Real Seekers

This is a follow up to the S&S show we did on the issue of the "subsumability" of the Resurrection of Jesus.  In this eisode we focus on another of the three criteria for establishing a proper context charged with religious significance is present (the miracle event must be; i) sufficiently attached to the religion/"Christianity proper", ii) Serve to attest the truth of the religion/"Chri...

Assuming one could prove that a miraculous Resurrection of Jesus did in fact take place 2000+ years ago, would that necessarily imply that Christianity is true or could other religions "subsume" such miracles as proof for their truth; later religions like the Bahai faith or the Jehovah's Witnesses might want to lay claim that the Resurrection was proof of the truth of their religions not for Chris...

In this episode, David Johnson provides his argument that the God of the Bible, if true, would be evil.

It was a couple months ago that I had the privilege of interviewing my two Conservative/Republican Christian friends, Dr. Tony Costa and Teddi Pappas, speaking about politics through the lens of Christianity.  Now, Dr. Linda Seger joins me to discuss politics and Christianity from the other side other side of the political spectrum as a Democrat and Joe Biden supporter.  We discuss issue...

This show is part of a series of 5-6 shows on S&S, I was asked to debate the famous internet Atheist Vaal on the issue of Moral Ontology. Enjoy!

Alright, well this one really was a special treat for me; I've been a fan of Dr. Instone-Brewer since 2011 when he presented at the very first Unbelievable? conference.  In this episode we look at Jesus and the NT in the light of Second Temple Judaism and the Rabbinic literature.  As Rabbinic and NT scholar, David is well positioned to answer my questions on this front. Enjoy the show :)

David Smalley, though under the weather, pulls no punches in this great discussion on the essential Christian doctrine of the Penal Substitution and Jesus' atoning sacrifice on the Cross for our sins.  Everything from Bible errors to the doctrine of Hell are addressed along the way. Enjoy!

In this episode we assess what religions are and how one might explain the rise of the various religions across the world- why are humans so seemingly inherently religious.  Towards the end we go back and forth on the Gospel Message in terms of Jesus Incarnation and Death for our sins.

Fellow Christian apologist Marvin Wallace reached out to ask me to post up his long-awaited debate with David J.- the Atheist host of S&S.  It's been a long time coming and I can say the show doesn't disappoint!

In this episode I discuss the Skeptical argument from a Biblical error in the creation account of Genesis.  In doing so I debate with an Atheist, David J. the genre of Genesis being "Mytho-History" and discuss some of the newest scientific findings about our Solar System from the 21st century space probe missions.

I (Dale) was a guest on David Smalley's Dogma Debates Podcast to discuss the important Abraham Test issue and whether it is moral to be willing to sacrifice your child if you knew that a Morally Perfect God told you to do so.  After some initial small talk on some side issues, we get straight into assessing this question philosophically in the light of the 3 main sources of Moral disagreement...

This was not my finest hour, I was not expecting David to be as emotional as he was in this show.  In this old episode of S&S, David Johnson (the Atheist) tries to lay out his case for why he thinks the Bible (or at least some of its passages) is/are "atrocious".  The ambiguity of the Creation account in Genesis and the immorality of slavery being allowed and Christian exclusivity ar...

It is finally here!  Intelligent Design (ID) experts Dr. Michael Behe and Marvin Wallace join me to correct the record about the ID vs. Evolution debate.  The very latest in the scientific evidence, experiments and interpretations is discussed in order to provide the truth over and against much of the "fake news" misinformation that surrounds the scientific validity of the "ID" movement...

In this special episode, Dr. Gary Habermas, fresh from completing the Rough draft of his 5000 page+ magnum opus on the evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus, joins me to discuss the very latest research on the evidence from the early Christian Creeds that pre-date the NT writings and in some cases probably go back to the very year Christ was crucified!  

This was the continuation of the Round Table we did with S&S hosts (David Johnson and myself) & 4A hosts (Andrew Knight and Matthew Taylor) where we reviewed David and Andrew's performance in their discussion with Justin Brierly and Randal Rauser on the Unbelievable podcast discussing their books.

This was the very first Round Table we ever did, S&S hosts (David Johnson and myself) & 4A hosts (Andrew Knight and Matthew Taylor) review David and Andrew's performance in their discussion with Justin Brierly and Randal Rauser on the Unbelievable podcast discussing their books.

In this special episode, I'm joined by Christian apologist Dr. Tony Costa and Christian defense attorney Teddi Pappas to discuss religion and politics.  The show revolves around three main areas of focus in relation to the current political landscape increasingly dominated by cultural Marxist ideology; i) the value of the Gospel truth, ii) Christian morality, and iii) the Christian's attitude...

Randal Rauser debates Atheist David J. on the topic of progressive revelation in the Bible.

This is the second episode I've done with Dr. Dale Tuggy on the Trinity.  Having covered the philosophical/logical coherence of Trinity Monotheism in the last episode, we now turn to look and see if Trinitarianism and the Trinity Monotheism model in particular is consistent with the biblical material in the New Testament.

In this episode, I continue to assess the warrant for the first of the three premises of our Cosmological argument, this time providing a second Philosophical Argument proving the Universe began to exist by showing that forming an actual infinite via successive addition is impossible.

In this episode, I begin my new solo series on the evidences/arguments in favour and against the existence of God.  I start with the Cosmological Argument (aka. the Argument from the Contingency of the Universe) as we assess the warrant for the first of the three premises of the argument. 

3 Skeptics, David, Andrew and Matt as well as listeners grill Dale the Christian on various issues.

Fellow Christian, Chris Date, joins me in this episode to discuss the merits of Calvinism and to compare/contrast the Doctrines of "Meticulous Divine Providence" & Predestination/Election within the Calvinist (Compatibilist) vs. Molinist (Libertarian Freewill) perspectives. Part 2 finishes off our conversation on Calvinism by looking at the soteriological  doctrines of Predestination and...

Fellow Christian, Chris Date, joins me in this episode to discuss the merits of Calvinism and to compare/contrast the Doctrines of "Meticulous Divine Providence" & Predestination/Election within the Calvinist (Compatibilist) vs. Molinist (Libertarian Freewill) perspectives.   Part 1 features our discussion on meticulous divine providence and how the 5 aspects of "freedom" (ability conditi...

Was Abraham justified in placing his faith in God and obeying God's command to kill Isaac?  I answer yes he was and further I outline some of the relevant factors that account for moral disagreement on this issue; i) Factual differences, ii) Disagreement on the nature of the violated moral principle/s & iii) Differences on the Moral Hierarchy.
