One of the primary confusions that I see within the Christian sphere has to do with attitudes towards law keeping, specifically, God’s law and the ordinances set forth in Scripture. Two attitudes that are prevalent within the church are (1) we are no longer under the law and therefore, we have no guiding law-like system…
THE PROBLEM OF EVIL The final area of internal critique of the materialistic worldview comes via the problem of evil. Intimately tied to the subject of objective morality, this issue for the Materialist is seemingly insurmountable given their foundational presuppositions. First, the recognition that evil does exist implies that there is an objective standard…
Moral Absolutes The second realm of law that the materialistic universe cannot justify falls into the area of moral absolutes.

To say that man is little more than a chance accident…
In the clip below, Dr. Greg L. Bahnsen, “The Man That Atheists Fear Most” was giving a lecture on the campus of Arizona State University (I believe) when a self-professed pagan attempted to challenge him on the topic of moral absolutes and the Bible. What follows is the logical conclusion of those who deny moral…
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…
It is very interesting to note the amazing inconsistency of the “secular” nations that are opposed to the Uganda Anti-Gay Bill.
