    Is the Universe a Necessary Being?

    William Lane Craig — 

    Dear Dr. Craig, In the Leibniz' Contingency Argument, the premise 2 states that "If the universe has an explanation of its existence, that explanation is God". This requires that the universe does not exist by the necessity of its own nature, and that anything that could possibly exist outside the universe, could not be the cause of the universe, except for God. The universe is further defined as all of space-time reality, including all matter and energy. You have previously answered the question "Is Part of the Universe a Necessary Being?" (Question #235), essentially by stating that it would be absurd to suggest that a specific set of elementary particles would exist necessarily in all possible worlds, while being the cause of all the other similar particles ...

    How Do We Help Students Resist Our Pornified Culture? Part 1

    Sean McDowell — 

    For the past two decades, I have been speaking, teaching, writing, and counseling students on a variety of issues. Yet in the past few years, no issue has become more critical to address with students than pornography. And yet, sadly, many parents, youth workers, teachers, and other adults simply ignore it ...

    La Vida es un Regalo Divino / Life is a Divine Gift

    Octavio Esqueda — 

    Todos los viernes en la tarde un grupo de estudiantes y maestros de la universidad cristiana en donde trabajo se re繳nen a jugar basquetbol. Hace unas semanas fui a jugar con ellos y lo que parec穩a un d穩a normal se convirti籀 en una experiencia que me ha impactado y que tambi矇n ha tenido el mismo efecto en much穩simas personas. Despu矇s de jugar por m獺s de una hora uno de mis alumnos del doctorado se dispon穩a a irse a su casa cuando le ped穩 que me esperara unos minutos porque necesitaba hablar con 矇l. Primero se sent籀 y despu矇s se recost籀 en el c矇sped a un lado de la cancha en lo que terminaba de jugar mi partido. En cuanto el juego termin籀 fui a hablar con 矇l y en ese momento me di cuanta que estaba inm籀vil, sin respirar y con una apariencia p獺lida y descolorida. Inmediatamente ped穩 ayuda y mientras algunos lo trataban de resucitar yo llam矇 a los servicios de emergencias. Gracias a Dios lograron que respirara otra vez y se lo llevaron a la sala de emergencias de un hospital cercano ...

    Presentism and Past Existence

    William Lane Craig — 

    Dear Dr. Craig I was reading the part of your book "Time and Eternity" that talks about perdurantism, and I have a question over your objection to the Perdurantist's view of personal consciousness. You claim that on Perdurantism, personal continuity from moment to moment is an illusion and that they believe that I was a different person one second ago than I am now, which you claim to be absurd. However, it appears to me that by the same token, we can argue against Presentism, because Presentism states that only the present exists ...

    Why Our Storytelling Nature Provides Evidence for God

    Sean McDowell — 

    I love stories. And I know that you do too. Whether its a captivating novel, an enthralling movie, or an anecdote from a friend, human beings love stories. We love to tell them and we love to listen to them. In fact, we can't resist them. In The Storytelling Animal, Jonathan Gottschall says it beautifully: Human minds yield hopelessly to the suction of story. No matter how hard we concentrate, not matter how deep we dig in our heels, we just cant resist the gravity of alternate worlds.[1] Good public speakers know that the best way to engage an audience is through storytelling. Whenever I feel like Im losing an audience, I quickly tell a story and theyre right back with me! ...

    Metaphors Revealing the Holy Spirit, Part 3: Oil as a Metaphor for the Holy Spirit

    John McKinley — 

    In part three of this series, I will present the third biblical metaphor revealing the Holy Spirit: oil. We need to discern what the metaphor is, and what its meanings are within the biblical and ANE framework. I will be drawing some details from the Dictionary of Biblical Imagery. My goal is to recognize patterns of meaning that may be intended to expand our understanding of the Holy Spirits presence and action in subtle ways hinted at through metaphors.

    The Resurrection Answers Three Big Questions

    Sean McDowell — 

    The resurrection of Jesus Christ is either one of the most wicked, vicious, heartless hoaxes ever foisted on the minds of human beingsor it is the most remarkable fact of history. My father has often shared these words to me in person, and hes written them in his books. The older I get, the more I realize theyre unmistakably true. Theres no middle ground with the resurrection of Jesus. Either it is a colossal fabrication or the most important event in history ...

    Why Does God Exist?

    William Lane Craig — 

    Dear Dr. Craig, I am currently a high school student extremely interested in both philosophy and theology. My question is one that has puzzled me for a long time, and I believe that if there is anyone who could explain the answer in an understandable way, that person would be you. To be clear, I am a Christian and affirm the existence of God. In a theistic view, why does God exist? Did He choose to exist, and to have the attributes that He does? For example, did He choose to exist in a Trinitarian form? ...

    Can I Get A Witness?

    Sean McDowell — 

    ... If the bones of Jesus were found, then Christianity would be false. Paul said, If Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins (1 Corinthians 15:17, NASB). Some religions may make untestable claims about reality, but Christianity makes claims about real events in history that can be tested. Lets put it to the test ...

    The Culture of Complaint: Moving from Complaining to Gratitude

    Karin Stetina — 

    This past fall a friend shared an article from the New York Times entitled The Microcomplaint: Nothing Too Small to Complain 51蹤獲. It was amusing to read about all the silly complaints that celebrities tweeted to the world. Everything from the misery of only decaf coffee being available to what the writer deemed a complaintbrag of not being able to buy a Persian rug with cherub imagery. This habit, however, does not appear to be limited to celebrities. Cruise ship directors have received equally amusing complaints. For example, one passenger reported that the sea was too loud while another passenger grumbled about there being no celebrities on the Celebrity Cruise ship. In the past complaining was something often reserved for private ears. Today, however, it is not only acceptable to publically complain about the littlest inconvenience, it is often encouraged. It has even been identified as a communication style, particularly of Americans, who frequently see themselves as victims. Are Christians exempt from microcomplaining or are we part of the culture of complaint? What does Scripture have to say about complaining? ...

    Struggling with the Ontological Argument

    William Lane Craig — 

    Question I work at an aerospace firm, and I always assumed that if I were to be convinced of God's existence, it would probably be by something like the teleological argument. The appearance of design in the universe itself and so many things therein is truly intriguing, but has never been enough to persuade me. I understand why theists find it compelling, but I currently still find the counter case sufficiently compelling to remain unpersuaded ...
