Training Our Minds

In the last few weeks we covered Bart Ehrman, Bill Nye, and Neil DeGrasse Tyson. Today we look at Paul Kurtz and the Secular Humanist Manifestos. We see how Norman Geisler debates Paul Kurtz and recognize when he deflects from the argument.

Neil deGrasse Tyson and Bill Nye the Science Guy were popular science hosts on kids shows like PBS. Now they are science commentators, entertainers, and authors. They frequently answer questions about science and God.

Bart Ehrman is one of the leading Bible skeptics today. If someone is looking for a way to cast doubt on scripture, they usually quote him verbatim. In this class, we listen to a second example of how he tries to discredit scripture, and pull apart what he says piece by piece.

What is one thing being pushed today about the canon that people now just accept as fact? The theological winners of the time were suppressing some books of the Bible while accepting others, changing the Bible so that what we have today is not what they had then. How do we know what authority to trust?

In this sixth and final lecture on the sovereignty of God in justification, Pastor Ben teaches on the perseverance of the saints, which we can also think of as the preservation of the saints. There are two perspectives on this. Calvinists believe you cannot lose your salvation because God preserves his elect, Arminians believe you can lose your salvation.
