Is Chick-fil-A Chicken? And your questions

Podcast: Play in new window

Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | Android | iHeartRadio | Blubrry | Email | TuneIn | RSS

Jesus said that you can’t serve both God and money.   It looks like Chick-fil-A may be sacrificing God for money.  Under pressure from LGBTQ activists, they’ve decided to stop supporting the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.  They say they want to focus their charitable giving “in areas of education, homelessness, and hunger.”

Newsflash:  That’s exactly what the Salvation Army and FCA do!

Now, Chick-fil-A can give or not give to whomever it wants.  But don’t say the reason you’re not giving to the SA or FCA is that you want to focus your giving on exactly what those organizations are already doing! There must be something else going on here.

Join Frank as he investigates that and answers questions on:

  • Theistic evolution: Is macroevolution compatible with the scriptures?  Is there scientific support for macroevolution?
  • What can we conclude from the thousands of New Testament manuscripts?
  • Why didn’t the Egyptians report the Exodus?
  • Will we have free will in Heaven?

Guilty by Reason of Insanity with David Limbaugh

How do you get informed as to what is going on in our crazy political discourse right now? I can’t keep up with it all. I not only can’t keep up with it all, but I also forget what happened politically last week, and last month, and last year. I need someone to document it all for me so I can make informed decisions as we enter an election year. New York Times best-selling author, David Limbaugh, has done so with his new, exquisitely researched book, Guilty by Reason of Insanity. David covers a wide range of topics—racism, gender, intersectionality, socialism, capitalism, abortion, immigration, religious freedom, etc.— that should be important to all people, especially Christians. No matter what you believe politically right now, you should read David’s amazingly insightful book and listen to this interview!

Major Moral Argument Mistakes (Part 3)

Podcast: Play in new window

Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | Android | iHeartRadio | Blubrry | Email | TuneIn | RSS

Frank continues his detailed response to a retired attorney who objects to the moral argument.  People often find this the most personally relevant argument for God, and that’s perhaps why atheists often object to it the most.  However, Frank points out, their objections are often due to misunderstandings or misapplication of evolutionary theory to morality.  Listen to this and the first two parts to make sure you’re ready to give a reason for the hope that you have (1 Pet. 3:15).

Major Moral Argument Mistakes (Part 2)

How good is the moral argument?  A retired attorney wrote Frank asserting that we don’t need God for objective morality.  Some of his challenges can be summarized in the following questions:

  • Does the moral argument depend on everyone agreeing on right and wrong?
  • Can human beings construct an objective moral standard independent of God? Couldn’t the majority vote do that?
  • Are God’s commands based on God’s desires?
  • Are they based on God’s authority?
  • Can’t evolution explain morality?
  • Do changing views on morality mean there is no objective morality?
  • What about moral dilemmas? Do they show morality is relative?

Join Frank as he continues his response to these challenges.

Join Frank as he goes into depth on these and other questions.  In fact, this show starts with an analysis of one Presidential candidate’s claim that a church’s tax-exempt status should be revoked if it fails to embrace same-sex marriage.  Does this align with the Constitution?  And why are churches tax-exempt anyway?

Do atheists just lack a belief in God?

Podcast: Play in new window

Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | Android | iHeartRadio | Blubrry | Email | TuneIn | RSS

In recent presentations at Fresno State and the University of Arizona, atheists insisted that they just “lack a belief in God”, while at the same time rejecting God because they think He is immoral.  How should we respond to this?

  • Is “lacking a belief in God” the proper and helpful definition of atheism?
  • What questions can you ask atheists who say this?
  • By what moral standard are atheists judging God to be immoral?
  • Why atheists have a burden of proof just like Christians
  • Why Christianity is the best explanation of why reality is the way it is.

Frank also answers questions about “love” being a religion, and why do some OT laws apply to us today, but others don’t.

J. Warner Wallace guest hosts the show this week and answers a listener email about the nature of “social justice”. What is the definition of this term and how do people typically interpret it? Is social justice commanded in the Jewish and Christian scriptures? Is there a difference between “social justice” and “biblical justice”? If so, how do these two terms differ and how are we, as Christians supposed to respond in this area? J. Warner delineates the differences using an investigative template.

Theistic Evolution? with Dr. Stephen Meyer

Podcast: Play in new window

Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | Android | iHeartRadio | Blubrry | Email | TuneIn | RSS

Some Christians are trying to get the church to accept evolution by putting the word “theistic” in front of it. Is that wise? Is evolution true?  Join Frank and his guest Dr. Stephen Meyer (one of the best people on the planet to discuss this), as they investigate several important questions such as:

  • Theistic evolution:  What is it?
  • If it’s true, where does God intervene?
  • Is it a halfway house between naturalism and ID?
  • Does it contradict the Bible?
  • What about the “god of the gaps” fallacy? (Might evolutionists be committing the “natural law of the gaps” fallacy?
  • How do Christians explain the simple to complex progression of life in the fossil record?
  • What dating methods are used to date fossils?

Dr. Meyer contributed significantly to the massive recent book, Theistic Evolution:  A Scientific, Philosophical and Theological Critique.  You should also go to the CrossExamined app and listen to the January 2017 and September 2014 shows with Dr. Meyer.  Those shows are evergreen and lay out the evidence against macroevolution and for intelligent design.

Why are there so many denominations?

Podcast: Play in new window

Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | Android | iHeartRadio | Blubrry | Email | TuneIn | RSS

Skeptics are quick to claim that there are thousands of Christian denominations.  Is that really true?  If the Bible is true and clear, why is are there so many denominations?   Join Frank as he addresses these four questions:

  1. Are just Christians divided?
  2. How serious are denominational disagreements?
  3. What causes divisions?
  4. Is God clear enough? 

Along the way, you’ll see that people disagree on almost everything— even science!  The bottom line regarding denominations is that disagreement is more about our resistance to clear doctrine than the existence of clear doctrine.
