Could The Next Generation Of Big Apologists Be Mainly Evolutionary Creationists?

Ravi Zacaharias has recently separated from his body and has gone on to be with The Lord (2 Corinthians 2:1-8). He lived from 1946-2020. His impact in apologetics ministry has been immense, and he has joined his fellow all-star apologists Norman Geisler (passed July 1 2019), Nabeel Qureshi (passed September 16th 2017), and R.C Sproul (passed December 14th 2017). With so many major Christian Apologists going to paradise (Luke 23:43) in ...

Addressing Ed Dingess’ Critique Of My Prevenient Grace Article

I recently was contacted by a theologian named Ed Dingess who runs the website www.reformedreasons.com letting me know that he had wrote a refutation of my Maximally Great Argument against Calvinism, and if youve been following this blog for more than a week, youll remember how I dealt with those. It turns out that he also wrote a response to my blog post What Biblical Evidence Is There For Prevenient Grace? in which I make the biblical case for Gods universal mission to bring all...

BOOK REVIEW: “Philosophical Foundations For A Christian Worldview”

Philosophical Foundations For A Christian Worldview is no doubt William Lane Craig and J.P Morelands magnum opus. This book gives a thorough treatment on a variety of different subjects that one can think of and defends philosophically the crucial tenets of Christian theology; Substance Dualism, The Existence of God, the logical coherence of the doctrine of The Trinity, the logical coherence of the incarnation of God in Christ, it refutes the logical and evidential versions of the...

The Maximally Great Argument Against Calvinism – Responding To Ed Dingess’ Follow Up Response

I wrote a blog post a couple of years ago titled The Maximally Great Argument For Arminianism which attempted to show that Gods universal salvific will logically flows out of Perfect Being Theology. The argument was formulated on my part out of frustration to convince Calvinists that God loves all people, wants all people to be saved, and desires salvation for all people. It doesnt matter how many passages you point to that assert this in plain English (and plain Greek for that...

Eternal Universe Models – Going For The Philosophical Jugular

The Kalam Cosmological Argument is an argument that I have spent many years studying and debating, and many articles on this website defend the premises against rebuttals from atheists (Click here if you want to check them out). Recently, on The Prosthylitize Or Apostatize Podcast, I was interviewed by David Pallmann and David Russel about the Leibnitzian and Cosmological Arguments (click here to listen). That episode was supposed to be a debate between me and David Johnson of The...

Ed Dingess Responds To The Maximally Great Argument against Calvinism

It seems that more Calvinists are becoming aware of my Maximally Great Argument Against Calvinism. The argument was formulated on my part out of a frustration to convince Calvinists that God loves all people, wants all people to be saved, and desires salvation for all people. It doesnt matter how many passages you point to that assert this in plain English (and plain Greek for that matter), they will find a way to twist them all to mean something other than what any objective...

Jim Boucher Responds To The Maximally Great Argument Against Calvinism

The Maximally Great Argument Against Calvinism (here on abbreviated a MGAAC) attempts to show that the Arminian tenet of Gods universal salvific will and unlimited atonement logically flow out of Perfect Being Theology (i.e that God is a Maximally Great Being). I first published a blog post in 2017 defending the argument, but no one really even acknowledged that it existed until recently. I actually wanted some Calvinists to interact with it so that I could tell whether or not the...

The Book Of Job – How Divine Council Theology Provides A Plausible Solution

The book of Job has long puzzled many Bible readers. The entire story appears to make it look as though God allows Satan to torment Job with every manner of hardship just to prove to Satan that he was wrong in saying that the only reason Job worships God is because God blessed him with a happy life. In other words, it looks as though Gods only reason for letting Satan afflict Job was to win a bet. Skeptics of The Bible argue that it is morally objectionable to let Satan do such a...

The Kinds Of Videos You Can Expect Cerebral Faith To Make

In my previous blog post, I talked about how YouTube and Podcasts seem to be the future for those who have a message to get out, while the way of the blogger seems to be dying out. I mentioned how, to get a PC optimized for video editing (i.e not crash), I would need some help from those of you who enjoy and benefit from the content I put out. Click here to see how you can help by becoming a Cerebral Faith patron.

But you may be wondering exactly what kind of videos you can expect to see...

The Future Of Cerebral Faith

If youve followed this ministry long enough, youll know it started out as just a small blog on Blogspot back in 2012. For the past decade, I have been passionate about reaching the lost for Christ. Since then, it has grown tremendously. I started out getting 30-40 page views per day, but after many years of promoting my blog on Facebook and Twitter by creating a Facebook page and Twitter account for Cerebral Faith and mass sharing the posts to all the apologetics and theology...
