Do we need to rethink penal substitutionary atonement? According to a new popular book, the answer is a resounding YES. In his book "Lamb of the Free," Dr. Andrew R. Rillera argues against there is no such thing as substitutionary atonement in the Torah and that substitutionary atonement is both misguided and harmful. As far as I am aware, there has not been an in-depth response to this book. Dr. William Lane Craig joins me to set the record straight. READ: Atonement and the Death of Christ, by W.L.

Joshua 3recounts the Israelites' crossing of the Jordan River, where they consecrated themselves in preparation for a miracle. As the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant stepped into the river, the water stopped flowing upstream, and the entire nation crossed to the Promised Land on dry ground. This event demonstrated God's power and faithfulness, with the priests remaining in the river until everyone had crossed. Preparation: Before crossing, Joshua told the people to "consecrate yourselves" because the Lord was going to perform wonders.The Crossing: At Joshua's command, the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant stepped into the flooding Jordan River.The Miracle: As soon as their feet touched the water, the river stopped flowing upstream at the city of Adam, allowing the entire nation of Israel to cross on dry ground.Symbolism: The miracle was a sign to the people that God was with them and would help them conquer the land, fulfilling His promises.Lasting Memorial: After the crossing, Joshua instructed the people to take twelve stones from the riverbed to create a memorial for future generations to remember this event. Please SUBSCRIBE to our Channel!Check out online TRAINING at EQUIPPEDACADEMY.COMBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/reason-for-truth--2774396/support.

Send us a textWhat happens when two Christians from different theological backgrounds sit down to discuss the topics most churches avoid? In this engaging conversation, Cass welcomes Matt from Post-PostModern Theology for a deep dive into philosophy, apologetics, and the cultural forces shaping modern Christianity.Matt shares his journey from skeptical Greek Orthodox roots to apologetics, explaining how postmodernism has become the "cannibalistic" worldview eating itself alive—from transgender ideology contradicting feminism to Richard Dawkins becoming a "cultural Christian." But the conversation goes beyond cultural critique. Discover why Christians struggle to share their faith (hint: it's about counting the cost), how to have controversial conversations with grace, and why every single person—atheist or believer—lives by faith. Matt breaks down complex philosophical concepts like epistemology and presuppositional apologetics into practical wisdom for defending your beliefs.The discussion takes controversial turns: Is Christian Zionism hurting the church? What did Jesus really mean in the Olivet Discourse? Why isn't communion mentioned in John's Last Supper account? Should Christians observe the Sabbath?Throughout, both hosts model what they preach: respectful disagreement, intellectual humility, and a commitment to testing everything against Scripture. Whether you're reformed, Pentecostal, or somewhere in between, this conversation will challenge you to examine what you believe and why.Key Topics:Postmodernism's impact on church and cultureApologetics methods (evidential vs presuppositional)Israel, eschatology, and end times theologyThe problem of Christian echo chambersWhy the laws of logic prove immaterial reality existsCommunion, Sabbath, and denominational differencesPerfect for: Christians seeking intellectual depth, anyone interested in apologetics, and believers ready to step outside their theological comfort zone.Follow @hertheology on Instagram & YouTube.

Growing up means becoming the new you. And growing always comes with growing pains. This week we discuss mom-growing-pains and how to avoid the steps that lead to the pit of despair. The post It's the Pit of Despair! appeared first on Sheologians.

Original airdate: 6/5/25 Mary welcomes new guest Judge Phil Ginn of Southern Evangelical Seminary to discuss the critical need for apologetics - understanding it, and using what we learn. It can be like a foreign language, if you don't use it you just might lose it. Hiding God's Word in our hearts is critical to the articulation of biblical apologetics. We will talk about their upcoming National Apologetics Conference. Then we look at the quagmire parents have found themselves in when trying to assert their rights and opt out of perverted DEI type indoctrination. The public schools don't want to deal with those messes, because hey, that means their students aren't learning to be oh so tolerant of diversity and inclusion. Well, that's on them, the schools - and parents are fighting back. Finally, we look at our government and why Trump has to deal with the O'Biden judiciary mess via activist judges. How did we get to the point that our duly elected President has his agenda hijacked at every turn? An enlightening hour with the president of SES, a former judge and very sharp regarding the Christian worldview.   Stand Up For The Truth Videos: https://rumble.com/user/CTRNOnline & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgQQSvKiMcglId7oGc5c46A

Gary discusses the current state of eschatology debates online. It can be easy to become dismissive of others who can't understand or agree with your position, but Gary has a different approach. He often says, "Don't give a reason for people to reject your position except the position itself."

Most Christians misunderstand apologetics. They think it's arguing, intellectual snobbery, or something only “elite Christians” do. But Voddie Baucham said it best:“If you think apologetics doesn't work, you don't know apologetics — and you don't know me.”This episode breaks down what apologetics actually is:

On the last four episodes of the Profile, we have discussed the importance of understanding and living in accordance with the fact that we as human beings are intentionally created by God, in His image. When we lose sight of this central truth about our humanity, much moral and societal confusion and many evils will soon follow. If naturalism is true, then morality and virtue are mere sentiments, not anything objectively true or real. Literary scholar and Christian apologist C.S. Lewis recognized what individual and cultural consequences would follow in the wake of moral relativism. On this episode of Apologetics Profile, we discuss C.S. Lewis's The Abolition of Man with Lewis scholar and author Dr. Michael Ward and how Lewis's thoughts are still very much relevant for our time. From michaelward.netMichael Ward is an English literary critic and theologian. He works at the University of Oxford where he is an associate member of the Faculty of Theology and Religion. He is the author of the award-winning and best-selling Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C.S. Lewis (Oxford University Press) and of After Humanity: A Guide to C.S. Lewis's The Abolition of Man (Word on Fire Academic); he is the co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to C.S. Lewis (Cambridge University Press). Though based at Oxford in his native England, Dr Ward is also employed as Professor of Apologetics at Houston Christian University, Texas, teaching one course per semester as part of the online MA program in Christian Apologetics.Free Four-Page Articles From Watchman FellowshipCharles Darwin Carl Sagan's CosmosNaturalism Deconstruction FREE: We are also offering a subscription to our 4-page bimonthly Profiles here: www.watchman.org/Free.PROFILE NOTEBOOK: Order the complete collection of Watchman Fellowship Profiles (over 600 pages -- from Astrology to Zen Buddhism) in either printed or PDF formats here: www.watchman.org/notebook.

