A worldview represents one’s understanding of reality. This understanding can either correspond to reality or deny reality. False worldviews have an inevitable tendency to either collide (sometimes violently) with other worldviews, or implode. Some of the major conflicts in our culture represent worldviews in collision: i.e., between naturalism and supernaturalism,…

I was asked to respond to two posts by Scott Bignell. Here is the first post. The first thing I would note is that the author, Scott Bignell, claims to have been “studying Judeo-Christian Origins” as a “passionate hobby”. Scott provides nothing on his background so the reader literally has…

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…

by Bob Pratico Submitted July 09, 2022 at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary In my experience many Southern Baptist churches, apparently fearful of an “overreaction”, observe Pentecost Sunday with deafening silence refusing to even acknowledge the momentous significance of that historic day on the liturgical calendar. Some seem to fear the…

Dr. Carrier’s post is here. I was asked to respond to Dr. Carrier’s post on “Why Did Mark Invent An Empty Tomb?” Before I comment on his post, I must take exception to his claim on his “about” page for his “ethical worldview of secular naturalism” (emphasis is mine.) Ethical…

05 May 2025 So far, we have considered 19 known facts surrounding the empty tomb of Jesus that was found on the Sunday after Passover sometime between 30-33 AD. Most skeptics should should be able to agree with these facts. While the resurrection is not the only theory that can…

04 May 2025 As noted in part 1, the tomb of Jesus Christ was found empty on Sunday morning. On that fact, there is no disagreement. Everyone present agreed that the tomb was empty: the Romans who executed Jesus, the Jewish Sanhedrin who condemned him, the entire populace of Jerusalem…
