AI and the Image of God: What Does It Mean to be Human?

By Filings on Fri, 07/31/26
Body

“A lot of people are thinking about AI, but I wanted to help people to think biblically about AI, to marshal the resources of the Christian faith and the Christian Bible to help us to think about this.” - TGC

Why All Our Beliefs Involve Faith

By Filings on Thu, 07/30/26
Body

“some Christians… think of faith as the opposite of reason, as a blind leap of faith. But most Christians throughout history, as well as the New Testament, have maintained that faith is simply trusting something on the basis of good reasons and evidence.” - Adam Lloyd Johnson

By Paul Henebury on Thu, 07/30/26

Binning was an astonishing fellow. He died at the age of 26. That’s right, 26! But a perusal of his literary remains shows a maturity of thought and a depth of theological acumen few could rival.

The Bible’s Big Story

By TylerR on Tue, 07/28/26

Christians have different ideas about the bible’s “big story.” What is the true version of this story?

Does God Punish Us for Our Parents’ Sin?

By Filings on Fri, 07/24/26
Body

“We also read in the book of Numbers that the Lord will ‘by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, to the third and the fourth generation’ (Num. 14:18). Yet in Deuteronomy, we read, ‘Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers.’” - Ligonier

Top Ten Errors in The Passion Translation

By Filings on Fri, 07/24/26
Body

“As you’ll see, it’s kind of impossible to choose. We did our best. I should say my guest did his best. He came up with this list. He’s put hours and hours into this. He has the requisite training to make the evaluations that we’re about to make.” - Mark Ward

Why Creation Matters, Part 8: Minor Prophets

By DOlinger on Fri, 07/24/26

Read the series.

What we call the Minor Prophets the Hebrew canon calls The Book of the Twelve, a single book in the Latter Prophets with Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. Within this book I’d like to focus on 3 Creation passages, 1 each in Amos, Jonah, and Zechariah.

Amos 5.8

The Dying Thief’s Remarkable Theology

By Filings on Thu, 07/23/26
Body

“Unlike Thomas, who believed after seeing the risen Lord of glory, this thief believed while looking upon a man hanging on a cross under God’s curse (Gal. 3:13). Many witnessed Jesus raise the dead and still refused to believe. This man watched Jesus die and believed He was a King with a kingdom.” - Ref21

Tisha B’Av refers to the ninth day of the Hebrew month of Av. The very name portends fasting and grief. It is the date on which Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon destroyed Solomon’s Temple in 586 B.C.

Protecting the State from the Church

By Filings on Wed, 07/22/26
Body

“Why did Luther want to protect the state from being ruled by the church? A major reason was that exercising political power distorts the message of the church. Governing society must be done by applying power and forcing people to comply with the law. When a church takes on this function, it becomes fixated on the Law and neglects the Gospel” - Gene Veith
