Answering the “God of the Gaps” Argument

Last updated on: October 28, 2017 at 2:47 pm By Jordan Cooper

In the second video in my recent Youtube series answering the questions of skeptics, I address the God of the gaps argument. I argue that such an argument assumes a view of God which is inconsistent with the Christian faith. Here is the video Read more

Bravehearts and Blackhearts? Milo Yiannopoulos’s and Jordan Peterson’s Divine Gambits

Last updated on: October 27, 2017 at 6:35 am By nathanrinne

Prefatory material: My views alone to be sure. Why give this man any time at all? As my Senator Al Franken puts it, because of “lies and the lying liars who tell them.” Milo is no angel to be sure, but for persons even relatively informed about him the pathetic hit pieces get old (a good response on that one, even if the author is wrong about the Reformation). +++ Post by Nathan Rinne I’ll admit it. Men like... Read more

Responding to the Shellfish Argument

Last updated on: October 26, 2017 at 12:47 pm By Jordan Cooper

One of the most common retorts from skeptics of the Christian faith (especially with those who are unacquainted with basic Christian theology) is that Christians are inconsistent for following the Bible’s stance on sexual ethics and other matters while simultaneously rejecting food restrictions which are apparent in Leviticus, such as the eating of shellfish. I have released a new Youtube video which addresses this question. Check it out here. Read more

Why I Do Not Support Mark Driscoll’s Place on Patheos Evangelical

Last updated on: October 20, 2017 at 11:32 am By Jordan Cooper

The Washington Post recently posted an article on Mark Driscoll’s place on this site, questioning why Patheos is giving a platform to someone who is a “disgraced and misogynistic pastor.” The article can be found here. This article outlines some of the problems which have been raised with regard to Driscoll, and focuses especially on his comments about women. The problems with Driscoll are numerous, including financial scandals, plagiarism, and rejection of ecclesiastical authority. These various issues have resulted in... Read more

Jesus Became Sin – But Did He Also Become a Sinner According to God’s Law?

Last updated on: October 13, 2017 at 6:27 am By nathanrinne

+++ Post by Nathan Rinne. Among professed confessional Lutherans, this, it appears to me, has become an issue. At the end of my controversial review of Concordia Publishing House’s “So-Called 3rd Use of the Law” book, The Necessary Distinction[i], I made the following statement: “I know the folks at CPH need to eat, but that is not best done by promoting books that say, for example, that Jesus was justly accused by God’s law (157).” Here, specifically, is what I...
