Our English Bibles are not constructed from the original autographs, but from copies of copies of copies. This raises a good question – how faithful to what was originally written are our modern English Bibles? In fact, scholars believe that the New Testament text is now highly faithful to the…

The fatal step that many take who ultimately walk away from the faith is to begin questioning the infallibility and inerrancy of the Bible. Bart Ehrman, by how own admission, began his journey from self-proclaimed evangelical to atheist by first questioning the veracity of Scripture. This video by a Canadian…

I’ve always marveled at how Christ precisely fulfills the Old Testament Jewish feast days. Consider . . . 1) Passover (Leviticus 23:5) – Pointed to the Messiah as our Passover lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7) whose blood would be shed for our sins. Jesus was crucified on the day of preparation…

Lactantius, writing early in the 4th century after Constantine had assumed power and the persecutions were over, noted in Book 2 of his Divine Institutes that the church was empowered over the demonic. In chapter XVI of Book 2, Lactantius writes concerning demonic entities, “They (the demonic) do indeed injure,…

The false prediction of the rapture occurring on September 23, 2025 was tragically popularized by more-than-a-few evangelical Christians who acted foolishly (watch the sad video at the bottom). A South African pastor’s apocalyptic prophecy sparked widespread panic and ridicule across social media, as many Christians braced for the Rapture to…

Given the state of public education, I suspect many young people have no idea who the Marquis de Sade is. (The word “sadism” derives from his name.) He was the first person in modern times to write openly about abortion and affirm it. As Davidson notes in Pagan America, Sade’s…

There is an interesting article here entitled “Engineers For The Gospel.” It’s worth reading in entirety. Engineers tend to make good apologists. They think logically, are practical and deal with certainty. They can self-teach new things. They know what they believe and why they believe it. They know that ideas…
