why can we trust the Bible
But this gospel (historical, falsifiable, and highly witnessed) is what defines Christians and Christianity. Christianity is unique in this respect, it is a historical religion centered on the truth of a historical event. It is not about people’s actions, their feelings, going to church, or any other criteria. It is based on the historical life, death, and resurrection of Christ. Continue reading

Answering a few Atheist questions
Recently I came across a challenge put forward by an atheist blog for Christians to answer atheist questions. I wrote up a series of answers, with no expectation it would ever be published by this site. Political correctness will never … Continue reading

quotes on education
Teenagers treating other teenagers cruelly is part of growing up when compulsory schooling is part of growing up. –David Henderson Nothing provokes more angry letters from schoolteachers than saying that most college students who go into teaching are from the … Continue reading

Jesus on contract law, minimum wage, and discrimination
A good Christian can apply these concepts to a whole host of evil government laws: minimum wage laws, affirmative action laws, equal pay acts, government enforced CEO pay caps, and anything else involving other parties telling a second party what prices are “fair” and “right” to pay certain people. Continue reading

was Jesus sent to the Jews only
The Bible, despite inferences in Luke 4, seems to be of an unanimous position that Jesus was sent only to the Jews. Even the one person who has the most stake in the Gospel to the Gentiles, Paul, claims that Jesus was sent to the Jews. Jesus was sent to the Jews alone. Continue reading

Bart Ehrman: Chronology Fallacy
This might be a problem if the authors of the four gospels ever claimed to be writing a chronological history. Again, modern standards are being inconsistently and retroactively applied to the authors of the gospels. Continue reading

Bart Ehrman: Categorical Storytelling Error
In order to show a real contradiction in the history of the gospels, the alleged statements must contradict in concept. Many, but not all, of Ehrman’s alleged contradictions fall under this categorical storytelling fallacy. Continue reading

was Canaan the child of Ham and Noah’s wife
In short, those who claim that Ham merely saw his father naked, have no explanation for Canaan’s curse and end up claiming that God curses children for the sins of their fathers. They also end up believing that multi-generational curses can be levied for mere sight of something that naturally occurs in human beings (nakedness). They also violate their own interpretation rules with candor. The facts point to Canaan being the result of an incestuous relationship between Noah’s wife and Canaan. Continue reading

martyrdom of forty wrestlers
It turns out that this story was actually attributed to Vespasian. This is around 320AD whereas Nero (a co-temporary of Paul) reigned from 54-68AD. The difference is huge, enough to rewrite all of Church history. Imagine a story about terrorists blowing up the Twin Towers but in 1730 AD. Not a small mistake. Continue reading
