Christian Apologetics - Life and Doctrine: Trinity : Who is the Creator, the Life Giver?


Here is Mariano's latest  essay on the Trinity. This time he analyzes what the Bible says about  who the creator is. The Father, the son, and the Holy Spirit are all credited with creation and giving life. You can look at his essay and get a list of scriptures showing this.

Truthbomb Apologetics: A Quotable Quote from C.S. Lewis

Chad has posted a great quote from C.S. Lewis.


C.S. Lewis on the importance believing something because it's true:

"Christianity is not a patent medicine. Christianity claims to give an account of facts- to tell you what the real universe is like. Its account of the universe may be true, or it may not, and once the question is really before you, then your natural inquisitiveness must make you want to know the answer. If Christianity is untrue, then no honest man will want to believe it, however, helpful it might be: if it is true, every honest man will want to believe it, even if it gives him no help at all." [1]


I totally agree with Lewis. I love his point. The only response I can have is to believe the Gospel.

Dr. Claude Mariottini - Professor of Old Testament: Defending the Bible: The King James Version

This is an awesome post. I like everything about it. It defends modern translations without denying the importance of the King James Translation. I would suggest that anyone who is interested in this should read The King James Only Controversy by Dr. James White.

In this post Dr. Mariottini is writing a response to an article by Paul Greenberg who give two passages to support an argument that the KJV is a better translation than more modern translations. Mariottini does a great job of explaining why the modern translations render the passages the way they do.

Iron Sharpens Iron: Ken Silva: The Gurus of the Emergent Church: A Response to the Mysticism & Universalism of Shane Hipps & Rob Bell


This was an exciting episode of Iron Sharpens Iron. Chris interviewed Ken Silva on the emergent church movement and why it's not Biblical. I agree. When the church is saying the same things as the world is saying, we have problems. Jesus is central and as the older Christians say its "Holiness or Hell".
