Apologetics and Evidence

There are several beliefs concerning the millennium. Questions are asked such as, “Where do the Second Coming and the millennium fit together?” and “What does the Bible say about this event?” Let’s take a look at these three views and try to gain a better understanding on the millennium spoken of in Revelation 20:1-10. The Millennium             “I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or his image and had not received his mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and  reigned with Christ a thousand years ” (NIV Rev. 20:4). The question that is in sight is based on this verse and that which surrounds it is pretty much, “When will Christ return according to the millennium?”  Postmillennialism    ...

I have been to several predominant Buddhist countries, I live in a place with Buddhism being a predominant worldview (with a large Dharma center being less than a 40 minute drive from my home), and so this compels me to help people to see Buddhism for what it is. Many people like to say that Buddhism is not a religion , because of the negative connotations that the word “ religion ” has with it today for several ridiculous and poor reasons, but also because many emphasize the philosophical nature of Buddhism so much that it blinds some from seeing it for what it really is, and not seeing how it falls short of offering hope to the world.      Consider with me, if you will, the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism.

The third noble truth is that if we release the attachment to people, places, animals, and things , then ...

Mormon doctrine is logically impossible. It is no secret that Mormon doctrine teaches that God was once a man on another planet in the distant past, and because he was such a good man on his planet, he was exalted to being the God of his own planet, which we call Earth. [1] This seems to lead to the question… How many gods are there in Mormonism ? It seems safe to assume that this man, who became God was not the only person on his planet. The question is, how many other men became Gods of their own planets from this same planet? Further, who was the god of the planet that populated that planet? What planet did he come from? Etc.? Etc.? Do you see the issue here? In order for Mormonism to work, it requires an infinite past. There must be infinite Gods, there must be infinite planets, and there must be an infinite amount of past time.  I want to make this as simple as possible, but even still, it will take some thinking . I can assure that if you think about thi...
