ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Good day to you 2s and 3s,
In this week-to-week, back-to-back installment, Caleb & Jared examine some considerations of Jesus Christ by other religions and belief systems (Myths and Mystery Religions, Cults and established faiths, etc) and where they fall short. Over these two parts, we fairly consistently see the following principles for critical reflection emerge:
- - Many religions seeks to bolster their own credibility by endorsing the coherence of figures from another; many faiths often (and rightly so) find Jesus of Nazareth very compelling
- - However, their 'square peg in round hole' approaches consistently find their contexts are lacking in explaining such a character, and their accompanying inconsistencies in their own core tenets often are self defeating anyway
- - We endorse a 'Mike Winger' approach that the best defense against the convincing arguments for other faiths (while knowing about the alternatives can be helpful), is to develop good Scriptural literacy
We had a lot of fun recording these, rehearsing points we ourselves found useful in apologetically defining Christian faith. We hope it blesses you too :) As always, we include some sources below to continue your own learning in faith journey. God bless you all,
- J., C. & J.
