Who Did Jesus Say That He Was? - He & The Father Are One
The relationship that Jesus attributed to Himself and the Father is another item that no mere created creature would rightfully attribute to themselves and be truthful. However, we see that Jesus taught in such a way that even His enemies knew what He was doing - so much so they attributed to Him the charge of blasphemy. Even his fair-weathered followers and His closest friends sometimes had a hard time grasping.

The classical approach to answering the problem of evil tends to focus on either the free will defense or the best of all possible worlds. It may take a different approach than what you've heard covered on this show (in a positive light) and should be defined by the proponents who use it.

We now move onto an important apologetic concept for John Frame and that is what The Bible's rationale for itself is. A defense of the Gospel - the Good News of salvation in Jesus Christ resides in the defense of the Scriptures.
Frame's take is presuppositional in nature and also critical of so-called Bible scholars involved in biblical criticism. Patrick also provides some scathing critique of a film from 2010 that kinda falls in line of what the great philosopher is talking about - we hope.
And hey! - new bookshelves!

The teleological argument says that since we see design in the world, therefore God exists. This argument has fallen out of favor recently but there's no need for the Christian to drop this great point and wave it from the created mountain.

We cover that Fideists do engage in apologetics. It is just that the way they carry it out is different than the other apologetics models.

One of the ways that the Bible speaks about God being active in the allowance of evil is in God's divine hardening. The biggest example of this is Pharaoh in continually withholding the freedom of the Hebrews from captivity.

No matter what summary or review I give this, fans of this book will say it’s wrong. Oh well! Severian is trained as a torturer for the kingdom. He’s happy to learn his trade until one day he meets a woman and he does the one thing you’re not supposed to do as a torturer - show mercy. Now, he’s on the run in a world that is far bigger than he realized. And that’s it. Nothing else….Well ok, this maybe the far-far future and there are androids and magic might just be high levels of tech and the whole book is from Severian’s perspective as the future ruler of the world but maybe not and it all might be Gene Wolfe metanarrative although he claims to have received this story from the future in some sort of channeled fever dream. I love scifi!
