In a past post, I shared a chapter out of a book I’m attempting to write for young teens. Now, anyone can read it, but they are my target audience. While the going is slow, it is still on the path to completion. Early teens have questions, but, from my experience, they want an enjoyable […]
A while back, while speaking at a conference, three questions were raised. The first one was on if animals use language or not. The second question was stimulated from a point I made in one of my talks, “The Right Worldview Prepares Students For College and the Real World”. My claim was that the free market […]
At a recent conference, three great questions were tossed my way. I only gave brief responses and then gave sources to find deeper answers. They included do animals use language? What’s the origin of capitalism? And, what do we make of the Old Testament when it seems to suggest God sanctioned genocide (want a jump […]
![The Jesus Story, Was the Resurrection Fiction? [With a Short Video]](https://iapologia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Jesus-Resurrection-780x400-1.jpg)
Someday, someone will probably inform you that the New Testament account of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection is “fiction”. Also, you will probably hear that the accounts are late dated, written generations after Christ, making them more myth then real history. However, if the account of Jesus is false, then Christianity is false! If Jesus […]
Guest post by A.K. Preston. Hollywood screenwriter John Truby, writing in his bestseller The Anatomy of Story, refers to every story as a “moral argument” expressing “the author’s view of how to act in the world.” This is not just (or even primarily) expressed in dialogue, but in the very structure and sequence of the […]
How do cavemen, dinosaurs and similar extinct creatures fit into the Bible? While some people may think they don’t and while the Bible does not say “cavemen” and “dinosaurs” specifically, I don’t think this means that they are incompatible either. Why would we expect the Bible to talk about everything that exists or existed? As […]
Maybe it’s the easiest way to show the world Jesus, maybe it’s the hardest — I’m not sure. Either way, this is the Jesus way. If you don’t like it, take it up with him, not me. While it takes guts to humbly follow Jesus and not yourself, it takes no other special knowledge or […]
![Did Jesus Claim to be God, Equal With the Father? [Podcast]](https://iapologia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/iApologia_Player.png)
In a time when anyone can identify as anything , I’ve a greater sensitivity to those who claim to be Christian, but aren’t. Basic teachings and basic elements of Christianity are ignored or disagreed with, but one still claims to be Christan. Obviously God is the final judge, but the Bible already has criteria laid out. […]
As you gather with family and friends, and kin and kith for Christmas celebrations, conversation starters are always handy. In two previous posts “3 Things You Thought The Bible Says About Christmas, But It Doesn’t” and “5 Christmas Myths That Some May Thought Were in the Bible, But Aren’t“, I noted a number of first […]
![How Should You Vote in the Elections? On Voting, Marxism and Abortion [With Video]](https://iapologia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/voting.jpg)
Today, elections for me and my United States readers are in full swing. Yes, the whole world knows, I know. And yes, we all have questions and concerns. All of us are looking down into a deep pit of uncertainty with the two main candidates. Yes too, I have concerns with both of the two […]
