The episode reveals that many of these atheists engage more in critiquing Christianity than in articulating their own beliefs about atheism, raising questions about their underlying motivations.

Ultimately, the discussion leads to reflections on sincerity in dialogue, the nature of belief, and the powerful impact of genuine interactions in the realm of faith and skepticism.A fascinating conversation unfolds as Andrew Rapoport and Adam Parker tackle an intriguing paradox: why do professing atheists spend so much time discussing a deity they claim does not exist?

The discussion centers around the contentious question of whether the Roman Catholic Church is responsible for giving us the Bible.

He highlights that Genesis, for instance, was accepted as part of the biblical canon by the early Jewish community, thus negating the Catholic Church's claim of being the sole arbiter of scripture. Sebastian counters this viewpoint by asserting the necessity of the Church's role in canonization, positing that the Church's historical authority is essential for maintaining the integrity of the biblical texts.The discussion evolves as both parties delve into the implications of their perspectives on salvation and the role of tradition.

Rapp Report episode 311 Andrew returns to the series What We Believe.The local church is autonomous, free from any external authority or control, with the right of self-government and freedom from the interference of any hierarchy of individuals or organizations (Titus 1:5). It is scriptural for true churches to cooperate with each other for the presentation and propagation of the faith. Each local church, however, through its elders and their interpretation and application of Scripture, should be the sole judge of the measure and method of its cooperation. The elders should determine all other matters of membership, policy, discipline, benevolence, and government, as well (Acts 15:19-31; 20:28; 1 Corinthians 5:4-7, 13; 1 Peter 5:1-4).This podcast is a ministry of Striving for Eternity and all our resources Listen to other podcasts on the Christian Podcast CommunitySupport Striving for EternityLeave us a reviewGive us your feedback, email us info@StrivingForEternity.comGet the book What Do They BelieveGet the book What Do We BelieveSponsors:Squirrelly Joe's CoffeeLogos Bible SoftwareMyPillow or call (800) 873-0176 and use promo SFE Mentioned in this episode:Bible Interpretation made Easy seminarBook a SfE speaker todayWe have several speakers that can cover many different topics.
