In my Sunday School class we are currently studying the book of Hebrews. While I was involved in the LDS Church (especially while I was an investigator) the book of Hebrews was often referenced as support for the doctrine of The Melchezidek Priesthood and having earthly high priests serve in this priesthood. Over the past several years my view of what Hebrews is [...]

To our readers, I will be unable to blog for about a week, but I will be back to it after that. We really appreciate your faithful reading of the blog, and we know how irritating it is for a blog to go silent for long periods of time. That is not the case here! [...]

Many non-Christian groups who accept some form of the New Testament - Muslims, Mormons, and Jehovah’s Witnesses – claim that the Christian doctrine of the Trinity is false. One of the arguments often used is that the concept of the Trinity cannot be found in Scripture, so the doctrine cannot be true. This argument, however, will [...]

My response to this article might surprise some of you. The article discusses a recent report which indicates that 37% of evangelicals rejected the claim that Jesus is the only way to heaven. 52% of American Christians agreed that religions other than Christianity can lead to eternal life.

YouTube has an enormous number of videos dedicated to Christianity, atheism, and every other kind of worldview. I want to post some of these videos from time to time and ask you for your response to these videos. The first of these, found below, is from an atheist who raises a handful of issues that [...]
