Is Jesus Man, Myth, Madman, Messiah? MP3 Audio by Kenneth Samples - Apologetics 315

This is a great post on Apologetics 315. Kenneth Samples delivers a great lecture. Most of the material I have heard before  but Samples does an awesome job presenting the material. On top of that he did bring up a great point I never thought of before. What kind of man could endure the mental and emotional stresses Jesus did during the crucifixion, trial, and torture? Not to mention living with the knowledge of what He was going to have to do for years! Knowing that it was going to hurt and still doing everything that He was supposed to do that would lead him up to it! Only God could do that. Jesus has to be what He said He is.  Here is the post about the lecture at the link  below.

THE APOLOGETIC FRONT: Textual Criticism and the Book of Mormon

 Over on the Apologetic Front blog there is a great article about an 800 page book on how the Book of Mormon (BoM) has changed over the 200 years. The post frames the importance of  how Mormons think of the Bible compared to the BoM:

It may seem a bit strange for a Mormon to be speaking about textual variants in the Book of Mormon for the simple reason that Mormons have long charged the Bible with corruption. In fact, one of the most common Mormon claims is that "We believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly." Unfortunately, "translated" is confused with "transmitted," as i've heard Mormons time and time again assert that the Bible has been "translated so many times that we are not sure what it might have originally said." And so they argue, "That's why we need the Mormon Scriptures, as well as modern prophets."

Therefore, many Mormons attack the validity of the Bible where it contradicts the BoM, without considering the integrity of the BoM itself. It's avery interesting article.

William Lane Craig vs. George Williamson: Does God Exist? Debate MP3 Audio - Apologetics 315

Here is another gem from Apologetics 315. Here we have William Lane Craig again debating an atheist, George Williamson, on the existence of God.

William Lane Craig was great as always. I was expecting more from the atheist side. I mean where is the "A" material. My one problem with William Lane Craig is how he offers his answer to point of Free Will. I like how he handled the question on the problem of evil. You cannot assume that you know what the goal God has in allowing evil. I'm still of the opinion that if God eradicated all evil, He would have to annihilate every human being who has or will live.
