A Christian Thinktank

Thinking of approaching God? A presentation, explanation, and mini-argument for the faith (above in French) (above in Spanish) When you are ready for that first step toward God... The Relevance of the Christian worldview in the 21st century Faith is simpler than it looks... My personal story and experience What is a Christian? Another (smaller) explanation of God's overture and offer to us... Thumbnails - small explanations of Christian understandings	Series, Syllabi, and Larger Studies The Miracles of Jesus The Trinity Women in the Bible Slavery in the Bible The Making of the OT/Tanach The Christian Worldview The Work of Christ on the Cross The NT 'bias' and composition The issue of the Canon Messianic Prophecy An exploration in Theodicy Competing Claims to "Truth"? Christian arguments and conclusiveness? Why does Christianity need so much defending, if it's true? Exploring the process of revelation	Of Interest to Followers of Other Religions For students of Islam Paul versus Jesus? (and versus James, etc) Nazarenes/Ebionites the only true Christians? How can Christians believe that there is only one God, and yet still call Jesus the Son of God and How is the believer's sonship to God different from Christ's Sonship to God? Series on the Death of Jesus: Do Muslims have to believe that Jesus was not crucified? Why did Jesus allow His enemies to shame and execute Him? How Did Messiah Jesus explain His death to His disciples? How did Jesus' Companions the Apostles understand what happened at the Cross? How Should we respond to the Message of Jesus and His apostles about His death on the Cross? Two articles on diversity in the Godhead Are there 3 gods in the Trinity? (explanatory work--not a defense) Early history of Muslim/Christian theological discussions of diversity within God A Series of Questions from a Muslim in the Middle East about Jesus--with unusually short answers from me... (non-scholarly, explaining -- not defending -- the positions; some will accuse me of dancing too close to the fire of the 2-4th century heresies about the nature of the trinity and of the hypostatic union... as if those precious ancients did--or anybody else can do--much better precision in the face of such Overwhelming Mystery and Majesty!) Have you ever seen Jesus? Have you ever talked to/with Him? How do (would) you recognize that person in front of you is Him, the Jesus? Is Jesus the God? if He is God how can the man kill God? Was he a good prophet? If he was a prophet why do you say him God? If he was a God why was this import for him to give his life? Because he could show the right path to the mankind without giving his life. If he gave his life for the whole mankind, is all mankind saved? If yes how? Are their sins forgiven? And if the sins are forgiven, will all go to the heaven? Is this important to convert to the Christian religion, if I have to accept Jesus? If I think about being a part of Christian religion how would I survive? Because my family will kill me, and how will I like to be a Christian just to die? For students of Judaism Did the messianic Jewish Believers use the Hebrew Bible deceitfully in the NT? Were 1st-century Jews expecting a Messiah? Was Jesus a failure as a Messiah? Why believe Jesus was the Messiah when he did not fulfill all the prophecies? Does the New Testament contradict the Hebrew bible by saying the 'eternal law' has been changed? Was Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross a case of illegal human sacrifice? Was John's Gospel anti-Semitic? Was Paul's statement in 1 Thess 2 anti-Semitic? Are Christians committing Idolatry and Violating the 2nd Commandant in the use of images of Jesus?
