How Can Jesus Be the Only Way to Heaven? | Episode 5

In a world where we have so many choices, it can be hard to stomach a claim of exclusivity from Christians. We look at the topic of Jesus being the only way to Heaven. Aren’t you a bit narrow-minded to believe in today’s world that Jesus is really the only way to heaven? Besides what about those who have never heard? How can you tell me God is good when many people die each day without hearing about Jesus? Is that fair to create someone and then never give them a chance to even learn about their Creator? That’s not a God I want, that’s an unjust God. Have you ever heard those arguments? Or more than that have you ever felt those questions yourself? Is Jesus really the only way? And if someone never hears of him, will they die only to spend an eternity in hell? On today’s program of CSMS, we address these issues.

Feeling Ghosted by God, lately? | Episode 4

Last week on CSMS we answered the question, “If God exists, why doesn’t he make it more obvious?” Our primary target in answering that question was non-believers. But this week, we consider the question as it relates to believers. Welcome to the show that loves doubters. On this channel, we are making sense of Christianity by making sense of the doubts that can deconstruct us with near apostate and now Apologist and Pastor Dr. Bobby Conway.

On this week’s episode, we’re asking, “Have you ever felt ghosted by God?” Have you ever asked, “God, where are you?” While the hiddenness of God is a problem for non-believers, it is also a problem for believers. There is a well-known Christian apologist who as walked away from his faith and has publicly cited this as the main reason. If this isn’t you, I am sure you know someone who fits this description.

If God exists, why doesn’t he make it more obvious? | Episode 3

If God exists, why doesn’t he make it more obvious?  This questions has bothered believe and non-believe alike. We tackle it and more on this episode of Christianity Still Makes Sense.

Welcome to the show that loves doubters. On this channel we are making sense of Christianity by making sense of the doubts that can deconstruct us with near apostate and now Apologist and Pastor Dr. Bobby Conway. 

When we look at the stories in the Bible, there are times that God has appeared in some seemingly obvious form. Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Paul, and several others were exposed to God in such away, his existence was undeniable. Why don’t all of us, or at least those who doubt God’s existence get the same clear revelation?

Well, over the next few weeks we are going to look at the topic of divine hiddenness. But we are going to do so addressing two audiences. The first audience is the non-believer. The second is the believer. There are people who fail to believe in God b/c they don’t think it’s obvious enough that God exists. Then there are believers who do believe, but feel ghosted by God as they wonder “God, where are you?”
