This week's Cerebral Faith Podcast continues a series that started last week. I will be preaching through Jesus' Sermon On The Mount in Matthew 5. This week, we will look at what Jesus meant when he said he "hasn't come to abolish the law and the prophets, but to fulfill them". What does Jesus mean by this phrase? Are we still bound to the 613 laws of Torah? Doesn't this contradict the equally ins...

This week's Cerebral Faith Live marks the beginning of a new series. I will be going through Jesus' Sermon On The Mount in Matthew 5. Much ink has been spilled in expositing this sermon. It is three chapters of God incarnate preaching to us about kingdom living. As such, it is of importance for any Christian to spend time in meditating on what our Lord is saying to us. Since coming back from burno...

"The New Testament is the foundational document of the Christian faith. But how much do we really know about these 27 books? To whom were they written, and what were they trying to say?  All too often, we treat the Bible with sacred reverence, without examining its historical context. But in doing so, we risk losing its original meaning. Worse, we provide fodder for skeptics ready to pounce o...

Some skeptics of The Bible argue that the teaching that Jesus is God did not emerge until very late in the first century. Few skeptical New Testament scholars would deny that the gospel of John presents us with a divine Jesus. After all, not many (besides Arians and Jehovah's Witnesses) can read John 1 without seeing that Jesus is God, distinct from the Father, and is the Creator of all? But what...

An idea given by last week's guest, Ken Samples, today on Cerebral Faith Live/The Cerebral Faith Podcast, I will be discussing how I got into apologetics, how I got started studying the arguments for God's existence, the case for Jesus' resurrection, and whatnot, and how I got into a steady rhythm of learning so that I could become the well-equipped apologist I am today.  If you'd like to sup...

As a philosopher and theologian, Kenneth Samples is passionate about encouraging Christians to think. This is why he was disturbed when discovering this quote from Dennis Prager found in Kent Hughes’s, Disciples of a Godly Man.    “One thing I noticed about Evangelicals is that they do not read. They do not read the Bible, they do not read the great Christian thinkers, they have never he...

How did God create us human beings? Did He create us de novo, apart from the other species or did He employ an evolutionary process? To debate this issue tonight is Reason’s To Believe’s Fazale “Fuz” Rana and Aaron R. Yilmaz. Dr. Rana will be defending the special creation view and Yilmaz will be defending the Evolutionary Creationist view.    Biochemist Fazale Rana, is VP of Research an...

Are you aware that deterministic T.U.L.I.P Calvinism has more holes than a block of Swiss cheese and yet you find yourself not completely satisfied with typical Arminian soteriology either? Then you’re in good company. Evan Minton and Kenneth Keathley felt exactly the same way, but then they discovered Molinism. While Molinism is not a soteriological view per se, it can be applied to one’s underst...

Did Jesus rise from the dead? How can we know whether he did or not? Do you just have to have faith that it happened? Does your answer to this question depend on a presupposition on whether or not The Bible is the word of God? Or can we have good historical evidence for this event? In tonight’s episode of Cerebral Faith Live, Christian Caleb Jackson and Non-Christian James Fodor will be debating t...

In this episode of The Cerebral Faith Podcast, I have Nick Peters of Deeper Waters Ministries on to discuss a view of eschatology (i.e the end times) known as preterism. What is preterism and is it biblical?  If you'd like to see more content of Nick Peter's in the form of blog posts and podcast episodes, check out his website at www.deeperwatersapologetics.com

Is cremation morally permissible for Christians or is burial the only acceptable option? In this episode, Evan Minton provides his thoughts. 

Evan Minton gives a euology for his mother, Darlean Michele Minton (1959-2021). He talks about how she played a role in helping him cultivate his Christian faith, how she has been a huge support to him throughout his time doing apologetics ministry, and how although he is sad because she's gone, he isn't in despair due to God's promise of resurrection for those who place their trust in His Son Jes...

The issue of science and faith is a struggle for many Christians. How to we reconcile the findings of science regarding an old earth and evolution with our Christian faith? Can they be reconciled? And what does the evidence from science even say in the first place? What evidence is there for an old earth? What evidence is there for evolution? In today's episode, Evan Minton interviews Janet Kellog...

The Sermon On The Mount recorded in Matthew 5-7 has many teachings of Jesus that He intended for members of the kingdom of God to follow. However, not everything in this passage is correctly understood by Bible readers. Many misconceptions and misinterpretations abound. In this episode, Evan Minton sets the record straight on many of Jesus' teachings recorded. The topics to discuss are: *Light Of...

Sean Carrol wrote a blog post titled "Physics and The Immortality Of The Soul" in which he argues that physicalism is the only scientifically viable model of anthropology. In this episode, Michael Jones of Inspiring Philosophy tackles the article and shows why Carrol's arguments do nothing to refute either substance dualism or idealism.
