On the Evils of Abortion and the New NY State Law

Last updated on: January 24, 2019 at 10:55 am By Jordan Cooper

On today’s program I discussed the passing of a recent law in NY state which allows for abortions after the period of 24 weeks. This led to a discussion of abortion in general, as well as the reason why we should put aside political differences as Christians in order to fight together against this evil. Here is the program Read more

Is Today’s Christianity Increasingly Filtered Through Marxist Categories?

Last updated on: January 24, 2019 at 6:17 am By nathanrinne

+++ Post by Nathan Rinne Have you seen the video below or heard about it? Is it an overreaction? Grossly unfair? Or, maybe, just maybe, is there something important to it? (O’Sullivan’s First Law?) This post is nothing other than a reflection not on that video per se, but rather on the title of this post, primarily with the help of a couple acquaintances from a Facebook group. It, I think, is very meaty but also very digestible (understandable). I... Read more

On the Objectivity of Beauty

Last updated on: January 15, 2019 at 7:56 am By Jordan Cooper

In this video, I answer the question: “Is beauty objective or subjective?” I conclude that there has to be some kind of objectivity in our understanding of beauty and the arts against various forms of aesthetic relativism. This is the beginning of a series of videos on the topic of beauty, in which I explore both theological and philosophical notions connected to it. Here is the video. Read more

Where Descartes Derailed Philosophy

Last updated on: January 11, 2019 at 10:58 am By Jordan Cooper

In this recent video titled Dualism and Descartes and Classical Philosophy, I give a brief explanation of the problem in Descartes understanding of both the natural world and of the human person. He leads to the later materialism which gained prominence in the enlightenment and still haunts the academic world today. Here is the video. Read more

The Biggest Radical Lutheran Straw Man of Them All

Last updated on: January 9, 2019 at 6:00 am By nathanrinne

+++ Post by Nathan Rinne There is probably no heresy as dangerous in the church today as that of Radical Lutheranism. The reason is that Radical Lutheranism, like no other heresy, seems to get so very close to the heart of the Gospel message of Jesus’ free forgiveness, life and salvation for sinners. It is, however, all a lie. A horrible, insidious lie which has captured even many a good theologian (very painful detail — start with part 1). And... Read more

A Critique of Jordan Peterson’s View of God and Christianity

Last updated on: January 7, 2019 at 1:38 pm By Jordan Cooper

Jordan Peterson is often asked questions about both God in general and Christianity in particular. For some, he is a kind of pseudo-Christian thinker, and even a theologian of sorts. These notions are, however, thoroughly mistaken. In this video and podcast, I examine Peterson’s statements about God’s existence, belief, and the divinity of Christ. You can find the video of the discussion here. The audio podcast is here. Read more
