This account exists because of one simple truth: Jesus changed my life forever. The hope He gives isn't wishful thinking, it's real, grounded in history, Scripture, and personal encounter. Excited to explore that hope together. What's one way Jesus has given you hope lately? ✝️

[Steadfast Apologia @ReasonForHope_]

I'm using the word accidental to describe the common naturalistic (or materialist) view that many prominent atheists hold, the universe and life arose through unguided natural processes without intentional purpose or design.
The word “accidental” is a theistic summary of that position.

[Steadfast Apologia @ReasonForHope_]

Atheism says the universe is accidental and we’re cosmic accidents with no ultimate purpose. Yet we long for meaning. Christianity says we’re created for relationship with our Creator.

Islam has no atonement for sin, good deeds vs. bad on a scale. The Bible says sin’s penalty is death, paid fully by Jesus’ substitutionary death. (Isa 53 Rom 3:25) How can a scale balance infinite guilt?

Worst small group question for Bible studies…

“What does it mean to you?”

Don’t ask what it means TO YOU but what it means independent of whether you exist or not.

Muslims, it's 2026. We have internet access now. Spamming "1 Quran perfectly preserved!" is literally a meme these days 😂

Apologetic Of The Day ⚔️

Mormonism teaches the Godhead is three separate gods, and God the Father was once a man who progressed. The Bible says God is one, eternal, unchanging Spirit (Isa 43:10; Mal 3:6; John 4:24). No “eternal progression.” Which God is the Bible describing?

Apologetic Of The Day ⚔️

The universe is fine-tuned for life: gravity, strong nuclear force, etc. dialed to precision. Change one constant and we don’t exist. Chance? Or design by an intelligent Creator? Atheism offers no explanation. (Ps 19:1) Design or cosmic accident?

@farmingandJesus For sure, that, and manipulating the words of the book of Revelation in order to stir up fear

[Steadfast Apologia @ReasonForHope_]

14 And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. 15 More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

Apologetic Of The Day ⚔️

Islam denies Jesus died on the cross (Q4:157). Yet every early non-Christian historian (Tacitus, Josephus, etc.) confirms it. The earliest Christians died for claiming they saw the risen Jesus. Historical fact, not conspiracy. (1 Cor 15:3-8) Why trust the Quran over eyewitnesses?

Apologetic Of The Day ⚔️

Atheism says our brains are just chemical reactions from blind evolution. But then why trust our reasoning or science? Rational thought only makes sense if we’re designed by a rational God. Naturalism undermines itself. (Prov 1:7) How do you ground reason?

Apologetic Of The Day ⚔️

Mormons call Joseph Smith a prophet, but Deuteronomy 18:22 says a true prophet’s predictions never fail. Smith prophesied the temple in Independence, MO would be built in his generation, it never was. False prophet test failed.

He is Risen indeed!
O death, where is thy sting?
O grave, where is thy victory?
The tomb is empty, our King is alive!
Rejoice this Resurrection Sunday. ✝️ #HeIsRisen

Apologetic Of The Day ⚔️

Jehovah’s Witnesses say Jesus is Michael the Archangel. Yet Hebrews 1:5 says God never called any angel “You are My Son.” Jesus is the unique eternal Son. (Col 1:15-17; John 1:1) The Bible calls Jesus God. Who do you say He is?

How do you define "pro nature"?
Also what exactly do you mean when you say "the vast majority of foetuses naturally aborted by your God's design"?
And your opinion can't be objectively right in your world view, at the end of the day it's matter bumping into matter, star dust bumping into stardust, you can't objectively answer the question of "so what?" When you say something is wrong.

[Steadfast Apologia @ReasonForHope_]

Apologetic Of The Day ⚔️

If atheism is true, morality is just evolved preference, no objective right or wrong. Yet we all know torturing innocents is evil. Objective moral laws require a Moral Lawgiver. Christianity explains it.
Where do your morals come from?

Did a fourth-century church council invent Christianity as we know it? It's one of the most popular claims made by skeptics today — that the divinity of Jesus and the contents of the Bible weren't ancient convictions, but later inventions, decided by committee at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD.

In this the 3rd episode of Can I Trust the Bible?, Wes and Andy head to Turkey and Italy, going straight to the source to find out whether there's any truth to these claims. Did the Council of Nicaea really vote on the Bible, or invent Christ's divinity? The answers might surprise you.

Join us on this next adventure as we dig into one of church history's most misunderstood moments, separating myth from fact, and following the evidence where it leads.

I'm directly quoting Peter and apolstle that walked with Jesus and learned under Him (your admitted standard) and you've already admitted to believing that Peters writings are inspired by God. Therefore the logical conclusion is that when Peter writes, clearly confirming Paul's writings as scripture, it is actually God that is confirming Paul's writings as scripture. You call me satanic while I'm simply affirming Paul's writings as scripture, just like almost every Christian and early church father has since the apostles themselves.

[Steadfast Apologia @ReasonForHope_]

2 Peter 3:15-16 "15 And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, 16 as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. "

Peter directly calls Paul's writings inspired (wisdom given to him) scriptures (as do the other scriptures)

Saying "Barely" is a bit of a stretch

[Steadfast Apologia @ReasonForHope_]

The synoptic Gospels and the letters from Paul's manuscripts, textual features, and early adoption show clearly that they came about within the lifespan of the apostles & eyewitnesses, the church simply adopted what was already known and confirmed to be scripture, unlike the much later texts of the Gospel of Thomas.
And what do you mean when you say "translated multiple times" we have very early manuscripts that show that the bible we have today is extremely reliable and faithful to the original texts.
