Cameron, a quick thought: Your focused interests in philosophy of religion is both enjoyable and informative. Yet might this channel cover more topics in Biblical history and theology? I think that would ‘capture Christianity’ to a greater extent.

I dove into apologetics just about 4 years ago and this channel has strengthened my faith enormously! Thanks so much Cameron for creating great content. Braxton has also helped me with understanding the arguments better with his channel. Just bought the book CORE FACTS, I'm curious to see what objections are brought up and how these are refuted.

Love Dr. Hunter. Fantastic presentation

The key to getting your church more involved in the intellectual side of apologetics: you yourself get engaged as a MENTOR with young adults in teens. We as apologists must engage with young people as mentors before they will listen to our intellectual arguments.

15:29 (paraphrase) “Woody can’t have brought the cinematic universe of Toy Story into existence because he’s a part of what we’re trying to explain”.
“Jesus can’t be the cause of our universe because he’s part of the universe and what we’re trying to explain”
I’m not arguing here that that this is fatal to the underlying argument but something is funky with this way of stating it, I think. Or at least there’s a worry that the solution one use for Jesus may or may not be applicable to Woody as well. In the Marvell movies Stan Lee is actually in there which confuses this further.

Btw I love taking simple analogies way to seriously 😊 it’s just good fun.

4:32 “… argue with … who ever gets in the line of fire.” I was hoping he’d say atheists/agnostics but I’ll take it.

His daughter's take on his humor is deeply shared.

A useful thought-experiment to figure out how solid an argument is, for say Christianity, is to ponder for a while what the least Christian explanation is that is compatible with the argument. Like how much of Christianity could you subtly (or radically) replace and the argument would still work. It can be used for other positions as well of course, feel free to be creative! It helps one to focus on what the arguments rule out rather than what they are compatible with. Arguments that rule out more things are better at narrowing down the space of possibilities! Really pretend that you wish to hold the other position so that you can fully use your motivated reasoning to help. You can always switch back afterwards.

If you’re Atheist, Agnostic, Muslim, Hindu or something else try it for that position.

Why do people who claim to have "faith"...work SO hard to come up with "evidence"? Faith isn't enough?

Faith is when you believe in something you can’t prove to be real.

1 Samuel 15: 3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”

The two greatest failures of the modern church is apologetics and marriage. We need to do a better job of defending both.

@joellukewarriorforjesusthe293 4 years ago

Brilliant love this thank you

@jjbradian3834 4 years ago

"The Core Facts Argument for God for the Gullible" is a much more appropriate title.

2:00 … tall and thin… and with lush hair. 😊 Do your job camera person!

11:50 This bit is funny. You’ve got some serious comedy going Braxton. 💜

The most important thing to know about atheism is it's intimate connection with the genocides of communism.

Men that seek truth through worldly philosophy and theology are students of the world and know not the Truth that is God for God is 8n His secret place and can only be found one way and philosophy and theories isn't it!
