelation.
Christians talk a lot about how Christianity is a religion that is all about love. However, that's not exactly what the NT says.
Christians will often say that they want to hear from God. I want to ask them, “Do you really?”
Theologians in the past have attempted to separate Christianity from Judaism. However, this doesn’t work very well since Christianity is not so much a stand-alone story as it is the climax of the Jewish story.
What is the "Image of God" and how does it affect my daily life?
Why were people when Jesus lived sometimes buried twice, and why is this imagery used in the NT?
What possible reason could Paul have to want to call himself the slave of Christ?
