Apologetics and Evidence

This conversation seems like it should begin with a discussion on the soul. A disembodied soul is the description for what happens when a person dies and is simply without a physical human body. This state of existence will be the case until the event of the Resurrection of the saints.   In both Cartesian dualism and anthropological hylomorphism schools of thought, the disembodied state of the soul takes place. When we die, our souls leave our bodies. Dualism is the idea that the soul and the body are separate things, and the hylomorphic idea is that a soul and a body are not separate things, but a unity. As in, your soul could not fit into the body of another person. Your soul is essentially custom fit to your body.  What makes this interesting is that there are things that neither school of thought can answer very well, but there are questions that both answer very well. For one, there is a big question concerning dualism, which is about the Resurrection of the dead. For ins...

I think the question above should be divided into two parts. As in, the question assumes too much and makes a type of category mistake from a hasty generalization. The first question should be, “Can a person walk away from his or her salvation?” The second question should be, “Will God ever take away a person’s salvation?”   Can a person walk away from his or her salvation ? The first question, “ Can a person walk away from his or her salvation ?” has been a strong point of contention for hundreds of years. I have heard someone tell me once that “if someone is truly ” saved, they would never walk away from their salvation.” I really liked that because it answered a lot of questions that I had concerning such. The word “ truly ” seemed to settle things in my mind. If one did walk away from Christianity, then it seems that they were never “truly” saved. But the problem is that we see our own family and friends through the years doing exactly this... They had a true, heart and...

Introduction             Since the Beginning of Christian Theology, there has been great confusion, on what seems to be ambiguous, of the doctrine of soteriology. People throughout the centuries have argued, literally to death, on what the Bible speaks of concerning salvation and the nature of grace. It seems hard to argue the meaning of a lot of verses in Scripture, especially in the book of Romans, which seems to explicitly speak of the monergistic side of the nature of grace. Therefore, since we know that the book of Romans seems highly educated on the subject of grace, let’s not waste any more time and delve into the crevices of theology that are found there.                 It seems that most of the theological dialogue that has been going on through the centuries has taken most of its support from the book of Romans. In arguing against Pelagius, A...
