Just War Theory and the Isreal-Hamas War

Just War Theory and the Isreal-Hamas War

Just war theory I think gives us some guidance on how to talk about the war in Isreal. The war is obviously not something that's simple but Just War Theory is a framework that has existed in Christian theology for a long time that can give us some good guidance. Should Christians support Israel? It's just more complicated than yes or no.

Are Mormons and Jehovah Witness' Christians?

Are Mormons and Jehovah Witness' Christians?

Are Mormons and Jehovah Witness' Christians? Often all we ask to answer this question is simply if someone calls themselves Christian, but like any religion perhaps a better approach is looking at if those religions line up with Christian doctrine. Doctrines are really what separate every religion from another and if JW and LDS don't line up with Christian doctrine it doesn't make sense to say they are really Christian.

The Bible vs the Book of Mormon Part 4: The historical and Archeological proofs of the Bible

Joseph Smith made the claim that the Book of Mormon is the most true book of all of history. If that's true then we should be able to test that theory pretty easily. This specific video explains how well we know that the Bible is accurate from Historical and archeological sources. Can the Book of Mormon compare?

3 Objections to religion that don't make sense

In my experiences on campus' and just dialoging with people in general there are some common objections that I have heard against religion. These are a few of those that I hear all of the time that ultimately just don't even make sense.  

Doesn't Science disprove God?
Doesn't the existence of other religions mean your religion is false?
We can't know any religion is 100% true.

Christianity and politics

This week on the podcast, I want to talk about politics. I’ve never in my lifetime seen our nation so divided.

So this week on the podcast were going to talk about how a Christian should be involved in political discussions and whether we should really be involved in politics at all. Lets get into it.

Despite the Trinity being one of the most central doctrines of the Christian Faith most Christians would not know how to talk about it in a way that is logical and Biblical.
