The Council of Nicaea – Where much dialogue took place
I frequent a coffee shop in my area and when you go to the same coffee shop often, you get to know the servers. I had some dialogue with this one server. I knew that he was an Evangelical and had his head on straight regarding a lot of issues but last night we had a dialogue which raised some concerns.
Dr. Bart Ehrman
A few days ago, I was in a local coffee shop and saw a man who looked almost identical to the anti-Christian Biblical Scholar Bart Ehrman. I went over to talk to him. He had no idea who Bart Ehrman was but did say he would google him when he got home.
The Pharisees – The Enemies of God
When you engage in apologetics whether online or in person, you need to know the caliber of the enemy you’re dealing with. This has a major effect on how you then communicate. Do you ask more questions? How much charity do you use? What arguments do you use? Even that last question is answered by whom you’re debating.
Adam and Eve
Have you heard of the Emergent Church? It’s an ultra-liberal circle within Protestantism. In 2008, a young Evangelical woman named Kristen Scharold wrote the following in First Things regarding the Emergent Church movement:
And it should not be so counterintuitive that young evangelicals such as myself prefer theology rooted in tradition to a spirituality waffling in relativism. We want a story with a climax so profound that it leaves us worshiping God, not reducing him to fit into our cultural paradigm.
British author and historian Tom Holland
Back in September, British writer Tom Holland wrote an article about how he changed his mind on Christianity. He specifically stated that his morality was not Greek or Roman but Christian. Holland is an atheist and has been for most of his life.

It’s been one week since American citizens elected Donald Trump to be their next President and therefore politics is on everyones mind. This blog is not political but I need to share a political experience that I once had.
How To Do Apologetics: Making the Case for Our Faith by Patrick Madrid
Before I begin the review of this book, I just want to thank our veterans who fought in both World Wars. There are no veterans alive from the First World War but some Second World War veterans are still alive. I can only imagine the bravery it took for American, British, and Canadian soldiers to storm the beaches of Normandy in June 1944. I also believe that if they could have seen what our nations have become, they would not have ran 20 yards up those beaches. Something tells me that when they went into battle, they weren’t fighting for sodomy, pride parades, homosexual “marriage”, transgenderism, bathroom bills, abortion on demand, rampant pornography or any of the other abominations that have infected our civilization in recent years.
St. Thomas Aquinas – The Angelic Doctor
If you’ve ever talked to a recent graduate from High School, you’ll realize how intellectually bankrupt our society has become. Our education is completely shot. Pretty much everything that I’ve learned, has come from reading after University. The enemies of God are having a tremendous amount of success promoting evil since the current generation doesn’t know how to think critically.
Matthew Vines is getting pretty cocky these days. I found this talk of his online. It’s his last major talk and it sounds like it was given not too long after the Orlando shooting.
As all of my readers on this blog know, I’m a huge fan of Church history. I study Church history because I think it’s a very useful tool when engaging the enemies of God.
Several years ago, when Michael Coren used to be a Christian, he had a scuffle with the anti-Christian, sodomy promoting Rabbi Shmuley Boteach over the issue of Pius XII. All Boteach could do was slander the Pope and then said to Coren: “Read Hitler’s Pope!”
