Response to William Lane Craig – Part 12
Here is my main objection to William Craig’s case for the resurrection of Jesus: It is not possible for a person to rise from the dead until AFTER that person has actually died. Thus, in order to prove that Jesus rose from the dead, one must first prove that Jesus died on the cross. But … Response to William Lane Craig – Part 12

Here is a third option for breaking down the question “Does God exist?” (click on the image below to get a clearer view of the chart): This is a variation on Option 2 (see the previous post in this series). In this analysis I stick with the process of simply adding on divine attributes to … Does God Exist? Part 2
Does God Exist? Part 1
The overarching question for my ten-year plan is: Is Christianity true or false? After I clarify this overarching question, the first major question to investigate is this: Does God exist? I will, of course, at some point need to address the traditional arguments for the existence of God (ontological, cosmological, teleological, and moral arguments). But I … Does God Exist? Part 1

Ten-Year Plan: Revised Scope
I am going to start my Ten-Year Plan this year. However, I have decided to EXPAND the scope of the project; I will attempt to eat the whole enchilada, so ten years might not be enough time. I wrote a previous post (offsite) on my Ten-Year Plan. The question at issue: Is Christianity true or false? Here … Ten-Year Plan: Revised Scope

Response to William Lane Craig – Part 8
I have one final objection to raise against Luke Johnson’s use of the “method of convergence”. I have been using the phrase “the devil is in the details” to summarize a number of problems with, or objections to, Johnson’s use of the “method of convergence” to establish some key claims about Jesus. But there are some … Response to William Lane Craig – Part 8
