What can you expect when you set up a meeting with our volunteer specialists at TalkAboutDoubts to discuss the evidence for Christianity and your doubts about the truth of the gospel? Here is a new testimonial video in which one of our past inquirers, Timothy, talks about his story of finding Christ through TalkAboutDoubts. https://t.co/Qmzcp9utfw
"I feel often incapable of doing justice to my subject with my readers, however familiar they may be with Holy Writ. The full force of the argument can only be felt by him who pursues it for himself, when he is in his chamber and is still; his assent taken captive before he is aware of it; his doubts, if any he had. melting away under the continual dropping of minute particles of evidence upon his mind, as it proceeds in its investigation."
John James Blunt
This is an excellent article by Caleb Jore on rebuttal-induced anxiety, which is quite common in people we engage with at TalkAboutDoubts. https://t.co/PiZX1j2soO
@o_maior_gustavo@DaviLouis03@VenetianGaucho2 Jonathan McLatchie here. I don't take this view at all. I think the entire book of Daniel was composed in the sixth century B.C., as I argue at some length in this essay: https://t.co/0g8TujT10k
@AdrianL92606@AdrianL92606 -- It doesn't sound like you're really interested in the fact that Lambert & Ehrman don't actually represent accurately what I wrote in the article they're supposed to be responding to.
@AdrianL92606 Jonathan McLatchie here. You do realize I wrote a detailed response to this? Unfortunately they didn't even accurately represent what my critiques were. https://t.co/EkHzBFV6NB
@vteclimey There are plenty of atheists who strawman the case for Christianity as well. But that has no bearing on the validity of the legitimate arguments. :)
@MatthewHartke I'm not following how this is special pleading? I'm stating my conclusions here -- that the gospels & Acts are of the highest caliber when it comes to their historical reliability.
@DrKippDavis@Lion_IRC@DrFrankTurek@Meldougherty77@DrKippDavis -- I don't get the impression that you have studied the New Testament evidences for Christianity at all. Every time I've seen you weigh in on the topic it is apparent that you're out of your depth. This makes it quite difficult to engage substantively with you.
@DrKippDavis@Lion_IRC@DrFrankTurek@Meldougherty77 Sorry but this is just not true. I have always publicly maintained that there is evidence both for and against Christianity and that I think the preponderance of evidence overwhelmingly confirms Christianity. If I didn't think this, I would no longer be a Christian.
@DrKippDavis@Lion_IRC@DrFrankTurek@Meldougherty77 Well, we don't start with our conclusions either. I'm a Christian because I'm persuaded by the evidence that Christianity is true. And then I try to persuade others of the same conclusions. You may disagree with our assessment, but let's not strawman our position.
@DrKippDavis@Lion_IRC@DrFrankTurek@Meldougherty77 Of course apologetics is a necessary part of scholarship. Don't you write up your conclusions drawn from the data in an attempt to persuade others?
