Episode 71 | Dr. Michael Horton and Adriel Sanchez answer questions on if Ecclesiastes teaches that life is meaningless, historical evidences for Jesus' life, and if God hates certain sins more than others.
There will always be Christians who will rightly and necessarily point out that we must present Christ and not ourselves. They will say that we are in danger of entwining law and gospel. I concur completely with the danger these watchmen see and find of great concern, but I would counter with a similar set of warnings against equally dangerous overreactions.
The world’s religions have certain traits in common, but until the gospel of Jesus Christ burst upon the Mediterranean world, no one in the history of human imagination had conceived of such a message. Christianity is utterly unique for three reasons.
When life is raw and wretched, the only stability to be found is the truth, wherever it exists.
Christians have always been tempted to try to make Christianity more appealing.
Many say that Christians who maintain the historic, traditional doctrines are behind the times, are too exclusive, and are “on the wrong side of history.” Is this true?
“I can’t worship a God who would command his people to go kill all the men, women, and children of another nation.” This is one of the more common objections I hear to Christianity, and I can genuinely sympathize with those who feel this way.
How do we know God exists? How can we know anything? Is faith in God stupid?
According to Scripture, we aren’t meaningless organisms in a blindly indifferent world, but persons intentionally made in the image of God.
So often, when people come to Christ, they are promised "victory in Jesus," but what happens when Christianity doesn’t work?
The issue of "who created God" is not particularly profound, though it apparently started Bertrand Russell on the downhill slide to atheism.
This argument is invalid on several grounds.
