New posts every week!
The Blog.
Any responses to objections I write about will be displayed here as well as any resources I come across. This could be podcasts, apologetics conferences etc. As well as this, I’m aiming to do a weekly “here’s some interesting stuff” post from Easter onwards, whether that be a podcast, Youtube video, debate etc. It should be noted that pre-existing content prior to the blog is found elsewhere on the site.
So in summary: Faith defending, resources & highlights of the week.

Christian Apologetics: Defend your faith from objections
Reading Time: 6 minutes I was asked recently If I’d done anything on the Old Testament. It’s a big topic, so I haven’t, it is beyond my current scope. But! I’ve put together a list of resources if you wanted to get started on the topic!

19 Reasons Why 1 Enoch is not in the Bible
Reading Time: 26 minutes This is a book I’ve heard about here and there, plus I have a friend whose very invested in Enoch! so I thought.. Well what are the reasons it is not in the Bible? Do people only want it in because it feels it plugs gaps? (eek!). Here’s 19 reasons it is not in Our Bible and shouldn’t be in any Bibles! Some of the reasons are pretty tame or minimal, others are severe criticisms of 1 Enoch’s validity. Enjoy!

Resources: The Reliability of the Old Testament
Reading Time: 4 minutes I was asked recently If I’d done anything on the Old Testament. It’s a big topic, so I haven’t, it is beyond my current scope. But! I’ve put together a list of resources if you wanted to get started on the topic!

Supposed Bible contradictions/errors refuted.
Reading Time: 2 minutes Bible Contradictions! We hear about them so often! But do they really exist? Well no, there is no where it says “Jesus said baptism is evil” “Jesus said I am not God” “Jesus said the trinity is stupid”.. No. What we’re really at task is are there seemingly difficult passages

Blog, week 4.
Reading Time: 5 minutes Week 4 It’s been a month! and it’s been quite a successful one with reaching a whole host of people who aren’t too familiar with apologetics or are and are thankful for the resources. The testimonies and comments I’ve personally received have been heartwarming and reassuring that what I’m sharing

An atheist converts observations
Reading Time: 3 minutes Happy Bank Holiday! I was inspired the other day to write this article When I was an atheist what were some of the irritations I had engaging with Christians? And now that I am a Christian, what have I seen that has turned my God-seeker friends away? Just an FYI I

Blog, week 3.
Reading Time: 3 minutes Week 3 Well things are going great, Instagram seems to be quite the hotspot for this material and I’m putting a lot of effort into making the Instagram better. In fact, Instagram will now be known as a library to be built. Facebook I will still share the core articles,

Blog 2. Evangelism, Ethics & more
Reading Time: 3 minutes An all sorts It’s been a great second week on the site, plenty bugs and kinks to work out (Sorry for all the people who’ve emailed me, just discovered none of my responses have been sent! Will try to fix that…). Getting straight to the point, here are the resources!

Blog 1. Welcome
Reading Time: 3 minutes Over 5,000! Well this has been an exciting week! Launched eight days ago, 5,000 people reached through social media and the project has lift off! The aim of these posts generally will to share the resources I come across each week as well as projects I am working on. The

Suffering and the love of God
Reading Time: 9 minutes So the intellectual arguments for defending God’s existence in the presence of suffering may check out, but how does God love us through the suffering? These intellectual arguments may deal with suffering, but personally are very cold and often removed from our trials. It was the sheer suffering in my

The Probability problem of evil
Reading Time: 5 minutes Ok so God and suffering logically exists, we’ve sold that, but is it likely true? It may still be argued that while it’s logically possible that God and suffering both exist, but it’s far from likely. There’s just so much pointless suffering it seems improbable that God could have good

The logical problem of evil
Reading Time: 3 minutes Ok, here I am looking at the philosophical challenges of God’s existence (possible and probable). These are NOT arguments you would share with someone grieving, or hit by hard times. No, these are foundational arguments you probably need to know either prior or a while after a tragic event. I

The Cosmic battle of the cross: The missing answer in the problem of evil debate.
Reading Time: 6 minutes Evil didn’t begin with human beings; evil began with the rebellion of Satan and other angelic beings. Although we know a little bit about how God is going to do with Satan scripture tells us very few details about how and why Satan rebelled against God. However there is a

Will eternity be boring?
Reading Time: 5 minutes There are some funny views of heaven which, quite frankly, are just weird. Some have come from taking symbolism too far (like they have done for hell), other ideas about heaven are just alien altogether. In fact, some of the misconceptions are so bizarre that many Christians actually fear heaven.

Will we have free will in heaven?
Reading Time: 6 minutes Yes. If there were no free will, why not take away suffering sooner since it’s all a game of chess where both teams are puppet masters? Now are there examples of free will in heaven? Yes, there was a war in heaven (Revelation 12:7). Also, with this free-will, why would

Wasn’t there another way?
Reading Time: 9 minutes So it has been said: Couldn’t God give us freedom but there be less evil? Well I’d like to ask a follow up question: How could God give humans free will yet not let them hurt each other? Saying this doesn’t make it true, could God do it better? Well

Is free will worth it considering all the suffering in the world?
Reading Time: 4 minutes Does our free will justify the quantity of suffering? Firstly how do we define free-will? It is the ability to do other than you do. It is the ability to make self-determined or self-caused choices as opposed to having our choices determined or caused by someone or something else. If

What’s fair about eternal punishment?
Reading Time: 9 minutes Those who look at the problem of evil long enough sometimes come to the conclusion that perhaps there is only one problem of evil, hell. There are some in a position where they want to redefine hell, so it is a place of annihilation, so you don’t go on forever

What about those who have never heard?
Reading Time: 7 minutes So a common objection that comes up is if those who are to be saved need to hear the Gospel, what about those who have never heard about it? Many sceptics say people on the judgement day, through no fault of their own, will be condemned because they lacked the

Are there no good people? (Part 2)
Reading Time: 6 minutes Did Jesus think there were good people? In Mark 10:18 someone calls Jesus good teacher, to which he responds “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.” (Jesus’ trick here is for them to reflect on their words, not the denial of his godly status,

Why do bad things happen to good people? (Part 1)
Reading Time: 10 minutes A question we all ask, yet the answer is more complex than we’d ever imagined.

Why do we suffer for Adams sin?
Reading Time: 10 minutes If Adam and Eve messed up, why are we bearing their burden?

Why some people think there is no answer to the problem of evil
Reading Time: 2 minutes Why people think there can be no answer to this problem

Did Paul have temporal lobe epilepsy?
Reading Time: 6 minutes So I was asked about the possibility of Paul having TLE. Now with anything, a mere assertion doesn’t make it more plausible, so what is the case and response to this objection?

Why was Pilate surprised Jesus died so quickly?
Reading Time: 5 minutes Jesus died on the cross, and he did it quickly. This surprised Pilate, could there be a problem in the crucifixion account?
