Are you a “none?” Many people today claim to have no religious affiliation. Indeed there are so many religions and so many ways to look at reality it is difficult to commit to any one viewpoint. But these questions of ultimate reality cannot be put off forever. At some point in your life, you will have to make a choice. Even not choosing will be a choice in the end. Here we beg

The core message of Christianity consists of four main points: 1. God loves us and he created us to worship and glorify him. 2. We have failed to worship and obey God. 3. In his death and resurrection, Jesus paid the penalty for our sins and therefore we can be forgiven by God. 4. We each need to make Jesus the Saviour and Lord of our lives.Christian apologists defend these four po

When some Christians first learn about apologetics they can get excited about "proving" that Christianity is true. But "proving" that it's true is not as simple as it might sound. It's not that Christianity lacks sound evidence. (There is plenty of evidence.) The problem is that what counts as proof to one person, does not count as proof to another. This is especially apparent in t

Stand-up comedian, George Carlin, says that God does not exist and that the Bible is (essentially) a book of fairy tales. Apologetics is all about examining and critiquing these types of claims. The Bible says in 1 Peter 3:15 that Christians should always be prepared to give an answer for the hope that is in them. When Christians use apologetics to engage people with “gentleness

Neil DeGrasse Tyson alleges that when the religions of the world claim certain things to be true, they are just declaring “personal truths.” However, this is a perversion of what those religions are all about. For example, Islam’s adherence to strict monotheism is certainly not something that Muslims regard as a mere subjective, personal claim. This can be seen from the fact

Neil DeGrasse Tyson claims that "religious truths" are just "personal truths." If this was correct, it would put Christian truth claims such as, "Jesus rose from the dead," in the same category as claims such as, "Bubble ice cream is the best flavour in the whole world." But this is a serious distortion of what the Bible teaches and how Christians have always understood their own b

Michael Shermer alleges that the arguments and evidence for Christianity only convinces those that already believe. But this is not true. Many people have examined the evidence and changed their minds. Sometimes they go all the way and become a follower of Jesus, and sometimes they just take steps in that direction. One example of this is the late Antony Flew. Flew was a profession

Michael Shermer alleges that the arguments and evidence for Christianity only convince those that already believe. But this is not true. Many people have examined the evidence and decided to put their faith in Jesus. One example of this is Jordan Monge who started her studies at Harvard University as a committed atheist. While studying there she realized that the case for Christian
