The first line of historical evidence for Jesus' resurrection is Jesus' death by crucifixion. In addition to providing the evidence that has convinced virtually all historians of this fact, I also explore the nature of crucifixion, how it killed its victims, the shape of the cross, the date of Jesus' crucifixion, and more.

I'm starting a 6-part series on finding the will of God. In episode 1, I compare and contrast the two models of God's will, and argue that only one is based in Scripture.

I cover the four remaining historical facts that I'll argue are best explained by Jesus' resurrection from the dead:
5. The conversion of James
6. The conversion of Paul
7. The changed behavior of the disciples
8. The origin of the disciples' belief in the resurrection

I examine Jesus’ teaching on remarriage in Mt 19, focusing on His exception clause. Should we understand Jesus’ exception to be applicable to both divorce and remarriage, or only divorce? I argue that Jesus’ exception gives moral permission to the innocent spouse to both divorce and remarry. I also address why it is that the innocent spouse who was victimized by sexual immorality is free to remarry following a divorce, but the innocent spouse who was victimized by an unjust divorce is not.

I started my exploration of Thomas Aquinas' Five Ways, beginning with his First Way - the argument from motion. Aquinas argues that only God can explain why things change. Change can only be explained by a First, Unmoved Mover; i.e. a Being who is the ultimate source of all change, but is itself not changed by anything.

Thinking to Believe - 038: Understanding the Atonement: 1-N-Done Episode
play

12/03/22 • 49 min

In this 1-N-Done episode, I explain the meaning of the atonement in a concise, simple manner, devoid of all the details provided in the 4-part series. It's easy to get lost in the details of the series, so this episode will help you put the pieces of the doctrine together in a simple manner and get a bird's eye view of the atonement.

Even if it's true that Jesus rose from the dead, so what? It may be odd. It may be amazing. But why should it matter to me? What's the significance of Jesus' resurrection from the dead? I lay out nine reasons that Jesus' resurrection changed the world, and ought to change your life.

In this miscellany episode, I exegete two passages in 1 Corinthians 3. I argue that when Paul warns people about the way they are building (with gold, silver, and precious stones vs. wood, hay, and straw), he is not talking about individual Christians' spiritual development. He is talking about the way in which ministers in Corinth were ministering to the body of Christ. Some of their efforts have eternal worth and some do not, and they need to be sure that they are building something of eternal value.
When Paul goes on to warn against destroying God's temple, he's not referring to Christians sinning against their own bodies by smoking, drinking, etc., but warning ministers that if they destroy God's people, God will destroy them.
Then, I explain why DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) is an evil, racist, unjust, Marxist philosophy that should be rejected by Christians because it requires discriminating against some groups to benefit others, and values group identity over personal merit.
I also argue that those who have failed at some X can still be a source of advice regarding X.
Finally, I pet the peeve...twice! I talk about Christian parents who have their kids involved in so many extracurricular activities that they don't have the time to focus on the family and spiritual development. I also talk about those who feel the need to tune out anyone who disagrees with them.
