We have already covered the aspects of Christ’s humanity and divinity. For that discussion you can see part one of Understanding Jesus. In history there were also examples of wrong teaching regarding the incarnation. As we endeavor to accurately understand the incarnation of Christ, it can be helpful to look at what it is not. So, we […]

Understanding Jesus – Part 1
While this post is not meant to be an exhaustive discussion on the deity and humanity of Jesus, it will hopefully bring some clarity on how to understand the God-man. Wayne Grudem writes, “Jesus Christ was fully God and fully man in one person, and will be so forever” (529). There is a lot of […]
Understanding the Trinity
The doctrine of the Trinity is challenging. God is unique and as a result, no analogy is equally comparable. As a result, there may be times while attempting to understand the Trinity, when we will feel comprehension eludes us. This can be rather frustrating. In reality though, what sort of God would God be, if in our […]
Well, It’s True For Me – Moral Relativism Part 3
For the preceding discussion on this topic, please see parts one and two. So far we have covered the different aspects of moral relativism.

In addition to the challenge of balancing classes, jobs and the new-found freedom that comes with college life, many Christian students, upon entering a secular university, find it difficult to defend their worldview as well. Is everything relative? Is it close-minded and judgmental to believe in truth that is true for everyone? Can something be […]
Free Will and Suffering
It is not uncommon in light of so much pain and suffering around us for people to wonder why God didn’t choose to create a world without evil. If God is supremely powerful and loving, it seems, we reason, that evil wouldn’t exist. Since evil does exist, that same reasoning suggests, perhaps God is not […]
Attributes of God
The attributes of God are the descriptions of God in His word, that he gives us regarding who and how he is. It is important to note that God has not fully revealed Himself to us, and so we cannot fully know and understand him. This does not mean, however, that we are unable to […]