Is Christianity Oppressive to Women? History Says the Exact Opposite Is Christianity oppressive to women—or is that one of the biggest myths of modern culture? In this episode, we take a hard look at the historical evidence, comparing how women were treated in bot the cultures of classical antiquity as well as 20th century non-Christian societies like India, China, and various Islamic states. The results are surprising: women consistently flourished most where Christianity took root. This is just one aspect of how modern Western society—now rapidly abandoning Christianity—has replaced the pursuit of human flourishing with entertainment, consumerism, and self-focused identity. Yet historically, Christianity created the social systems, moral frameworks, and communities that helped women and men thrive.

2025-11-16 Biblical Givingby Pastor Chris BergScripture References: Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.Psalm 24:1 The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, a the world and those who dwell therein,2 Corinthians 8:10-12  And in this matter I give my judgment: this benefits you, who a year ago started not only to do this work but also to desire to do it. 11 So now finish doing it as well, so that your readiness in desiring it may be matched by your completing it out of what you have. 12 For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have. 2 Corinthians 9:7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.2 Corinthians 8:1-5 We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia, 2 for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part. 3 For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own accord, 4 begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints— 5 and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us.Exodus 36:5-7  and said to Moses, “The people bring much more than enough for doing the work that the Lord has commanded us to do.” 6 So Moses gave command, and word was proclaimed throughout the camp, “Let no man or woman do anything more for the contribution for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing, 7 for the material they had was sufficient to do all the work, and more.Matthew 6:2-4 “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.2 Corinthians 9:6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.2 Kings 4:1-7 Now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord, but the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves.” 2 And Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me; what have you in the house?” And she said, “Your servant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil.” 3 Then he said, “Go outside, borrow vessels from all your neighbors, empty vessels and not too few. 4 Then go in and shut the door behind yourself and your sons and pour into all these vessels. And when one is full, set it aside.” 5 So she went from him and shut the door behind herself and her sons. And as she poured they brought the vessels to her. 6 When the vessels were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” And he said to her, “There is not another.” Then the oil stopped flowing. 7 She came and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on the rest.”Luke 6:38 give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”Philippians 4:18-20  I have received full payment, and more. I am well supplied, having received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent, a fragrant offering, a sacrifice acceptable and pleasing to God. 19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 To our God and Father be glory forever and ever.

The first-century historian Flavius Josephus is the oldest source we have for the historical Jesus outside of the Bible.His 90-word paragraph about Jesus - where he calls Jesus “the Christ”, and says Jesus “appeared to them [the disciples] alive again on the third day", spending a third day restored to life - has sparked centuries of debate.Most experts think this paragraph has an authentic core, but has been embellished by a later Christian scribe.But new scholarly evidence has emerged that might turn our understanding of Josephus - and what he wrote about Jesus - on its head.(00:00) - - 90 Words (10:39) - - Flavius Josephus (14:20) - - Traitor or pragmatist?

It seems to be a common occurrence in families that one of the kids, or maybe even one of the spouses or other family members, has wandered away from Holy Communion with the Church. People seem desperate for answers about what do do and how to convince them to return. The answers are usually not that simple. But, there are some simple places to start, like prayer and personal witness.

The ONLY difference comes down to this: ONE's choice and God's judgement. Jesus Christ and Holy Spirit salvation, or HELL, choose wisely!Contact Us: Covenants.llc1@yahoo.com; CovenantsOnLine.com; @Covenants; or call 304.528.9220.

In this episode of Christ the Center, Camden Bucey and Lane Tipton explore Geerhardus Vos's profound treatment of faith in the Gospel of John (pp. 390–392 of Biblical Theology). Vos unfolds faith not as an abstract belief but as a living, continuous union with the incarnate and ascended Truth—Jesus Christ Himself. John's theology binds faith and truth together: the Son comes down from heaven as the true light, true bread, true vine, and the Truth (John 1:9; 6:32; 15:1; 14:6). Faith, therefore, is a Spirit-wrought communion with the heavenly reality revealed in Him. Tipton and Bucey trace how this Johannine vision lifts believers from the shadowy worship of the old covenant to true, eschatological worship "in spirit and in truth." Faith beholds Christ even now, anticipating the beatific vision. In contrast to philosophical or impersonal notions of truth, Vos insists that truth is personal, Trinitarian, and heavenly—rooted in the self-revealing God. Thus, saving faith is not blind trust but an intimate, knowing participation in the life of the risen Christ, a foretaste of the age to come.

When did Christians first recognize the biblical canon and how do we know we have the right books? Today, we have New Testament scholar Dr. Michael Kruger (The Question of Canon) to unpack what “canon” means, why recognition began far earlier than the 4th century, and how both intrinsic factors (covenant, apostles) and extrinsic factors (heretics like Marcion) shaped the process. We also address why Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox differ, and what to make of texts like The Shepherd of Hermas and the Gospel of Thomas.
