Practical Apologetics: Clear Answers for the Every... - Episode 29: What Does the Bible Say About the Unborn? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Episodes 27 and 28, we started with science and philosophy. We established that the unborn is biologically human and alive, then asked whether differences in size, development, environment, dependency, intelligence, or wantedness can justify treating one human being as less valuable than another. Now we turn directly to Scripture. In Episode 29 of Practical Apologetics, we ask what the Bible actually says about human life in the womb. We begin in Genesis with the image of God and the foundati
Episode 28: Is the Unborn a Person? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In Episode 27, we established that the unborn is biologically human and alive. But that still leaves another question: Does being biologically human and alive make the unborn a person with the same basic right to life as you and me? In Episode 28 of Practical Apologetics, we look at the philosophical question of personhood. Using Scott Klusendorf’s SLED argument, we examine whether size, level of development, environment, or degree of dependency are enough to justify treating one human being as
Episode 27: When Does Human Life Begin? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Abortion is one of the most controversial issues in our culture. But before we ask whether abortion is right or wrong, whether it should be legal, or even what the Bible says about it, there’s a more basic question: What exactly is being aborted? In the first episode of a four-part series on abortion and the Christian worldview, we begin with science rather than Scripture. When does a new human organism begin? Is an embryo really “just a clump of cells”? Is the unborn simply part of the mother’s
Episode 26: Did Jesus Drink Alcohol? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Bible clearly says Jesus drank wine. But was that wine actually alcoholic, or was it more like grape juice? In this episode of Practical Apologetics, we look at what Scripture says about wine, the wedding at Cana, the difference between drunkenness and drinking, and the common claim that biblical wine was nonalcoholic. We also trace how the nineteenth-century temperance movement helped popularize the idea of “two wines” in Scripture and how that belief became a piece of Christian folk theolo
Episode 25: What is Faith? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What is faith? Is it believing something without evidence, or does the Bible give us a very different picture? In this episode of Practical Apologetics, we look at what Scripture actually means by faith. Using Abraham as our primary example, we examine the difference between just believing something is true and actually placing our trust in God. Abraham and Sarah had tried and failed to have children. Sarah was barren, they were growing old, and yet God promised Abraham a son. Abraham couldn't s
