Upcoming Event: A Helluva Conference - The Defenders Conference

 

DOES HELL LAST FOREVER? IS THE PUNISHMENT QUICK? IS GOD JUST FOR SENDING PEOPLE TO HELL? WILL PEOPLE GET OUT?

These are all questions that our friend, Dr. Kurt Jaros will be exploring at his annual conference this weekend in southern Wisconsin.  If you have friends in the Chicagoland or Milwaukee area, or anywhere in the Midwest, tickets are still available for this 2-night, 5-meal event hosted on the lakeshore of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.  There are attendees registered from states across the Midwest, including student groups from public universities.  It'll be a great weekend for growing in our understanding of the Christian faith, and having answers for some objections to Christianity.

You won't want to miss the apologetic event of the year! Seriously: We can't think of another apologetics ministry like Veracity Hill that brings different view points head-to-head on stage like this with Dr. J moderating and interviewing.

I hope to see you there!

Courage and Godspeed,

3 Reasons Relativism is Untenable

What Are the Laws of Logic? by J.P. Moreland

Flooded with Floods

 

The following vignette was taken from the January/February Solid Ground edition which can be found here.  

In a debate on the existence of God, well-known skeptic Michael Shermer attempted to discredit the biblical account of the flood by citing a similar Sumerian account written much earlier than Moses’ record. Many other cultures have flood stories in their mythologies, Shermer pointed out. Therefore, he reasoned, all are myths.

It made me think of winter in Chicago, where I grew up. When the snow begins to fall, kids might hear their grandfathers talk about the great blizzard of ’67. Some will hear about four days of storm with drifts five feet high. Others will hear of a snowstorm that lasted a week and buried whole houses.

When boys compare their grandfathers’ tales, do you think they conclude that old timers just have a habit of making up yarns about blizzards? I suspect not. They probably figure their grandads ramble on about the blizzard of ’67 because it snowed pretty hard that winter. It did. I was there.

It’s true that virtually every major culture has a flood story in its folklore. It’s curious, isn’t it, that there aren’t any worldwide fire myths or global hailstone tales mixed in. Everybody talks about the flood, though. Maybe the best explanation is that there really was a flood of such magnitude that it kept people talking for thousands of years, even though some of the details got mixed up in the retelling.

I think we owe thanks to Michael Shermer for pointing out all the corroborating evidence for a worldwide flood.

God Bless,
