Worldview Analysis Course: Youth Study Notes

Here are some helpful little notes that we introduced our youth to today at church. We have started a worldview analysis study for the next 8-10 weeks that I trust will be very helpful to our young Christians as they prepare to go out into the secular world. I figured that these small tidbits would…

The Jehovah’s Witnesses and Col. 1:16-17: Part 2

When dealing in Colossians 1 with the Jehovah’s Witnesses, verse 16 is an obvious key to demonstrating the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ as the creator of “all things” and therefore, very God of very God. However, there is a rescuing device that the Witness will fall back on and that device is found in…

The Jehovah’s Witnesses and Col. 1:16-17

A few posts ago, I noted that the Jehovah’s Witness translation of the Bible, the New World Translation, alters the english rendering of Colossians 1:16, which states that Christ created “all things.” Contrary to the correct rendering of “panta,” or, “all things” (the Greek uses τὰ πάντα – see note below from the BDAG), the Witnesses proclaim that Christ…

Dr. James White on the Jehovah’s Witnesses

Theistic Evolution and Preconditions

The “Transcendental Argument for the Existence of God” argues in short that worldviews which oppose the Bible and the God of the Bible, fall well short of being able to account for the preconditions of intelligibility. What this means is opposing worldviews cannot account for that which is essential to understand human experience, such as…

New Bible Study Video on Atheism

I have just posted todays Apologetics Bible study, which can be found HERE. Today’s topic was “Debating With Atheists: Moral Absolutes” and should be very helpful in weeding out some of the nonsense that gets thrown at the Christian worldview from those of the anti-theistic position. Many blessings…
