War of the Worldviews, part 2: Do All Paths Lead to God?

Author: Andy Robbins Unitarianism has become popular in today’s post-modern culture. It is surprising how many people believe that as long as you are sincere, you can believe whatever you choose to believe and still be justified in the end. More surprising still is the number of churchgoers who believe that the spiritual path they have chosen is simply one of the many paths that lead to God. But is that true?

War of the Worldviews, part 3: Did Jesus Rise from the Dead?

War of the Worldviews, part 3: Did Jesus Rise from the Dead?

Author: Andy Robbins In continuing with our current theme of whether or not Jesus Christ’s claims of being God and the only way to salvation can be validated, we have to consider whether or not He truly rose from the dead. Since Jesus predicted that He would rise from the dead, His whole life and ministry would prove to be a fraud if He was not able to then do so. In a short post like this I cannot fully explore the mammoth amount of evidence...

“Christians are Intellectual Weaklings”: Response to ‘Religulous’ part 2

“Christians are Intellectual Weaklings”: Response to ‘Religulous’ part 2

Author: Andy Robbins The new movie, Religulous, dramatizes what its creator, Bill Maher, has been saying for years, that religious people are intellectually underdeveloped. In many respects it is understandable how Maher comes to this conclusion, because many people who consider themselves spiritual or religious, including New Agers, do not really know why they believe what they believe, except that it just feels right to them. However, that is...
