Should Christians support Obamacare? Some say yes, arguing that the law made insurance affordable for millions of Americans. Others say no, claiming that the law places an undue burden on taxpayers, and provides for abortions. This Saturday on Up for Debate, Julie Roys will discuss the issue with Jim Wallis of Sojourners who supports Obamacare and Twila Brase of Citizen's Council for Health Freedom, who opposes it.

Should Christians Support Obamacare?

Many issues are not debatable within orthodox Christianity—the virgin birth, the veracity of the Scripture, the bodily resurrection of Christ. However, some issues are. For example: Can a Christian join the military and support a war? Should Christians advocate for environmental causes? Is it okay to use in-vitro fertilization? Up For Debate seeks to equip believers to discern these debatable matters by engaging biblically with people holding diverse opinions. Each week, Up For Debate invites two guests onto the one-hour program to defend opposing views. The views expressed on Up For Debate do not always represent those of Moody Bible Institute. However, Moody wholeheartedly affirms the means the show uses to evaluate these views. Like the Bereans mentioned in Acts, we examine the Scriptures, seeking which positions most closely align with God’s Word. By doing so, Up For Debate develops in listeners what British essayist Samuel Johnson termed “expert discernment”—the ability “to tell the good from the bad” and “the genuine from the counterfeit.”
