Apologetics 4 - Dismantling Unbelief

“Should Christians be the ones on the back-foot when it comes to explaining our faith? What if Christians expected non-believers to give an account for their worldview? We might find that the non-Christian is secretly borrowing from a Christian worldview to make his worldview work.”

Apologetics - how do people know

“Since apologetics is defending the Christian faith, giving proofs for the faith, and going on the offense against unbelieving thoughts, it is important to understand how the Bible describes knowledge, knowing, and truth.

The Gospel of Light, Life and Love

How could a loving God send people to Hell? What about those who’ve never heard of Jesus? These common objections to Christianity are answered by none other than Jesus Christ Himself, in a passage (John 3:16-21) that explains God’s actions and attitudes to the world, and their actions and attitudes…

The difference between religion and rebirth

“South Africa is incredibly religious. But do we experience real renewal and a living relationship with God? Nicodemus was the ultimate religionist, who sat down with the Son of God. The resulting conversation teaches us the difference between religion and rebirth.”

Problem Passages 6# Canaanite Genocide Part 2

“Is the destruction of the Canaanites an example of ethnic cleansing? When we understand the context and meaning of these Scriptures, we learn that it was nothing of the sort.”

The Problem Passages #3 treatment of woman

“Does the Bible condone slavery? Critics of the Bible claim that both the Old and New Testaments support the institution of slavery. We consider whether this is true, and discover what the Bible’s true attitude is toward human trafficking and slavery.”

Problem passages #2 Harsh punishment
