Another Apologetics AMA on Discord (June 22, 2021)
After a 10-day vaca, Joel Settecase jumped back onto Discord for another Apologetics AMA. Listen in and get inspiration for how you’d answer these questions. We’re here to help you lead your family in defending the Christian message.
Get all three parts of the AMA below.
Part 1:
Questions answered:
What denomination is Joel?
What is the meaning of life?
Do all people have an intrinsic morality? And if so, why don't cultures agree on right and wrong?
Will the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches ever get back together?
Part 2:
Questions answered:
Why do theists credit "miracles" to God, but blame bad events and catastrophes on "free will?" [Joel's response to the free will defense answer to the problem of evil].
If Jesus is the Old Testament God, and that God commanded Israel to kill the Amalekite children, then how can Jesus be good?
Why is Christianity declining in the West?
If Jesus said "The Father is greater than I," then how can they be equals? [A challenge to the Doctrine of the Trinity.]
Part 3:
Questions answered:
What is the best hermeneutic system for interpreting the Bible?
Is it really possible to interpret the Bible in a certain way (like Jesus)? Doesn't every heretical sect use the same Bible?
What do you think of newer Bible translations, and why do some pastors only use the KJV?
[N.B. The next two questions may be inappropriate for younger listeners. Parental discretion is advised. Appropriate content resumes at about the 30-minute mark.]
Does Leviticus 18:22 prohibit all relationships except for lesbian ones?
Would a same-sex relationship in which the partners weren't physically intimate still be sinful?
Did evil exist before the Fall of Man? Before creation?
