Contending for the Faith

Faith Is Strengthened by Challenge

May 1, 2008

While a student at UCLA 60 years ago, I carefully read everything I could find written by atheists and skeptics against the Bible and Christ. Why? I wanted to know their best arguments, the better to refute them. I still keep track of the latest atheist thinking. I have never...Read more

Questions and Responses

Question: I must press you to tell me, how the blood of Jesus is not “God blood.” If He is fully God and fully man, then how could the blood generated by such a union be limited to only one half of it?

Question: I complained to Jack Van Impe that on TV he appears to embrace Catholicism....He says that when he heard hatred dripping from the lips of those who criticize Catholics, he decided just to preach the truth. What can I do?

Question: Is Paul a tare, planted by Lucifer (God’s perfect flaw) who blinded Saul on the road to Damascus, parading as Jesus to deceive Paul? I’m convinced Paul is a tare, and many will follow him instead of following Jesus.

Question: What will be your main [debate] points in opposing atheism/humanism?

Question: Where do you get the courage to expose what you believe are false teachings...?

In Defense of the Faith

Question: A frequent reaction to your book The Seduction of Christianity is that it causes division within the Body. What is your response to this criticism?

Question: Sam Harris argues, "The idea that the Bible is a perfect guide to morality is simply astounding...." How can you defend this?

Question: Sam Harris writes, "Every devout Muslim has the same reasons for being a Muslim that you have for being a Christian...." How can one tell which "holy book" is true and which is not? Isn't it one man's word against another man's?

Question: I’ve heard it said that 2 Peter 3:10-12 gives proof that the Bible is scientifically infallible, contrary to what the Roman Catholic Church teaches. All I want to know is how those verses give that proof.
