TAG Christianity Is It – Ep. 138 – Dr. James Anderson Interview
TAG! Christianity Is It! We have the absolute pleasure of welcoming Dr. James Anderson to the show. We recently went through his book “Why Should I Believe Christianity” which was a presuppositional take on taking seriously the claims of the worldview of Christianity. We also said it was a good give-away book in that it […]
If Christianity’s True – Ep. 135 – Why Should I Believe Christianity? – Defying Death & What Now?
If Christianity’s True We conclude Dr. James Anderson’s book by looking at what if Christianity’s true. We discuss alternative explanations to the Resurrection and see that they don’t rise to the occasion. Did Jesus swoon? Have His body stolen? By the disciples? By the Romans/Jewish leaders? Was it all an illusion? There are good reasons […]
Resurrection Proofs – Ep. 134 – Why Should I Believe Christianity? – Defying Death – Part 1
Resurrection Proofs The ultimate moment in history for Christians is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. If Christianity is true, this event is the most important event for every person who lived, living, or will ever live. Where do Resurrection proofs fit in the Christian worldview then? Through the anticipation of Old Testament prophecy, the testimony […]
Jesus Is God – Ep. 133 – Why Should I Believe Christianity? – God With Us – Part 2
Jesus Is God After looking at the claims made by others about who Jesus is, we turn to Jesus and see what He says about Himself. We can conclude that Jesus is God by His own testimony and the events surrounding His life. We look at Jesus accepting worship, approving the use of the title […]
Who Is Jesus? – Ep. 132 – Why Should I Believe Christianity? – God With Us – Part 1
Who Is Jesus? “Who is Jesus?” is a question that has not only been asked of by Christians and skeptics. That question is an important one to many other world religions, people seeking understanding, people of today and yesterday. A big part of the Christian worldview revolves around the centrality of – Christ, Jesus. We […]
Way, Truth, & Life – Ep. 130 – Why Should I Believe Christianity? – God Is Not Silent – Part 2
Way, Truth, & Life Christianity declares that it is the sole way, truth, & life. But it is not the only origin truth claim in town. Eastern religions, Islam, and Judaism are competing truth claims. They are all mutually exclusive – contradict each other and can’t all be true. So examining what we’ve covered so […]
Written Bible – Ep. 129 – Why Should I Believe Christianity? – God Is Not Silent – Part 1
Written Bible A written Bible is expected and should be wanted. Following the logic that just as we are created beings who communicate in a personal way with language to convey information; we would expect the Creator God to also communicate in a personal way. So not only should we understand that something like the […]
Ep. 127 – Why Should I Believe Christianity? – God Is There – Part 3
God Is There God is there and there are things in the world that point to him. We finish the chapter covering how reason, the mind, and science all point to God’s existence. While atheists try and make themselves solely about science, we see their lack of grounding a bigger deal than they seem. As […]
Ep. 126 – Why Should I Believe Christianity? – God Is There – Part 2
Moral Meaning Moral meaning values come up when we talk about politics, society, business practices, and other interactions between people and the world. However, when we say that the world isn’t as it should be or that we should do something or we ought not to do something, we are declaring that we believe there’s […]
Ep. 125 – Why Should I Believe Christianity – God Is There – Part 1
God Is There God is real and there are real implications from that truth. When critics attempt to end the discussion of asking for proof that God is real they look for only one type of proof. What they look for is evidential, physical proof. But because of the nature of God, that’s the wrong […]
Salvation – Ep. 123 – Why Should I Believe Christianity – Christianity As A Worldview – Part 3
Salvation – The Relationship Of God & Man Salvation is the third and final aspect of the Christian worldview to cover to set the stage for why one should believe Christianity. We see that God is able to speak and does speak to His creation. And what He says echoes in eternity. Even while being […]
Original Sin – Ep. 122 – Why Should I Believe Christianity – Christianity As A Worldview – Part 2
The Origin Of Original Sin We go from perfect sinlessness to the original sin. But hey, at least we enter the picture finally! One of the things that all worldviews attempt to answer is, “Why are we here?” and “How are things the way they are?” The Christian worldview speaks to both of those things […]
Who Is God? – Ep. 121 – Why Should I Believe Christianity? – Christianity As A Worldview – Part 1
Who Is God? Who is God? Since Christianity is a worldview, we have to understand what that worldview says and where it comes from. Both questions’ answers are found in the revealed nature of who is God. God has the ability and right to be the source of the revelation of Himself. It is found […]
A Faith Test – Ep. 120 – Why Should I Believe Christianity – The Big Picture – Part 2
A Faith Test Is it possible to put truth claims of a faith to a test? Dr. James Anderson showcases a four-fold test for seeing if the whole worldview system of a religion or belief system can be shown to be believable. Not only can this be done in isolation of another belief system but […]
Worldview Of Christianity – Ep. 119 – Why Should I Believe Christianity – The Big Picture – Part 1
Christianity As A Worldview Everyone has a worldview but not everyone realizes it. When considering Christianity, breaking it up into its components allows critics to misconstrue the whole system of Christianity. Since Christianity is an entire worldview outlook, we must look at the belief system as the entire system in total lest we create straw […]
Skepticism – Ep. 118 – Why Should I Believe Christianity – Introduction – Why Believe? – Part 2
Skepticism As Default Approach? Should we approach all claims with skepticism? While it seems like this is the smartest approach it’s not how we approach most truth claims. So when it comes to Christianity we should have an understanding of our beliefs and our ability to know true things. Finally, it’s important to understand that […]
Prove Christianity – Ep. 117 – Why Should I Believe Christianity? – Introduction – Why Believe?
How Can I Prove Christianity? If one were to go about trying to prove Christianity, how would one do that? The first question to ask is really, “Why should anyone believe anything at all?”. In the introduction to James Anderson‘s book, we look at that and why believe Christianity in particular. Is all truth relative? […]
