Will Adam and Eve be in Heaven? Thank you for your question and there are a couple of aspects to this question that I will address.  As you are a believer, I’m going to assume that you believe Heaven exists.  For non-believers, this is a huge theological issue and construct.  I’m convinced that Heaven is a place where we were...

Do you have questions about God? Happy Thanksgiving everyone, from Culturewarcollege.com.  Our new apologetics course website, askanyquestion.info, is up and running.  Why launch a website on Thanksgiving? We think that some conversations about God that you may have around the Thanksgiving dinner table—or anytime—may lead you or others...

“We have to look to the past and get back to some basic principles if there is going to be any future worth having.” We live in a post-truth culture.  “Post-truthers” may even stipulate to your truth.  The truth doesn’t matter to them.  What takes priority is their feelings and emotions and their autonomy.  This is why you have safe zones on...

Am I scared to die?  I can honestly say that I am not afraid of dying.  As a pilot, I would have found flying very difficult if I was afraid of death, much less putting on my seatbelt and driving down the street in a car—which is way more dangerous than flying.

I think you and I can agree that God created a world that included suffering as part of it.  Before our parents had us as children, they made a decision to sacrifice and, indeed, suffer on our behalf.  Love requires sacrifice.  Procreation, an amazing privilege granted to us by our Creator God, in the world He designed, certainly included suffering in birth, countless sleepless nights for our parents when we were ill, cloth diapers (well, at least for my Mom), carpooling to soccer or basketball games, postponing their social lives to make sure we had one, and on, and on, and on.  Early on they counted the cost of suffering to raise us and found it both necessary and welcome.

Richard Dawkins (noted atheist): “Christianity is a fairy tale for those who are afraid of the dark.”

John Lennox (noted theologian): “Atheism is a fairy tale for those who are afraid of the light.”

Dear Atheist,

There are times in our lives when we really need God to be God.  Whether in the depths of despair or the darkness of loss, or when we have ventured into hopelessness, we say we need Him to “show up” in a big way.  We have no idea how to solve the problem or cure the illness or restore the vitality of hope in our lives.  He invites us to pray to Him.  “Ask and you shall receive,” He says.  But often there is only silence or “static” on the frequency we have chosen to hear from Him.  And our questions remain, for we haven’t heard from Him.

So, you want to meet God?

The rise of skepticism relied somewhat upon the supposition that while “your truth was good for you, then my truth was good for me.”  Some Christians might counter with the notion that “God said it, I believe it, and that settles it.”  But the skeptic would say he didn’t believe in the Bible and what it said.  His truth was based upon reason and what he could understand in his own mind.

It’s Palm Sunday, and I have emerged from my obscurity today to announce that I will be uploading blog posts each day this coming week.  This series is called “Answers to Questioners – An Easter Series” and reflects some of our efforts to present a long-promised third course for Culture War College, which is a course in apologetics.
