Who Chose the Books of the Bible?

Who decided which books belong in the Bible? Did church councils “choose” the canon, or simply recognize what was already Scripture?

What does it mean when Christians say the Bible is "inspired" by God? Did the biblical authors know they were writing Scripture?

If God Is Good, Why Is There Evil and Suffering?

Why does an all-good and all-powerful God allow evil and suffering to exist?

Faith vs Works: Do They Contradict Each Other?

What Does It Mean to Be Made in God's Image?

Is Faith The Opposite of Knowing?

Many people think faith and knowing are opposites. We argue the opposite: faith is inevitable and necessary to know ultimate truth. Using the Wesleyan Quadrilateral, we see how every source of truth requires faith to bridge evidence and belief. We introduce two classic arguments for God’s existence, and explain why Christianity offers the strongest historical and textual case for divine revelation. Key Scriptures: Hebrews 11:1; Romans 1:19–20; Romans 2:14–15 Send your questions to theologiclife@gmail.com for a chance to be answered on a future episode!
