I am from India, Nagaland - what both of you discussed on Caste and Dalit is very true. That's why they have "Dalit theology" along with other margins theology. By the Grace of God Nagaland and other states like Mizoram and Meghalaya are not so disturbed by the govt. But the rest of the states Christianity is in persecution. Pray for India. Apologetics is really in need in India.
I like the idea of "contrast is the mother of clarity". I also like to consider: what might be the 7 best questions - to ask yourself, and others, - why you believe what you believe regardless of the religion that the person says they put their faith in. Such a list challenges all equally. What could these 7 questions be? The alpha course may cover similar generic investigations but mostly from the Christian perspective. Example question would be How does your belief system (of love, faith and truth) deal with the origin of sin in the world and how it is to be dealt with? (in a just but loving way). Two versions of the question here. Thank you
I know that these podcasts are also designed as radio programs but can you guys EDIT out the "music and the breaks". 2 reasons: it's disruptive and it interrupts the flow of what the guest (Doug) is saying.
Sikhism is a criminally unacknowledged religion. I actually was raised in a nominal Sikh family and now am Christian. Would love to discuss anything you have in mind! I’m planning on publishing some writings on Sikhi.
🇹🇹 Please, please, please here where I live there are a lot of Hindus and I can't find any resources to learn how to evangelise. Can you provide any 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
What we need to know about ourselves from God's Word and our only hope of being justified before a Holy and righteous God: [WHY WE HAVE NO HOPE IN OURSELVES: Mk. 7:20-23 And he (Jesus) said, That which comes out of the man, that defiles the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things (sins) come from within, and defile the man.] [WHY WE NEED A SAVIOR: Rom. 3:10-28 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that does good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes. Now we know that what things so ever the law says, it says to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his (God's) sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ to all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believes in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Joh. 3:16 For God so loved the world (us), that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Joh. 14:6 Jesus said to him (us), I am the way (salvation), the truth (assurance), and the life (eternal): no man comes to (God) the Father, but by me (God the Son). Rom. 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:]
Only God can produce good fruit: Every breath a person takes while they are separated from God is a curse to them. A corrupt tree, which is a person without God, _cannot_ bear good fruit in the eyes of God no matter what their “good works” may seem like to others. Even their prayers are an abomination to Him (John 9:31, Proverbs 28:9). Why can only a good tree produce good works? Because it is not the man who produces those good works, but God’s Spirit and His power that works through them, just as His power and spirit works through Jesus (John 14:10). All who belong to God will cease from their own ways and works-instead, they will pick up the cross daily; for the works we will see in those of God are done by God alone (John 3:21).
Just because someone denies the trinity, it does not mean that they believe Christ is not God. Jesus is God because He is the True Begotten Son of God, Divinity begets Divinity, just as humanity begets humanity. And “it pleased the Father that in Him [Christ] should all fullness dwell.” Colossians 1:19. This is why the Father is the head and source of all. 1 Cor 11:3; John 5:26. The very fact that He is the head and source of all, proves that the trinity is not true.

You guys are a major blessing in these end times.
I used Doug's books in my dissertation, especially his book "Christian Apologetics" - excellent!
That's wonderful!

Thanks for your demonstration of biblical truth
🙏🙏🙏
I love Frank Turek!
God bless you!
We need the intellectual honesty underscored by the principle of non-contradiction. Groothuis brings that squarely into focus.
Love these topics. We must arm ourselves to stand firm and speak the one and only living Almighty God’s truth. 🙏🏼 thank you
Amen!

I recommend Christopher Wright the author of the Old Testament in 7 Sentences

Agree the breaks and the cheesy music adds nothing.
Very interesting thank you
🙏🙏🙏
He seriously looks like Andy Serkis!
I wish Sikhism was one of the 7 religions he discussed. Sikhs are like the nicest people ever
😭😭😭

Noone is good but God 🙏
But let us pray for them to ❤

How is his book Christian apologetics fair with evidence that demands a verdict? Are they both similar?

I and the Father are one - Jesus God is a Spirit in three persons
When Jesus says, I and my Father are one, I believe it; and when He says, My Father is greater than I, I believe that too.
@@watchmanofthenight2700 Yes I believe that too but I believe Jesus is God this person doesn’t he denies the Trinity or Godhead
Just because someone denies the trinity, it does not mean that they believe Christ is not God.
Jesus is God because He is the True Begotten Son of God, Divinity begets Divinity, just as humanity begets humanity.
And “it pleased the Father that in Him [Christ] should all fullness dwell.” Colossians 1:19.
This is why the Father is the head and source of all. 1 Cor 11:3; John 5:26.
The very fact that He is the head and source of all, proves that the trinity is not true.
Atheism is a philosophical concept that nobody actually practices, and you'll never find greater religious zeal than in the devout atheist.
The worldview of most atheists I've met seems to be "There is no God and I hate him."

Christian denominations in 7 sentences please.
Great idea!!
Each religion is the true religion and all the others are false.
