Does “Jesus Only” Bug You?

Nate — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 14:46:16 +0000

Jesus only. Yeah, I know. It seems narrow. And it's certainly uncomfortable, even for many Christ-followers. But . . . should we always expect truth to be comfortable?

Evil and suffering proves . . . not what you think.

Some folks think the existence of evil and suffering proves that God doesn't exist. Actually, if anything, it more likely proves He does.

If God is loving, surely he won’t hold us accountable for right belief. Right?

If God is as Christians claim, loving and caring, then surely He won't hold us accountable for believing correctly. Right?

How can there be just “one true religion”?

Have you ever thought about the "counter claims" between "just one true religion" and "all religions have part of the truth but not all of it"?

Stem cells, human life, and ethics

President Obama’s recent decision to allow for stem cell research to expand to the human embryo is a big deal. So what are the issues at stake . . . or is it just tissue we’re talking about?

Stem cells and the nature of life

The question regarding human embryonic stem cells is not whether it’s human life. The secular scientists tell us that the human embryo is both living and distinctly human. The question then becomes, what is the nature and value of human life.

Is it cool to talk about stem cells and God?

Some people think it’s not cool to talk about God in public debate/discourse. President Obama talks about “separating idealogy from the science.” Sounds okay . . . but there is human life involved here.

Mr. Magorium, the box, and life

I don’t know if you’ve seen this really cool movie entitled “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium”. While not a theistic or Judeo-Christian movie, it asks this really big question…is there more to life than what we see? Or, in the language of the movie, “Is it just a box?”

Does “Jesus only” bug you?

A lot of people are generally okay with Christianity but it’s the thing about “Jesus only” which is the big turn off. How can God be fair if there’s only one way to Him? Well, here’s a new take on Christ alone.

What about hell?

Nate — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 22:40:13 +0000

Talk about the ultimately uncomfortable topic! Hell is a myth, right? Nobody really believes this stuff, right? Well, think about this. Isn’t hell a subject so deadly serious that at least at some point in our lives we need to take a moment and think seriously about it?
