Apologetics

How Could a Loving God Send Anyone to Hell?

By Filings on Fri, 10/10/25
Body

“To understand the doctrine, we first need to ask if we believe in retributive justice. In other words, do we, as people who claim to be loving, believe that people guilty of horrifying, sickening acts of evil need to face punishment for what they have done? Or should Stalin, Hitler, and Pol Pot simply have been sent to reformatories to improve their behaviour?” - David de Bruyn

“How Could a Good and Powerful God Allow Suffering in the World?”

By Filings on Thu, 10/02/25
Body

“…our objector has just revealed that he expects or wishes the world to be a morally good place: a place of fairness, kindness, and equity. But wait: why should the world be that way, if God does not exist?” - David de Bruyn

Objections to God’s Existence

By Filings on Thu, 09/18/25
Body

“The objector has already decided what God should be or do in advance. When the world does not look like such a god is operative, the self-fulfilling prophecy is vindicated.” - David de Bruyn

Worldviews and Tragedy

By Filings on Tue, 08/19/25
Body

“Tragedies expose our deepest beliefs about life and the world. Not only do they reveal what those beliefs are, they test whether they are ‘big enough.’” - Breakpoint

By Filings on Thu, 07/03/25

“Gavin Ortlund discusses the Protestant canon with ‪@javierperd2604‬ and ‪@CleavetoAntiquity‬, considering Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox objections, the testimony of church history, and more.” - Truth Unites

Is the Church Full of Hypocrites?

By Filings on Wed, 07/02/25
Body

“Though no Christian achieves the full measure of sanctification in this life, that we all struggle with ongoing sin does not justly yield the verdict of hypocrisy. A hypocrite is someone who does things he claims he does not do.” - RC Sproul

The Next Best Theory of Easter is Still Pretty Weak

By Filings on Wed, 06/18/25
Body

“What we’re going to do is highlight the strength of the historical evidence of the resurrection of Christ by considering an alternative theory—some regard as the best alternative—grave theft plus hallucinations.” - Truth Unites

Apologetics Doesn’t Have to Be Argumentative – Review: ‘Why I’m Still a Christian’ by Justin Brierley

By Filings on Thu, 06/05/25
Body

“Based on two decades of interviewing skeptics and Christian apologists, Brierley offers an autobiographical account of continued faith in the face of the strongest arguments against Christianity.” - TGC

'Apologetics is useless' and other lies

By Filings on Tue, 05/27/25
Body

“Christian apologetics seems to be more of a hot potato than ever. And I’m talking just within the church.” - Robin Schumacher
