Podcast appearances and mentions of kurt jaros

Tim and Josh are joined by Kurt Jaros to explore the recent blow up concerning a commencement speech delivered by Kansas City Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker at St. Benedictine College in the spring of 2024. Did Butker outkick his coverage? Were the things he said sexist, homophobic, and misogynistic? How should Christians think of the topics Butker covered and what do we say to those offended by his speech?   Josh's article: https://freethinkingministries.com/the-new-cultural-christianity/

Two different approaches to apologetics were debated in this classic show from the archives. K Scott Oliphint is Professor of Apologetics & Systematic Theology at Westminater Theological Seminary, PA. Kurt Jaros is the founder of www.realclearapologetics.com   Scott believes that the best apologetic method is to assume that Christianity is true and show why a non-Christian is suppressing that truth. Atheists presuppose the existence of God even to argue against Him. This approach is called presuppositional or covanental apologetics.   Kurt Jaros believes that method is flawed and argues for the primacy of Natural Theology (or evidential apologetics) in presenting the case for Christianity to non-believers.   • Subscribe to the Unbelievable? podcast: https://pod.link/267142101 • More shows, free eBook & newsletter: https://premierunbelievable.com • For live events: http://www.unbelievable.live • For online learning: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/training • Support us in the USA: http://www.premierinsight.org/unbelievableshow • Support us in the rest of the world: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/donate

http://apologeticsguy.com Has the Bible been changed over time? Was the Bible REALLY corrupted or tampered with? In episode 7 of the Apologetics Guy Show, Drs. Mikel Del Rosario, Peter Gurry, and Kurt Jaros discuss the nature of changes and differences we find in the wording of the handwritten copies of the Bible that have ben discovered, focusing on how well the message of the New Testament has been preserved. While scribes may have changed the exact wording in the copies they made, we have not lost the message of the Bible! Note: When textual critics talk about errors, they mean scribal changes or mistakes in copying (not theological or historical errors). The doctrine of inerrancy is not at stake in discussions of textual criticism. Join us for a lively discussion on the topic of Bible changes and see what scholars say about textual criticism, the New Testament, and why we can still trust the Bible.

There is a lot of discussions that can happen revolving around New Testament Theology, but one of the best is in regards to Calvinism versus Arminianism. Is it an either-or choice or is there a third option? Also, have Christians been guilty of unjustifiably attacking the skeptic Bart Ehrman? Check out this conversation I had with Dr. Kurt Jaros as we discuss New Testament theology and a whole lot more.   Check out my website for more content I create: https://www.dyerconversations.com Connect with me on social media: https://www.instagram.com/dyerconversations/ https://twitter.com/williammdyer   Connect with Dr. Kurt Jaros: https://veracityhill.com/ https://www.facebook.com/veracityhill https://twitter.com/VeracityHill    

Host Dr. Kurt Jaros begins today's discussion by asking for Dr. Craig Keener's take on the controversial Christian debate: Calvinism or Arminianism? In analyzing that question, Dr. Keener turns his gaze to the extremes (hyper-Calvinism and hyper-Arminianism) first, and then begins to look at the semantics of terms like "election" and "God's sovereignty". Specific Biblical passages, such as Romans 9, 11, and Ephesians 1 are all reviewed as Dr. Keener and Dr. Jaros grapple with the apostle Paul's context for writing about election and predestination (which takes Dr. Keener into brief discussions about dispensationalism and covenant theology).#Calvinism #Arminianism #Election0:00 Intro0:22 Introduction to Calvinism VS Arminianism6:03 Dr. Keener's View9:05 The Word “Election”11:45 Romans 11: All of Israel will be Saved14:42 Ephesians 1: Predestination22:06 Dr. Jaros's View23:18 Outro

Did the New Testament writers think that Jesus was coming back in their generation? If Paul believed that, is that what predominantly influenced his views on singleness and marriage? How should we understand Paul's writing on the topic in our modern context? After discussing marriage, the discussion between Dr. Kurt Jaros and Dr. Craig Keener turns to the difficult topic of divorce? What's Dr. Keener's perspective on this matter? Listen and find out!

Dr. Craig Keener shares with Dr. Kurt Jaros some of his memories from sharing the Gospel with others - including some of his most memorable ministry companions, times the Spirit led him to share with people in ways he didn't fully understand, and even occasions where he was beaten for sharing his faith. Tune in!

Dr. Craig Keener sits down with Dr. Kurt Jaros and discusses the concepts and professors he was interacting with in his early academic years at Duke University; including the nature of ancient biographies, existentialism, and apologetics.

Who is Craig Keener?How does a new convert to Christianity become one of the most prolific New Testament scholars today? Dr. Kurt Jaros sits down with Dr. Craig Keener to track his journey. Dr. Keener describes his desire early on to cram the Bible and catch up with his peers.

In the inaugural episode of the Risen Jesus podcast, Kurt Jaros asks Mike about his upbringing, educational background, and more!

Kurt Jaros is the Executive Director of Defenders Media, an alliance of evangelistic ministries that offers a defense of the Christian worldview by delivering modern media that honors God. Defenders Media supports the efforts of these ministries in various ways, increasing the quality of their media and expanding the reach and impact of it. Kurt has written many articles analyzing current issues and how it relates to faith. He is also the host of Veracity Hill, a live podcast that provides insightful commentary on issues involving news, politics, ethics, theology, and more.

Professor Flowers and Kurt Jaros, the Executive Director of Defenders Media, talk through the problem of pain and suffering.  They contrast what is known as the 'blueprint' model with the 'war fare model' of interpretation. They discuss the book of Job and many proof texts often used by the "reformed tradition" to support the blueprint model. They touch on why Open Theism is wrong, but shouldn't be deemed heretical.  They don't have time to get into the doctrine of Original Sin in this episode but plans are made to have Kurt back for that discussion.  Let's dive in. For more information go to www.soteriology101.com For more about Kurt Jaros you can visit: www.defendersmedia.com  Special thanks to TW Haragos for introducing me to Kurt!

Is suffering planned as part of God’s sovereign will? Or is God not to blame, as suffering is the result of an ongoing cosmic spiritual battle? Ken Brownell is a Calvinist pastor and seminary teacher believes the ‘blueprint’ model – that both good and evil are ordained by God as part of his eternal purposes. He discusses the issue with theologian Kurt Jaros who defends a ‘warfare’ model, popularised by bible teachers such as Greg Boyd, that suffering is not ordained by God but is a result of an ongoing cosmic spiritual battle between free creatures.
